About Premier Childcare Learning Academy
Where Readers, Thinkers, and Leaders Begin.
At Premier Childcare Learning Academy, we believe that exceptional early education begins with one powerful commitment: literacy first.
We care for children aged 2 through school age, Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM – 5:30 PM, in a structured, academically rich environment where every child is given the tools, the guidance, and the foundation they need to succeed in school and in life.
Our Philosophy
Intentional. Research-Based. Literacy-First.
At Premier CCLA, we don't leave early learning to chance. Every element of our program, from the curriculum we follow to the environment we've designed, is built on a foundation of research, intention, and an unshakeable belief in the power of literacy.
We follow the Creative Curriculum and the Science of Reading because the evidence is clear: children who develop strong literacy foundations in their earliest years go on to become stronger students, more confident communicators, and more capable thinkers across every subject and stage of their education.
Warmth and structure are not opposites at Premier CCLA. They work together, creating an environment where children feel secure enough to engage deeply, think critically, and grow academically every single day.
Who We Are
Premier Childcare Learning Academy was established with a singular purpose: to raise the standard of early education in Smyrna, GA.
We set out to build something genuinely different: an early learning academy where literacy isn't an add-on, but the very foundation of everything. Where academic rigor and genuine care exist together. Where families don't just drop off their children; they partner with us to build something remarkable.
We are licensed by Bright from the Start, fully insured, and deeply committed to operating at the highest standard of early childhood education, because the families we serve deserve nothing less.

About Our Smyrna Academy
Every Space Designed for Learning
Step inside Premier Childcare Learning Academy and you'll notice something immediately: every detail has been designed with purpose. From our classrooms to our outdoor learning spaces, every environment is designed to foster literacy, inspire curiosity, and nurture a lifelong love of learning.
A Literacy-First Academic Environment
Literacy is woven throughout every part of our academy. Books, language, and meaningful learning experiences are integrated into the day, helping children build strong reading, vocabulary, communication, and critical thinking skills in every classroom.
An Outdoor Classroom
Our secure outdoor spaces extend learning beyond the classroom walls. Through purposeful exploration and hands-on experiences, children connect academic concepts to the world around them while developing confidence, creativity, and curiosity.
A Garden That Teaches
Our garden serves as a living classroom where children develop scientific thinking, expand their vocabulary, and learn responsibility as they explore nature and discover where food comes from.
A Calm, Secure Learning Environment
A calm, organized, and beautifully designed environment helps children feel safe, confident, and ready to learn. We believe academic success begins with a space where each child feels secure, supported, and inspired.
Our Learning Spaces
At Premier CCLA, every space, indoors and out, is thoughtfully arranged to invite exploration, support literacy, and encourage independence.
Structured, language-rich, and academically designed, our classrooms are where focused literacy instruction, guided exploration, and critical thinking come to life each day.
Secure, purposefully arranged outdoor spaces that extend learning beyond the classroom, supporting physical development, scientific observation, and real-world discovery.
Art, music, gardening, Spanish, and sign language are woven into the academic fabric of every day as essential tools for whole-child development and deeper learning.
Academic Excellence Meets Genuine Care
At Premier CCLA, we hold two things to be equally true: that children deserve the highest standard of academic preparation, and that they thrive when they feel genuinely cared for.
Our program is built to deliver both. Using the Creative Curriculum and the Science of Reading, we provide every child with a structured, research-based education that builds real skills in literacy, numeracy, science, social studies, and social-emotional development from the earliest age.
Children leave Premier CCLA as confident learners, emerging readers, and kindergarten-ready students.
