The most surprising thing about becoming a mother is how incredibly difficult and competitive out of the house childcare is. When my husband and I got married in 2019, a friend told me if we planned on having children to get on the daycare waitlists now. I laughed it off thinking she was joking. However, I’ve found out the hard way that she is not! We’ve been on some waitlists in Atlanta since I was 8 weeks pregnant and at the time they told me it would be 1-3 years until a spot opens up. Here we are, our son is nearly a year old and I’ve been informed that these waitlists are still 1-3 years long. So if you’re planning a family anytime in the future, you may want to go ahead and review this list of best Atlanta daycares and get on the list.
