- South Carolina childcare centers face closures as scholarship funding runs out
Daycare centers in South Carolina are closing or reducing staff as federal childcare scholarship funding expires, causing families to withdraw children they can no longer afford. The South Carolina Department of Social Services paused scholarships in December 2025, leading to enrollment drops at facilities like Precious One’s Development Center in Rock Hill, where enrollment fell from 38 to 15 children.
