About Petite Playhouse

Petite Playhouse can be the next step in the learning journey for you and your little one! Petite Playhouse is a center-based child care facility that provides the families of Philadelphia with a structured, stable learning environment for children to grow and blossom. Center-based early care and education like you’ll find at Petite Playhouse are attractive for parents that want their children to enjoy enriching activities, a strong peer set to bond with, and a community of staff that really value what early education can bring to the lives of children. The benefit of a full-time schedule for children, too, can be dramatic! In a structured, repeated learning environment, students will play with the same peers, get familiar with the same staff and experience something new every day. The full-time schedule at Petite Playhouse offers families these things for their children in an environment that’ll soon become a real community. Parents get the advantages of long blocks of time to work while students will grow their social, behavioral and cognitive skills. Petite Playhouse teaches a play-based curriculum that values self-directed, interactive, intuitive learning by and for children. Students at play-based schools get the opportunity to participate in theme-based, hands-on activities with staff that facilitate and direct the discovery process. Through these hands-on activities, students develop social, cognitive and emotional skills built through the cooperation process with their peers. A play-based approach also can spark a love of learning that will be foundational for students throughout their early years of formal school.
