The program features weekly themes and a diverse, multicultural curriculum based on the principles of early childhood education. A 4,000 square foot outdoor playground with infant, toddler and pre-school equipment is directly accessible through the main classroom corridor. Convenient drop-off parking is available immediately in front of the building. PCC requires all teaching staff to be highly trained with expertise in early childhood education.
All staff receive on-going safety and curriculum training.
Applications are now being accepted for the Penn Children's Center's expanded enrollment. While several classrooms still have wait-lists, there are some slots available. Each year the Penn Children's Center and Division of Human Resources set aside funds to reduce the cost of the program for qualified Penn staff. Fee assistance applications will also be accepted at this time.
