Stay And Play Learning Center

My family has been a part of Stay and Play for about five years now and we absolutely love it. It's a smaller center which has in my opinion lead to it feeling more like a family than just a daycare. My son and now daughter have been treated amazingly by the staff and have enjoyed every single day of going. My oldest son did not attend and comparing to my younger son who did my younger son was more ready for kindergarten and academically challenged than my older son who actually attended a pre-K program that was a part of an elementary school. Picking a place to send your child can be extremely stressful but I couldn't be more thankful that we chose to become a part of Stay and Play and I would recommend it 10/10 to any family due it's great staff and overall fantastic environment.

My son has only been here a few months but I can see a huge positive difference in his personality. He is growing so well and changing every day. He loves coming here to see his teachers and friends. The staff is friendly and attentive. They do all kinds of cute projects with the kids. We have our son’s artwork on display at home that is sent home with him. Stay and Play utilizes an app called Procare. I receive updates throughout the day when my son eats, gets a diaper change, pictures of him having fun or working on a project. It’s a great way to keep parents informed on how their kids are doing. The app is easy to use and navigate. He is also signed in and out through the app. My mom picks him up during the day when I’m at work so I will get a notification when she signs him out. The facility is clean and organized and secure. It is cutely decorated with art the children have made and motivational quotes. The staff is professional, passionate and wonderful with the kids. They truly care about the wellbeing of our babies. It gives me a peace of mind dropping him off and knowing he’s in the best of hands.

My daughter started there when she was 3 years old. I couldn't believe how much she learned there. Everyday she came home telling me what she learned and how much fun she had with her teacher and friends. Never once did she ever scream and cry not wanting to go to school. The teachers are outstanding and I trust them fully with my child. I always recommend my family and friends to take their kids there. They as well love it too.

I once walked in to hear the teacher downstairs screaming at the babies (1 yo's) CLEAN UP YOUR TOYS!! I walked in to see her dragging a kid by his arm to a toy and shoving him towards it to pick it up. Yet when I walked in she turned into such a sweet lady. Staff sleeping on the floor with the kids during nap time? WTH? My son was teased here, ..since it's such a small center they mix the older kids in with the younger kids sometimes my son who wasn't having full blown conversations at that time in his life was unable to tell us that he was being teased by these older kids. Where were the teachers? Its not like it's a huge massive center that you can't see who is teasing whom. My kid when going to another center clung to us saying things like " Are you gonna protect me at this school?" "Will the big boys laugh at me at this school?" He still talks about the big boys at the other school being mean to him. Pizza day? Your given the option to OPT out but the kids all eat in front of one another so when my kids realized everyone else was getting pizza and what they were getting was 10 times less greasy and healthier they didn't want to eat. So I was forced to give these people money for nasty pizza. I don't remember how much it cost but it wasn't on par with the kind of pizza they served and my at the time 2 YO doesn't eat that much to justify the $4 ( I think) cost. I got numerous calls about my youngest constantly having diarrhea. Want to know why? Because they kept giving my child undiluted apple juice! Straight apple juice, when my kids don't get drinks like that they only get milk or water. I had to leave work numerous times to collect a sick child who wasn't really sick, but had the craps because they kept giving undiluted apple juice after I told them not to. I would come in to collect my kids to see the staff on the floor texting on their phones. Talking about hacking into their kids Facebook accounts. I was talked down to by the owner on quite a few occasions. They were here for a year and it's the biggest mistake I've ever made as a mother. I checked with the state and they've been in trouble for hiring people on staff that didn't have appropriate health records, etc. Maybe others have had better luck, maybe the people have changed since the year I had kids there but it STILL leaves a bad taste in my mouth and my son is STILL talking about the mean big boys. It's not the experience I wanted for my son.

Recently called trying to get information on tuition cost. The lady who answered the phone was extremely rude and refused to give me any information or help with anything unless I scheduled a tour. She wasn't helpful at all! Instantly, it was a turn-off because of how rude the lady was. I would never suggest this place to anyone!
