August 17, 2020 By Communications Coordinator

Welcome new & returning Patti’s families!

We are thrilled to welcome you & your child to the 2020-21 Patti’s school year.

There will be an open house on Wednesday, September 2nd from 10am-12. We invite you & your child to come to school & meet the teachers. We will be gathering outside on the playground and teachers will be taking small groups on a guided tour of the classroom. We ask that anyone attending over the age of 5 wear a mask even if they are outside on the playground.

There are still spots available at Patti’s, so please spread the word to your friends.

Patti’s Play Center is a non-profit organization that operates because of a volunteer parent board. Please consider volunteering – we could use your expertise!

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Thank you,

affordable, convenient, part-time childcare

Patti’s Play Center provides a nurturing and well-supervised social environment where children are encouraged to develop new friendships and explore interests at their own pace. Offering part-time childcare programs for 2–4 year olds, Patti’s Play Center fills a unique niche. Patti’s is not a daycare or a preschool, but a structured play center designed to both prepare young children for their first preschool experience, and complement an older child’s preschool schedule.
