Our goal is to provide a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for your child to learn and grow throughout their younger years. Our program encourages physical, emotional and intellectual development, as well as instilling a love of learning! Each classroom is bright and cheerful, with many of the essential tools to promote learning with a teacher that will nurture and guide your child to become an independent and thoughtful learner! Play Laugh N' grow is a childcare and Pre-school that was founded by Kristy and Kevin DeCesare in August of 2009. Play Laugh N' Grow provides high quality child care for children, ages 6 weeks to 6 years. We have established a developmentally appropriate curriculum for early education through programs that offer intellectually challenging experiences, and many opportunities to develop social relationships. From the moment you enter our school, its unique atmosphere is evident. Here at Play Laugh N' Grow we have created an environment where learning is a process – a series of experiences beginning the very first moment your child enters our center, whether they be six weeks old, or six years!

My kids love this place and have been there for about a year. The staff is extremely helpful and loving. I am very grateful to the entire staff for being a part of our family.
the director Melanie wells and teacher MS Mackenzie are very knowledgeable and caring to the children they are committed to success for the students of all ages
I would recommend them especially after making great changes recently
Kristy the owner & Rachel the AD were unacceptably rude & hurtful to me. When I questioned the gray area in their policy of me paying for days the school was closed. Their response was tough , you should’ve known that before you signed up & good luck finding another daycare with openings. I kindly gave the owner my two weeks according to their policy and said I really want the two weeks so my child can have more socialization. The owner said tough we’re done. I heard through our town a lot of negative reviews about this place. Kristy threatened if I made a bad review she would sue. I was still being kind to her. She had the local sheriff called me to try to convince me it was a bad idea to give her a bad review. I’m making this review because her and her A.D. treated me so terrible . They honor their policies only when it suits them. They rejected their two weeks policy for my daughter who was there for socialization because she’s not talking yet. Caring about their children is not at all their priorities. And the behavior of her threatening me with her lawyer and calling the sheriffs is very unprofessional and shows how reactive this owner is .
Fantastic facility with wonderful caring staff and directors!
My son went here for about 6 months, in that six months I really grew to love his teacher. The owner on the other hand wasn't very perfessional. I never recieved a letter telling us when picture day was when I dropped my son off they told me that today was picture day. I was a little upset because this was my son's first picture day and wanted him to be dressed overly nice. then never recieved the actual picture after asking for it a few times i just gave up. when it comes to patments I always asked for a recept after saying they would give it to me when I picked up my son, I never got it. now that I am doing taxes I recently asked for a list of the payments I made, She claimed to not having that kind of request. Again loved his teacher but all in all wasn't happy about the school. I wouldn't recommend this school at all. Unorganized, unprofessional and the owner is just dumb.
My child has beed attending Play Laugh N' Grow for over a year and i cant say enough! The director is pofessional and always keeps us well informed about my sons day. The staff is caring and you can tell they love what they do! I feel safe knowing each staff member has a degree and takes their job above and beyond! I highly reccomed this center not only because of the staff also because the center is bright cheerful and always clean.
