Second Presbyterian Preschool and Kindergarten

Second Presbyterian Preschool and Kindergarten is a childcare provider in Charleston, SC. The school offers classes for children ages 2 through 5, with Young 2s, Older 2, 3K, and 4K classrooms, and focuses on the development of young minds by promoting creativity and inspiring curiosity. Its interactive learning-based curriculum is designed so each child grows individually while learning the fundamentals for future academic success. The school serves families from the Charleston peninsula and surrounding areas, including West Ashley, North Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Sullivan's Island, Johns Island, Wadmalaw Island, James Island, Rockville, Goose Creek, and Summerville.

The school began in the 1950s. Sue Henderson started directing the kindergarten as it is known today in 1977, and it has been in continuous operation since. Many students enrolled today are the children of the school's alumni. The mission of Second Presbyterian Kindergarten is to provide a safe and happy environment for the education of young children in an atmosphere of Christian love. School hours run from 8:00 am to 2:30 pm.

The school sits on Meeting Street in downtown Charleston's Historic District. The Federal Building and Wragg Square are steps away, and the Joseph Manigault House museum is about a tenth of a mile from the door. A model of the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley is also roughly a tenth of a mile away.

Its long history in the same location, spanning decades of continuous operation on Meeting Street, makes it a longstanding part of early childhood education in downtown Charleston.
