PCC Voted Metro Philly's Best

The Penn Children's Center is honored by this recognition and grateful to provide best-in-class care and learning through play and exploration.

“Penn Children’s Center exemplifies what high-quality early childhood education should look like within a university and community setting,” said Ray Bates, Executive Director of the University of Pennsylvania Division of Business Services, which oversees our facility. “The team’s commitment to creating a nurturing, inclusive, and engaging environment is felt by every family it serves. Director Heather MacDermott-Havey, the administrative team, and—most importantly—the teaching staff lead with extraordinary care and dedication. Their passion for learning and child development shines through in every classroom and every interaction. This honor reflects their professionalism, heart, and the trust that families place in them every day.”
