Welcome to Play to Learn Childcare! Hi! Thank you for your interest in our childcare center. Whether you are changing childcare or starting childcare for the first time, I understand that it can be overwhelming for both the parents and children involved. Looking for childcare that meets your child's needs and at the same time finding a provider that you feel you can trust with your child can be nerve-racking. I feel it is very important for the parents and the provider to have a very open and friendly relationship to best meet the needs of the children. At Play to Learn Childcare, the team believes that every child is unique. Each child should receive the opportunity to develop social and emotional skills that will help them grow. Our nurturing childcare environment provides each child with the one-on-one attention that will help them to learn important life skills such as respecting others, sharing, polite manners, following instructions, responsibility, emotional control, and problem management. We use an emergent curriculum to educate the children on key learning concepts including colors, counting/math skills, and early literacy. A bonus is a vocabulary in English and Spanish! We allow children to learn through play and guide them to understand these concepts.

Melisha M. says "My son was comfortable and so was I. We never had any issues and if something came up they would always call and communicate. The staff was great and the...

Hi my name is Victoria! I run an at home daycare. I consider myself to be so lucky to be able to work with children doing what I love everyday! I have a very fun interactive learning environment. I am not strict or mean but I do make sure that everyone is safe and has fun while learning. Everyday we go over the day of the week, the weather, our letter of the week, and our numbers. We have a lot of play time, with coloring, toys, blocks, and age specific activities. When the weather is good we have tons of outside time. We do not watch TV. Once a week we have a movie afternoon. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up an appointment to meet. Thanks, Vicki! *FYI there is a dog in the house so if there are allergies I just wanted to give you a heads up!
