Trusted Child Care When You Need It

A pioneer of play and inquiry based child care

Wanna Play Playcare is a pioneer of play and inquiry child care. We know that the life of a parent is hectic and unpredictable – to say the least – and having access to affordable, high-quality daycare where your child is free to explore and create can be an absolute lifesaver.

Wanna Play Playcare is available to care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. All you have to do is enroll, and you’re free to enjoy our services any time!

Flexible Daycare that Fits Your Schedule

In addition to part-time preschool, fulltime care and after school care, we welcome you to make a reservation or simply call to see if there’s an open spot whenever you need it. For infant care, a reservation is always recommended to ensure a spot for your baby.

Our bill-to-the-minute system means you’re only paying for the care you need and not a minute more. Every family has different needs, and you can customize your Wanna Play program to suit yours.

Why Play is in the Name

Children are born with an astonishing ability to learn and develop, and our goal is to inspire your child to learn, grow, and explore through creative play! Early childhood development researchers widely agree that the most important period of human development occurs between birth and 8 years of age. We give your child the chance to move, create, connect, and freely explore in our no-walls play centers.

A Fun Place for Your Child to Create and Explore!

Learning through play is all about bringing joy, creativity, imagination, and collaboration into the learning process. When children can learn through play in a safe, fun, encouraging environment, their dazzling inner brilliance naturally comes out!

Children are hands-on learners. As a parent, you probably know this better than anyone! We love helping kids explore new activities, build their confidence, connect with other children, and grow through joyful play. Our drop-in daycare centers are full of fun, stimulating activities that your child can freely explore, including:

  • Building with blocks and loose parts
  • Playing ball sports
  • Yoga and dance
  • Dramatic play
  • Arts and crafts
  • No-bake cooking exercises
  • Story-time
  • Board games and video games
  • Outdoor play
  • And so much more!

A Safe Place to Learn and Grow

Wanna Play Playcare Centers are designed for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. Unlike many other daycare centers, we carefully designed our curriculum and activities to ensure that each age group can play and learn in a safe, comfortable environment that sparks their creative imaginations and challenges them to grow and build their confidence.

Our playcare centers are staffed with fully screened, trained, and experienced professionals who are passionate about fostering a warm, comfortable atmosphere for every child and parent. We’re more than just a daycare center – we’re a comfortable second home for your child!

We want to show kids that being in a learning environment can be a fun, joyful experience so that they’re ready to jump into kindergarten with both feet. We focus on promoting listening and comprehension skills, developing motor skills and coordination, encouraging healthy socialization, furthering reading readiness and math skills, and concentrating on critical problem-solving.

Flexible Programs & Enriching Experiences

Our flexible preschool program allows you to choose the days and times your child attends preschool so that it works for both of you. Our unique balance of teacher-led activities and child-led play allows every child to blossom in a safe, supportive environment.

We want to show every child that walks through our doors just how bright and intelligent they already are. We’ve seen how a child’s confidence and self-esteem can flourish when they’re encouraged to experiment, create, and explore. We can’t wait to help your child learn and grow at Wanna Play!
