Small Impressions (SI) is a child development center that offers the best “high” quality child care possible for working parents during those challenging traditional and non traditional hours. Our program prepares children for learning and to successfully transition into public or private school. We are bridging the gap of the socioeconomic divide and leveling the educational playing field for th
e children that society deems as coming from economically disadvantaged families. We believe by laying the foundation of learning early will empower children to excel and be successful during their educational experiences. And it will also encourage a child’s lifelong love of learning. Small Impressions Child Development Center provides a healthy, safe, loving, nurturing and stress free environment where learning is a never ending process. We pay close attention to each child’s individual needs and nurture their growing interests by offering an environment that gives each child unlimited opportunities for self-expression through music, art, dramatic play, games, sports, indoor/outdoor recreation, community involvement, technology education, and cultural appreciation and creative learning experiences. Additionally school age students will receive homework and tutorial assistance. Our facility is fun but also educational. We assist with preparing children for primary and secondary schooling by providing programs that not only build academic and social skills but also feelings of achievement and confidence through a combination of structured and unstructured activities. Through this approach we foster the growth of the whole child and broaden their interest levels and help them become independent and inquisitive learners. We are totally dedicated to helping every child achieve the full measure of his or her potential. Student achievement is our #1 priority. Our goal is to challenge each child so that they are able to maximize their learning experiences and reach their full academic potential. By growing academically, emotionally and socially our children will develop into well-adjusted adults. We align many of activities with the South Carolina State Standards. These standards are also utilized by the Greenville County School District. Small Impressions is committed to working closely with parents, guardians, and family members toward the welfare of the whole family. LaVonda lives by that age old adage, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Small Impressions is doing just that. The Center is meeting the needs of our community and assisting many families with becoming self-sufficient. Unlike the competitors, Small Impressions serves not only as a childcare provider, but as a social service connector for the parents and families of the students enrolled (we serve the family as a whole). We utilize relationships in the social services arena to ensure there are no obstacles placed in the lives of the children and their parents to prevent them from maximizing their academic potential and living situation.
