New Childcare Center Now Open in Madison

Educational Playcare, a leader in providing high quality child care to families in Connecticut for nearly 30 years, opened the doors today at its newest location in Madison, Connecticut. The school previously operated first as Madison Learning Center and most recently as Dolphin Days Learning Center.

Educational Playcare was established in 1986 to provide full and part-time childcare and educational programs for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. They are proud of their reputation as the provider of the highest-quality childcare and preschool programs for children that can be found anywhere. They’ve maintained their high standards with the quality control that comes from the passion of their owners to be the best.

Jane Porterfield, Founder and President of Educational Playcare explains their philosophy:

“Today, the importance of positive childhood experiences, starting from infancy, and their relation to future success in life is universally understood. It wasn’t so when we began in 1986. When we originally selected the name “Educational Playcare”, it was because of our understanding of the importance of play in order for learning to take place. We also knew the importance of providing a nurturing, secure, joyful and stimulating environment.

“Children learn best through direct experience. We believe that this direct experience is best gained through play, for play is the work of children. It is through play that children develop concepts about themselves and the world around them. Our goal is to provide the ideal environment to support the “work” of children.”

Educational Playcare consistently raises the bar for the early childhood education industry. One way that they do this is by investing in cutting edge technology that benefits their students, families, and teachers. For instance, they have state of the art security systems at each of their child care centers. They’ve also adopted advanced sanitizing techniques and integrated an electronic communications system that allows their teachers to send customized daily reports, pictures, and even videos to families each day.

They’ve also distinguished themselves by providing superior services. For instance, their programs include nutritious and kid-friendly meals and snacks and their award-winning curriculum incorporates wellness components such as music, yoga, and physical fitness. Families can save time by enrolling their children in on-site lessons such as computer and piano instruction and they even provide on-site haircuts.

Educational Playcare has provided childcare services to thousands of families in Connecticut. In fact, many of their previous students have come back to work for them and help nurture the next generation!

This newest Educational Playcare school is located at 563 Durham Road in Madison, CT. Tours can be arranged by calling (203) 245-3123 or by contacting them through their website: www.EducationalPlaycare.com
