Caring.
Rewarding.
Growing.
At Plainfield Child Care, we believe childhood should be filled with wonder, warmth, and meaningful learning.
From the moment children walk through our doors, they are welcomed into a safe, loving, and engaging environmentwhere they are known, valued, and encouraged to grow. We believe children learn best through hands-on, play-based experiences, so our teachers intentionally design activities that spark curiosity, build confidence, and nurture each child’s unique strengths.
Our classrooms are guided by the interests of the children themselves—because when learning is joyful and relevant, it truly sticks. Every day, our caring and experienced teachers support children’s social, emotional, and academic development while fostering independence, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning.
We also believe that parents and guardians are a child’s first and most important teachers. That’s why we partner closely with families, communicating openly and working together to support each child’s growth—both in the classroom and beyond.
In addition to our high-quality, year-round child care, Plainfield Child Care is proud to be an approved Great Start to Readiness Program (GSRP) site, offering FREE preschool for eligible 4-year-olds. We also provide a fun and enriching summer program for school-age children, complete with exciting field trips and memorable experiences that make summer feel special.
At Plainfield Child Care, we don’t just care for children—we help them thrive.

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.
