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 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. 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 going here since 2021 and loves ALL of the teachers. I will always highly recommend PCA!
I started taking my little one to Palmetto Children's Academy a little over a year ago. They have been absolutely amazing with her! She is 3 and knows how to count to ten, has started identifying colors and sing her ABC's among many other things. Not only do they take really good care of the little ones but the teach them so much which has been amazing! I highly highly recommend them!!
Palmetto Children’s Academy is great! My daughter has been going here for about 8 months and she is truly thriving. They offer a great curriculum, healthy meals and snacks, and a safe environment. If you are looking for great childcare this is the place for you and your kiddos!
My son has attended PCA since 2021, and we’ve been happy from the very first day. All of the teachers have shown him love and attention all while nurturing his cognitive development. He just turned 5 and will be entering Kindergarten in August already reading and writing! My husband and I also love that PCA has taught our son about God’s love through their Christian-based curriculum. Communication is strong, and we get daily updates on behavior (which I love). Our youngest will be starting next month, and we can’t wait to see how he flourishes!
We have had both our kids through this school & they absolutely loved their time with some of the best teachers in Pre-K!! They were ahead of the kindergarten class by far & are so loved for by everyone at this school. Highly recommend PCA!!
Ms Kim runs an amazing school. And everyone working there is amazing. Passionate, loving, knowledgeable, great communication. Such a welcoming community that makes you feel supported! Definitely recommend!!
I recommend Palmetto to anyone. They are transparent, kind, safe, and trustworthy. In today's world parents have enough on their plate and on their mind. Kim and the teachers put an ease to that knowing your little one will be well taken care of. You can always reach them and they are very open with communication. You can use an app to stay in the know of events and activities and having Venmo as an acceptable form of payment is great for new age parents seeing that Venmo is completely secure. Having the daily reports are also great to know what they did through the day. They help make and maintain schedules and they treat you truly like family. Thanks to everyone for everything you do.
I am very pleased with Palmetto Children’s Academy. My kids have been going there since 2019. My daughter was well prepared for 5k and learned so much. I can’t say anything negative and the teachers and administrators. They are awesome and would highly recommend them!
Both of our girls attend PCA and have since 2021. They are like family. Our girls never want to go home! Each teacher has taken such great care of the girls. My big girl just graduated from 4K and she is definitely well prepared for grade school. Ms Kodi is wonderful!Even when we have faced an issue Ms Kim addresses it in such a professional way and makes it right. I can’t say enough good things about PCA.
We bring both our babies(2yrs & 8months) to PCA, and we couldn’t be happier with the way they are taken care of. The staff is passionate, understanding, and it always feels like a family when we come through the door. Knowing we’re leaving our babies with great people each day is a real breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a daycare to check them out 🙂
I went here when I was younger and I loved it everyday. I definitely recommend
We were so lucky to have stumbled upon this wonderful place! I can’t rave about it enough. My 3 year old and 9 month old love it here so much. I never worry that they aren’t being well taken care of. The teachers are wonderful and my son comes home telling me about things he’s learning all the time. It is so clean and well kept. Ms. Kim is amazing and keeps me updated on how my kids are doing. We highly recommend!!
Very clean environment. Passionate teachers! Always see smiles and my baby is getting adjusted to daycare and seems to be love it already. Only been with PCA a few weeks but looking forward to great times ahead.
Our toddler entered daycare for the first time in May-we couldn’t be more thrilled and spoiled with PCA being our first experience with daycare. Ms Kim is extremely passionate about her school and all the interworking parts. The building is always clean and full of smiling children AND teachers (which is a great testimony to the environment)Each teacher we’ve interacted with has gone above and beyond with compassion, energy and enthusiasm. Our son is mostly with Ms Deja and she is PHENOMENAL. Kind, fun, smart and patient-she’s everything you could hope for in someone spending such quality time with your children. She’s got great instincts and communication.Hands down, we have nothing but positive things to say about PCA.
Started my youngest here, and while it is just his first week, I can tell he likes it a lot...so do I.He is already going right from my arms to his teachers arms in the morning.... NO TEARS.He is young but already talking about teachers by name and on the drive home, songs etc.He's only been at one other facility so I was worried he wouldn't transition well...it's been so great!Communication has been great, I (and he) loves the playground (very spacious with lots for kids to do... no more fighting over slide or toys) and he especially loves seeing the trains.The rooms are big and don't be fooled by the drab brick outside.... go inside and see all the space and light and wonderful things for the kids to do.So relieved and happy...
My two children went to PCA for 3 years, until we relocated to the west coast. Both my kids loved each and every teacher they had. You can tell the staff and the owner are in it for the children! The structure in the classrooms and the curriculum are outstanding! The preschool program had my 5 year old we'll prepared for kindergarten. It was very hard to find comparable preschool/daycare facility where we relocated to.
PCA is by far one of the best in Rock Hill!! I loved every minute of my sons time there and I cannot wait to see what is in store for this wonderful school next. My son was fully prepared for Kindergarten, but I wanted him to stay at PCA! They truly love what they do, and they love the children even more! Thank you so much!!!
Recently started my 7 month old son there after researching many facilities. It felt like the right place- good people, christian based, educational, etc. He loves the ladies in the infant room. Everyone knows him when we walk in the door. They do a great job of keeping me updated on what he did that day and what he needs. Kim seems to know every child that walks in the door! Couldn't be happier!
PCA is a wonderful daycare and preschool. My son is in the 4k class and I can't say enough about how wonderful the program is. The entire staff is very friendly and their dedication to the children is evident from the moment you walk through the door.
Both the level of education and the life skills my son is developing are impressive. Thank You PCA!
