Pilosophy & Program

We believe that the first school experience should be nurturing, fun and unpressured. 

At Playland, we combine short, structured activities interspersed around longer open classroom experiences for a well-balanced program.

Each class has a head teacher who plans the three hour morning to include outdoor play, circle time, indoor free choice time, art, music, story time, creative and dramatic movement, cooking, science, athletics and more.

Our loving staff provides an enriching program full of three-dimensional, hands-on activities.  At Playland, learning is fun because we learn by doing.  Our program is rich in play, math, science, literature, music and art.

Children are encouraged to play and learn and to grow and mature socially, emotionally, mentally and physically.
