Parents have positive things to say about the care their children receive at the Play and Learn Center:
- "I was so nervous sending my children to a public daycare, but after talking with my son, he absolutely loves it and I know my 12 week-old son is spoiled rotten there by the staff. I can tell that they treat the children like family."
- "This has been a good learning and group experience for my son. He loves going to daycare and I feel he gets lots of love and attention from all the great staff. Thank you."
