A Place For All Children To Learn
Welcome to Mason’s Place Too – A Home Away From Home for Every Child
At Mason’s Place Too (MPT), we celebrate every child’s uniqueness. Whether your child has autism, other special needs, or no additional needs at all, MPT offers a welcoming space where distinctive children can learn, grow, and thrive.
With over 25 years of experience in early childhood education, our team understands that no two children are alike—and we embrace that! Each member of our caring staff is CPR certified, ensuring that your child's safety and well-being are always our top priority.
Here at Mason's Place Too, we provide a safe, secure, and nurturing environment where children build a strong foundation for both academic and social success.
We believe in the power of individualized education, and we recognize that children learn in different ways. That’s why we proudly use the Creative Curriculum—a hands-on, research-based approach that encourages exploration, discovery, and development at every stage.
We take time to understand your child’s unique learning style and abilities, customizing each experience to meet their specific needs—whether they require extra support or simply a loving place to grow.
Because at Mason’s Place Too, we don’t just care for children—we champion their potential.

Research Based Curriculum
At Mason’s Place Too, we use The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool, a research-based approach that nurtures the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically. This dynamic framework supports development while sparking curiosity across core areas like literacy, math, science, social studies, the arts, and even technology.
More than just academics, The Creative Curriculum® is designed to meet children where they are—encouraging growth through everyday routines, hands-on experiences, and purposeful play. Whether a child is neurodivergent or neurotypical, our goal is to create an engaging environment where they feel safe, supported, and excited to learn in their own way, at their own pace.
At Mason’s Place Too, every moment becomes a meaningful opportunity to grow—and no two learning journeys look exactly the same. That’s the beauty of it.
