At Playtime Academy, our mission is to create a loving and nurturing environment rooted in the best practices of Early Childhood Education. Our program combines child-directed and adult-guided learning, emphasizing play-based activities and outdoor exploration to inspire curiosity, growth, and joy.
We look forward to supporting your child’s development and making this a positive experience for your whole family!
"Play is our brain's favorite way of learning." -Diane Ackerman
We offer a childcare and preschool program for children aged 18 months up to the start of Kindergarten that embraces a play-based and nature-inspired approach to learning. Through exploring a variety of art mediums, engaging in sensory and imaginative play, and spending time outdoors, children are encouraged to discover, create, and grow at their own pace.
Our program also supports kindergarten readiness and fosters growing independence by providing hands-on experiences that develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills. We believe that connecting with nature and learning through play are essential for healthy brain development and meaningful self-expression.
By offering these rich opportunities to children in our community, we aim to inspire a lifelong love of learning that will carry forward into their future educational endeavors.
"Art is a place for children to learn to trust their ideas, themselves, and to explore what is possible." -Maryann F. Kohl.
