Schools in Columbia, SC

“The BioRePeel facial was awesome!! My students Kaylee and Haylee were amazing!! One of the best experiences I’ve had at SEHW. Will be back to have this service again!! My skin is glowing!!”

“We’ve had both of our kids at this daycare for the past five years, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel comfortable and confident leaving our children in their care. They are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s development.

What really stands out is how much our kids have grown—not just academically, but socially and emotionally. The teachers create a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn. We’ve watched our children build friendships, gain confidence, and develop a real love for learning.

Communication has always been excellent. We receive regular updates, photos, and feedback, which gives us peace of mind and helps us stay connected to our kids’ daily experiences. It’s clear that the staff truly cares about partnering with parents.

The facility is clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed for children. There’s a great balance of structured learning and playtime, and plenty of engaging activities that keep the kids excited to come back every day.

After five years, we still feel incredibly grateful to have found this daycare. It’s more than just childcare—it’s a supportive, loving community that has played a big role in our children’s early years. I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their kids.”

“I can confidently say that Little People’s Learning Center is the best choice we could have made for our family. The love and care they provide are unmatched. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and exceptional environment for their little ones.”

“Creative learning place is such a great place for your little ones. My daughter has been there about 2 months now and she loves it. She’s always excited about going to school the next day, and she loves her teachers Ms. Annie and Ms. Anna.Ms. Susan and her staff are amazing. They communicate with me very well any questions I have there’s always someone there that can help. My mind is at ease during the day knowing she’s in the hands of loving and nurturing teachers who treat her as their own. We’ve toured other preschools in the area but CLP really stood out to us since day 1 and I couldn’t be more happier with our decision. We’re thankful to be apart of the CLP family.”

“Leaving our son to return to work as a first-time mom was incredibly difficult, but Cadence Academy completely erased my fears. Our two-year-old is thriving socially and emotionally, making beautiful friendships, and learning so much!! Now, transitioning our nine-week-old daughter into their care has been incredibly smooth and easy. I have total faith and confidence in the amazing teachers here. Knowing my children are deeply loved and cared for is an absolute blessing!”

“We have experienced all three divisions of Hammond School, and each one is just exactly what our children have needed and loved at each step in their education. These teachers truly know, and invest in, their students and that support is invaluable. Beyond the classroom, we have loved the experiential education they have received by way of various service opportunities, on and off-campus special days or field studies, and their class trips. There are so many intangible benefits of the Hammond experience and community-we’re so blessed to be a part of it!”

“Montessori Early Learning Center is truly a hidden gem in Columbia. My child has been part of the MELC family for over six years, and watching her grow and thrive here has been an incredible blessing. The teachers pour so much love and dedication into every child, nurturing their strengths and gently guiding them to reach their full potential. I’m beyond grateful for the strong, nurturing foundation my child has received. Mrs. Ina and her amazing staff embody everything Montessori should be — thoughtful, intentional, and full of heart.”

“To my teachers Mr. Brandon, Ms. T , Ms Cynthia and Ms Neisa, and Ms. Tammy… you all have had such a great impact on my son’s growth. This was my son’s second daycare. His first experience at a near by center wasn’t too great but Clemson rd Sunshine House has made me feel so comfortable bringing him to school in the morning. He loves all of his teachers. We will miss you all when he graduates in July. Thank you Sunshine house. ❣”

“Absolutely wonderful daycare with caring and well trained staff! Every day I feel they genuinely care for my daughter. They are patient when I forget things, communicate clearly and in advance, and are well, creative! The halls are always decorated for special holidays and events and with the kids’ artwork. My 2 year old daughter is always happy to go and excited! Their facility is clean and well-organized. I’m so thankful for this caring and godly group of people!”

“La Petite Academy has been such a wonderful experience for our family. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how much the staff truly cares about the children. Everyone is warm, professional, and attentive, and they consistently create a safe, welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. Communication has been great, and it’s clear they take pride in making sure each child is learning, growing, and having a positive day.

A special shout-out to Ms. Angela, the after-school teacher—she is absolutely amazing! She’s patient, kind, and always keeps the children engaged. My child speaks so highly of her, and I can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She makes after-school time fun, structured, and encouraging, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my child is in such capable, caring hands.

We’re truly grateful for La Petite Academy and the exceptional team. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a school with a loving environment and an outstanding staff.”

“Our boys have absolutely thrived since starting at Cadence Academy at the beginning of the year. We love that they have holiday celebrations, themed days, and curriculum that has helped our boys learn SO much. They now speak more and know how to communicate in sign language thank you to their teacher. The teachers are incredible and we love them. Truly thankful for all they do. We also love the director, Carrie, so much!”

“I enjoy this facility. The directors and staff are wonderful, they take the time to get to know each family and build positive relationships. Everyday is packed with activities for the kids and lots of learning. I enjoy receiving daily updates for my kiddos via the app. Their summer programs is also great , they have fun and engaging experiences/ activities for the kids , a variety of field trips and create a lifetime of memories. I would highly recommend this location. Thank you center 19 ☺”
