Welcome to Play to Learn Childcare! Hi! Thank you for your interest in our childcare center. Whether you are changing childcare or starting childcare for the first time, I understand that it can be overwhelming for both the parents and children involved. Looking for childcare that meets your child's needs and at the same time finding a provider that you feel you can trust with your child can be nerve-racking. I feel it is very important for the parents and the provider to have a very open and friendly relationship to best meet the needs of the children. At Play to Learn Childcare, the team believes that every child is unique. Each child should receive the opportunity to develop social and emotional skills that will help them grow. Our nurturing childcare environment provides each child with the one-on-one attention that will help them to learn important life skills such as respecting others, sharing, polite manners, following instructions, responsibility, emotional control, and problem management. We use an emergent curriculum to educate the children on key learning concepts including colors, counting/math skills, and early literacy. A bonus is a vocabulary in English and Spanish! We allow children to learn through play and guide them to understand these concepts.

Melisha M. says "My son was comfortable and so was I. We never had any issues and if something came up they would always call and communicate. The staff was great and the...

Catbells is a flexible program, focused on creating a nurturing environment that will enrich the lives of young children. Owned and operated by Diana Theriault, it is fully licensed as a home daycare. Diana began working with children when her daughter was about a year old. She started as a teaching assistant in the Step By Step (two's transition) program at Xanadu Family Center.

Upon Xanadu's closing, Diana designed and taught a private class to several children from the Xanadu program. When her son was born, she began teaching a baby class geared toward offering developmentally appropriate activities to children under a year, while helping mothers to connect with other mothers. Diana has worked as a nanny to a family in Cheshire with three children, and has designed and taught after school art classes at Bear Path Elementary.

The Learning Curve is a daycare with child-centered classrooms created for responsiveness to the children’s needs where they are likely to flourish. A child-centered classroom differs from a teacher-directed in the materials, questions, and activities introduced by the teacher are open-ended. There are many possible answers to questions and many ways of making something. The materials in the classrooms contain a variety of ideas and uses. Children come to The Learning Curve Daycare center with myriad interests and questions, and tremendous energy for learning. The director provides an environment that nurtures this natural energy. Careful listening and observation enable the director to stretch and develop the concepts and thinking of the children. Website: tlcdaycarect.com

We encourage children to wonder, question, work with their peers, and experiment with different possibilities. We believe that outdoor play spaces are much more than playgrounds, they are an extension of the classroom in nature. All of our outdoor play spaces were designed to engage children with natural elements, exciting play themes, and varied physical challenges with their safety, health, and skill-building in mind.
