Schools near Lake Wylie, SC

“I can't say enough wonderful things about The Goddard School LKW!! From the incredible teachers to the pristine building, it has been a wonderful experience for our kids. The teachers go above and beyond to try to figure out how each child learns best, and the Goddard curriculum ensures these kids are overly prepared to start kindergarten. The teachers and admins are all helpful and responsive to any questions or rare concerns that may arise. We love it here, would 1000% recommend.”

“We absolutely love Kiddie Academy of Fort Mill! The teachers are incredibly caring and attentive, making our son feel safe and happy every day. The activities are engaging and educational, promoting both fun and learning. Feel at home here. Highly recommend!”

“I love working here and I love the education that my son has received! He is beyond prepared for Kindergarten and I am so thankful to the amazing teachers and management team for their support!”

“We are so fortunate to be able to enroll our son at FOD Baxter! We toured quite a few centers and were always indecisive until our tour at FOD Baxter. Ms. Christine at the front gave us a tour and reassured us our son would be in good hands. Her calm, gentle and nurturing ways carry across to the classrooms and she helped ease our son the first few weeks of daycare especially during nap time which was a hard transition for him to acclimate to.

Ms. Amanda and Ms. Kaylie have been amazing teachers and my husband and I always feel reassured when we leave our son at FOD. You know if the teachers have genuine love and care for children when your own kid cries to go back to daycare! Our son gets upset if he has to miss a day and is always so happy to go back.

Ms. Amanda has a great rapport with all the kids in her classroom and you can see how each of them gravitates to her. She's always doing fun activities for them during academic/learning enrichment time and provides updates throughout the day.

Our son Loves Ms. Amanda and is always so happy and excited to see her in the mornings. She has such a natural way with kiddos and it's easy to see why every kid loves her. Her kind and warm smile immediately puts a crying kid at ease.

Even though my son isn't in Ms. Kaylie's class anymore he still gets happy and excited to see her when they are all out for outdoor playtime and I know she gives such great attention, care and warmth to all the kiddos in her class. She gets in on the fun with the kids herself.”

“So very pleased with our recent move to OakCrest Ac. in Tega Cay. The staff are always friendly and helpful, children are happy at pick up and drop off. The school is run safely and have had 0 issues with accidents or safety concerns. My little one is provided a variety of meals throughout the day which helps her be exposed to different options. We're very happy with our time at OPA of TC!”

“My son has attended TLE since he was 3 and we are headed to kindergarten in the fall. The teachers dedication to the children, the curriculum, and the support provided by the administrative staff has made our time at TLE great. Ms. Connie Sherlock, the pre-k teacher is hands down a true gem and I am so thankful my son has her. She demonstrates a true passion for teaching, she loves her students, and they all absolutely adore her. Leaving TLE will be bittersweet but I am grateful for our time here as this school created a foundation of learning for my child.”

“NewBridge has been such a blessing for our family. The staff is wonderful. We have really seen our daughter take off since starting here. She is learning so much. The teachers and staff truly care about our child and provide easy ways to communicate with them when needed. The brightwheel app is also very helpful for updates on our child and making payments. I am also really appreciative for how NewBridge has navigated the pandemic. We are really lucky to have this day care as part of the Belmont community.”

“I would like to start off by saying that 5 stars does not do any justice to how amazing this school is. If I could like 100 stars, I believe that would be more appropriate. When we moved to NC, I prayed to find a school that loved and cared for our daughter as if she was their own child. This is EXACTLY what we found at The Learning Experience. They say that it takes a village to raise a child and this is exactly what we found; an extended part of our family. Finding TLE has literally been a blessing and an answered prayer for our family. The amount of time, dedication, love and passion they put into caring after your children is unmatched. From the amazing ladies at the front desk who welcome her in the morning with a "HEY GIRL" to a "SEE YA" on her walk out in the afternoon. To all the teachers who go above and beyond to make us feel loved, welcomed and included. I would like to give personal recognition to Ms. Angie, Ms. Sydney and Ms. Heaven, our daughter has worked with these teachers and I can vouch that they are phenomenal. They have helped our little girl blossom and the reason she has had so much improvement in such little time. Our daughter suffers from a speech delay and before starting at TLE, our daughter was a shy little girl who barely said anything. Now her vocabulary has improved tremendously and everyday she comes home saying new words or singing a new song she learned at school. They nurture your children and love them so much, to the point that our daughter will run to her classroom every morning and even forgets to kiss me goodbye. When I leave her at school every day, I know that she is being well taken care of and that gives me all the peace of mind in the world. I am extremely grateful to have come across TLE and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone in search of a learning center like this. At TLE you are not just another check, and I am a witness to this everyday. The love they show our little girl is remarkable, and we are blessed every day to be part of the TLE family!”

