About Us
About Cainhoy Children's Academy
Cainhoy Children’s Academy offers premium childcare and early education services for youth between the ages of six weeks and five years. Locally owned and operated, the academy is located near the Cainhoy and Daniel Island communities, within three miles of Interstate 526 and the Philip Simmons schools.
The Academy features a relevant curriculum designed to nurture children’s curiosity, creativity, and interests. By making full use of the natural environment and state‑of‑the‑art facilities here on Clements Ferry Road, we provide a well-rounded developmental experience for the children in our care. Families may choose from full-time and part-time care options.
Ultimately, our mission is to foster genuine relationships with every Cainhoy Children’s Academy family. The center provides a safe, engaging setting to promote the educational success, social development, and overall well-being of every child.
Individual Learning
Every child is unique, therefore the school will create an individual assessment for every student, which is designed to track an individual student’s strengths, weaknesses, and cumulative progress in attaining a year’s worth of learning at a specific growth level. The assessment will empower preschool students to track their own progress, which initiates student ownership of learning goals. The plan’s development is a collaborative effort between the teacher, parent, student, and other staff involved with the student’s academic achievement.
Community of Character
Our aim is to promote a community of character within the School to support the social and emotional growth of students, which will in turn promote the academic growth of students. Principles from research-based programs drive the development of a safe community in which students learn skills that support citizenship, both in and out of the classroom. Cooperation, empathy, responsibility, and self-management are just a few of the traits students will cultivate in the school environment that values the whole child. Students will be motivated to succeed through building lasting relationships and trust with those around them.
Tours
We are proud to welcome all current and prospective families into our school. We have an open door and welcome families to tour any day between 9 am – 3 pm. We want every family to feel welcomed and a part of the CCA community. You can call to schedule a tour or drop by unannounced during the day. Please note we will need to see a picture ID upon entering to tour.

We are proud to be a member of the South Carolina Association of Early Care and Education (SCAECE) .
