This school is not the same as it was with the old owners. All of the previous reviews for the most part were under Nooris care. For details PM me. My oldest was so blessed to go here from 2019-2021. I was hopeful my youngest could have a similar experience. At first I had high hopes. She struggles with structure and speech. They could not handle her because she had never been to school. If your child has gone to daycare their whole life you will be ok but if your child is new to school and structure they will not have the patience to help them along. Don’t waste your time.
Mine was a similar experience to the other recent low review below.

Our hearts are truly grateful for Intrinsic Scholars Academy! 💙 Our oldest attended four years ago, and now our youngest is making her own special memories here. She is happy every day she goes to school, and we love seeing how much she is learning and developing new skills. The staff is caring and always easy to communicate with through messages and updates, and we love receiving pictures throughout the day! The extra activities like dance, Spanish, and cooking are a big plus. We truly feel like part of the Intrinsic family! 🥰💙
I love the small atmosphere of the school. The staff are great. They love the children.
Just wanted to take the time to say that I am so happy with the summer camp program. My son loves coming home and showing me the crafts they do every day there He loves going on the field trips . This has been the best summer for him. also, I have a daughter that goes in the beginners classroom just knowing that she’s happy to be there
Makes drop-offs so easy. The classrooms are turning amazing with this whole turnover Miss Vickey. The Director is doing her best and I can see it. The classroom is more welcoming.

As a mom of two girls, I couldn't ask for a better place for them to learn, grow, and be loved. Knowing they walk into a classroom where they're cared for, encouraged, and genuinely happy gives me so much peace of mind.
The teachers truly love what they do, and it shows. My girls have learned so much, made amazing friends, and come home excited to tell me about everything they did that day. The communication is wonderful, and I always know they're in the best hands.
Intrinsic has become so much more than a daycare to our family, it feels like home. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and I'm so grateful and blessed that Intrinsic is apart of mine. Thank you for loving my girls like your own and helping them become confident, kind, and curious little learners. We are so grateful to be part of the Intrinsic family! 💙

My 3.5 year old grandson was kicked out of Intrinsic Academy after 2 hours.
When we dropped my grandson off for his first day of school at Intrinsic, something was immediately off. There was no one at the front desk, the lights in the front were off, and when a woman finally came to the front to collect us, it was obvious that we were not expected, in spite of numerous emails back-and-forth between my daughter and the school’s administration leading up to his first day of school. They informed us that the woman who would be his teacher was not in yet due to car trouble and there was no cubby with his name prepared.
Two hours after we dropped him off, we were called and told to come pick him up. Ostensibly, Intrinsic claims he threw a toy (which hit no one nor damaged any property) and refused to join circle time, choosing instead to sit quietly and play with toys. When we arrived, my grandson was playing, calmly and quietly with the toys.
They have refunded all of the money we paid upfront, but we were left scrambling, to find a new place for him, now with the added stress of worrying we would be unable to find a place that could “handle him”.
My recommendation would be to find somewhere else to place your child. I’m honestly not sure I believe the reviews here are real and I’m frankly amazed that the state of Georgia is willing to let this place keep its license if a child like my grandson is too much for them to handle.
Before Intrinsic, my grandson had never been in a full time, daycare environment before. However, we have left him at the YMCA daycare, multiple times, for up to 1 hour while we worked out, where they never had any issues with him.
And I’d like to finish this review by noting that we have my grandson in a lovely school, Mt. Elizabeth Academy, that has had zero problems with him, and had him sitting quietly in circle time, participating with the other kids, on the very first day, in the very first hour.

The director that this place has is wonderful!!! She has started making changes to the daycare and getting a new "village" in place for all the kids and it's really starting to show. The atmosphere has really changed around in the last few weeks and the "village" has been great. I really love what they are doing now with the kids and I feel so much better when dropping off my infant and leaving her in their care now. ❤️
Our two kids have had a really good experience at Intrinsic Academy so far. The teachers are patient and attentive, and both boys seem genuinely comfortable there. We’ve noticed steady progress in their confidence, routines, and how they handle the school day. The environment feels structured without being rigid, and communication with the staff has been easy. It’s been a solid fit for our family, and we’re happy with how our kids are growing there.
We’ve had a positive experience with our sons’ daycare. During a period of recent changes, the staff has remained attentive and supportive, helping maintain a stable environment for the kids.
Our boys are comfortable there and enjoy their time, which is important to us. We appreciate the consistency and care the team provides each day.

🐻📚 Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? 🌈
Our Pre-K students had so much fun bringing this beloved story to life! For the past two weeks, our classroom has been filled with colors, storytelling, conversation, and hands-on learning inspired by Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? 🎨📖
Each day, our students dressed in a different color while learning about color recognition, sequencing, patterns, vocabulary, and story recall. Most importantly, they were building confidence, sharing their ideas, and learning together through play and meaningful classroom experiences. ❤️
We wrapped up our special two weeks today with a Teddy Bear Picnic with our families! 🧺🧸
It was such a sweet way to celebrate all the learning, laughter, friendships, and memories our Pre-K students created together. Thank you to our families for joining us and making the day extra special! 💙