“So grateful for our TLE teachers, teachers aids, and staff!!! My son started daycare in Nov and he has LOVED every minute of it. He literally smiles so big when he sees we’ve park at TLE in the mornings!!!As a parent, I was so stressed and anxious to find the right place for my son and I am so blessed to say we found it. Miss Ashley and Miss Keilani welcomed my son with open arms when he first started in toddler B, and as he transitioned into Twaddler A, Miss Erica and Miss Mahagony have been equally as kind, patient, and supportive.I also want to say that in addition to the great staff, I truly appreciated the fact that TLE has an app in which the teachers can give us constant updates on what the littles are doing in class and share some pictures with us throughout the day. Moreover, we also like that the facilities are always clean and tidy & we love the security measures they have to keep our littlest ones safe.Overall, if you are a parent and are still debating where to enroll your child This is the place!!”

“The best place I could ever find for my babies. We have not met one teacher or person we’ve had issues with. They truly are like family and a huge comfort knowing my kids are in caring hands during the day. Ms. Kayla, Ms. Zoe, Ms. Ticia, Ms. Shae, Ms. Ty, Ms. Andrea, and so so many more - thank you for being the best at what you do!! Admin - Savannah, Kristina, Marah & Chef Kevin - y’all got it going on! Thank you for being so communicative, organized, and sweet. If you’re looking for daycares in Rock Hill, you are extra lucky to be able to get in here!! ??”

“My daughter America has been attending for 3 years and the truth is that she really liked it. The teachers are very kind and she has learned a lot. They are patient with the children. I recommend them 100%.”

“For aspiring parents, Just enroll your kids without a second thought. Even if it’s afternoon that’s perfectly fine. You have to be here to understand what they are. You will appreciate your decision later on! Thank you so much IvyBrook for what you are! Family!❤️As a parent, I have learnt a lot from the staffs and the IvyBrook family!”

“My son absolutely loves coming to school with Ms. Casey and Ms Cristin’s class. They have great communication with families and the two year old class is the perfect balance of learning, social play and fun!”

“Absolutely love it at VMPS. We left another daycare after a bad experience and I couldn’t be happier that we decided on here. My son and daughter are thriving and I just wish I came here sooner for my 3 year old as she has already learned so much in less than a year here. My son loved the newborn class with Ms. Noemi and now he is thriving in the 1 year old class with Ms. Gina.”

“While in the process of relocating, my mother performed tours at several daycares throughout Charlotte. The first thing she told me after her visit to Dogwood was, "Every other place is fine but Dogwood isn't just a great daycare, it's a school." Our daughter (19 Mos.)has currently been attending Dogwood Lane for a year and her development has been leaps and bounds above what we could hope for. The level of care and attention to detail from everyone at DLCA is second to none. The owners are their daily to support the staff, the children and their families. The staff are not only focused on child development and safety but keep an open line of communication with us parents. I am truly grateful to DLCA for also going above and beyond during Covid. They have rolled out policies that are thoughtful and well communicated and not once have I felt that my daughter or my family is at risk under their care. Kudos to the entire DLCA team!”

“I enrolled my son to this daycare couple of months back, and all thanks to the teachers specially Miss Meritza to make his transition smoothly. He now looks forward to go to his daycare. Hes so welcomed, loved and encouraged there. That’s all I was looking for. Special thanks to Nicole for adjusting his needs.”

“MRS. STAR IS AMAZING!!! While attending a wedding reception I was overwhelmed with holding both my 3 year old AND 1 year old in my lap (of course they both had to have attention at the same time) Mrs. Star noticed me and asked "can I help you" I could have cried, right there... but I said "yes" instead. MRS. STAR WAS A GOD SEND!!!! She held, comforted and feed my 1 yar old that she had just meet as if she was her long lost Auntie. I had been struggling to commit to the idea of day care but after meeting Mrs STAR I knew I could trust Cabence Academy. We are looking to sign up asap.”

“My child has been attending this center for 2 years. We absolutely love them! It’s a relief to know your child feels comfortable, happy, and safe every day with his teachers while you are working. The staff all around is just great and makes you feel like family!”

