Frequently Asked Questions
What age children do you accept?
Ages 6 weeks to 5 years.
What are the admission policies?
Peachtree Childtown admits children from the ages of 6 weeks to 5 years without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, or ancestry.
Can you accept children with special needs?
Childtown welcomes and accepts children with special needs as long as
a safe, supportive and appropriate environment can be provided for the
child, and adequate staff can be assigned for appropriate care. Financial
support for this policy of inclusion comes from The Hank Stone Memorial
Fund. Parents can apply for consideration of some financial assistance
if needed. The Hank Stone Fund also provides funding for specialized staff.
What is the staff/child ratio?
At Childtown, the adult-to-child ratios are low and groups are small.
These features help to insure that children receive the attention they
need during a crucial time in their development. Additionally, the new
facility was designed specifically for small, personal class sizes. The
ratio in infant rooms is three or four babies to one caregiver. The young
toddler ratio is four to one and older toddlers and preschoolers are staffed
five children to one adult.
Do you have an educational curriculum?
Childtown implements the High/Scope Approach to Early Learning
and Care for Children. Kindermusik is provided weekly as well
as age appropriate art experiences, drama, and physical play with games
and creative movement. Classrooms are stocked with required learning tools
to meet criteria for Center of Distinction.
