Classrooms & Learning

At Play Academy, learning happens through structured play and exploration. Our curriculum—built on the foundation of the Play Academy Preschool Play Pack—blends Montessori principles with a play-based approach to support every stage of development from infancy through preschool.

Each classroom is designed to meet children where they are:

  • Infants (6 weeks–16 months): nurturing care, sensory exploration, and secure routines.

  • Toddlers (16 months–2 years): language growth, independence, and hands-on discovery.

  • Preschoolers (2–5 years): early literacy, math, science, dramatic play, and practical life skills.

Through daily activities such as circle time, sensory play, dramatic play, outdoor movement, and hands-on projects, children develop the confidence, curiosity, and problem-solving skills necessary for lifelong learning.

A wonderful learning experience! Monica takes really good care of my child and I love that I don't have to worry about meals!
