Coastal Academy - North Charleston

Coastal Academy is a very special school! My son started going there when he was 10 months old and I felt so cared for during that time, which was a huge transition for us. It is a small school which I think makes a big difference - every teacher knows all of the students and they all take care of one another. It feels more like a family! Kids learn a ton, have fun, and develop important behaviors early. For example, it is so cute to watch them eat lunch together when they are only 1 years old and greet their classmates when they get there every morning! The school has also undergone some new updates in the lobby, classrooms and playgrounds. Teachers and staff update super regularly via the app so you always know what is going on with your baby, including lots of pictures! Definitely a great place, we will always be glad that our son started his learning journey here. <3

My daughter has been going there for almost a year and we love it! She’s learned a lot and the staff loves her as well as she loves them! Communication is great! Thank you to all of the teachers that take care of my baby!

We started at Coastal Academy in September 2023 and have been really happy with our experience for my kiddo. They have been accommodating and kind as we transitioned from him being home with me full time to being in daycare. I've really appreciated the updates and pictures I receive throughout the day. They've also offered fun events that have allowed us to meet the teachers and other families at the school.

The teachers go above and beyond to teach and love all their students. I know my son is in good hands. He started as an infant at 10 weeks, and he is almost 19 months. The teachers and director communicate well and they have an awesome app for communication. They document their daily tasks such as bathroom/diapers, meals, playtime, learning objectives, and pictures. 10/10 would recommend.

This daycare is absolute garbage. It looks nice and the people that work there seem friendly enough, but not without having its problems. They lie a lot and give them the chance and they will rip you off. They were supposed to help with potty training but their recording of the potty training sessions is a joke and numerous times my child has come home with a soiled pull-up. That’s not to mention that they said my child hit himself in the face with a toy. He’s never done that in his life and when you ask how he got a scratch on his face it’s pulling tooth and nail to get any answers. And then a week after that he had a bruise on his face also with no explanation. They do a lot of things right but I believe they also abuse certain kids. Mine being one of them. And upon his last week at the daycare they tried charging us more money instead of using the deposit we had already paid for the last week in which we had to fight and argue that the deposit was paid.
