About Early Years Development Center

The first few years are a joy to behold and the learning and fun that happen within them is formative for success ahead! Early Years Development Center is a center-based child care provider serving children, parents and families in Philadelphia. Centers like Early Years Development Center are popular choices with families that value getting the best of early educational enrichment, in the form of stimulating activities and a peer set of similarly-aged children, along with an environment that feels like formal school and can help smooth the transition ahead. Early Years Development Center at the same time provides a full-time schedule that can be a life-saver for busy parents. Full-time gives you the ability to get everything on your to-do list done - whether that’s at work or at home - and gives your child the structured, deep, in-depth learning environment that’s critical for early education. Children at Early Years Development Center benefit from the time to make real, lasting friendships and a schedule that allows them to explore in so many ways! In addition, Early Years Development Center teaches a mixed-age curriculum that facilities peer learning and communal growth. In a mixed-age classroom like at Early Years Development Center, students receive open-ended, stimulating activities and are encouraged to move at their own pace. Younger students receive help and encouragement from older students, boosting their confidence and self-esteem, and older students get to lend a helping hand, teaching empathy and the joy of giving. Mixed-age learning replicates the best of a family or neighborhood group structure as children socialize with peers a little ahead or a little behind their own development path.
