The Vinings Academy Staff

Our diverse group of multi-national teachers are passionate about your child’s happiness and growth and come to us from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. During the school year, our teachers attend various educational training programs in Georgia. In addition, many of our teachers have degrees in early childhood education and math, and are certified as CDAs (Childhood Developmental Associate).

Our diversified and multilingual group of teachers gives our international preschool a different cultural flavor. At least half of our teachers speak two languages (English and Spanish).
