  • We’ve had such a good experience ! The staff is super kind and really seems to care about the kids. My little one’s is always excited to go in the morning and comes home happy (which is a plus 😄). They do a lot of fun activities during the day—crafts, music, learning games—and I love how they keep the kids busy and engaged. It’s also really clean and feels safe, which was important for us. The communication is great too!! Overall, we feel lucky to have found this place. It gives me peace of mind while I’m at work, and I know my child is in good hands.

  • This center has been nothing short of amazing to my daughter. She has been attending for about 5 months now and I have never had any issues and feel so relieved knowing my child is safe, happy, and learning so many things. The staff is incredible. They communicate so well and keep the parents involved with everything that goes on. It is night and day from the previous horrible center she attended. 10/10 recommend.

  • The absolute BEST daycare/preschool around. The staff is beyond amazing, they love and care about each child just as much as we as a parent do. They have gone above and beyond for my children. My oldest just graduated the 4K program, he’s been there for two years. They have done a spectacular job preparing him for kindergarten. My youngest has been with them for about 1.5 years now and has made leaps and bounds with them. Potty training hasn’t been the easiest this time around but with their help we are making major progress. Basically, I don’t think I could ever truly praise this school enough. Any child that goes here is a lucky child! They feel safe, wanted, welcomed and loved beyond comprehension 💚

  • My son has went to this childcare center for almost a year, and all I have to say are great things about the center. The 4K program he is in is amazing, and prior the preschool really assisted him in learning things that are above the expectations for his age. As a parent who has had their child in 3 centers prior, safety and communication is a huge priority of mine, and I have never felt more safe having my child somewhere not in my care. The director and teachers also makes sure everything is communicated to me, good or bad, big or small. Switching his care over to this center was the best decision I could have made.

  • My daughters are a little over two years old and have attended SMA since they were four months old. Some time ago, SMA and the North Myrtle Beach community welcomed new owners. While transition is always a process, my husband and I are beyond pleased with the love, care and overall support for whole-child development that our daughters receive everyday from the owners, teachers and support staff! As a parent to young children, I am truly grateful for the peace I feel every time I drop off my girls and leave the SMA parking lot… a peace that is truly priceless!!!

  • The new owners are great! My son has really taken to Miss Twila, and his face lights up when he's around her. He has Autism, so it makes me feel wonderful to see that he's taken to her so quickly. I trust them and highly recommend them to anyone.
