Child care
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 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've 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've 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!

We are centrally located in Killingworth, very close to the traffic circle. This allows for easy access to Route 9 and Interstate 95 . A little about me, Diane.. I have lived in Killingworth all my life except for a short time where I lived in Guilford CT. I graduated from Haddam-Killingworth High School. After graduation I went to work for The Clinipad Corporation in Guilford CT. Where in my 16 years of employment with them I held many positions in Production, Quality Assurance and ending up with 8 years in Upper Management. When the corporation relocated to Charlotte N.C. I decided to pursue my aspiration to care for children. I opened my home to children as a licensed day care provider in March of 1998. In 1999 I earned a Diploma in Child Day Care Management. I also maintain certification in C.P.R., Medication Administration and First Aid. In addition to the above, I belong to our regional child day care association, and attend continuous classes and trainings to better the quality of care in my home. I am also a Justice of the Peace. In 2005 I earned National Certification in EKG and Phlebotomy. My mother Eleanor Sanderson ( AKA - Grandma ) also lives with us and she is a State approved day care Assistant / Substitute. We look forward to hearing from you.. Sincerely, Diane

Whole Hearted Early Learning Center (WHELC) is a licensed play-based and community focused at home center located in Clinton. WHELC emphasizes the importance of viewing each child as an individual. We serve families with children between the ages of 2.9-4 years old. The Head Teacher for our PreK program has over 7 years experience teaching within PreK and Kindergarten. She holds a Masters in Early Childhood Education and has a passion for working with children. Her dedication to her family and to the field of early childhood education are what brought her out of the public school setting and into our PreK program here at WHELC. We practice a hybrid of approaches to teaching and follow the Opening the World of Learning (OWL) curriculum along with the CT ELDS. We focus on all areas of development and believe that children learn best through hands-on experiences. We are mindful of each student's needs and interests, so you may see a little Reggio Emilia, a dash of Montessori, and a sprinkle of High Scope topped with Waldorf within our PreK work and environment.
