Below is a video from Georgia DECAL that explains more about their quality-rated child care listings and ranking system.

Hopefully, this list helps you in your search for the best child and daycare in the greater Augusta area. I’ve only had personal experience with a few of the facilities on the list and am not making any endorsements. However, I encourage you to access Georgia DECAL’s website in greater detail, particularly for those facilities that we did not have room to list in this post.

And when you have some time for family fun, I recommend visiting Phinizy Swamp Nature Park or Riverbanks Zoo. Both are within a one-hour drive from Augusta. You can find out more about these two locations, in addition to other nearby zoos, in this article on our site.
