Palmetto Children’s Academy

Our 2-year-old has been in the toddler class for 6 months. He’s learning new words every week and loves the structured playtime. Drop off is smooth because the staff always… read more greet him by name. Tuition is fair for the quality of care.

Both my daughters went here. My mind was at peace knowing that they were in a caring, loving, and patient environment. All the Teachers there absolutely amazing. The 4k program… read more teacher goes above and beyond with getting your kiddo ready for Kindergarten. They are the ABSOLUTE BEST!

My wife and I had our youngest son at PCA for about 2.5 years and could not have been happier. You can tell that everyone there truly cares for… read more the children and wants the best for them. Ms. Kim is the director and is great to work with. Ms. Kodi was our last pre-k teacher and was fantastic. It’s rare to see someone as patient and loving as she was with all the kids. I would not hesitate to go back or recommend to friends or family.

PCA has been the absolute best daycare for my daughter. She loves coming to school and learning every day. Daycare drop off had always been so difficult before PCA, but… read more it has finally been easy here because my daughter knows she’s loved and cared for. All of the teachers are so helpful and caring. The owner, Ms. Kim, is always present and always helping. She knows when a child needs some extra love and always has hugs to give. Mrs. Kodi teaches 4K and has been the best teacher we could ask for! Our daughter has learned so much and is already reading and writing before kindergarten! Mrs. Kodi is always warm and inviting and makes learning fun! We’re so thankful we found PCA and it has made all the difference for us!

My wife and I checked out several other preschools in Fort Mill where we live and just couldn’t find the right fit for our 4yo son. My wife searched Google… read more and from other good reviews she did a tour with our 2 kids. All 3 of them loved the school and staff so much that my wife enrolled our son right then and there. He’s been attending now with Mrs Kodi for the 4k class the last week and loves it, almost as much as he loves dinosaurs.
Thanks PCA and Kim (owner) for creating a loving, safe and fun school for children.

I toured 9 other preschools before settling on Palmetto Children’s Academy in Rock Hill for my 4yo son. It wasn’t that the other schools were bad or anything but none… read more of them brought me a sense of relief or comfort like PCA did when I walked into the lobby.
Even my 8yo daughter who tagged along for the tour commented as we entered inside how much she wish her preschool had a large play area like PCA does.
Both of my kids, as well as myself, liked how simple but cute the wall murals are throughout the school.
I love that the kids all gather together in a larger room at the front when they have their (included with tuition) morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack.
They use a great curriculum which besides teaches the children reading etc, its also focused on instilling values like kindness, compassion, empathy and more.
My son always comes home telling me about story time and playing outside and what he did with his new friends he has made there.
I cannot stress how much I love the staff!! Kim, the director has over 30 years experience of owning and managing her own early development program. My son’s teacher, Miss (Mrs/Ms?) Kodi is so sweet and thorough. She has over 15 years experience if I’m remembering correctly as an early childrens educator.
The school utilizes fingerprint entry for the parents, cameras as well as secured doors to keep all the munchkins safe.
The staff communicates with the families via an app that’s easy to use, free and secure. Miss Kodi as well as Kim are great about updating through the app regularly if not daily.
Kim really loves what she does. It truly shows in how the children run to her for hugs, how she greets each parent, siblings of students etc by name and more.
I am so happy I kept searching for “the one”. I’ve been a stay-at-home-mama for over 8 years now and had anxiety about sending my baby to school, but Kim, Kodi and everyone else at PCA have brought me so much peace and calm about this new transition for not only my son but myself as well.

I started my son at PCA when he was 3 months — anyone who’s done it knows how difficult/emotional that can be! Ms. Kim (executive director) made a point of… read more being there on our first day to make the transition smoother, and he has now been going for 3 months. Ms. Kathy and Ms. Jennifer are his teachers and they give me so much comfort, my son loves them and I can breathe easier knowing that he has responsive and caring teachers during the day. They text me to check in with pictures of my son throughout the week (which I love!!) and are easy to talk to when it comes to making changes to my son’s schedule.

Being a working parent is hard, but knowing my son is genuinely cared for at daycare gives me so much peace of mind.

PCA has been a blessing, the kids you see and all of there different stories that they have would melt your heart. Everyone that walks through those doors knows that… read more they are loved and cared for by every single teacher along with the Director here at PCA. We do all different kinds of things that help support your kids, we have sensory bins, we help them feel there emotions along with feelings, numbers, shapes,days of the week and potty training plus many more! We love to welcome your kids here at PCA and grow together!!

Looked at multiple daycares and was happiest with this one. Such a kind staff and the staff makes my 5 month old so happy. He smiles every day at drop… read more off. They are excellent at communicating.

My two boys have been attending Palmetto Children’s Academy for a few months now and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! My oldest child was previously in a different… read more daycare and hated going but here, he walks right in, no tears or pacifier needed, running straight to his teacher to hug her! The staff is compassionate and patient and truly love investing in your children! There infant classrooms are always clean and I’ve not had one issue out of my youngest! My children are excited to go and learn! I highly recommend this facility!

