We are a state licensed childcare facility conveniently located off of Route 96 on Church St in the quaint village of Phelps, NY!

At Phelps Playschool, we are dedicated to shaping the social, emotional, and intellectual development of children in partnership with families in our community. We strive to m​aintain an environment that fosters inclusivity, kindness, individuality, and creativity to create empathetic, life long learners. 

Phelps Playschool is an educational, play-based preschool. In order to run a program exclusively catered to preschool age children, we accept ages 12 months- 5 years. We use a developmentally appropriate curriculum that is based on an understanding of children's individual interests and their current developmental needs. 

-Language & Literacy experiences support word development and pre literacy skills with circle time and story time.

-Children develop early math shills by counting, measuring, sorting, comparing, and classifying with hands on activities. 

-With both independent and structured exploration of art materials, children learn creativity & expression. 

-Fine Motor skills are developed through the use of manipulatives, sensory experiences, practical life and intentionally planned activities catered to a child's current skill level. 

-Science & social studies activities help children learn about their community and the world around them. 

-children's social development is gained through social interactions, following directions, taking turns, conversation, group speaking, and cooperation.
