Picking Up The Pieces Enrichment Program

Picking Up The Pieces Enrichment Program is a community-centered childcare and microschool program founded by Julia Drayton-Crumblin, a mother, entrepreneur, and community leader based in Charleston, South Carolina. The program was created to fill a gap in accessible, high-quality childcare that not only supports working families but also prioritizes early learning, structure, and cultural connection. What began as a small, home-based program has grown into a trusted space where children are nurtured academically, socially, and emotionally through hands-on learning and meaningful relationships. As a member of James Island Town Council, Julia brings a deep commitment to supporting families and strengthening the community, which is reflected in the program’s foundation and approach. Picking Up The Pieces focuses on creating a safe, structured environment while building strong connections with families and the community, operating under the belief of “community care, not just childcare.” With a personalized, relationship-based approach, the program ensures every child is seen, supported, and given the foundation to grow with love, learning, and legacy.
