Description: Play Centers is a not-for-profit corporation providing quality care to children. The program is based on the child's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development and includes self-selected and planned activities, which alternate in quiet and active periods.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Our son has been here since 4 months old and absolutely love it. We are really pleased with the care he has received and would recommend Play and Learn at Hunt Valley to anyone.
Play and Learn at Hunt Valley is a wonderful place to send your children. I like the family atmosphere and personable staff. The facility is always neat and clean. My children grew socially and emotionally during the time they spent in the center. The well planned lessons and activities keep the children engaged, motivated, and interested.
