Gems Learning Academy

For all new parents that have read these reviews maybe you should go and check ou the new GEMS for yourself. They are making alot of changes! First off they have a new "management team" in place that are making some major breakthroughs! Also for all of you that knew Ms.... Carolyn, she is now gone!!! And trust me when I say we all dont miss her! However Ms. Jenny is still there so you can expect to still be gretted with a smiling face and someone that can actually get the job done! I am excited to see their progress moving forward. So in other words, dont knock'em til you try'em. Read More

Please Do Not send your child(ren) here. If you have an infant it's a major no-no! They change teachers every other day, it smells like bowel movement, and the owners want to know what goes on in the school but once they find out, they don't follow through. It's ridiculous! Cheaper does not mean better!

This is by far the most inappropriate, unprofessional daycare that I have ever seen. The owners - the McQueens- never have any idea of what is going on in their daycare. I receive government assistance that pays a portion of my child's tuition. However, the daycare h...ad not received this portion for over a year and failed to realize it. They then wanted to hold me responsible for their miskeep of their books. Also, they do not teach the children, but instead allow them to use expensive "textbooks" as coloring books. i could have bought my child a coloring book from the dollar store and pocketed the $40. Last but not least, on numerous occasions I came in and found my child along with the rest of her classmates running wild. The facilities are nicley kept which fools you, but the the way it is being ran will leave you with the same choice I was left with - to pull your child out. Read More

My experience with Gems has been a very interesting one, to say the very least. The knowledge of ECE isn't there. The owners "Mc Queens" have their CDA's but are not familiar with state guidelines or Georgia Pre-K standards. Dr. Jennings, some of you may recognize the n...ame from his affiliation with A&M. He was fired as the president due to inappropriate conduct. Check out waff.com. He was accused of changing grades for students. He hired a young man who was underqualified for said position and gave him a paid leave of absence while the young man pursued an education in another state. His defense was that the young man made up for time. Whatever...Well his lack of morals followed him from A&M. He treats others as being beneath him. It is my opinion that he is very unprofessional and has a nasty disposition. They have lost many employees and students due to the actions of management. Mr. McQueen is ok. If you want your child to learn the electric slide or cha cha cha, this is the place Read More
