How childcare works here
What's different in Georgia
Child care in Georgia is licensed and monitored by Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL), which also runs Georgia's Pre-K and the Quality Rated system. Family engagement is a rated component — visible, documented communication helps.
Metro Atlanta's growth has created a competitive center market where families tour several options. The visible center wins.

Georgia DECAL (Bright from the Start)
Quality Rated values family engagement; a documented daily feed and parent-engagement summary support the portfolio.
Consent & data
Tiered consent (family-only / group / public), recorded per child and enforced by software. FERPA directory-information opt-outs apply where the school receives federal funds; COPPA's 2026 amendments make ‘no child accounts, no ad SDKs’ the safe default for apps.
