Gate City Day Nursery Association is one of the most established names in early childhood education and family support in the Atlanta metropolitan region. Our high standard of excellence includes NAEYC accredited centers, degreed and certified lead teachers, and partnerships in the community with agencies such as Atlanta Public Schools Program for Exceptional Children, TLC-Transforming the Lives of Children, Jumpstart, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Inc., and many more that ensure that our children get the very best early education Atlanta has to offer.

Since its inception in 1905, Gate City has served the needs of working families and continues that tradition today at its three early learning centers located in the heart of Atlanta. Our comprehensive approach to learning maximizes the child’s full potential. Our Strengthening Families Initiative provides a social network for families through center-based activities, parenting workshops, and parent resource libraries. Our family-based intervention is designed to help families improve functioning and achieve economic independence.

We operate our program full day, year round, with convenient hours to accommodate working parents. Our well qualified, nurturing staff offers a developmentally appropriate and safe learning environment for young children to gain the skills necessary for them to enter kindergarten prepared to learn. Other benefits from our program include: individualized learning experiences, rich social experiences, developmental and health screenings, nutritious meals and services to meet the special needs of children.

We invite you to make an appointment to come out to one of our locations to take a tour and meet our staff. You will found out what other members of the community have known for over 100 years---that Gate City Day Nursery Association offers the very best in early childhood education. We always have, and we always will! Our motto is: “A quality early childhood program, where learning comes first!”
