About Family Support Services

Family Support Services is a center-based child care option for the parents and families of Philadelphia. Students at Family Support Services will benefit from the stable, school-like learning environment that replicates the best of what students will experience in the years ahead without asking too much of the little ones too quickly. At a center like Family Support Services, students will benefit as well from the manifold socialization opportunities that come with having so many peers of similar ages and an enriching, stimulating curriculum. For Philadelphia parents, as well, the full-time schedule at Family Support Services can be exactly what they need. Full-time gives students the time to really gain from the best of what early education can be - learning with peers, exploring with teachers and finding something new to explore every day. The full-time schedule at Family Support Services creates a real community for families outside of the home and sets up students well for tackling education in the years ahead. Family Support Services also offers a Mother Goose curriculum that teaches skill-building and early development through activities, games and discovery exercises. Mother Goose is cross-disciplinary, research-based and experiential. Students at Family Support Services will receive learning through play, physical development through movement, creative development through art, social and emotional development through cooperation and much, much more. Mother Goose curriculums are often taught in themes, too, so students get to experience in the classroom what’s going in their lives as well such as the changing of the seasons!
