Seven Oaks Academy is a privately owned and operated preschool with a dynamic history of serving our local community in Gwinnett County, GA since 1988 where we recently have relocated to Lawrenceville. Our core values which we hire, train, retain and assess our team needs include:

• Respect - We place a high value of respect for our children and their families, each other as teammates, ourselves as individuals, our local community, the reputation of our school and the cultural diversity of our world.
• No Excuses - Each person on our team is accountable for their own "B.E.D." - we do not Blame;

• Play Dough - We are fun like play dough by being creative, enthusiastic about life and positive go-getters. We laugh "with our bellies" and do it often each day.
• Team Player - We are humble, supportive, have each others back, dedicated, compassionate team players that trust each other to achieve our goals.
• Faith Driven - No matter the religious dogma.
