The health, safety and education of each child is Playcare’s top priority.  Each center offers opportunities to develop social and recreational skills while providing many varied learning experiences.  Each classroom utilizes toys, playground equipment, reading materials, and carefully researched educational curriculum which is most beneficial for the specific needs of each age group.  Communication between the staff and parents provides a vital link for the growth and development of each child.  When families and caregivers work together the continuity for the child is enhanced.  All Playcare facilities have an open door policy to allow parents and prospective parents to visit the facilities throughout the day.  Every visitor must report to the main office before proceeding to ensure the safety of the children.
