In a loving atmosphere, we offer a well organized preschool program for the whole child that meets the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs of our students. We provide a positive approach to learning through play and hands on experience. Fort Mill Prep Preschool has been serving the community in Fort Mill, South Carolina for over 8 years.

Please read about our Parent Co-operative opportunities.

FMPS Teachers are SC State Certified Early Childhood Educators or have a degree in Early Childhood.  We have a very diverse staff which includes teachers from different countries and teachers who have many years of experience.

The Parent Cooperative is a not-for-profit pre-school run by a board of directors consisting of parents, teachers, and the director. With parents at the leading the program, the first priority is to create an environment where our children will thrive, become prepared for elementary school, and enjoy school in a safe and nurturing environment. The school is run by working parents, for working families, so school policies are designed to make life easier for families. Our Goal as a Cooperative School is to have the best Preschool in the York County Area. The parents at FM Cooperative Preschool all join together to make sure that their child has the very best in Early Learning and that they make choices for their child.  It’s more than a Preschool.  It’s a Community!

The two-year old class creates a loving and fun atmosphere to encourage each child to develop self-confidence and independence while developing an appreciation of literature, music, drama, nursery rhymes, art, and more. 

3's Preschool Program

In the 3 year-old class we provide many activities to insure each child’s social and emotional growth is a healthy one. Each activity is carefully prepared by the teachers. The children like to be actively involved so when implementing the curriculum, FMPS Preschool considered the children's’ interests first.  

4's & 5's Kindergarten Readiness Program

Our Kindergarten Readiness Program provides an excellent opportunity for each child to express himself or herself in a fun and caring environment while learning the skills and gaining the knowledge  for kindergarten preparedness. 

Explorers After school Program/Summer Camp

This program provides a structured and planned after school opportunity. A student receives homework help, nutritional snack and is a great opportunity to make friends and play together.

Attending a high-quality program like Fort Mill Prep prepares children for kindergarten and beyond.  In addition to strengthening socialization skills, how to compromise, be respectful of others, and problem solve. Our preschool provides a place where your child can gain a sense of self, explore, play with peers, and build confidence. This year we have opened an infant and one year old program. Also starting at age 2, Fort Mill Prep offers early-childhood educational classes for children up to 5 years of age.  For 5 years and older, Fort Mill Prep also offers an exceptional after school program as well an exciting and involving summer camp program.

“Children who attend high-quality preschool enter kindergarten with better pre-reading skills, richer vocabularies, and stronger basic math skills than those who do not,” says NIEER director W. Steven Barnett, PhD.
