Powered by GoogleFinding a daycare you can truly trust is one of the hardest parts of being a parent—but this center has exceeded every expectation I had and more. From the moment you walk in, you're always greeted with a smile. They create such a welcoming environment that you immediately feel at ease. The teachers are nothing short of incredible and their attention and care has definitely helped my daughter grow into a smart, daring, funny, curious little girl. The kitchen crew also deserves recognition for the thought and care they put into preparing meals. It’s comforting to know my daughter is being fed with the same level of attention and love she receives in the classroom. Most importantly, the peace of mind this daycare provides is priceless. I never worry when I drop my daughter off because I know she is safe, loved, and in the best hands possible. Seeing how happy she is every day says everything. I am beyond grateful for this entire team and I cannot recommend them enough.
Play Academy has been a wonderful place for our daughter. The staff are warm, attentive, and clearly care about each child. We’ve seen her become more comfortable around others, more curious, and excited to explore new activities. The environment feels safe, clean, and thoughtfully designed for little ones to learn through play. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she’s in such a nurturing and supportive space each day.
My 8 yr old was at play academy. When she went into preschool through the local school she was bored because she had already learned what they were teaching. I was so impressed with her care I made sure our newest grandchild enrolled. I appreciate the daily pictures of of structured learning and play. The staff is consistant...no frequent turn overs. My toddler granddaughter is in my care and she is excited to go to "school" every day and I appreciate the the support I get from her caregivers who appreciate the difficulties I may have as a 64yr old caring for a almost 3 year old. They really are family oriented
Play Academy has been the best place to care for my babys. The teachers of the center are really centrared to teach them and my kids loves that. Teachers are so lovable, comprehensive and have a great communication with me. I really recommend Play Academy for the care of your baby!
Very happy with our experience at Play Academy. They are very affordable, and the teachers and staff really try hard and care about the kids. The school currently uses the Bright Wheel app, which makes it easy to communicate with the teachers and receive updates throughout the day.
