PLAY offers child care for children ages 3 months – 24 months in our infant center. The infant centers hours are 8:00am – 6:00pm Monday – Friday. Parents may drop off or pick up at any time within these hours. In these classrooms our youngest children have their own space where they may explore in a space that is both warm, safe and inviting. Here parents and caregivers work together to create an environment that works best for your individual child. Each child is assigned to a primary caregiver who will update parents with real time activities, pictures, videos and 2 way messages allowing parents to feel engaged and informed. Children in the infant program are separated into two groups. Our smaller infants belong to our Lime classroom. This room is for little ones who are still on 2 naps a day and not yet exploring the world. Here extra care is given to ensure the daily need of our youngest are met as they begin to develop their own muscle strength with tummy time and learning how to crawl and walk. Children who are over 12/15 months are assigned to our Lemon Classroom. Here our movers and shakers may engage in a room that is build for young children who love to explore the world around them. The Lemon children are able to walk and take 1 nap per day. Our outdoor space is their playground as they begin to explore and learn how to make new friends. Both of the infant classrooms are comprised of 4 main areas. Our cozy area is where soft toys and padded flooring are placed for little ones to cuddle up and enjoy some snuggle time. Our exploration area where children may crawl through tunnels or play with age appropriate puzzles and toys. Our dramatic play area where your child may play with pretend food and dress up in fun clothing. Finally, our nap room where they may recharge in their own crib/ cot. The infant outdoor playground is covers in artificial turn and outdoor mats ensuring your little one has a safe yet active space. There are dozens of bikes and cars for little ones to ride. Small slides for our older infants to climb and an outdoor garden where children may explore planting fruits and veggies and enjoy seasonal blooming flowers.

PLAY offers a preschool program for children ages 3-4 years of age. The preschool program is designed to provide an enriched developmental curriculum that will foster children’s dispositions to be curious and involved learners who are active participants in constructing their knowledge of the world. To support the child’s construction of knowledge, teachers support child-initiated engagement and experimentation with a variety of materials based on the our development curriculum and child’s interest level and ability. Children are encouraged to develop ideas over time, to deepen their understanding of the natural and social world by questioning, exploring and representing ideas through various creative mediums. Indoor and outdoor activities expose the children to art, science, music, dramatic play, and language development on a daily basis. Being part of a shared community is actively encouraged. Center teachers emphasize cooperation and create classroom groups that develop concern for each other as they problem solve and work together. Curriculum is carried out with the belief that children are learning at all times and that the teacher’s role is to facilitate and enrich the learning process.
