Educational Playcare

Great school, great program! Our daughter (who is almost one) gets very excited when we go to drop her off, she loves being around other kids and her teachers!
The staff is great too, and listens to our concerns and needs, were very pleased with the quality of care for our little girl!

This is the best daycare around. The daily pictures & updates make me feel safe. I enjoy being able to see pictures of my son while I am at work & seeing what he did all day.

We are really happy with the care our daughter receives here. The teachers have always been amazing; they know our daughter and genuinely care for her well being. Valerie and Shana are great with the toddlers, and Kelly and Debbie were amazing with the infants!
I also really like that there is such a structured curriculum. They do art, singing and circle time, outdoor play, sensory play, yoga, sign language, and a lot more. Our daughter can count to ten in English and Spanish and she’s not even 2! Any issues I’ve brought up have been addressed very quickly and treated with importance. It’s an open door policy, which is comforting to know the staff is confident in their day to day so anyone can come in at any time. There is good security with all the cameras and your own code to get in. They also have great equipment for outdoor play. They offer haircuts and school pictures even for the babies! Probably my favorite aspect would be the on-​site chef. We never have to worry about packing lunch or snacks, as they have two snacks plus lunch (and milk) included in the tuition.
It is a bit expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Also as with any large center you have to follow the larger guidelines, such as paying for your child even if the center is closed or if your child is sick. That piece is the only downside, but would be expected at any large daycare center, not just EPC, and the benefits of this place definitely outweigh that one negative.

I was lucky enough to have a long term nanny but when the situation changed, I was forced to look into daycares for my two children aged 3.5 and 13 months. I looked at several places and while others were nice, they didn’t offer nearly the same quality that EPC offers. The staff is all warm and welcoming. Michelle answers questions by email usually the same day. The teachers are all extremely knowledgeable and knew my children’s names on the very first day, no reminders needed. They are kept active and engaged, and I LOVE the updates I receive during the day. Being able to see their happy faces while I’m at work is amazing for me. My daughter absolutely loves it here. My son loves it once I leave but he doesn’t handle drop off very well (he’s 13 months). The teachers are quick to distract him and report he’s usually 100% tear free within a few minutes.
I am so incredibly happy with the level of care my kids receive at EPC. I LOVE the fact that meals are included, it just makes life so much easier. Highly recommended!

My son (almost 3) has been going to this center since he was an infant. We interviewed so many day cares in this area and we are so happy we chose this place. They really focus on education and they have a great curriculum. They also do music, art and expose the children to a different sport activity each week. The children also play outside twice a day and they do water play in the summer. They have separate play areas for different age groups so it is age appropriate and my son loves all the fun activities outside! They have an ipad in every classroom and the teachers email pictures and updates throughout the day which I love! At the end of the day, you receive an email that details your child’s day (activities, diaper changes, notes, what he/​she ate, etc). They also provide lunch and snacks onsite. Unfortunately my son is extremely picky with his food so we do have to bring in other foods and the school has been very understanding. Also, just before my son was 2, his teachers noticed a developmental delay and introduced us to Birth to 3 services. Thank goodness they did that, because the extra services have made a huge difference. Educational Playcare have been very accommodating in working with his Birth to 3 teachers and providing him the education and services that he needs. This is a great center and I have no hesitation in recommending this place. :)

I am sending my second child here as well, 3 years after my first started. It’s nice to have the same teachers who cared for my first care for my second. Low turnover is a huge benefit for a daycare. We still love it here!
