Caring.
Rewarding.
Growing.

Plainfield Childcare is committed to providing a safe, fun, loving, and educational childcare program. We believe children learn best through hands-on play. Our teachers create intentional play activities from the children’s interests, strengths, and weaknesses. We believe parents and guardians are the children’s first teachers, so we strive to work with them to help each child reach their full potential.

In addition to our best-in-class traditional year-round care, we are also an approved Great Start to Readiness Program (GSRP) site offering FREE preschool to families with 4 year old children. We also offer a fun summer program for school-age children which includes numerous field trips.

About Us

Curriculum

We implement the industry leading Creative Curriculum which incorporates four key elements of development to ensure the growth of the whole child:

Social

Your child will communicate with others verbally and nonverbally to engage in the world around them. Your child will make new friends and gain the confidence, self-esteem, and negotiating skills necessary for a lifetime of healthy relationships.

Emotional

Children will enjoy a safe, nurturing "home away from home" where they can learn to express themselves and understand their own unique identities. Your child will gain the comfort and confidence to forge trusting relationships, value their individuality, and have fun just being him or herself.

Physical

We focus on the physical health and well-being of your child so he/she grows up safe and strong. Motor-skill development, coordination, mobility, and exercise all help ensure your growing child has a healthy body for a lifetime.

Intellectual

Our program helps build brain power by supporting the development of judgment, perception, memory, reasoning, critical thinking, and language through a series of age-appropriate cognitive activities. Reading, writing, and math are important and children learn by experiencing the world around them.
