Mission Statement
PPEDP provides a vital link between school and home where children are cared for, respected and taught to respect others and themselves.

PPEDP is a non-profit organization established by parents to meet the childcare needs of Percy Priest School families. PPEDP has a policy of non-discrimination on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnic origin, age or physical capabilities.

Program Philosophy
At PPEDP we endeavor to duplicate the home routine of your child before or after his/her normal school day. We recognize that children are individuals with differing needs, interests and abilities. We accommodate these differences by offering a variety of activities.

PPEDP provides a balance between adult-directed and child-directed free play. The children have the freedom to choose where to go, but are given guidelines as to when they can move from one place to another. Some children choose to play alone, while others may play with a small group of friends. We support a child’s choice of activity as long as it is compatible with our safety rules and the group setting.

Tiger Club Hours of Operation
PPEDP begins operation the first day of school and continues its quality childcare through the end of the school year. The program operates from 7:00am until start of school and from dismissal until 6:00pm.

Tiger Club Staff
Our staff meets the requirements set forth by the Tennessee Department of Human Services Child Care Division. Prior to employment, all staff members have had three reference checks and have submitted fingerprints for TBI and FBI criminal background checks. Each staff member is CPR and First Aid certified by the American Red Cross. Further, each staff member attends an additional 18 hours of training each year on topics such as communication, developmentally appropriate practice and behavior management.
