Where Families Grow Together

Preschool & Childcare Center Serving Flowery Branch, GA

Family-Owned. Passion-Driven. Built to Nurture, Teach, & Truly Care
Choosing a preschool is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. That’s why we built ours on something more than academics—it’s built on heart.
Founded in 2006 by Brian and Nicky Winnford, Winnford Academy unites quality education with a genuine love for children. With Brian’s business expertise and Nicky’s background as a Georgia Pre-K teacher, they opened a school where every detail—from the classroom design to the curriculum—was carefully planned with children and families in mind.
In 2023, after years of dedication, former teacher and Director Joshua Potters joined the Winnfords in ownership.
Like the founders, Joshua’s journey began in the classroom, giving him a unique perspective and a personal commitment to excellence.
Winnford Academy is not a franchise. It’s a school built from the ground up, operated by the very people who greet you each morning. We are on-site daily, know our families by name, and remain invested in creating an environment where every child feels safe, supported, and ready to thrive.
We’re proud to be Quality-Rated (2 stars) and committed to ongoing improvement, staff development, and maintaining high standards—because our children and yours deserve nothing less.

Our Core Principles Guide Every Decision, Every Interaction, & Every Moment with Your Child:

Genuine Care & Compassion
Every child, parent, and teacher is seen as a unique individual with inherent worth.
Openness & Teamwork
We listen, collaborate, and grow together—because it takes a village, and we’re honored to be yours.
Individual Responsibility
We encourage initiative and model integrity, helping children and staff grow into confident, capable individuals.

You’re Not Just Enrolling Your Child—You’re Gaining a Village

Your child won’t just learn letters and numbers here. They’ll build friendships, discover their strengths, and feel safe to be exactly who they are. And you? You’ll have a team that listens, communicates, and walks beside you through every step of your child’s early learning journey.
