391 SCHAFFNER DR HARRISBURG, PA

Welcome to Kids & Company Schaffner! This location was formerly called “Aa to Zz”, but has since been purchased by Kids & Company and now operates with our staff and proprietary programming. Our location is proudly endorsed by Eco-Healthy Child Care®, a program that partners with child care professionals to eliminate environmental hazards in early learning settings with the goal of protecting the health of children and staff. We are located in West Hanover Township, in the Brynfield Development area, near the corner of Hershey Rd. and Green Hill Rd. Our standalone building is set back far from the road, and the residential environment provides a quiet and private place for children to learn. We have a large parking lot that parents can use during pick-up and drop-off, and do not recommend this location for parents travelling by transit as the nearest bus stop is about 3.5 miles away. Inside the building, you’ll find large windows that let in lots of natural light and an architectural design that uniquely suits daycares. Along with colorful and bright classrooms, we also have a cafeteria and a gross motor room for children to get physically active during inclement weather. Outside we have 2 large and separate fenced-in playgrounds, one dedicated to toddlers and the other for preschoolers. Each area is equipped with age-appropriate structures and toys that children use to develop their gross motor skills. We also have chickens that the children love to help take care of! Our 8 classrooms can accommodate 92 children in our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Kindergarten Prep, and School Age programs. The School Age program runs as Before and After School care, School Break care, and Summer Camp. Transit from East Hanover, Paxtonia Elementary, Mt. View, Lingelstown and South Hanover elementary schools are provided with additional cost. Children that are 6 years and under are welcome on a full-time or part-time (3 full days or 5 half days) basis, with backup care being available on an ad-hoc basis. At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn-through-play philosophy. This means children are presented with learning opportunities in direct response to their individual interests and skills. Our children are immersed in experiences that enhance language, literacy, a sense of music and rhythm, and socialization so that they may develop independence, confidence and a positive sense of self and the world around them. We serve our children breakfast, lunch, and snacks each day, all prepared in our on-site kitchens. Formula is also available for our Infants. We are proud members of the Keystone STARS (Standards, Training/Professional Development, Assistance, Resources, and Supports) program, a quality rating system that promotes quality improvement in early learning and development programs and school-age child care. A Keystone STARS designation means that children are in a safe, respectful environment in which they are learning new things every day to support their current and future successes in school and in life.

What matters to us at HMC Child Care is simple: Your child. We provide strong social and educational foundations that prepare your child for success in Kindergarten, elementary school, and beyond. At HMC we learn through play and activities that will help build fine and gross motor skills and most importantly teach strong interpersonal skills by building smiles in the child’s early stages. Language is key in children’s early stages and that is why HMC added Spanish and French to our curriculum. Our classrooms are designed to give children room to grow, room to share, and room to be themselves. Here, children work together, have constructive fun together, and discover how enjoyable learning can be.
