Blossom Academy is a licensed ABC Quality early learning center in downtown Lancaster, SC. We care for children from six weeks through school age across our infant, toddler, two year old, three year old, First Steps 4K, and after school programs, and we are open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., including all Lancaster County school breaks.
Our classrooms follow The Creative Curriculum, a play based, hands on approach aligned to the SC Early Learning Standards. In August 2026 we launched a Spanish Dual Language Immersion program for infants through age three, where children pick up a second language the way they pick up their first, through songs, stories, meals, and everyday play.
We also screen every child's development with ASQ-3, serve USDA approved meals at no cost to families, and know every child in the building by name.
