Led with heart since 1997

For more than 25 years, we have worked with countless families, parents, and children. Wanda DiStefano, our owner and director, has been facilitating child growth and development since 1997 — bringing decades of experience and a deep love for early childhood to everything we do.

All of our lead teachers are certified, providing the warm, qualified care that gives parents peace of mind. Holly Springs Academy is a Quality Rated center, licensed by the State of Georgia.

When you walk through our doors, you're not just choosing childcare — you're joining a family that has cared for this community for a generation.

Meeting the unique needs of every child

"At Holly Springs Academy it is our mission to meet the unique needs of children and families in our community by providing a safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive childcare experience."

What we stand for

The Holly Springs difference

Safe & Loved

Above all, children feel secure and cherished. Emotional safety is the soil everything else grows from.

Learning Through Play

Young children learn best by doing. Our days are full of purposeful, hands-on play that sparks real growth.

Family Partnership

We keep parents close and informed. The strongest outcomes come when home and school work as one team.
