More Than Childcare: A Strong Start for Children AND Families
At Thornwell, we believe that family matters! Children thrive when their entire family has access to support and resources. That’s why early childhood education isn’t only important for the child – it’s important for the whole family!
Thornwell Child Development Center provides an educational program that emphasizes growth in all developmental areas. Childhood learning isn’t just about ABCs – it’s about developing confidence and connection. The learning environment is warm, stimulating, and safe for young children’s healthy development. At the CDC each child and each caregiver is welcomed as a person of worth, value, and respect. They’re all part of our Thornwell family!
Today families face new challenges and rising costs. Thornwell is committed to providing early childhood education that is not only affordable, but it is of the highest quality!
What makes our program stand out is our comprehensive approach. The CDC strengthens children’s early learning and development but also supports parents’ ability to work and care for their families. – Tara Nix, Senior Education Director

Thornwell is committed to accessibility and affordability – at Thornwell’s Child Development Center this means offering Early Head Start, 3K, and South Carolina First Steps 4K that can be low or no cost for qualifying families, alleviating financial burden. These services provide more than basic childcare; they provide diapers and nutritious meals.
We all want our children to thrive! Every day at the CDC, we get to experience the joy of childhood and the gift of family!
