The Future of Childcare and Preschool is Here!
- Business History
- 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 back in 1986 when Founder and President, Jane Porterfield completed her Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. Child care options at that time were basically glorified babysitting with little in the way of an educational component. Jane wanted to be different. She wanted to provide children and families with an experience that would be both fun AND educational. When Jane considered a name for her new child care business that year, she thought about the importance of play in order for learning to take place. (She was years ahead of her time as today play based learning in universally recognized as the most developmentally correct approach.) She also knew the importance of providing a nurturing, secure, joyful, and stimulating environment. And so Educational Playcare was born.

General Info
Today, the importance of positive childhood experiences, starting from infancy, and their relation to future success in life is universally understood. It was not 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 was established in 1986 to provide full and part-time childcare and educational programs for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. 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. We have distinguished ourselves by providing exceptional services through being consistently at the cutting edge of technology as it applies to the early childhood industry and we have maintained these high standards with the quality control that comes from being owner operated. Despite our relatively small size, however, we are still able to offer all of the benefits of the large corporate child care centers and more! It has been our privilege to provide childcare services to thousands of families in Connecticut. In fact, some of our previous students have come back to work for us and help nurture the next generation! Full and part time childcare programs for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old.
