Safety. Security.

Play Academy wants you to know that your child is in a secure, safe environment when they are at our center. Each parent or authorized personnel will be given a secure login in order to enter into the classroom areas. This also allows us to see who picks up at what time. Our center also uses video surveillance cameras that record each classroom throughout the day to monitor our children and teachers.
We believe that children learn better when they are in a secure, safe, and comfortable environment.