Both of my children went to PCA. My daughter started around 2 and my son was 12 weeks. They went all the way through the 4K program. Both kids are… read more extremely different in regards to focus and activity levels. The teachers were able to help with both socially and academically! Both kids learned so much during their time at PCA and had exceptional teachers! I would recommend to anyone looking into full time daycare/preK setting.

My grandson has thrived at PCA. He’s safe, happy, and loved and is growing in every way. Everyone there is dedicated to doing what’s best for the children.… read more As a grandmother and former teacher, that’s as good as it gets.

Have the best experience ever with my daughter going here. She’s like a whole completely different person from another daycare we had her in. This daycare is such a wonderful… read more place to have your children ❤️

PCA has been a part of our family for over 8 years. We fully entrusted the care of both of our children over the years. We have referred several friends… read more and continue to be a part of the PCA family. Not only were our kids safe and loved on, they were fully reading before kindergarten!

I absolutely love this daycare!!! My daughter has opened up so much since attending! The teachers are amazing and Ms. Kimmie the director is the best!!! You can tell that… read more they really care about the kids here and the prices aren’t bad either. Please look into them if you are seeking care, you won’t be disappointed!

My youngest just graduated from Palmetto Children’s Academy & we were so sad to leave! We have had a child at PCA for 8+ yrs & everyone has become like… read more our family! Mrs. Kodi works diligently with the 4k class to get them ready for Kindergarten with academics, as well as instilling character traits needed for their age. As a working mom, I always felt confident my kids were getting the best care while at PCA. I can’t speak highly enough about Palmetto Children’s Academy or the 4K program! They are the best & Mrs. Kodi is beyond amazing.

My daughter is 3 and has been coming here since she was 1 and half. I have seen he change dramatically. When we started she was crying and no verbal.… read more Since being here she talks and Loves to go see friends. She enjoys being with them and the staff love on her. She loves the food they cook and Ms. Kimmie. I thank PCA for teaching and loving on my baby girl. She is my only child that has attended public daycare and the experience has been amazing. I don’t live as close as I use to and I still drive out the way to bring her here. It’s worth the drive.

The staff at PCA truly care about each child’s development. They create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a second home. Our child has blossomed here, thanks to the… read more loving care and individual attention they receive every day. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to balance learning and play. We’ve been amazed at how much our child has learned, from basic social skills to early academics. The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, ensuring that every day is filled with new discoveries. Overall, we can’t recommend PCA highly enough. It’s not just a preschool; it’s a place where children thrive, grow, and form lifelong friendships. If you’re looking for a preschool that feels like family, look no further than PCA.

My daughter attended PCA for two years (birthday was past cut off date for kindergarten) and we LOVED it. At her previous daycare, my daughter would give me such… read more a hard time going to daycare, wasn’t learning anything, and I had concerns about how the staff were treating/caring for the children. When she started PCA, she was in Mrs Kodi’s class. I never worried that my child was well taken care of by Mrs Kodi or any of the staff. The communication there is great. She learned a tremendous amount during her time in Mrs Kodi’s pre-k class. PCA uses the abeka curriculum. She learned classroom etiquette, cooperative play, how to read/write and so much more. She developed a love for learning. She even used to pretend to be mrs Kodi, teaching her “class” at home. I have no doubt my daughter is ready for kindergarten and a huge reason for that is Mrs Kodi. Mrs Kodi is an amazing teacher and childcare provider. I would recommend Mrs kodi and PCA to anyone looking for a pre-k program / phenomenal childcare setting.

Palmetto Children’s Academy has surpassed all our expectations! My granddaughter has been in attendance for 9 months. The facility is ALWAYS organized, ODOR FREE and CLEAN which is a big… read more take away for me! The care and attention given to each child is outstanding, creating a safe and loving environment. They offer a holistic approach to child development. The ABeka curriculum is Christian based and engaging, providing my granddaughter with an excellent Christian and educational foundation. My granddaughter learns something new everyday. The staff communicates effectively and efficiently with parents. They also offer music therapy program which has been both enjoyable and beneficial for our child’s development. The small class sizes ensure personalized attention and foster a close sense of family community. The teachers are loving and highly certified. We are thrilled with our selection and the progress and joy my granddaughter experiences here and highly recommend this daycare to any parent.❤️

Love this place. We’ve had 2 kids go through the 4k program with amazing results and fully prepared for kindergarten highly recommend!

PCA has been wonderful for both of my babies since 2018. They treat every child like their own. The love and support we got over the years has been so… read more reassuring. When my daughter went to kindergarten she could already read and scored so high on her map scores. I was very impressed with Kodi Dawson and her 4K program. My daughter was not only ready but excelling. When it was my sons turn to go into 4K, we opted to keep him at PCA instead of enrolling him into the free program at our local elementary school. This decision was not made lightly but paid off in the end. My son just graduated and is ready for K5! I couldn’t be more thankful for our family at PCA!!!

One of the best daycare/schools around! The teachers are absolutely amazing. They all are very passionate and so kind to all of the kids. My daughter has been… read more going here since 2021 and loves ALL of the teachers. I will always highly recommend PCA!
