This is my second-day care. My first was a nightmare. Play and Learn is wonderful! My child is excited to see his teachers and sometimes hides when I pick him up! It makes me know he loves it there and is comfortable. He also loves activities and how they make learning fun!

We absolutely love this school. We have two children currently enrolled and they both couldn't be happier going to school every day. The teachers do a fantastic job of creating age-appropriate curriculums and are constantly coming up with new activities for the children to participate in. The teachers are all highly attentive and form individual bonds with each child. I highly recommend this school.
