Child Development Program

The Frazer Center is a high-quality early education program like no other in Metro Atlanta. With credentialed and loving teachers, the nationally acclaimed, play-based Creative Curriculum, an inclusive philosophy that brings together children with and without disabilities, and a stunning campus nestled in an urban forest, Frazer truly is a magical place for children to play, learn, and grow.

Our Child Development Program is Quality Rated and recognized in the community as a high-quality, inclusive program serving children six weeks to five years old. Our educational environment consists of children with varying abilities, reflecting the natural composition of the community at large. All children benefit from being in a supportive, challenging, and stimulating environment with instruction that addresses their individual uniqueness and developmental stages. Children without developmental delays are provided an opportunity to develop a realistic view of children with delays or disabilities and an appreciation for those differences while engaging in peer tutoring and strengthening their own skills.

Our Child Development Program addresses the social, educational, and developmental needs of all children so they are ready for kindergarten, with a specific emphasis on preparing the children with delays or identified disabilities to learn and grow in inclusive settings. An additional benefit of the program is the early identification or confirmation of developmental delays in children, which are often not recognized until later by the family or pediatrician, thus, delaying the intervention process. Rooted in research-based practices of early childhood development, each child is assessed through an individual portfolio, demonstrating the developmental growth of every child as they progress through our program.

Housed on a historic estate and garden in the midst of a 39-acre mature forest, Frazer's "city kids" learn to love nature. They hike the forest trails with their families and teachers, romp on our shady, accessible playground, and explore our Sensory Garden and our outdoor environmental classroom. This beautiful setting is just part of what makes the Frazer Center so special—a place large enough to offer diverse learning opportunities for children, but small enough to feel warm, welcoming, and nurturing.

Our Child Development Program has earned a 2-star status from Quality Rated, an initiative of Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, helping parents and families in Georgia find high-quality child care, preschool, and pre-k programs.
