Charleston's Home Away from Home
Hello, Neighbor — Your Little One Deserves a Soft Place to Land
At Playhouse Daycare, we believe the earliest years should feel like coming home. Nestled on Orange Grove Road, our warm, home-like environment gives your child the gentle foundation they need to grow, explore, and thrive.
Our Story
A Place Where Children Are Known, Not Just Kept
Since 1969, Playhouse Daycare has been a quiet cornerstone of the Charleston community — a place where families trust us with what matters most. We are not a large institution. We are a home. And we treat every child who walks through our door as though they belong to us.
Our approach is simple: small groups, attentive caregivers, and an environment designed with curiosity and care in mind. We understand that choosing childcare is one of the most important decisions a family makes. That is why we focus on building real relationships — with your child, and with you.
Nurturing Atmosphere
A home-like setting where every child feels safe, seen, and valued.
Small Group Sizes
Low child-to-caregiver ratios ensure personal attention for every child.
Community Rooted
Over five decades of serving Charleston families builds lasting trust.
What We Offer
Programs Designed Around Your Child's World
Every age group at Playhouse has its own rhythm, its own activities, and its own space — thoughtfully arranged to support development at every stage.
Infant Care
For our youngest visitors — a quiet, gentle space where feeding, napping, and bonding are guided by patience and warmth. Your baby gets one-on-one attention in an environment built for their needs.
Toddler Program
Curious feet, big questions, endless discovery. Our toddler program embraces the wonder of early walking and talking with sensory play, simple language, and plenty of outdoor time.
Preschool Prep
Building the habits, confidence, and curiosity that carry into the classroom. Our preschool program introduces early literacy, numeracy, and social skills through play-based learning.
Before & After School
A calm, structured bridge between school and home. Homework help, snacks, and supervised play in a relaxed setting that keeps the day running smoothly for working families.
Why Families Choose Us
The Difference Is in the Details
A Real Home, Not a Facility
Our doors open onto a residential street. The feel inside matches — warm, familiar, and free of institutional echoes. This is where your child will want to be.
Consistent, Caring Caregivers
Children flourish with familiar faces. Our team stays with us, building deep relationships with the children in their care — and with the families who trust them.
Transparent & Welcoming
Visit anytime. Ask questions. We believe parents should never wonder what their child is doing all day — because they are always welcome to see for themselves.
Charleston Since 1969
More than fifty years in the same neighborhood is not an accident. It is a testament to the families who have stayed with us, generation after generation.
"We have been coming to Playhouse for three generations of our family. That says everything."
