Cheshire Preschools

The future of childcare and preschool is here! Educational Playcare was established in 1986 to provide full- and part-time educational childcare programs and for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. We are proud of our reputation as the provider of the highest-quality childcare and preschool programs for children that can be found anywhere. We've distinguished ourselves by providing exceptional childcare services through being consistently at the cutting edge of technology as it applies to the early childhood industry. It has been our privilege to provide childcare services to thousands of families in Connecticut.

Our preschoolers learn while having fun using hands-on, discovery-based methods to explore science, math, language, and the arts, as well as enhancing social, spatial, and physical skills. Our carefully crafted inquiry-based program is designed to challenge each preschooler to stretch and grow. Professional staff tailor the program to the individual needs of each child, ensuring that the particular challenges they encounter ultimately lead to success. This experience of positive outcomes rewarding their efforts enhances children's self-confidence and naturally promotes a joy for learning!

We are proud to say that each of our teachers holds a Master's Degree in Education, with staff certified to teach at the elementary school level. Additionally, Director Jan R. brings over 35 years experience in every aspect of early childhood education. Our developmentally-appropriate program is based on the Bank Street educational model.

Our modern one-room school house (now with an added lower-enrollment classroom) is cozy and warm, situated on acres of fields and woods offering an unparalleled "outdoor campus" for nature studies. Our staff is dedicated, nurturing and professional. We welcome your visit, and will happily answer any questions you might have about our program. We feel sure you will find CNS to be a unique and welcoming community of learners!

Whippersnapper's Play Gym offers extraordinary programs that help children develop confidence and self-esteem through unique activities. We have classes for ages 6 months to 4 years old that encourages growth of fine and gross motor skills and social and emotional development. Children are encouraged to participate in our activities and to play and share with other children in the class, but we also have less structured activities so the children can also explore and learn on their own. Our birthday parties are fun for kids up to age 12 and completely stress-free for adults! Our team takes care of every detail including facilitating games and serving and cleaning up the food. Parents can enjoy the party and interact with their guests while we handle it all! We are also closed to the public during your party which makes for a much more personal and united experience for everyone. Our Open Play times are for all ages and do not require any commitment or membership. Just stop in, pay the low admission price and stay for as long as you wish within our open play times. During the summer and school holidays, we run a day camp for children, ages 3-8, that is licensed by the State of Connecticut. Our camp is very flexible as we do not require any minimum enrollments, you pick what days you'd like your child to attend. We have full day or half day camp and also offer before and aftercare options. We have our indoor air conditioned play area and a fenced in outdoor area with a water sprinkler. Our camp directors are all college graduates, have each been employed at Whippersnapper's for over 6 years and are state certified to be camp directors and first aid directors. Whippersnapper's Play Gym customers are family. We love watching your children grow and love being part of the community. The best part of our day is when families enter the gym as strangers and leave as friends. Building a strong community and support system for families is invaluable to us.

Get set for a thrill-filled summer! Our age-specific, kid-approved camps add up to a season of discovery and fun for preschool to school-age children. This year, our 12 weeks of camps fall into six great themes: Mighty Bodies, Bendy Brains; Awesome Art; Gravity Galore and More; The Wondrous World of Food; Wild about Water; and Featured Creatures.

We're in session when your local public schools are on break and you'll find our flexible scheduling works for your busy family. See why our summer (and winter and spring) break camps are the place to be when school's out.
