WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL teachers, students, and parents!!! This might not be the start we were hoping for this school year, but families all around the greater Columbia area, the state of South Carolina, and the world are learning to adjust accordingly.

Teachers …YOU ARE AMAZING! We appreciate you for helping build our children’s education. The time you spend on preparing your daily and weekly schedules is unreal. Teachers have a special place in this world!

Children are going through so many emotions right now – excitement, fear, nervousness, anxiety, depression, happiness, tiredness, and so much more. CHAPIN PEDIATRICS is here for you! We want to know how your children are doing. If your child is struggling with adjusting to their new school schedule, please let us know how we can help. We hope your children have a successful and fantastic school year.

Parents: we work, we help do classwork, we help do homework, we read emails, we make sure our kids are at school on the right days, we make sure the kids are on their Chromebooks at the right times, and so on and so on. Lately it might seem you don’t know if you’re coming or going. Remember to take care of yourself while you’re taking care of everyone else.

This is an uncertain time for everyone, but know we are all in it TOGETHER and WE WILL get through this. From wherever you are – Chapin, Newberry, Prosperity, Irmo, Ballentine, White Rock, Columbia, or beyond – please reach to us if we can help in any way!
