My son started going here when they first opened and my daughter since 12 weeks. The James and Jenelle and Admin team, Sammi, Hannah, Mandy along with the teachers are absolutely amazing. I love the updates and pictures throughout the day. I love how they incorporate Bible stories in their curriculum. I've always felt like my kids were well taken care of and they have always enjoyed going to PCD! I can't say enough about this place. It's truly outstanding!

If you are lucky enough to get a spot for your child(ren) at Palmetto Christian Daycare, do it. It was the single best childcare decision I have made. Janelle and Sammi worked with me and my family to accommodate our unique situation. The communication is open and often, the team of teachers is fantastic and the level of care is second to none. We were incredibly fortunate to have PCD so close by. If you want your children to have huge smiles on their faces when you pick them up, you should get in touch with the staff here. I simply can't say enough about them!

Palmetto has been our daughter's first daycare experience but she absolutely loves it. All of the teachers, managers and staff are incredible and feel like family. They send multiple notifications and pictures throughout the day through the BrightWheel phone app. We're always blown away by the verbal skills and songs she learns from daycare. My wife and I fully trust these guys with our daughter.
