Schools near Irmo, SC

“My 2-year-old grandson has been attending this center for almost two months and he LOVES it! After having a horrible stay at his last daycare, I thought he would have a hard time adjusting. He was a bit apprehensive at first, but as soon as his teacher grabbed him in a bear hug and told him he was going to have a great time, his attitude changed. He loves going in every morning and comes home singing and dancing at night. The interaction and curriculum make for a perfect environment to grow, learn, and explore. Also, the daily reports on activities of my grandson help to reinforce learning at home. The Ms. Rochelsa and the staff here are absolutely amazing! I'm so glad my grandson loves it here as much as his dad did 24 years ago! Thank you all for turning our nightmare daycare experience into a dream world!”

“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.”

“Awesome daycare! Staff treated my children like their own. I love Skylar being in the infant room, she made sure everything went smooth and made sure she sent me plenty of updates. This daycare is very clean and well kept. If you want a daycare that treats you and your children like family this is the daycare to go to. I love that they keep the parents involved in everything and the director and assistant director Mrs. AJ / Mrs. E are very great at making sure the daycare runs smooth and in order.”

“This location has wonderful staff. They definitely communicate well with me about my toddler and all his needs. It has been wonderful having my son at a place where staff cares so much about the care and needs of each child. Last week was also MVP week and they did a lovely job especially spreading the word of stopping child abuse with wrist bands and pins.”

“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!”

“I want to comment on the character and pastoral leadership of lead pastor David. I have known him for many years and was apart of his previous church, and small geoup, in Summerville SC. We grew apart when he and his family moved to Lexington but then 5 years later my family also made the move.

It took a few years but we recently reconnected and I am very thankful we did. If looking for a church family I would 100% reccomend trying Lake Murray Baptist.”

“Aspire was a great place for my daughter and son. My daughter was one of the first kids enrolled in the Lexington campus. The experience my wife an I had was fantastic, professional, and caring. One of the most memorable actions that stood out was their ability to be transparent and real with various situations. This institute and its staff gave both my daughter and son a great start in their educational journey. I appreciate the experience and the transparency that was given while my kids were enrolled. Thank you guys!”

“My daughter has been attending Creative Beginnings since she was 12 weeks old and she is now 3 years old. The staff and director, Rose Mary, are not short of amazing. Not everyday has been perfect but communication is key and they've done a great job with communication and addressing any questions that I've had.”

Since day one Regina opened her doors with her welcoming passion for children. With joy and charisma, Regina showed us all the activities the kids do and learn. We are always updated on upcoming projects and receiving pictures daily. It has been an amazing journey. Thank you Aspire staff!”
