Early Childhood Learning
Our Early Childhood Learning program provides full-day care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers aged 3 months–4 years. Our classes use Teaching Strategies Gold curriculum, which focuses on play-based learning through developmentally appropriate practices, and Conscious Discipline for social-emotional learning and classroom behavior management.
Contact Amy Wills, Director of Early Childhood Education, at (864) 944-2270 or earlylearning@tdarschool.org to learn more about our programs and enroll your child today.
Starlight Academy
Our Elementary Academy exclusively serves the children whose mothers are enrolled in the Starlight program. With small student to teacher ratios, individualized instruction, and trauma-informed classrooms, the Academy helps Starlight kids catch up academically, socially, and emotionally, so they can succeed in a public school classroom after their moms graduate from Starlight.

Afterschool Program
The Afterschool program serves K5–8th grade students by helping them excel academically through tutoring and homework help, cultivate good citizenship through our Navigators platform, explore their interests through a wide variety of enrichment activities, and learn resiliency skills through trauma informed care.
