About Us- Where we play to learn and learn to play!
Welcome to Play and Thrive Academy where we believe all children should have fun while learning. Play is an important part of a child’s development, so we pride ourselves in maintaining a safe and fun learning environment for your child.
Our center focuses on providing care that promotes all domains of development: physical, language, socio-emotional and cognitive. With the focus of care being on promoting all areas of your child’s development in a safe environment, your children will be better prepared for kindergarten.
