Pelham Road Child Development Center is a child care agency in Greenville, SC. It operates as a licensed facility with license number 23353, serving up to 120 children from 6 weeks old through the year prior to kindergarten. The center is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM and runs year-round, with its academic calendar spanning August to August. Its mission focuses on nurturing routine care, education, safety, cleanliness, nutrition, and love. The facility maintains low staff-to-child ratios to allow for individualized attention and to foster strong bonds between teachers and children.

The program utilizes The Creative Curriculum to provide hands-on learning experiences that support each child’s growth. Communication with families is managed through a dedicated app used for parent updates, lesson plans, and daily reports. Spiritual development is integrated into the daily routine, with children attending chapel once a month led by ministerial staff. Teachers incorporate weekly Bible stories, related activities, and daily prayer into classroom time. Enrichment programs are available for children ages 3 and older to help them explore new skills. All children are given a rest period each day from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. The center provides a hot lunch two days per week and two snacks daily, using a four-week rotating menu to ensure variety in nutritious foods. Developmental progress is tracked through the Ages & Stages Questionnaire screening tool, administered twice per year. Results are shared with parents during biannual conferences, which also include samples of the child’s classwork and artwork.
