Daycare and Pre-K Near Smyrna, GA

Smyrna families looking for high-quality childcare often look just up the road. Marietta Academy is a short drive from Smyrna — a family-run, DECAL Quality Rated center with bilingual staff, free Georgia Pre-K, and care from infants through fifth grade.

Why Smyrna Families Look Here

Worth the Short Drive

Smyrna parents often want what every working parent wants: a daycare that feels personal, has bilingual staff, accepts Georgia Pre-K, and stays open late enough to handle a real Atlanta commute. Marietta Academy checks all of those boxes — and we're just minutes from Smyrna along South Cobb Drive and Cumberland-area routes.

Our school is at 444 Pat Mell Rd W in Marietta — a straightforward drive from most Smyrna neighborhoods. For Smyrna families commuting toward Atlanta, the route from home → drop-off → I-285 or I-75 is often easier than expected.

We're open Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM — early enough for first shifts, late enough for parents who hit traffic on the way home.
