About Odyssey Early Schools

Founder and former CEO C. Robert Mitchell, Ph.D., held various leadership positions in some of the best systems throughout the country. With his vast knowledge of how successful schools are run and maintained, he opened Odyssey believing in the curriculum and its strong stance on age-appropriate learning. Since 1995 Odyssey has provided a safe, clean, and engaging learning environment for children. This school has won the impressive title of Birmingham’s Best Preschool for multiple years due to its staff of certified teachers using an approved curriculum. Additionally, the school possesses excellent child-to-teacher ratios paired with enriching activities! That’s pretty impressive! All three area publications, Alabama Baby & Child Magazine, Birmingham Magazine, and Birmingham Parent Magazine, gave this title.
