Since 1968, Angel’s Paradise Higher Learning Academy has provided childcare and early education services to families in Atlanta, operating from 595 Joseph Lowery Boulevard, Atlanta, GA 30310. The center serves children ranging in age from 6 weeks through 5 years in its core childcare program, with an after-school program extending services to children up to age 12.
The academy offers four primary program types: traditional childcare, Georgia lottery-funded Pre-Kindergarten with before and after care, after-school care for school-age children, and a summer camp that includes weekly field trips. The center operates Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. year-round, with closures observed for holidays, teacher planning days, and inclement weather.
The academy’s educational philosophy describes a two-part learning environment that addresses both the child and the parent. The curriculum focuses on intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and cultural development, with the stated belief that “motivation for learning comes from within the child and is stimulated and cultivated by teacher and parent reinforcement, guidance and example.” The organization also identifies itself as a family advocate agency, working to support and foster positive relationships between parents and the broader community.
Leadership includes Director Angelia Gay Bankston, Center Manager Brigette Reynolds, and Assistant Center Manager Stephen Northern II. The academy maintains a COVID-19 safety policy, details of which are available for review on their website.
With more than 55 years of continuous operation in the Atlanta metro area, Angel’s Paradise Higher Learning Academy is one of the longer-standing early education providers in the region. Contact information is (404) 755-8493.
