Our Mission
We dedicate ourselves to providing a safe, secure and encouraging environment for the healthy growth and development of each child.
We encourage self directed exploration and learning. The children are encouraged to be creative and expressive in their learning and play based experiences. Playtime Academy also provides an environment that is similar to home which helps the children to feel comfortable and safe. Playtime Academy is more than a childcare center, we are a family; your home away from home. We strive to meet all of your child care needs!
PLAYTIME ACADEMY
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
At Playtime Academy, we believe “education” and/or “teaching” is “to draw from within”. Our center is full of hands-on opportunities for children to experience and discover their world in a loving, peaceful and consistent environment that encourages them to explore and play. A teacher must plan activities and respond to children’s ever-changing needs through a responsive curriculum designed to build their thinking skills.
Our goal is for children to gain independence, to understand order, to make their own decisions, to feel confident about themselves and become life- long learners. We focus on the developmental approach to learning with much social interaction.
HOW WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION
We pledge ourselves to:
Meeting the individual needs of each child.
- Our teachers will demonstrate warmth, sensitivity and respect for the children. Teachers will be aware of social and cultural differences.
- We will focus on self-directed, developmentally appropriate learning activities that encourage children to learn and explore.
- We will provide a loving, safe and secure environment for children.
Health & Wellbeing
Playtime Academy is one of a few early learning centers to upgrade their ventilation air system as COVID-19 invaded our country. The Air Oasis UV filtration system includes coverage for over 14,000 square feet of purified air, providing ample coverage for our 11,000 square foot facility. Research has shown various bacteria respond to ultraviolet light. While we make no promise the current pandemic virus may be killed by our Air Oasis UV system, we are confident our indoor air quality will provide a superior health environment for all.
Notifying families of any childhood diseases that may be at a high risk in our community will be posted through our communication system. For example, should RSV be more prevalent than usual, you will be notified of the disease, given the symptoms, and suggested medical instructions, such as contacting your pediatrician.
Should your child have need for special attention to health issues, Playtime Academy will require a “Plan of Care” from your child’s attending physician or therapist. This will be discussed individually with each family during the enrollment process.
