About Us

Caterpillar International Academy, located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, is an internationally focused preschool that blends education and play within a structured curriculum. Our diverse learning environment draws from global perspectives, preparing children to thrive in an interconnected world.

At C.I.A., we believe that early childhood is the foundation for lifelong learning. Our innovative programs nurture each child’s natural curiosity, creativity, and social-emotional growth. Through daily, play-based activities, students engage in hands-on experiences in art, music, language, math, science, and movement, all designed to support their cognitive and physical development.

As part of our commitment to global education, we currently offer ASL, French and Spanish enrichment, giving children early exposure to new languages and cultures in fun, age-appropriate ways.

We take pride in maintaining small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio, ensuring every child receives personalized attention and care. Our teachers are passionate about fostering strong relationships and guiding each child’s journey socially, emotionally, and spiritually through encouragement, exploration, and connection.

Our beautiful campus features a large outdoor playground area divided into two age-appropriate sections, allowing children to play safely while developing important gross motor and social skills. Each space encourages active learning, creativity, and teamwork in a secure and nurturing environment.

At Caterpillar International Academy, we partner with families to create a community where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.
