Our son is so happy there, we have so many pictures and great memories. 4.5 years... We first brought our son to EPC (aka "Duck School") when he was 6 months old - hell be 5 in about 6 weeks. The EPC environment is incredibly welcoming; throughout his time here I was able to spend time with our son during the day if I wanted to, and we often hung out in the school for some time after pick up (30-90 minutes, because he loved hanging out there; sometimes we have to drag him out because EPC was closing). We withdrew him to put him into the towns Pre-K. He did great there, it seemed like he was more than prepared both scholastically as well as socially. Due to my new job we needed the extended hours that EPC offered (as well as the fact that they dont close unless its actually really bad out, unlike the public schools). Therefore we went back to EPC after one semester in Pre-K. He absolutely loves it at EPC. He knows the teachers, loves seeing them out in public, has learned so many great habits. EPC sends pictures of him during the day which are on an app so we can view them on our phone or download via email - its sort of like a private Facebook timeline for just him. Its great to see him in his element. I absolutely recommend EPC to any new parent. EPC must be short for EPIC because its such a great place.

Schools and teachers arent supposed to have or choose "favorites". Educational Playcare, Simsbury, had a hard time following that concept so instead it seems they made every single one of their children their favorite! It was clear from day one that each of My sons teachers took time to truly get to know my son. As an educator myself, it was extremely important to choose a place that values best practice in early childhood education. The playbased approach I have seen even in the youngest of classrooms has proven to me that EPC-Simsbury has done their research and continues to grow exponentially in their quest to be the best! My schedule requires me to be at my own school quite early. EPC-Simsbury is beyond thoughtful and accommodates early schedules. I can drop my son off as early as 6:30 am! This allows me to get to my own students on time without a confusing and chaotic morning. I am beyond grateful for all that EPC has done for my family! We couldnt recommend it enough!

My son recently started pre-school at Educational Playcare after transitioning from another daycare center. The staff and teachers made it an easy transition and have been wonderful. We love the indoor "great room" they have for the kids to get their energy out when the weather does not allow play time outside and for use in other large group activities. Not having to pack snacks, milk, and lunches has been wonderful, as they provide it all. The Tadpole app they use to communicate about our sons day, send pictures, and videos, allows us to feel a part of his day and assists in continuing the learning at home. The curriculum is great too! So far, were very pleased with all that Educational Playcare has to offer!

I have an 11 month old baby who started there when she was 3 months old and all I can say is that I love it, I feel very confident to leave my baby at educational Playcare, the staff and particularly the teaches are great, they love the babies, my daughter is always happy to go there, and I also love the fact that they send the pictures of my baby throughout the day it makes me feel like I am there with her, I like the daily report e-mail after I pick her up and also all the activities that they do with the kids, my experience with EPC has been great.

We love educational playcare in Simsbury. Both our kids have been going there since they were 8 weeks old. The teachers are awesome and welcoming and they put us at ease. My son is now 3 and daughter is 18 months and they have a great time with all the activities at EPC. My son had a health issue since he was 18 months old and the teachers helped monitor him and kept me updated when he was not having good days. We are so glad we made the choice of going to EPC even though we had many other choices.

For our children, we love the great care that they receive and the variety of play environments, art, yoga and singing and dancing they enjoy. For us as parents, we love the convenience factor that EPC offers including providing all snacks and lunch along with a diaper service. We also greatly enjoy receiving multiple pictures of the kids throughout the day through the app/ email. It always gives a great feeling to see your little ones smiling and having fun!

Education Play Care has gone far beyond "daycare" for our daughter. We feel safe, comfortable, and supported, and know that our child is not only learning, but having fun, and honing important social skills. The daily photo updates and online Tadpoles program is a great way to stay informed on what is happening. The staff is friendly, professional, and goes above and beyond to ensure that we are cared for. Thank you, EPC!

We have been using Educational Playcare in Simsbury for almost 5 years. Both of our boys started at 8 weeks old and we are very pleased with the facility, staff, communication and program. Both boys have a genuine connection with the teachers and staff, and it is so comforting knowing that we are leaving them in good hands. Our older son is about to start kindergarten and he is very prepared. We highly recommend EPC!

This is a wonderful school to have your children attend. The staff is warm, caring, and passionate in helping your children learn while providing a safe and fun environment for them. They really do a great job with keeping the children engaged by providing tons of activities (outdoor play, large activity rooms, doing art projects, music games, etc). Highly recommend this amazing school.

We have had a wonderful experience at Educational Playcare in Simsbury. My son started there when he was 3 months old and is now in the toddler classroom. The teachers are outstanding. I have always felt so comfortable leaving him at EP. They really go above and beyond to meet the needs of every child. We couldnt be happier with our decision to enroll our child at EP.

My son loves his teacher so much he has called me "Ms. Sandra" at home! It is the best feeling to know when I cant be with him, my son is being loved and taught in a safe, bright, and developmentally appropriate environment. Having NAEYC accreditation was important to my husband and me, having the right amount of trucks to play with is important to him!

We are very happy with the educational experience provided for our children at Educational Playcare. We receive curriculum plans each Sunday night via email that allow us to connect with our children on the topics they will be learning about that week. Another benefit are the snacks and meals provided which are huge plus for two working parents!

Not only does my kiddo have a blast on a daily basis, he has learned SO much from the team. The teachers there truly care about every child and their education and he has learned valuable skills that will help him through Pre-K all the way to Kindergarten and beyond. Their facilities are also top notch with one of the best playgrounds around!
