Welcome to Children's Academy of Hickory Flat

Since 1997, we have offered a christian, educational, and nurturing environment for preschool, pre-K, before/afterschool students in the Canton and Woodstock area. Our vision is to see children develop their mental, physical, spiritual and social skills within a loving, caring environment. We aspire to see the children leave us to attend public and private schools prepared for success in all areas. We are a family-owned and run company with owners on site daily. We are a Christian-based school and followers of Jesus Christ.

What our Parents have to say!

My son started attending CAHF in June for "summer camp". Prior to this he had attended the same school from 8 months through Pre-K. Changing schools was very nerve-wracking for me. The transition has been great! All of the kiddos seem to have a blast and the teachers are all very kind and attentive. I LOVE the school app they use. I get notified of any incidents as soon as they happen. Not only a description of what happened, but a picture of the bump/bruise/etc so that I can determine for myself if further action needs to be taken. I also get updates through this app of any sicknesses that may have started in the classroom, pictures from his day and reminders of upcoming events. I highly recommend CAHF! My son will be continuing here for after school care 🙂

We absolutely love CAHF! I always knew I wanted my kids to come here, ever since I moved to Hickory Flat and noticed this was a small family owned, Christian based school. So having them here now is a true answer to prayer. My oldest daughter just finished the GA Pre-K program here, and my youngest is about to start GA Pre-K here this coming year. They have also done daycare and summer "camp" here. They are always so excited to go to school! The teachers are all so nice and love my girls so well. I love that they have so much space and different areas to offer the kids for outside time, or the big gym if it's raining. I love the app and the pics they upload throughout the day. The billing system is nice and seamless. We love it all!

CAHF has been the 2nd home for my daughter for the past 4 years. We have always felt very welcome every time we walked through their doors. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring and patient, and go out of their way to ensure each child knows how special they are. CAHF provides the perfect environment for children to learn, explore and grow! I couldn't have asked for a better place for my daughter. We are so blessed to have found this daycare and school!

My son has gone to Children’s Academy of Hickory Flat from preschool, through Pre-K and now annually for summer camp. CAHF is a wonderful organization with professional employees who love the kiddos! The facilities are very clean and organized, and there are tons of activities for the children- including swimming, field, multiple playgrounds, and a gym with a bounce house!

We’ve been with CAHF for almost 6 years with 2 kids. We love the owners, communication, everyone is super helpful and it’s CLEAN!! The fact that I feel good about dropping my babies off means the world to me. We highly recommend CAHF!! They have been so loving and caring with my kids and that makes my heart so happy.
