If you’re a parent weighing childcare options, you already know the stakes are high. You want a place where your child is loved, supported, and truly learning—but you also need it to be affordable.
At Celebree School of Fort Mill–Patricia Lane, we understand. That’s why we’re proud to accept two powerful state-funded scholarship programs that help families like yours give their child a strong start—without the stress of a high tuition bill.
What Are the Programs?
ABC Quality & ABC Vouchers
Think of this as financial support to help pay for early education and care at a trusted school like ours. The ABC Voucher Program, managed by South Carolina DSS, offers partial tuition coverage based on your family’s eligibility. And because we’re an ABC Quality Rated provider, you know you’re choosing a program that meets high standards for safety, learning, and care.
What it covers:
- Tuition help for children of any age
- Breakfast and snack included daily
- Families bring a lunch from home
- Remainder of tuition costs after copay
Use the DSS Portal to check eligibility for childcare financial assistance through the ABC Voucher Program.
First Steps 4K
If your child is 4 years old, this program is a game changer. First Steps 4K fully covers your child’s preschool tuition at Celebree—no cost to you.
Even better? You can combine this with ABC Vouchers to help cover before and after care, so you’ve got full-day support that works with your schedule.
What you can expect:
- 100% free high-quality pre-K for eligible families
- Add wrap-around care with ABC Vouchers
- Siblings may qualify for voucher support too
