In 1985, seeing the need for a quality childcare facility in Columbia county, a local businessman and his wife began construction on Small Wonders Playcare Center and Kindergarten, Inc. in Evans, GA. 

​

In April of 1986, the center opened its doors as one of the largest childcare facilities in the area and the only one with a cafeteria.  At the time, the center offered a fully accredited Kindergarten program for 5-year old’s. 

 

While some things have changed in the past thirty years – the Kindergarten program has been replaced with two Pre-k classes, and the center now sits on a five lane Belair Road, opposed to a two lane road, a lot has remained the same.  

 

The center is now taking care of a second generation roster as several of the parents of the children enrolled now were cared for at the center themselves. 

 

Through the years, our main goal has remained the same – provide every child that enters our center a safe and caring environment where children are safe, and can develop socially, emotionally, and academically - building a great foundation for a successful life.
