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.

The caregivers for the most part were kind and interacted well with the children.
My son did not particularly like it, however. He found it too restrictive, especially after coming off of a restrictive day at school. After 4 years with Playcenters, we switched to an after school karate program which my son LOVES.
I kept him enrolled in Playcenters on a drop in basis as a backup plan, and used it maybe 5 times in the course of the school year. This year I went to register him for drop in again, and was told because I missed their arbitrary deadline I would need to pay a $50 re-registration fee. I thought that was ridiculous, so I declined.
I emailed the president of the company to let her know I felt that was terrible customer service, and I never received a response. Not even an acknowledgement of my email, or a response from another staff member. That was just insulting.
THEN I found out from another parent that the Playcenters at my son's school was filled up, anyway, and had a wait list. Why didn't the office staff tell me that? They were going to let me pay $50 to register for a service I was not going to be able to use!
Bottom line ... if you have an active child, you may want to look into something more along the lines of a karate program where they can burn off some energy after the long day of sitting at a desk. And after school karate programs pick the children up from school at dismissal - very convenient!
Good luck!
