About Penrose Playground

Penrose Playground is a center-based early care and education provider for the students, parents and families of Philadelphia. As a center, Penrose Playground provides that strong environment of structure and stability for students to learn and the enrichment resources and opportunities to ensure that every student can find something to set their imaginations on fire. Centers like Penrose Playground are popular choices for parents that don’t want to compromise on education but also want to enjoy the community that comes with strong peers sets and experienced staff. Penrose Playground 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.
