About Iac Jay Cooke

For the parents, families and students of Philadelphia, Iac Jay Cooke offers center-based early care and education that’ll both care for students and their needs now and prepare them for the years ahead! Iac Jay Cooke’s center-based environment enables a strong and structured learning culture, with the enriching curriculum and activities for students that stimulate the brain and their curiosity. Students will benefit from the socialization opportunities that come from interacting with peers of similar ages and non-family adults that’re professionals in the early education space. Iac Jay Cooke further has an after-school schedule that offers structured learning programs and care beyond the traditional school hours. Philadelphia parents get the flexibility they may enjoy to wrap up responsibilities and get things done while their children benefit from Iac Jay Cooke’s extension of learning that can be an asset for the years to come. Students get more socialization with peers, as well, in a different community which can help build confidence, build social and behavioral skills, and provide more relationships to enjoy. Iac Jay Cooke additionally takes a play-based approach to children's development and learning, facilitating education through interactive, hands-on activities that get children moving. Play-based environments structure their spaces to encourage students to move with independence, passion and explore at their own direction. Staff in these environments encourage and galvanize students to lean into their interests and build their own worlds in cooperation with their peers, and students gain cooperative, social and emotional skills as a result of these communal activities.
