Bennett Family Center

The Bennett Family Center program is based on the belief that we are an extension of the family. We are strongly committed to working with children and families. As early childhood educators, we believe it is critical for us to understand the needs and values of parents so that we can best serve their children.

The Bennett Family Center, completed in 2001, was made possible by a generous gift from Edna Peterson Bennett Pierce '53. Her interest in and commitment to quality programming for young children have been actualized in the design of a building with a playful interior emphasizing light and openness.

At The Bennett Family Center, we see the curriculum as everything that happens in a day. From forming strong relationships to creating routines infused with joy and learning to exploring the inquiries of growing minds, each moment of the day is thoughtfully planned and intentionally enriched to meet the needs of each child. 

The Bennett Family Childcare Center administrative staff have worked side by side for many years and together make the Bennett Family Childcare Center function like a well-oiled machine.
