Find the Right School for Your Family

Every family deserves a school they can trust close to home, and finding it shouldn't feel like a research project.

Neighborhood Schools with a Strong Foundation

Our schools carry the names their communities already know, and behind each one stands the strength of a larger family: shared safety practices, one approach to learning, and real support for teachers. Local warmth, bigger backing, and you feel both from the first visit.

Getting Started is Simple

From first look to first day, here's the path most families take.

Find Your School

Start with our school finder to see the schools near your home or work, the programs each offers, and the ages they serve. Most families discover there's a school closer than they realized.

Schedule a Tour

Pick a day and come see it for yourself: classrooms in motion, teachers at work, and a director ready for your questions. Bring your child along, their reaction is part of the answer.

Meet Your School's Team

Sit down with your director for the practical details, tuition, availability for your child's age, start dates, while getting to know the people who'd care for your child every day.

Enroll at Your School

When you're ready, your school's team guides you through every form and detail. Enrollment is year-round as space allows. From there, all that's left is picking a first day.

OUR STANDARDS

Licensed, Vetted, & Held to More

Every school in our family is licensed in its state, with real standards for safety, ratios, and daily operations behind that license. Many of our schools go further, holding additional accreditations and taking part in recognized quality programs. Ask your school which apply, or see what stands behind the name on the door.

What You'll Find Inside

The things families ask about most, and where to dig deeper.

Health and Safety

Meals and Nutrition

How mealtimes work, from menus to allergies, and why the table is a classroom too.

Our Teachers

Screened, trained, and there for the moments that matter. Meet the people behind the day.

Why Our Families Trust Us

Kristen Mcintire
Millennium Academy
"As a parent, leaving your children in someone else’s care can be difficult, especially when they are so little. Our School has always given us peace of mind knowing that our children are safe, loved, cared for, and treated like family. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the children and their well-being, and it shows in the way they interact with them every day. We have watched our children grow, learn, become more independent, and build relationships with their teachers and friends. I am so thankful for the wonderful memories and experiences they have given both of my children. Choosing childcare is such an important decision, and I would recommend Millennium Academy to any parent looking for a place where their child will be genuinely cared for and loved. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing daycare for our family!”
Elizabeth P.
5 Star Childcare Learning Center
"I am grateful I have found this amazing daycare for my child. After I toured a few others, this is the only one that caught my eye. Everyone else rushed through the tours, did not seem enthusiastic, some were not very organized, and some classes seemed too crowded which did not seem very safe. I also never heard back from them for follow ups on enrollment. After looking online for some other options, I came across 5 Star, hoping that it would not be like these others. I was glad I reached out. Ms. Nicole called me within minutes to schedule a tour on that very same day which was so convenient for me. Throughout the tour Ms. Nicole answered my questions and explained everything thoroughly in great detail. After my tour I immediately decided this is where my daughter will be going to pre-k. I’m so glad I did. Every day the first question I ask her is how was her day. Everyday is a good day for her and she tells me about all the fun stuff she gets to do. I want to thank the staff for constantly keeping me up to date with videos and pictures of their daily activities. Had I known about this daycare earlier, I would have enrolled my daughter years ago."
Tiffany Hill
Redding's Kids Academy
“I’m so grateful for Redding Kids Academy! As a parent, one of the most important things for me is knowing that my children are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away from me. I truly feel comfortable leaving them in their care, and that peace of mind means so much. One of the best signs is seeing how happy my infant is when I drop her off and how happy she is when I pick her up. Though she can’t speak yet, that speak VOLUMES to me. Knowing my two children enjoy being there and feel comfortable with their teachers reassures me that they’re in a positive and nurturing environment.Thank you to all of the staff & the director Michelle for the love, patience, communication, and care you show my children every day. I appreciate everything you do and feel blessed to have found a place where my children are genuinely happy and I can feel confident leaving them."
Brittany Yates
Little Tigers Academy
"Everyone at LTA is amazing. We (my daughter) have been attending LTA since we were 6 weeks old. She's just over 5 months now. The teachers show her so much love. I can tell they absolutely love everything they do. I highly recommend Little Tigers to anyone who asks. Keke came in however many months ago and the whole vibe of the place is just great. I love seeing people who love their jobs and what they do. Angel, Jessica, Bri and Gabbie have all been such blessings. If our little family ever grows again, you can bet our little will absolutely be here. We are so thankful we chose Little Tigers!"
Heather Phillips
Funfield Learning Cottage
"I absolutely love Funfield! The staff are truly amazing at what they do, and you can tell that they genuinely care about each child. They are personable, attentive, and make you feel like your child is more than just another kid in their care. My son is happy every single time I drop him off, and that means the world to me as a parent. Knowing that he is loved, cared for, and treated like one of their own gives me such peace of mind. Funfield doesn’t just provide childcare—they create a loving, caring environment where the kids can feel safe, happy, and supported all while learning. I couldn’t recommend them enough! I really could not do it without this village. I appreciate each and every single person there."
Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

What ages do your schools serve?

Our schools care for children from 6 weeks through school age, infants, toddlers, preschool, Pre-K, and before- and after-school care for older siblings. Programs vary by school, so check your nearest school's offerings or ask their director what's available for your child's age.

A real look at a real day: classrooms in action, teachers doing what they do, and time with the director to ask anything. Bring your child if you'd like, watching how they take to the space tells you a lot. There's no pressure attached, just a chance to see if it feels right.

Tuition varies by school, program, and schedule, so your local school is the right source for current rates. They'll also walk you through anything that may lower your cost, from state programs like free VPK and Georgia Pre-K to the South Carolina Child Care Scholarship, where offered.

Earlier than most families expect, especially for infant care, where spaces are limited everywhere and expecting parents often tour before their baby arrives. For preschool and Pre-K, a few months ahead is typical. That said, families' plans change fast and openings do too, so it's never too late to ask.

Ask to join the waitlist. Classrooms turn over naturally as children grow into their next age group, so spots open throughout the year, and waitlists often move faster than families expect. And since we're a family of schools, there may be a sister school nearby with space now, same approach, same standards, so your child can start there and move over if a spot opens at your first choice. Your director can help you look at both options.
