What Makes Us Different
We believe a successful early childhood education is one focusing on the development of the whole child, particularly the physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs. Platt Park Children’s Center (PPCC) accomplishes this through guided discovery and hands-on learning in a play-based environment. Through play, children learn to build positive relationships with others, explore their surroundings and ask meaningful questions. Play-based learning focuses on the process not the product, enriching a child’s feelings of success and his love of learning.
Having experienced and knowledgeable early childhood educators who work in collaboration provides a safe and engaging environment for learning. Open and honest communication between staff members and parents helps to enhance a child’s learning experience. PPCC teachers provide developmentally appropriate activities and a wide variety of materials with which children can play and experiment. Teachers aid the learning process by asking questions, setting goals, and modeling positive behavior. PPCC provides a loving and nurturing learning environment that supports children to develop the gifts God has given them.
