while Encouraging play

We wholeheartedly believe in the power of play as a fundamental aspect of childhood development. Play is not just fun; it’s the primary way children learn about themselves, others, and the world around them. That’s why we prioritize and encourage play in all its forms. From imaginative games to constructive activities, our curriculum is designed to foster creativity, social skills, and problem-solving abilities through play. Our dedicated educators facilitate opportunities for unstructured play as well as structured activities, ensuring that children have the freedom to explore, experiment, and discover at their own pace. Whether it’s building with blocks, pretending in the dramatic play area, or engaging in outdoor adventures, play is woven into every aspect of our program. At The Great Play Place, we celebrate the joy of play and recognize its vital role in nurturing happy, healthy, and well-rounded children.

Hands-on discovery for all ages

what our parents have to say ...

We love the Great Play Place! Our almost 3 year old has grown so much from this daycare. At his last daycare he was bored and was acting up. This place understands that he is a toddler and has big emotions in a little body. He is allowed to be a kid. He loves his teachers and his classmates. He is learning so much. They offer a lot at this place! They even want to understand how the parents are doing. They are so caring all around. I cant put into words how grateful I am of this place. Thank you!

Absolutely love this place! My son has been coming here for just over a month and he loves it too! He smiles when he see's his teacher, any one of them in fact, and reaches out to them! He's only 10 months old and yet they have included him in arts and crafts, such as hand prints and feet prints on a clover for St. Patrick's day and a bunny for Easter! Super cute! They always make sure he eats and naps. He's currently learning how to walk and he's making such progress because of them! Thank you all that work there and make sure this is a fun and safe place for my child to be while I'm at work!!! Strongly recommend!!!

The Great Play Place is a place with teachers of patience, kindness, and respect. My son is new to child care and he is a total momma’s boy! The first child care we tried terminated him due to him not being as independent and unattached to me as they would have liked. He wasn’t having the easiest time transitioning from being with me everyday and they just didn’t want to out yo with the process it would take for him to get comfortable …. But God works in mysterious ways. One day I was at the thrift store with him and he was crying bc he couldn’t get his way , and randomly a young lady walked up to me and asked me if he was in child care . I explained what happened and she suggested I try the Great Play Place and I jumped in it because it was hard finding a place that would work with him . I called and set up a tour ASAP! I explained his previous experience and off rip Ms. Kayla was more than willing to listen AND explain their procedures here , reassure me he was just reacting the way a child does, and told me they would be more than willing to help me with him . She made me feel like this was the right place for him because all he needed was patience and care , and since day 1, they’ve taken their time with letting him adjust .He is doing soooo much better here and they always always update me on his daily activities and send me pictures which really help me ease my mind knowing he is in great hands . I am VERY grateful for the staff . They always have great attitudes , they always greet me with energy, and any request I ask for they respectfully work with me. I have even gotten help with my other child’s behavior from this staff , they are truly willing to help where ever they can. Thank you all for your TLC with my baby boy ! I recommend this place to all my friends with kids . I’m excited to see his progress as he grows here !
