Graduation 2026 🎓

Graduation is always one of the most bittersweet days at IPELC.

For many of these children, IPELC has been part of their lives since they were babies. They’ve grown up here, made their first friends here, learned through play here, and created relationships we hope they’ll carry with them long after they leave our classrooms.

Congratulations, graduates!

Child-led storytime. 📚💛

There’s something pretty wonderful about watching children step into the roles they see modeled for them every day. Taking a turn in the teacher’s chair builds confidence, language skills, imagination, and apparently, a very attentive audience. 🥰

At IPELC, sometimes the best learning happens when we let the children lead. 💙

Nine years of caring for some of the tiniest members of the IPELC family. 💙

We truly believe she is one of the best, and we are so fortunate that for the past 9 years, she has chosen to share that talent with our babies and families.

Happy 9th anniversary, Ms. Gloria! 💙

Some goodbyes are harder than others. 💙

Today was the last day at IPELC for many of our Pre-K friends, and their teachers made sure they knew just how loved they are.

Come back and visit us we’ll always love seeing how much you’ve grown! 🥹

Once an IPELC kid, always an IPELC kid. 💙

Dreaming big on their last days at IPELC. 💛🎓

As many of our preschoolers get ready to head off to kindergarten, we asked them one very important question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

We’ve had the privilege of watching so many of these children grow from infants into the smart, funny, confident little people they are today. Now they’re off to their next big adventure and we can’t wait to see who they become.

Dream big, Class of 2026. The future is yours! ✨

Building lifelong friendships 💛

Many families choose childcare because they want their little ones to have opportunities to socialize, play, and learn alongside other children. But what they may not realize is just how meaningful those early friendships can become.

Many of our children begin at IPELC as infants and grow up together—moving from classroom to classroom, celebrating birthdays and milestones, and eventually heading off to kindergarten side by side.

And because so many of our families live right here in the neighborhood, those friendships often don’t end when their time at IPELC does. Our children frequently go on to the same local schools, carrying friendships that began in our classrooms and on our playground with them into their next chapter. 💛

At IPELC, they’re not just growing up. They’re growing up together.

Our Annual Block Party ☀️

Rain or shine, we know how to have a good time! ☔️🎉

We had so much fun celebrating the end of summer with our IPELC families at our Block Party! From the bounce house and slime station to delicious food, raffles, and lots of messy fun, we loved getting to spend the day together and make some special memories before saying goodbye to summer! 🌈
