About

Welcome to Childcare Network Decatur Candler Road, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Virgalitha Sheppard, and I am the school Director. At our school, we strive to ensure that parents feel safe and secure leaving their children with us and that those children leave every day smiling. We know that early education is integral in establishing a solid foundation for their child's educational journey. Our goal for students is to foster an environment where each child can challenge themselves and achieve success. As many of our staff are parents themselves, we understand how rewarding and demanding a parent's role can sometimes be, especially as a working parent. We are committed to providing a supportive community for the families we serve. We all want our students to be happy, nurtured, and provided with the best learning opportunities. Our staff members provide a safe environment and nurture your child on their learning journey while giving them the freedom to explore and develop in a warm and caring environment. Feel free to stop in for a tour or call to speak with a team member. We look forward to the opportunity to build a long-lasting relationship with your family

since 2013 my child experiences have been awesome and adventurous. The parent/teacher interactions present appropriate learning and social stigmatism that challenges your child's intellectual growth and development. Childcare network's educational system has nourished my child's life in vigorous ways and I would not ever exchange his time at another institution for anything.

This is the best daycare, especially as a first-time mom. They make me feel completely comfortable with constant updates, videos, and pictures throughout the day. They truly focus on all areas of learning and development, helping my daughter grow and thrive. They’ve also been incredibly supportive with potty training. I couldn’t ask for a better place and would absolutely recommend them!

We love childcare network. This day care is very educational and affordable and my son loves it. They keep the kids busy with a great balance of educational activities and fun. They have a great routine and have given my son additional structure when it comes to putting away his toys and manners with other kids and adults. The ladies who run it are a pleasure as well. You're always greeted with smiles and they truly try to build a genuine relationship with you and your children.

My baby leaps into his teachers arms at drop off every morning, barely even notices when I leave. The staff here are SO kind and love these kids SO much. Meals are provided which makes the cost a great value. The extended hours make life possible for my two working parents family. I can't say enough about how lucky we were to find this place and that they had a spot available for us.

Childcare Network #50!!! Best center in town.. I remember bringing my daughter for the first time around July 2024 and I was nervous. However, the service, the dedication, and the time that’s spent with my daughter is so rewarding. She's in the infant room and turned 1 and has a great vocabulary where she's repeating some words from her teacher, she interacts to familiar songs. Also, her teacher Ms. Amanda has been amazing with communication, supplies, and more.. I'm well pleased to have her at a center with people who care and dedicate their time with passion, calm voices, and a warm spirit.. 👏🏾👏🏾😊😊

I’ve been looking for good childcare for my daughter for almost 2 years now. She has been to a few different facilities, and I have to be honest, Childcare Network #50 is the best by a long shot! My daughter has been going there for about a month and I can tell she is learning far more than she has in the past. I can tell she is happy and her growth is being facilitated! The director Mrs.V is a reflection of her amazing facility. She is warm and welcoming! Whenever I have a question or concern she listens and handles it accordingly! Everyone is always smiling and happy! I lucked up on this diamond in the ruff!!
