Most of our meals are cooked from scratch on site, fresh fruit and vegetables served daily. For infants we provide Similac Advance infant formula and Gerber Infant cereals, fruits, vegetable and meat items. This day care facility participates in the CACFP, a Federal program that provides healthy meals and snacks to children receiving day care services.
We are so pleased with Play Academy. Both Ana and Gabriel are having a great year in the infant and preschool programs. I feel that they are both well cared for in a safe, fun, healthy, educational environment. They both seem to really enjoy being there. I appreciate that they teachers know both kids well, and there is a lot of good communication about how they are doing.

My kids went here and everyday my oldest (3-4) would be so hesitant to go to class I would have to consol him and tell him I will pick him up after work. Everyday I dropped him off his younger teacher would complain about him not napping, his main teacher was fired and his new teacher gave me terrible vibes the way she treated my child. My youngest (about 1) would be starving every day I picked him up like screaming on the way home until we got home and I made dinner, also everytime I came into the class his bottle would be put up and he seemed so thirsty and hungry. I was pregnant at the time

If I could give 0 stars I would. My son went here for almost 3 years, and was mistreated badly! All of this started once Carmen started working here. Ms. Tatiana is after money ONLY and doesn't care about how staff is to the children. My sons teacher was caught on camera talking about him in very nasty, mean way, and all she did was switch his class to one with kids twice his age. He started getting bullied, came home with bruises all over his face, and when I said something to them about it they kicked him out for defending himself! Carmen is a new manager that just started there and is bringing

My kids attend this center. The daycare is very clean. Staff is very knowledgeable as well as have a wonderful community resources at hand if your family is in need. My child has cognitive developmental issues. They teamed up with TAP to provide wonderful service for my child. I would not trust anyone else with my child, they go over and beyond.

My son was having behavior problems. He was suggested to bring in a teacher for extra help a day a week for his behavior. She came one time on a Tuesday to observe and he was kicked out for bad behavior that Friday. A big reason was because he ran out an outside door from the classroom. Why one teacher with a class full of 2 and 3 year olds would leave an outside open and then blame a child because they should have known better is wrong. If the door would have been shut he couldn't have ran out. He wasn't given a chance. I'm sure he doesn't listen because his teachers accents are so heavy he doesn