“My wife has worked there for over 2 years and they have taken care of 2 of our children. They have always accommodated my wife when she needed time off and helped my son be ready for kindergarten. I would highly recommend taking your child there or working there yourself!!!”

“First time mom here and let’s just say this place made my life a little easier. The staff here are friendly and care deeply for each kid. After a week or two attending all staff knew my babygirl name and greeting her every morning. Staff seem as though the are close/family and cover down on classrooms when help is needed. I love the new kiosk check in/out system as it helps track time and person that picks up the child. For the most part the facility is clean but it is a childcare center so you have to be realistic. At the end of the day her teacher always provides a status of how her day went. We joined at the beginning of this year Jan1 2024 and we will probably be here until she starts school. Advice if you are Military or DOD federal employee start the military assistance program early as it can take sometime to get in the system. Thank you childcare network staff at location 099 for all that you do!”

“My daughter started at Kids R Kids a couple of months after she turned 2 years old. She didn’t like me leaving her, but I felt assured she was in good hands. The two teachers in the class took her under their wings. She got prepared for Pre-K and thankful to the staff at Kids R Kids. She is now 7 and attends after school. Charles and Jennifer have a passion for the children and I would highly recommend Kids R Kids to anyone looking for a place for your child to grow and obtain what they need all in a safe environment.”

“My child started around 9 months and now almost 2. We really love it here. With this being our first child, the school was quick to realize that she wasn't responding to certain sounds like she was supposed to. We were able to get her ears checked and got tubes put in her ears. She is always happy to go to school every morning! The teachers follow a really good curriculum, even for the smaller kids.”

“My child loves going here, the teachers and staff are excellent. Everyone is always polite and friendly. Best choice we ever made for our 3 year old, she loves her teachers.”

“I must say my son Makhai and I love this center. Mrs. Tiffany the director is amazing as well as Tonya who greets us in the morning with open arms. Jazz his Teacher is amazing! My son never been around kids his age until he started going here I was skeptical of how he would respond to the new environment and to my surprise he has come along way because of Mrs. Tiffany and her staff. I would recommend this center to anyone and yes this is a real review and no one asked me to do this this is a heartfelt review for other parents looking for a center for their child/Ren where they will be learning and make new friends!!”

“If you are looking for a daycare that treats you like family, then Carolina Academy is the place for your child! Both of my children attended there from the time they were around 1.5 all the way up to my oldest child attending their afterschool program. The teachers and administration are excellent and responsive to any questions or concerns you have. If there are any behavioral issues with your child, they work with you to develop a plan that can be reinforced at school and home. We will miss them but are so grateful for the love, care, and education that was provided to my children in their early years!”

“We absolutely love Tutor Time! Our child has learned so much. He sings his ABC's, can count, knows his colors, I'm constantly impressed by the quality of things he's learning. The teachers are amazing and so sweet (big shoutout to Jessica, Kaitlyn, Milly, Chasmine, Edna, and Shonda), you can tell they really love and care for the children. The director, Turina, is professional and readily available. I also love the new assistant director, Sonya, and we of course love Miss Pam!The app the school uses really give you peace of mind as well. You can check the cameras and see your child, the teachers also do a great job at posting photos and videos - these make my day!I can't say enough good things about Tutor Time, we are happy to have our child here!”

“Has been almost 2 years that my daughter is in here. And we are more than happy with our decision. The staff is so friendly and professional, they had always give the support my daughter needed to meet her goals. They always show a good disposition to talk to us about any issue related to my child. Thank you for everything you have done for us, my little one always goes happy to her daycare.”

“My husband and I highly recommend Childcare Network in Belmont. We absolutely adore the entire staff and they treated our daughter and son like they are one of their own. The warmth and care shown to every child stands out the most. Mrs. Amanda is an outstanding director. She is incredibly responsive and she always has her door open. If you are looking for exceptional care, dedicated and caring teachers, a place with high standards for safety, a superb curriculum and a nurturing environment then Childcare Network in Belmont is the right place for your child!”

“Such a great daycare! We love Mrs Jean and Ms Bel. Our daughter looks forward to going to preschool everyday and is always in a great mood when we pick her up, unlike the last daycare we had her in. Her teacher sends us updates and photos daily to keep us in the loop. It’s a wonderful safe place where kids thrive and we couldn’t recommend Little Einsteins more.”
