In 2000, a small group of women had the idea to start a small Mother's Morning Out (MMO) program at our congregation as a way to serve the community. This served ages two - four. Eventually, we added a one-year-old classroom.

In 2003, we added a six months classroom to the MMO program. There was a total of fifteen enrolled in the MMO program. That year we also added a Preschool K4 (Pre-K4) classroom with six enrolled. At this time the MMO and Pre-K4 programs were still separately managed.

In 2004, the MMO program and the preschool program became one, and SONflowers Learning Academy was created. The school enrolled 35 students that year. They offered a second language program with sign language and Spanish, music and developmentally appropriate curriculums for all ages. The school also had daily Bible study for each age and bi-monthly chapel services. We had six teachers with the director acting as one teacher. The following year enrollment increased to 51. We then added three more teachers and a full time director.

In the 2006-2007 school year we added the first kindergarten class to our established preschool program and became West Cobb Christian Academy. Every year following we have added an additional grade level to our elementary program.
