    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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!”

Heathwood is a nurturing, supportive, and respectful environment - kids are encouraged to push themselves, try new experiences. Heathwood has been in transition since my kids started there about 5-6 years ago, and in the past two years - just keeps getting BETTER AND BETTER.”

    “My eldest daughter attended LMMS for three years and we absolutely loved it. The owner and her teacher, as well as the other primary teachers are amazing! She’s in second grade now and still talks about her first school. Naturally, with our experience, I enrolled my youngest there as well. The receptionist is very kind and accommodating and of course the owner is just a rock star. The primary teachers are the same and my youngest is loving her teacher and class. We love this little community and love that my daughters got and are getting taught here.”

    “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.”

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.

    “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.”
