Frog Academy Preschool & Daycare in North Charleston

Family-owned in Charleston, South Carolina. Childhood is serious business. We make it seriously fun. Guided by an administrative team of experienced South Carolina certified teachers, our caregivers bring play-based learning to the classroom with the award-winning Creative Curriculum, while Brightwheel keeps our families connected.

Purposeful play and early learning

More than daycare. Purposeful play. Real learning. Loving care. We strongly believe children learn best in a safe environment where they are free to explore and get a little messy. Our classrooms combine music and movement, hands-on discovery, and sensory play with strong literacy, science, and math foundations that prepare children for kindergarten and beyond.

Nursery, toddler and 2K tuition

August 2026 through July 2027 weekly tuition: Nursery, 313 dollars per week; Toddlers, 305 dollars per week; 2K, 285 dollars per week. Nursery provides nurturing, responsive care and purposeful play. Toddlers learn through language-rich routines, movement, outdoor adventures, and fine-motor play. 2K builds focus, independence, social skills, early counting, alphabet knowledge, and potty-training readiness.

Preschool and pre-K tuition

August 2026 through July 2027 weekly tuition: 3K, 275 dollars per week; 4K Early, 275 dollars per week; 4K Plus, 260 dollars per week. These classrooms use music, art, movement, hands-on discovery, technology, literacy, and math activities. Children must be fully and independently potty trained to enroll in 3K, 4K Early, or 4K Plus.

What tuition includes

Weekly tuition includes full-time classroom staffing, a cold breakfast, two daily snacks, baby wipes, classroom supplies, curriculum materials, and facility operating expenses. Tuition reserves a full-time space for up to 10 hours per day and is not prorated for absences, appointments, holidays, scheduled closures, or weather closures. Extended care beyond 10 hours is 65 dollars per week. The non-refundable enrollment fee is 250 dollars per child at initial enrollment and each June. A one-time 50 dollar summer activity fee applies to children in 2K through 4K Plus. Frog Academy closes for one week during the Christmas holiday; exact dates are in the Director’s annual schedule.

Care, connection and campus

Frog Academy serves children ages six weeks through four-plus years, is open year-round, and is near Trident Medical Center and Charleston Southern University. The Creative Curriculum supports learning through play. Brightwheel provides families with daily updates, private messages, photos, videos, and progress information.

Lunch options

Lunch made easy. Families may pack a cold lunch or enroll in the Lillie Fuel lunch program for 25 dollars per week. Lunches are delivered to Frog Academy warm and ready to serve. Every meal includes a protein, fruit, and vegetable. The program is available in every classroom except Nursery.

HappyFeet soccer enrichment

Optional enrichment partner. Frog Academy has partnered with HappyFeet Soccer Fun to offer weekly play-to-learn soccer classes for enrolled children ages two through four. Coaches use songs, stories, imaginative adventures, and playful games. Children build coordination, confidence, listening skills, and a positive attitude at their own pace. HappyFeet is an independent provider; enrollment and fees are handled directly by HappyFeet and are separate from Frog Academy tuition.
