As finishing touches are being made, we’re excited to give our community a first look inside the new District 7 Little Vikings Employee Childcare Center—opening just in time for the new school year! Watch at spartanburg7.org/LittleVikings.
In this preview video, center director Moira Scheel takes you on a tour of our beautiful new facility and shares how the thoughtfully designed curriculum, spaces, and furnishings will support the growth, learning, and well-being of children in our care.
Made possible through the support of our community in the recent referendum, Little Vikings will play a vital role in helping Spartanburg School District 7 recruit and retain outstanding educators. Access to affordable, high-quality childcare is a priority for our community—especially for teachers and staff with young families. We’re proud to take this important step toward supporting them, which in turn will strengthen our schools.
Enrollment is now open for children of District 7 employees, with limited space still available for all age groups from infants through 4K! Learn more and secure your child’s spot at spartanburg7.org/littlevikings.
Take a look inside and see what’s ahead for our Little Vikings!

UPDATE FOR THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5: Schools on Regular Schedule
It was wonderful to see our schools full of life again today!
For tomorrow (Thursday), D7 schools will operate on regular schedule.
Temperatures have remained above freezing for more than 24 hours and this trend is expected to continue overnight and through tomorrow.
We have identified only a few roads that buses may be unable to travel safely, so impacted families will be contacted directly by our D7 Transportation Team this evening with an alternate pickup location.
Enjoy the rest of this week and SHINE on, D7!
