Play and Learn
Children’s Place
Play is often talked about as if it
were a relief from serious learning. But
for children, play is serious learning.
Play is really the work of childhood!
Fred Rogers, aka Mr. Rogers.

Learning through Play is our passion.
Play and Learn strives to build the best environment for children to play and learn. Our wonderful team of teachers, the environment itself and our teaching practices create an environment for all our children to thrive.
What They Say
My kids have been attending play and learn since fall of 2021. The staff are great at communicating with me throughout the day keeping me informed on how my kids are doing. It is easy to tell they all love their jobs and adore each and every child that comes through the doors! We felt welcome from the first time we toured the building! Definitely recommend Play and Learn for any age :) jasmine gray2024-09-16 Let me tell you all about Play & Learn in Saline (at the old Saline Hospital). My family has been part of the P&L family for over 7 years and it is truly that, a family. The staff have become friends, I enjoy chatting with everyone at pickup. My youngest cries most days when it's time to leave. Class sizes are small, intimate, and focused on building good little humans. There are intergenerational activities thanks to P&L's proximity to the Saline Evangelical Home. If you're near Saline and looking for great childcare, check out P&L!! Lauren Anthony Hodapp2024-09-13 Our son has attended Play and Learn for the past 3 years and it’s been a wonderful experience. The staff and teachers are so caring and supportive and very responsive to any questions or needs. Our son enjoys plenty of activities that help develop essential skills and knowledge and spends a lot of time enjoying the outdoors. They offer weekly field trips in the summer months which is such a great benefit. We would recommend Play and Learn to any family seeking attentive, well-rounded, and loving care! Kate Sasamoto2024-09-06 We have had kids at Play and Learn for over 4 years and highly recommend it as a childcare option. There are so many aspects of Play and Learn that we love: plenty of time outdoors, art projects with new and different materials, fun educational games that are age appropriate for the kids so that they learn to love learning, etc. Our kids are happy and thriving at Play and Learn. From a parenting perspective, the director, assistant director, and our kids' teachers have been an invaluable resource for us as we navigate various stages with our kids. It's a huge bonus for us as well that they offer before and after care during the school year, and will transport our oldest to and from school. We feel lucky to have such reliable, quality childcare. Annie Gibbs2024-08-07 Our family absolutely loves Play and Learn! Both of our kids adore their teachers and classmates, and we are constantly surprised by all the new things they’re learning. We appreciate the center’s overall philosophy and approach to care and feel we are very much a part of a strong and loving community. We would definitely recommend Play and Learn to other families (as it was recommended to us!). ☺️ Michelle2024-08-06 Play and Learn has been such a godsend as a working (anxious) mom! My son has been attending part time since 15 weeks and he loves it so much. The staff has always been very caring and responsive with my son’s needs and facilitate great learning/sensory experiences. I really appreciate all of the frequent updates through the brightwheel app throughout the day; it puts my mind at ease to see my son so happy and engaged! As someone who lives and works in Saline, P&L has been a great choice and I would recommend. Karelia Viitala Williams2024-07-18 I can’t speak highly enough of Play and Learn. My son has been with them since he was 3 months old, and he has flourished here. Listing off all the positives would take forever but here are some highlights: the sensory play, the social interactions with children older and younger, the regular monthly visits with the “grandmas and grandpas” upstairs. The staff provide an incredibly safe, warm, and nurturing environment. I love how communicative they are — I get little updates & pictures of whatever antics he’s up to throughout the day. 😆 Megan Wolfe2024-06-05 We loved our experience here. We wish we didn’t have to move and leave this daycare. Everyone there was awesome and we’ve yet to find a daycare that compares in terms of the nurturing environment and attentive staff. All of the outdoor time and sensory play was awesome for our child. Mindea Skinner2022-08-13

"Wonderful organization that focuses on both children's need to play and desire to learn. They value diversity. Was family owned, now, I believe, the employees are carrying the torch. All of my children cherish the memories from Play & Learn, and those experiences set them up for academic achievement in public schools."
