Our Story & Our Mission
A play-based preschool and childcare center on Main Avenue, built on love, safety, and the belief that children learn best through play.
A Nurturing Place on Main Avenue
Playtime Academy serves children from infancy through school age in a nurturing, supportive environment designed to meet each child's physical, emotional, social, and cognitive needs. We are located on Main Avenue between Greenback Avenue and Madison Avenue.
We believe every child deserves to feel loved and welcome. Our teachers create a family friendly atmosphere where children are free to explore, build relationships, and grow at their own pace.
At Playtime Academy, we strive to provide a clean, safe, and loving environment using the best practices of early childhood education for the children in our care. Our focus is to provide child-directed and adult-directed hands-on experiences which promote each child's social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and educational development and to promote independence. We want all families at Playtime Academy to feel welcome and we want to promote a family friendly environment for all.
The Play-Based Philosophy
Play Is Learning
Children build skills, solve problems, and make sense of their world through hands-on play and exploration.
Loving and Welcoming
Every child and family is welcomed like our own, in a warm, family friendly environment.
Child-Directed and Adult-Directed
We balance child-led exploration with intentional, teacher-guided experiences that support growth.
Clean, Safe, and State Licensed
A clean, safe, and loving environment is at the heart of everything we do. We follow careful cleanliness and safety practices and maintain our state license so families can feel confident in our care.

A Family Friendly Community
We want all families at Playtime Academy to feel welcome. Throughout the year we host family events that bring our community together, from seasonal celebrations to special days on our calendar. It is one more way we help children and families feel at home.
