The future of early childhood education in East Cobb took a major step forward today as Celebree School of Marietta at Shallowford officially broke ground at its new location, 3930 Shallowford Road.
The celebratory event brought together community leaders, educators, family, and friends to mark the beginning of construction on a school designed to provide a nurturing, family-focused learning environment for young children. Representatives from the Cobb Chamber of Commerce—including Elizabeth Colletti, Jesus Martinez, Kimberly Harmon, and Alex Reed—were in attendance, alongside Celebree School leadership, CEO Richie Huffman and COO Allison Tsomos.
The Marietta location is owned and operated by Jyoti and Rajesh Solanki, marking their first Celebree School franchise. For Jyoti Solanki, the milestone represents the realization of a lifelong dream rooted in her years of experience as an early childhood educator.
“It has always been my dream to open a school that feels like family, where I can bring my passion for educating young people and know that we are helping grow people big and small,” said Jyoti Solanki.
Jyoti, who spent over a decade as a Pre-K teacher, was joined at the event by former students ranging from elementary through high school, as well as former colleagues, directors, and mentors who have been part of her educational journey. Their presence underscored the lasting impact of her work in the classroom and the strong community ties that will help shape the new school.
Set to open in July 2026, Celebree School of Marietta at Shallowford will offer programs for children from as young as six weeks old through Pre-K, with a focus on comprehensive early childhood development in a safe, engaging, and supportive environment.
Enrollment is now open, with special incentives available for the school’s first 50 “Founding Families.” These include a scholarship for the first 12 months, one complimentary week of vacation, and additional exclusive gifts and bonuses.
Celebree School is known for its commitment to fostering a sense of belonging, education, and personal growth among its students. The Marietta location aims to continue that tradition while serving families throughout the East Cobb community.
