At Kids Play Today, children don’t just attend. Children, and their families, become a part of our family, from their first steps into our classrooms to their high school graduations and beyond. We pride ourselves on cultivating a relationship-centered early learning community where children feel safe, known, and supported, and where families are true partners in the journey.

We believe children thrive when families feel connected, informed, and confident. That’s why relationships—with both children and families—are at the heart of everything we do. Instead of being on the outside looking in, families are a core part of the process.
In practice, this looks like:

  • Clear, consistent communication
  • Shared expectations between home and school
  • Respect for each child’s individuality
  • Thoughtful collaboration instead of guesswork

Our Approach To Learning

We believe that children learn best through purposeful play. Everything from playing peek-a-boo to building the tallest block tower ever serves a purpose in a child’s learning. Our classrooms and curriculum are designed to help children learn and practice skills like sharing, communicating, literacy, problem-solving, and emotional regulation through meaningful and engaging experiences. Experiences like these support children’s growth throughout all areas of development.

Supporting Diverse Learners

Every child has their own strengths, needs, and ways of experiencing the world. Some children are excited for everything and ready to go, while others can only sit in a certain colored chair. We provide support for everyone, regardless of needs or learning speed, because every child deserves to learn and be loved. We create predictable routines that build security, flexible approaches with clear expectations, observation-based support and adjustment, and most importantly, respect for children as capable learners. Just because a child thinks differently doesn’t mean they deserve to be left out—they deserve just as much love and support as any other child.

Family Partnership and Communication

Partnership isn’t a one-way street. We prioritize communicating effectively with parents, at drop-off, pick-up, and throughout the day. When communication is clear, honest, and consistent, learning can happen effectively. Our communication efforts are designed to support you and keep you involved in your child’s day, so it feels like you never left. 

Experienced Leadership

Everything done at Kids Play Today is backed by research and experience. Our founder holds a doctorate in Curriculum Instruction and Assessment and has over 35 years of experience in education, both in and out of the classroom. This foundation ensures that learning experiences are both engaging and supportive of how children grow and learn. We don’t just watch children—we support and prepare them for tomorrow and their futures.
