The small group sizes allowed for a lot of individual attention. My child's SAT score improved and he gained confidence and learned valuable strategies and tips for taking the SAT. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for effective SAT prep and a supportive learning environment.

I have enjoyed visiting this school many times to speak to students and be a part of different events on campus and I have been impressed every time by the level of quality of the students. I really like the open feel and layout of the campus and all the space the school has to offer. I also like the energy and vibe of the students at this school as you can feel all of the creativity running through the halls when school is in session. Every time I come here I always seem to learn something too and I always leaved inspired. This school is well run and I look forward to being able to return again in the future to help out.

We are so happy with Daniel Island Academy. Having sent our 2 year old to two other daycares before…read moreDIA, we now understand why DIA is considered a "school" and not a daycare. Our daughter talks happily about her teachers daily, and loves to tell us about new games she and her friends have come up with. The teachers have helped our daughter learn how to sit at the table for community meals, listen attentively at story time, and learn to regulate her big feelings. DIA is a special place with a supportive faculty and engaged parent community. Highly recommend!

My daughter went there for 7 months (2007-2008) when she was 3 years old. Awesome school, the best…read morein the area (I looked at 3 other schools in Mount Pleasant, and DI topped them all). Lana liked it so much she still introduces herself as a "dolphin"! that was her class. The school is big, well equipped inside and outdoors, full of extra curriculum classes (you pay extra about $35-$45 per month) and overall the atmosphere is buzzing with a positive energy. Lana had young teachers. All very knowledgeable and great with kids. One downside they changed 3 times while she was there. You get reports every day. You can see the kids art creations posted on the walls next to each class. The school has lots of events and field trips (one every other week). One big plus for me was the fact the school cooks fresh, quality and nutritious food every day. They will accommodate health special needs. There was great deal of involvement from parents who are expected and highly encouraged to participate. We were meeting at least once a month (great chance to get out too and make new connections) to discuss activities for kids and ways to help the teachers. About tuition payments: The school is relatively expensive for South Carolina, close to $900 a month for 4-6 years old, but is well worth it. DI is one of the few NAEYC accredited schools in the state. The tuition needs to be paid 2 weeks in advance every other week. When you enroll you're also asked to pay for the last 2 weeks of the calendar year (i.e. you pay this year for June 2009) Bottom line Daniel Island Academy is an excellent pre-shool choice.

Please be cautious before trusting St Luke's Children's Center w/ your kids…read more My daughter attended St Luke's CC. She had behavior issues. One morning, after a long, difficult struggle, we decided to spank her. Because I stupidly believed their whole "working together" pitch, I mentioned to her St Luke's teacher that I had spanked our daughter. WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD, they waited til I left, photographed my daughter's back side (no marks), and called the cops! DSS got involved and - that same day - told me I'd done nothing wrong. A DSS management-level person asked to meet with me and told me DSS had similar "over-reactions" from St Luke's Childrens Center. She asked me to keep her statement between me and her, then she suggested I switch preschools. DSS closed the incident that same day. Several teachers at St. Luke's also suggested I change pre-schools - requesting anonymity bc they feared losing their jobs. I went to the preschool director and politely asked what in the world she was thinking when she called the cops. She bobbed and weaved, but essentially admitted her motivation was that she disagreed with corporeal punishment, even though it's legal in this state. I had to request my meeting with the Children's Center director. None of the church leaders reached out to me during any of part of this. I got my daughter out of St. Luke's as quietly as possible, not wanting to make waves that would scar her further. But this incident hurt her at the time and hurt our family, our trust in church, our trust in God... I have waited a considerable time to post this review because I don't want anyone who spoke to me on condition of privacy to get any blow-back. I looked at their website, it appears the St. Lukes CC director at the time this happened is gone, as are sonof the teachers. In retrospect, I think the director at the time and a cliche of teachers put their desire to be social engineers ahead of the best interest of my daughter. I don't even like to drive past St. Luke's. I would never recommend St. Luke's Childrens Center to anyone. ******* Seven months since I posted this review. Notice there has been ZERO response from anyone at St. Luke's. Not surprising. They can't openly say who they are or what they stand for. When called out on their actual motivations, they can only hunker down in silence. Not people you want shaping your child's character.

St. Timothy's Children's Center is located in the St. Timothy's Lutheran Church in Goose Creek…read more It's a mighty fine preschool that our daughter started the beginning of this month and we are very please so far. The teachers and staff here have been great to us and our daughter, she has made some new friends and is learning to socialize with other children. The pricing is great, a little below average pricing for preschools in the area. I guess my only gripe is the preschool meets 8am til 12pm; I would rather school start at 7:30 and go all day so it didn't interfere with my work schedule. But I do understand that's how most preschools are and we are lucky and happy to have found St. Timothy's.
