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 went to summer camp there a few years ago and it was a horrible experience. The classrooms…read moreare way too small for that many children. 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. Every day I picked him up and he was sitting alone in the corner. The staff was not very friendly or personable. Not the best experience. I've heard several similar stories from other people, as well. I've read its changed since my son went, so hopefully, that is true and they made some major changes.

I feel so fortunate that the Sweetgrass School opened right when I was ready to put my 10-month-old…read morein a day care program. As a first-time mom who was so nervous about the whole prospect, I was thrilled to find this locally owned and brand new daycare. We have been here since Halloween and I love watching the constant improvements being made. New art on the walls, fun toys, and all sorts of other things. I am a small business owner myself, so it's wonderful to see this small business flourish. The teachers have been fantastic from day one. And I love that when I pick her up they always share anecdotes from the day and they seem to definitely know my little one and her personality. They are attentive when I ask them to do something specific as far as food or bottles or anything else. My daughter has made her first little friends here and I can't wait to watch them all grow up together.

RUN if you care about the safety of your child. Lapetit…read moreGoose Creek is the absolute worst and is completely unsafe. 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

The school provides a safe, welcoming, and positive environment where students feel comfortable and supported.

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.

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!!

Pleasant location right off Coleman down from Shem Creek with plenty of parking in the strip mall it is located in. It made it easy to drop off our kid and be on our way and to pick her up as well. Inside of the Play Garden they have all sorts of cool things for the kiddies to do; from playing on slides, playing with toys, to crafts such as painting. The staff here is awesome. They were very nice and I salute them for their patience with 50 screaming kids running around. We look forward to using Play Garden again soon when we need that last minute sitter.

We LOVE CDC Park West. When we moved to Mount Pleasant in Dec 2024, our son joined the toddler…read moreroom. This is his third daycare in 3 years. We loved the two before this one BUT CDC is by far the best. The administration and leadership team are warm, welcoming, and so engaged. They know the kids and the families. At each interaction you can feel that they love what they do and they truly care. The staff are patient, kind, and invested in each student's happiness and growth. Beyond the curriculum, there are frequent events that involve families (muffins with mom, donuts with dad, holiday get togethers), and lots of great activities like music days, water days in the summer, stretch and grow, soccer, Spanish language learning (when students are a bit older). The facility is new, clean, and stunning including an indoor play area and age appropriate playgrounds outside. Most importantly, our son loves to go to CDC. He frequently talks about his teachers and friends when he's home and asks to go to school on the weekends (we try not to take offense lol). Couldn't recommend CDC more!

Overall bad experience. Kids were not really attended to. Havoc everywhere...little 1 year old…read morestanding on a chair playing with the light switches, another one eating play doe, and ours arranging furniture. She had a bump on her head which nobody even knew about. When I addressed all of the above, they put her in a less advanced classroom. I'm interested in my child advancing, not being dumbed down because I complain about the lack of supervision! I was told, "she will have more attention in a younger room." So rather than figuring out how to better staff the rooms, they just cram babies together. She was sick constantly! It was the first time she was sick ever at 14 mos thanks to this school. On a side note, when a mom came to pick up her kid, she asked the assistant director about the antibiotics the school was supposed to be timely administering . The assistant director said she "completely forgot!" The mom was so upset. I left within the first month. Horrible experience!
