Play-Based Learning Nurtures Every Aspect of Development

Play-Based Learning Nurtures Every Aspect of Development

Our play-based learning approach stimulates holistic growth, engaging your little one’s mind, body, and spirit. Through hands-on experiences, they develop critical thinking, creativity, and social skills in a fun and supportive environment, ensuring they thrive academically and socially-emotionally.

Benefits of Play-Based Learning for One-Year-Olds:

Sparks Curiosity
and Exploration

Play encourages your child to explore their environment, experiment with new objects, and discover how things work.

Develops Motor Skills

Crawling, climbing, and stacking blocks help your child develop gross and fine motor skills, coordination, and balance.

Boosts Language Development

Through songs, rhymes, and pretend play, your child learns new words, improves communication, and starts to express their needs and wants.

Enhances Social-Emotional Skills

Playing with others helps your child learn to share, take turns, and interact with their peers, building the foundation for social-emotional intelligence.

Fosters Creativity and Imagination

Play allows your child to use their imagination, express themselves creatively, and develop problem-solving skills.

A State-Approved, STEM-Based Curriculum

Our engaging, state-approved STEM curriculum sparks curiosity and creativity through play-based activities. By incorporating hands-on, interactive lessons, we inspire a love for learning that transcends traditional methods. With a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), your child builds essential skills for a bright future.

Hear What Parents Have To Say

I have no worries and My baby loves getting dropped off He goes straight...

I have always been skeptical of leaving my kids at a daycare specially when they’re so small and can’t tell us what going on I brought my baby to this daycare and I’m so grateful I did. I love this daycare. I love the staff. I love the way I have a piece of mine on my child is safe. I love the way they treat my baby even though they do activities. I have no worries and My baby loves getting dropped off He goes straight to any of the ladies! I honestly cannot complain about anything! I truly think these women for taking care of my child like he they own!!!!

If you’re considering this daycare I’d absolutely recommend giving them a chance...

Great Play Place is the perfect name for this daycare. My kids have been attending since 2022 and they always have a happy disposition when I come to pick them up. During the summer they often have some kind of craft they worked on during the day. The owner Ms.Victoria is extremely caring and attentive to the kids and parents. She’s always been swift to handle my concerns, even replying to my emails outside of business hours. If you’re considering this daycare I’d absolutely recommend giving them a chance. You won’t be disappointed.

They are very involved with the children and love them as their own...

The great play place is an awesome place for children. I love their communication when it comes to my children and what’s going on with them, I love being in the loop when it comes to my kids. I also love that they love my autistic kid and treat him like the other children. They are very involved with the children and love them as their own. My children have been with them going on 2 years now.

The director is very kind to the children and parents and always greets me...

My daughter has been attending this daycare. I trust her teachers, because they make sure to inform me if she gets hurt or if she is misbehaving. The director is very kind to the children and parents and always greets me when she sees me. This daycare used to be at a smaller building so even with the transition to a bigger building and more staff this daycare still has my trust. My daughter has hit the “biting phase” that I am trying to work with behavioral specialist with and it has nothing to do with the daycare as they are very supportive and work with my child on trying to get through her milestones.

All the staff is absolutely amazing and have gone above and beyond to help my kids...

My daughter has been with the great play place since was two, she is now 4 and is still attending, she absolutely loves it there and asks to go to school everyday even sometimes on weekends and talks about Mrs Latavia and how great she is. Mrs Victoria and All the staff is absolutely amazing and have gone above and beyond to help my kids. I also have a 1 yr old that has been attending since he was 3 months and loves mrs Katrice 🙂

This place understands that he is a toddler and has big emotions in a little body...

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!

He's only 10 months old and yet they have included him in arts and crafts...

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. 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!!!
