I feel very lucky to get a spot for my infant little one here. They are on top of things. The atmosphere in the infant room is very calm and collected. Their system and the app they use (brightwheel) is very good. It helped us feel at ease since we get updated on what's happening with our baby throughout the day. Their rate is also very reasonable.

This is the first daycare facility we have ever sent our boys to full time. The director, Zoe, is a sweetheart and actually cares and spends time with the children at the facility. My sons are doing much better with the transition than I could’ve expected and their teachers are a part of what makes it so great. Ms. Amanda and Ms. Catie get high praises from both my boys. We get pictures throughout the day that give me peace of mind and the boys do a lot of educational activities. It’s really cool when they come home talking about the things they learned that day. We felt really uncomfortable in the past and have always kept our boys at home but now they need to start getting ready for kindergarten and they need more stimulation than we can give them. I think Stay n Play does that.

Our son has been going to Stay & Play for over a year now. He started in their 2 year old classroom and is now Preschool (3). We are so thankful and blessed to have found Stay & Play. The staff are absolutely wonderful. Immediately when my son started I had such confidence and peace of mind. I have NO doubt that he is being cared for and loved while he is at school. He comes home every day sharing about how much he loves his teachers and everything he learned and did during the day. He knows them by name, and they know him too. The administrators are TOP NOTCH as well. They are professional, organized, the center is clean, well cared for. We could not ask for more. They use the Brightwheel app to communicate throughout the day when needed, we get photo updates, and always know what our little man is doing. Our billing is set up through the app too on an auto schedule and is SUPER convenient. We can't wait for our twin girls to start in September. Our son is learning and growing so much there. Editing as an update since it's been a while. Our son is now in kindergarten and was set up for success with all of his years at stay and play. Our twins (now 2) and our 1 year old all attend stay and play now. I can't express enough the peace of mind we have knowing our littles are loved and cared for. The staff at stay and play are amazing. Our children absolutely adore them. We will not leave New Kent until our kids age out of Stay & Play because of how confident we are in their care and how much love, attention, and learning all of our children receive there.

Stay and play is the first daycare facility I’ve ever sent my child to. I have three kids and my youngest is the first child to go to daycare and I’m so glad we chose stay and play for the time that she spent there and all of her teachers, we received pictures every day we got updates every day, I wish we could’ve stayed at this facility and hopefully we will be back but if you’re looking for a great daycare with a great owner, the kind of staff Tuesday and play

I can not say enough great things about Stay and Play! I feel so comfortable and confident my child is in great hands when I drop him off. His teachers love him so much and he is so happy to see them when he is dropped off. He has learned so much from attending Stay and Play and I am so happy with our experience here.
