About Pleasant Playground

Pleasant Playground offers early childhood care and education in a center-based facility in Philadelphia. Students and families at Pleasant Playground will get the best of a school-like environment that both provides the structure and stability for learning to flourish and the soft introduction for students to formal school in the years to come. As a center, Pleasant Playground also has the space, resources and opportunities for enrichment and educational activities alongside the empathetic and caring relationships that will benefit students for years ahead. Pleasant Playground likewise affords Philadelphia parents a full-time schedule for their children to enjoy. Full-time means children get the full benefits of a structured learning environment for them to explore, play, and laugh with their peers and get the most out of what the wide world of learning has to offer! Children will form close bonds with each other and parents benefit from having enrolled their children in a community while they spend time away. Pleasant Playground also takes a play-based approach to facilitating the learning and development of students. A play-based educational approach emphasizes theme-based, hands-on activities that get students involved, often in the areas of learning that they’re particularly interested in at the time. Play-based schools like Pleasant Playground focus on the process of learning and the social, emotional skills built along the way and often break their physical settings up to encourage and facilitate different play in different areas.
