Programs
At Peopleplace, we place the highest importance on creative thinking and positive self-esteem. Here children are listened to with respect and affection and are encouraged to develop empathy and respect for others. We offer options tailored to meet the needs of Preschoolers, Toddlers, and Infants (parent-child). We also have afternoon programs (including kindergarten after-school care) and summer day camps.

The Infant Program
Our weekly two hour facilitated playtime welcomes children under the age of two and their parent or caregiver. This engaging setting invites families of very young children to build a bridge from home to an early childhood community. The infant group meets Monday afternoons from 3-5 PM.
We believe that play is the primary vehicle for learning. Music, movement, stories, dramatic play, gardening, nature walks, and cooking spark cognitive development, creating a foundation for future learning areas such as math, science, social studies and health. Toddlers are enrolled two, three or five days per week from 8:30 � 12:00. (Early drop-off is available at 7:45. Days may also be extended.

The Preschool Program (3 to 5 years old)
Peopleplace provides developmentally appropriate learning for preschoolers, as well. Young children naturally seek out new direction and detail as they investigate their world. Our program allows for individual exploration, emphasizing problem solving, collaboration, listening to one another, and learning to engage in the meaningful exchange of ideas. These skills prepare a child for a successful experience in elementary school. Preschoolers enroll two, three, or five days per week from 8:30-12:00. (Early drop-off is available at 7:45. Days may also be extended. Scroll down to ‘In the Afternoon’ below.) The preschool program provides a five to one child/adult ratio.

. . . in the Afternoon (NEW)
In a relaxed, open ended atmosphere children in the afternoon explore projects over time or play in groups or individually. Kindergarten children arrive on the bus, just after lunch, to enjoy afternoons with younger friends or siblings.

Parents are always welcome at Peopleplace, but generally there are no parent helpers during this part of the day.
