Hear What Parents Have To Say...

We love Pre-K and Play!!!!! My son started attending at 2.5 years old with no prior daycare experience. He absolutely blossomed at Pre-K and Play and started talking up a storm and making lots of friends. He loves all the teachers, has learned so many skills, and is progressing so well as a preschooler now...
Highly recommend!!!

My children have been going here for several years now. The staff is amazing. So kind and willing to help. Our kids wake up every day asking to go to school and see their teachers. It makes me feel so much better knowing they love their teachers and look forward to seeing them daily.

- Michelle Kloppenborg

We are beyond happy with Pre-K & Play Academy. Bringing our daughter here was one of the best decisions ever, we wish we would of done it sooner! The director and staff are incredibly caring and amazing! Every time I pick up my daughter, the staff are ALWAYS interacting with the children in their care. They have exceeded our expectations! Thank you!

We have had our daughter there for 6 yrs. She is in kindergarten but utilizes the transportation, before/after school care and out of school days. She learned soooo much in her years there, but most importantly, they really prepared her for kindergarten in the PreK program. The teachers, staff, director and owner are all incredible!
