What Parents Say
Trusted by Families Across Wake County
I first found Atlas in a holistic/crunchy moms group on Facebook. I was looking for a preschool that had smaller class sizes and focused on the whole child. I loved the language and music aspect of the school as well as the emphasis on clean eating. I wanted my child to be encourage to eat healthy foods and get plenty of exercise and socialization in a safe space. Atlas fit that for us and a lot of the other key aspects like low-tech, parent involvement and traditional values solidified our desire to continue at Atlas.
