Our focus on Preschool and Kindergarten Readiness is the final step along the path to that first exciting day when your child enters kindergarten! 

As a licensed provider and program partner with, SCDSS, ABC Quality, Early Head Start Child Care, and First Steps 4K, we provide your infant with a nurturing environment full of attention and age-appropriate activities so that your infant’s world is fun, engaging and safe. We also go the extra mile in providing services that will enrich and enhance your child’s growth within the home environment. These will include programs for the child, other siblings, and parents/guardians.


In our preschool program, our number one priority is to help your child feel confident and prepared for kindergarten. To engage your child, our lesson plans offset creativity with instruction. That balance is what stabilizes their skill-building in a community of learning where respect for themselves and for one another is emphasized.

While your baby is playing, your little one is also learning. We use Brain Connect Infant Curriculum and Creative Curriculum to create a learning environment unique to each child and classroom needs so that infants and toddlers reach key developmental milestones, including advanced motor skills, language, cognitive skills and social and emotional development.
