Celebree School Expands to Atlanta: A New Era for Early Learning

Celebree School, renowned for its commitment to early childhood education, is making waves as it opens two new locations in the Atlanta area—Smyrna and East Cobb. This expansion marks a significant step in enhancing early learning opportunities for children aged six weeks to twelve years. With a curriculum that emphasizes not only nurturing care but also academic readiness, Celebree is set to make a notable impact on the local community.

New Locations Open Doors

The Smyrna school, located at 485 Concord Rd SE, opened its doors on September 15. It is locally owned and operated by the dynamic duo Alexander and Cathie Ernst. Together, they bring a wealth of experience to the table; Alexander has in-depth corporate leadership skills from his 15 years at The Coca-Cola Company, while Cathie boasts over 20 years of teaching children in various subjects including art and languages. Their collective experience allows them to create a supportive and enriching environment for young learners.

"Opening the doors of our Smyrna school is the fulfillment of a dream we've shared for years," says Alexander Ernst. Cathie adds, "Since opening, you can hear the children laughing and engaging in meaningful learning experiences. It's a wonderful sight to see families enrolling their children and immersing them in our vibrant community."

In East Cobb, Celebree School is led by Farwa Khan and Aloke Devalia, who share a family-focused vision for their school. With Farwa's impressive background in early childhood education and Aloke’s operational expertise from his leadership roles at renowned companies like Delta Air Lines, they are committed to creating a nurturing environment where local families feel valued. Farwa, who previously ran an accredited preschool, is especially passionate about providing children with a foundation for confidence and joy in learning. "I couldn’t be more excited to open our doors this November for the community, where children can flourish alongside their families," she states.

A Commitment to Holistic Growth

Celebree School champions the notion of "Grow People Big and Small™," which illustrates their holistic approach to education. The foundation of their philosophy lies in recognizing that success in early childhood comes from a blend of comprehensive curriculum and nurturing connections that support children's overall development. Their programs go beyond academics, aimed at fostering social, emotional, and intellectual growth in a safe and secure atmosphere.

Children engage in a variety of activities that allow them to explore their creativity through age-appropriate play, projects, and interactive experiences. With a focus on building positive social skills and values, Celebree's curriculum is tailored to meet the specific developmental needs of each child, preparing them for both kindergarten and future academic challenges. Parents can opt for part-time or full-time care, with an open-door policy that encourages visits at any time—a practice that cultivates trust and transparency between families and educators.

A Vision for the Future

Richard Huffman, founder and CEO of Celebree School, expressed excitement over the new locations and the leadership team’s dedication. He noted, "We’re proud to welcome Alexander, Cathie, Farwa, and Aloke into our Celebree family. Their commitment to children, families, and the community aligns seamlessly with our mission, and we’re excited to see Smyrna and East Cobb families thrive through our enriching programs."

Currently, Celebree School – Smyrna operates from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., while the East Cobb location will follow a schedule of 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Families interested in learning more about the new Celebree Schools should visit their websites or contact them directly for further information.
