New Innovative Daycare Center Open in Storrs Center

Educational Playcare, a leader in providing high quality child care to families in Connecticut for nearly 30 years, opened the doors today at its ninth location in Storrs, Connecticut.

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 offers all of the benefits of the large “corporate” daycare centers and much, much more, including nutritious meals and snacks, an award-winning curriculum, secure facilities, professional teachers, daily electronic communication to family members (including pictures and videos), advanced sanitizing technology, and arts and enrichment programs that include music, fitness, and yoga lessons for all.

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 28 Wilbur Cross Way in Storrs, CT. Tours can be arranged by calling 860-477-1244 or by contacting them through their website: www.EducationalPlaycare.com/contact/
