If I could give zero stars, I would. This business should not be open to any children. There is a…read morereason why there is no waitlist. My son lasted one day there. The place is dirty, the teachers clearly do not like children and the director gaslights the parents. We saw things with our own eyes upon arrival and that was enough to remove our child from this place. We notified the director about the teacher's behavior and the director neglected to do anything or even acknowledge that the behavior was unacceptable to a preschool teacher. My child still has nightmares about that one day.

We are so happy with Daniel Island Academy. Having sent our 2 year old to two other daycares before…read moreDIA, we now understand why DIA is considered a "school" and not a daycare. Our daughter talks happily about her teachers daily, and loves to tell us about new games she and her friends have come up with. The teachers have helped our daughter learn how to sit at the table for community meals, listen attentively at story time, and learn to regulate her big feelings. DIA is a special place with a supportive faculty and engaged parent community. Highly recommend!

My daughter went there for 7 months (2007-2008) when she was 3 years old. Awesome school, the best…read morein the area (I looked at 3 other schools in Mount Pleasant, and DI topped them all). Lana liked it so much she still introduces herself as a "dolphin"! that was her class. The school is big, well equipped inside and outdoors, full of extra curriculum classes (you pay extra about $35-$45 per month) and overall the atmosphere is buzzing with a positive energy. Lana had young teachers. All very knowledgeable and great with kids. One downside they changed 3 times while she was there. You get reports every day. You can see the kids art creations posted on the walls next to each class. The school has lots of events and field trips (one every other week). One big plus for me was the fact the school cooks fresh, quality and nutritious food every day. They will accommodate health special needs. There was great deal of involvement from parents who are expected and highly encouraged to participate. We were meeting at least once a month (great chance to get out too and make new connections) to discuss activities for kids and ways to help the teachers. About tuition payments: The school is relatively expensive for South Carolina, close to $900 a month for 4-6 years old, but is well worth it. DI is one of the few NAEYC accredited schools in the state. The tuition needs to be paid 2 weeks in advance every other week. When you enroll you're also asked to pay for the last 2 weeks of the calendar year (i.e. you pay this year for June 2009) Bottom line Daniel Island Academy is an excellent pre-shool choice.

So i have been on a desperate hunt for a good and affordable daycare, today alone in a span of a…read morehour i have called maybe 30 daycares. I was about to give up for the day but then i saw this one on the list and called. First the guy who answered the phone (i suck at names so i dont remember his name) but he was very pleasant to talk to, extremely helpful, and very informative. Second, they are affordable, and offer different amount of days as well which was exactly what i was looking for. My son is not enrolled yet but after just that call, i am very certain i found the perfect daycare for my son. I usually dont leave reviews for anything but this deserved one. Honestly i am so excited to get him in!!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience there. My daughter began at Cadence when she…read morewas 7 weeks old, and has been there ever since.

However the owner has a bad attitude, will tell you how your kid isn't worth any extra help or effort to your face, and Is cold and not welcoming to children who aren't perfect. The teachers may be great, but with a cold hearted head running the place, that trickles down and affects your child. She has no problem treating a child like yesterday's trash and doesn't listen to progress reports from therapists or aids. I believe the exact word used by a worker for the county was "discrimination."

I can honestly say that I've been very pleased with the school, their curriculum, and the teachers/administrative staff. They offer extra-curricular activities (such as Soccer Shots, dance, Go Play, etc.) that really helps to break up the child's (sometimes long) day. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to put their child in a program - this is not a day care (in my opinion), it's a school that teaches kids to learn while having a blast!

My kid had a very bad incident at this daycare while teachers were distracted changing another child's diaper on a changing table. During this time, my child was unsupervised. The director Afton later called me and fabricated an incident report. Thankfully, a teacher reached out to me privately after hearing the false story and told me what actually happened, confirming the director's account was untrue. This facility is extremely understaffed, poorly supervised, and dishonest when serious incidents occur. While some of the teachers genuinely care, the director is a liar, and that alone makes this place unsafe. If you want your child in a safe, well-supervised environment, rethink enrolling them here

To the parents that are overwhelmed with the daycare choices in Mount Pleasant, Chesterbrook is by…read morefar the best choice I have made for my daughter. I am a teacher for CCSD and have experience at other daycares in the area, none compare to Chesterbrook! Ms. Tiffany is a principal that truly cares for every child that walks in the door and knows how to run a school for the well-being of children. She is frequently in the various classrooms helping where she can, setting a visible standard for all teachers and can aid in tantrum/boundaries like a pro. It is obvious she is knowledgeable in childhood development and knows that doing HER job of supporting the teachers, will allow them to be the best they can be for our kids. This then leads me to say that the teachers at this school are also outstanding! If you want your toddler to be able learn age-appropriate boundaries but still have an environment where adults show grace, teach coping skills and allow kids to explore, then this is your daycare. My daughter comes home covered in dirt and paint but has also learned to wait her turn, say "excuse me" to adults, share with peers and now has the social emotional skills to calm herself down in a tantrum. I owe it all to the LOVE, the PATIENCE and the EVIDENCE-BASED educational skills this school enforces!

My son literally cried and physically pulled away from me every time I dropped him off. The teacher was cold and not comforting to my son who was crying and obviously upset.
