WARNING our daughter went to Kids Garden for just 3 days. The first day she came home saying "bad…read moreboy hit me in the head" the teacher had to intervene, apparently. I didn't find all this until we called in. No one bothered to tell us when we picked her up. The 2nd day went just fine. But on the 3rd day my daughter let out a yelp when I was taking her shoes off after we got home. I asked her what was wrong and she said "bad boy kicked me" after a closer look she had a decent size bruise on her leg! Again no one told us anything when we picked our daughter. So we asked why we were not informed again, and if we could review the video footage. Their response was to terminate our daughter from the program, wasting our time and money. This day care sweeps issues under the rug in hopes that Kids don't tell their parents. And G-D forgive those that just want to see what happened to make sure their kid is really in a safe environment!

A friend referred us to her after her wonderful experience with Christine teaching her own children. Christine is very kind and considerate. With such a pleasant demeanor and patience that could outlast the Pyramids of Giza. Her reliability is as sure as the coming dawn. If the saying holds true that cleanliness is next to godliness then my child spends his days on Mt. Olympus. She is definitely a person I would refer to anyone that I know, because she throws her whole mind, body, and spirit into the lessons and love she gives all her children. Without a doubt our son feels just as much at home with her, as do her own children. Our son's eyes light up to see her every day. He has learned so much from her, from drawing houses to moral values. She doesn't just watch our son, she teaches him. At three, he knows colors, ABC's, counting, and loves to read books. Some books he has even memorized from reading them so much. We will truly miss Christine loving and teaching our son when he goes off to school soon. She is a fabulous person and I am so grateful for the time we've had and cherish every moment she has spent with our son.

As a newly divorced single mother and a full‑time college student, finding a childcare center that…read moretruly supports both my son, and our family has meant more than I can express. My four‑year‑old has attended The Sunshine House on Decker Boulevard for nearly two years, and I know I will be genuinely emotional when he transitions to kindergarten. This center has been a constant source of stability, compassion, and growth for him. From his very first teachers, Ms. Ashley and Mr. Cam, to every staff member we encounter, we are always greeted with warmth and genuine smiles. My son adores you all Including his new teachers Ms. C and Ms. Shay and is already excited to invite you to his fifth birthday celebration in August. The recent improvements under the leadership of Director Ms. Lakeesha Watkins with Assistant Director Ms. Kierra Hunter have elevated the environment even further. Their professionalism, patience, and dedication are evident in every interaction. They create a space where children are not only cared for but truly valued. The hugs, the encouragement, and the intentional attention each child receives show that this is more than a daycare--it is a community. I was initially worried that my son's behavioral challenges and delayed potty training might lead to him being dismissed, but instead, I was met with grace, understanding, and unwavering support. Within months, he was fully potty trained, and his behavior improved significantly. One moment that stayed with me was when Director Keesha reminded me that if adults desire grace, children deserve the same--because they are people too. That philosophy is lived out daily in this center. The Sunshine House has been a blessing to our family, and I am deeply grateful for the kindness, patience, and professionalism shown to us. I wholeheartedly recommend this location to any parent seeking a nurturing, supportive, and truly child‑centered environment. L-Anderson

I've been a YMCA member for over 10 years in Honolulu (where I live). Since I'm a nationwide…read moremember, it affords be the opportunity to visit any YMCA nationwide without an additional fee, which make the cost of membership an excellent value. This also works out well for my family and I as we do a fair amount of traveling, both abroad and to the mainland. This YMCA location is great if you are staying in the Lake Carolina area of Blythwood. It's a bit off the beaten path, but it is an absolutely pristine facility. Since I swim for exercise, having a pool available when we travel is always a plus. The lap swim times and lane availability was plentiful. They also offer both a sauna and steam room (at least in the men's locker room), which makes for a nice lactic acid release after a great swim. If I were to move back to the Columbia area (I wish), I would strongly consider a home in this area and take advantage of their facilities daily.

I am new to the state so wanted to join something to get active and social. I utilized the New Year…read morespecial they were advertising. I was given a tour and daily schedule before signing up. It's very convenient to my house so that was a plus. This week I decided to try out different classes every day. I found a few I really liked and will make them routine as my schedule permits. Everyone I met was so friendly and welcomed me to the area. I look forward to getting my son involved in the sporting programs come this spring. I wish the child watch registration was on the app. It's an inconvenience to utilize the app for some things but not other things. Highly recommend to register a spot as walk ins may not be available. The child watch is very different from where we came from. The children were separated by age in Clt and each night they had age appropriate activities. I think it's a bit overwhelming to have babies, toddlers and school aged children all in one little space. It gets hectic and unfortunately my son is uncomfortable. I know my son and I think it's just took much going on. It could also use a good cleaning in my opinion . The facility is nice walking in as far as the gym , pool and fitness areas. One major downside for me are the bathrooms and locker rooms. They just look old and dirty. I went to several in the building and felt the same. For the price of a membership, they should be able to do some renovations to those essential areas. I will see how the next few months go before I decide to continue our membership however the bathrooms are a major issue for me.

They charged $9 per person if you're skating so I paid $27 for 3 kids. We got the kids skates and they do charge $5 per bar if the kids need it to help them stand and skate. They had fun music , kids were having a blast. They also have a play area in the back as well for kids who don't want to skate or taking a break from skating. I also got a large pizza and pitcher of juice for the kids and altogether that costs me $27 as well. Overall it wasn't bad pricing for the amount of kids we fed lol. This was the first time my daughter skated without the bar and she fell A LOT lol but I was so proud of her for getting up and keep going. We had a great night. Definitely will be back.

Our baby took to Ms. Amy right away, and they've been besties ever since. Ms. Amy is attentive, considerate, kind, accommodating, excellent with my breast milk and with paced feedings, and she has worked with us at our pace for incorporating solid foods into our baby's diet. She has a safe and loving home and really makes you feel like family. She gives a clear sense of her schedule and always gives us as much notice as she possibly can for closures and shortened hours. She follows the Richland 1 school schedule for the most part. She is also attentive to infection control concerns and does her best to avoid illnesses spreading. She often checks in on us after hours and is happy to give baby advice from her own years of experience. Her children are also extremely helpful, and her daughter babysits herself. We are pleased to be a Lush Cove family, and we hope to keep our baby here for the foreseeable future.

They genuinely care about who you are and they get to know you. They help you out in any way they can. They are attentive to the children in every room and they give each child individual care, attention, compassion and love. They work with the Two year olds with their potty training which is a big help. I love Ms. E, Ms. Jasmin, Ms. Alexis and Gloria. Tori and all the other teachers are great too. It's nice to have peace of mind, being a single mother, that these people genuinely know, love and care for my baby. It's just the two of us, but now we have a family here.
