Educational Playcare Breaks Ground at Quarry Walk

Haynes Development is proud to announce the formal ground breaking of Education Playcare at Quarry Walk in Oxford.

Established in 1986 to provide full and part-time educational childcare programs and summer camp for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old, Educational Playcare is owned and operated by Jane Porterfield and her husband Gerry Pastor.

“We are proud of our reputation as the provider of the highest-quality childcare, nursery school, and preschool programs for children that can be found anywhere.” said Jane Porterfield.

Educational Playcare’s mission is to provide the children in their care with the highest quality developmental and educational programs in a nurturing, safe, and supportive environment and to facilitate and enrich the childcare experience of their families.

“It has been our privilege to provide childcare services to thousands of families in Connecticut. One significant reason why Educational Playcare is different is because Jane and I are passionately involved with every aspect of our schools every single day.” said Gerry.

Scheduled to open in September 2017, the 15,000sf single story daycare facility has been designed by award winning, Simsbury based architectural firm Phase Zero Design.

“We are extremely excited to bring such a quality daycare provider to Quarry Walk. The team worked closely together to ensure the space was both functionally and esthetically designed.” said Kathy Ekstrom, Development Manager for Haynes Development. “Tom Haynes and I had the opportunity to visit several of their locations and it was clear to us based upon what we saw and the families we met, that Educational Playcare would be a great addition to Quarry Walk.”
