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

2/1/2026This 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!

5/19/2024Simply the Best! 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. .

5/17/2024We 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.

5/17/2024My 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.

5/14/2024Childcare 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.. 👏🏾👏🏾😊😊

8/13/2020I’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!!

3/19/2019My son attended this location for pre-k and my daughter who has been attending since she was six weeks(now 1). I love this location, I love the staff. Very down to Earth and polite staff. I’ve never had a major problem and I’m always contacted right away if my daughter is not feeling well or if a little incident happens I’m well aware of every step taken. Ms. V is a awesome Director, she’s keeps you involved of any changes or updates with the school and she works with you if you need assistance with childcare. Ms.Belcher also is always of assistance. Overall I like this location. I trust my children here.

3/12/2019My daughter has been attending CN 50 since she was one she’s now five and still attends for aftercare. I’ve watched her learn and grow so much with the help of her amazing teachers past and present. Being able to go to work and know that my child was in good hands has always been a big deal for me and they gave me peace of mind. The staff is practically like family,yet they still maintain their professionalism which I love!! They keep you laughing and still get the job done. Mrs.V and Mrs.Belcher always greet parents with a smile and keep their parents informed of all important information. Ms. Jessica keeps the building looking good with her amazing artistic ability. Ms. Laney does an awesome job at getting those pre-k students ready for kindergarten!! I could go on and on about my CNI Family, but I’ll let you all see for yourselves what 50 can do for your little ones. 😉
