Caring.
Rewarding.
Growing.

Plainfield Childcare is committed to providing a safe, fun, loving, and educational childcare program. We believe children learn best through hands-on play. Our teachers create intentional play activities from the children’s interests, strengths, and weaknesses. We believe parents and guardians are the children’s first teachers, so we strive to work with them to help each child reach their full potential.

About Us

Curriculum

We implement the industry leading Creative Curriculum which incorporates four key elements of development to ensure the growth of the whole child:

Social

Your child will communicate with others verbally and nonverbally to engage in the world around them. Your child will make new friends and gain the confidence, self-esteem, and negotiating skills necessary for a lifetime of healthy relationships.

Emotional

Children will enjoy a safe, nurturing "home away from home" where they can learn to express themselves and understand their own unique identities. Your child will gain the comfort and confidence to forge trusting relationships, value their individuality, and have fun just being him or herself.

Physical

We focus on the physical health and well-being of your child so he/she grows up safe and strong. Motor-skill development, coordination, mobility, and exercise all help ensure your growing child has a healthy body for a lifetime.

Intellectual

Our program helps build brain power by supporting the development of judgment, perception, memory, reasoning, critical thinking, and language through a series of age-appropriate cognitive activities. Reading, writing, and math are important and children learn by experiencing the world around them.

Testimonials

  • Our kids come home happy and excited to share what they learned. They love their providers, often going back for extra hugs before they leave for the day. We take comfort in knowing our kids are well cared for on a daily basis and the Procare app makes it easy to communicate with staff about the kids and any changes. The extras like spirit week, Zumba, and gymnastic classes are awesome too!

  • Our girls have been here for 4 years now and it is the best child care decision we have ever made! They run an amazing business and as working parent's we need the confidence and peace of mind that our children are in the best hands possible. The team puts together a safe and fun schedule of activities. We feel like part of the family!
