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.

Make no mistake, you want your child at a daycare that looks like they do and I'm sure there are wonderful teachers and caretakers there... But their waitlist/enrollment practices, communications and overall management is one only tolerable in a severely low supply market. Save yourself the 2 years of waiting and being told " only 3 more months ". Lots of good locally owned and operated childcare options in Charleston if you do your due diligence, opposed to this corporation headquartered in Ohio.

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.

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.

When I first met Amy I was put at ease. Amy was very professional but also very sweet and kind to my kids. She asked all the questions I would want any babysitter to know the answer too. I felt that she was very knowledgeable with taking care of kids. I was bit scrambled and nervous leaving my kids with somebody new, but after going over everything and giving Amy a tour I felt that I had nothing to worry about. We also had a time issue in our plans, and things started running behind by about 15-30 mins. We called Amy and she had no issue with it whatsoever, she was very flexible. My kids are 2 years old and 4 month old twins. I would absolutely ask for Amy to come back and watch my kids.

I was terrified…read morebecause he had never been in a daycare before and I had been a stay at home mom, nervous to let anyone watch him because I knew no one would care for him like I do. I looked at a bunch of daycares where all the teachers seemed tired and miserable and lethargic. Some of them wouldn't even respond to me when I said hello. I've seen playgrounds with broken toys that could hurt the children. I've seen classrooms full of kids with snot all over their faces that led me to believe the teachers refused to wipe their noses and in turn giving way to a vicious cycle of sick children. Then I found the Sunshine House in Mount Pleasant. Everyone was warm and welcoming, the kids were happy, the toys were unbroken and age appropriate, and Ms. Jane Anne had a kid in her lap and was wiping his nose! My son who is very clingy was anxious to squirm out of my arms and play on the playground and I instantly felt that he would be safe and cared for here. It's not conveniently located for me, but it's worth the extra drive for a daycare that exceeded my expectations. They even provide free diapers and wipes as well as breakfast, lunch, and snack. They also have flexible schedules so I can gradually increase his time there until I find a job. So happy I found the sunshine house!
