Childspace Childspace is a daycare and early learning center for infants, toddlers and preschoolers in State College, Pa.

Children learn through play in our caring classrooms. Schedule a tour to find the right child care for your family. We offer care for children ages 0-6 in small class sizes with low ratios.

Every child arrives with their own personality, interests, and way of experiencing the world. Our job isn't to change who they are, but get to know them.

Families often tell us that what stands out most isn't just the activities or the classroom, but the relationships because when children feel known they feel safe — so they're free to grow!

It might look like "just playing."

But when a child spends time climbing a rock, they're doing much more than passing the time.

They're testing their balance, assessing risk, building confidence, strengthening muscles, problem-solving, and learning what their body can do.

At Childspace, we believe some of the most meaningful learning happens in moments that don't look like lessons at all.
