Preschool

High-Quality, Flexible Preschool

Wanna Play Playcare’s flexible preschool programs are open to children from 18 months to 5 years old. The life of a parent is hectic, and keeping your child on a rigid preschool schedule can feel next to impossible – especially when you have multiple kids, each with their own schedule! Wanna Play is the busy parent’s solution to high-quality, flexible preschool that’s focused on helping your children learn and get ready for kindergarten.

You can customize your preschool program to suit your child’s needs and your schedule, whether you want them to attend just a couple days a week or five days a week. We’ll help create something that works for you!

Play with a Purpose

Purposeful play is the best way for kids to learn and grow. Wanna Play’s preschool curriculum is designed around a finely-honed balance of child-led, open-ended play and teacher-led, structured activities. Your child can freely explore a wide variety of activities that will spark their creativity and curiosity before coming together for teacher-led story time, dramatic play, and other activities.

Through play, kids learn how to socialize, develop their communication skills, figure out how to think critically and solve problems, and develop their emotional literacy. By centering joyful, creative play, we show kids that being in a learning environment can be a fun experience, and they’ll be ready to take kindergarten by storm!

“Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.”

– O. Fred Donaldson

Snacks & Meals

Wanna Play Playcare centers offer complimentary snacks of animal crackers, cheerios and water at regular intervals between play time. We also have a menu of kid-friendly meals – including breakfast, lunch, and dinner options – that you and your child can choose from.

Or, if you’d rather send snacks and meals from home, that’s perfectly fine too! We’ll accommodate whatever preference you have, but we do ask that you don’t send any peanut products with your child for safety reasons.

Our staff takes food allergies extremely seriously, and once you disclose your child’s food allergies, we’ll take every precaution to make sure they don’t come in contact with triggering foods. Safety and security are always our top priority!
