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.

My son attended the school from infant to 5 years old. We had a lovely experience. The teachers are wonderful and patient.
Play and Learn at Scribbles is a wonderful child care center. They are Accredited through the Maryland State Department of Education and at an approved EXCELS Level 3.
The teacher mentioned in the comment above no longer is employed at this center, and it is understandable to be upset by an employee's criminal history, but in this case the teacher was approved to work in a child care center by the State of Maryland and the Maryland State Department of Education.
This teacher left on her own accord and now works for child care housed a very well known medical center in the area.
Please do not dismiss this center due to one parent's opinion. The staff love working with the children and it shines through all of them daily.
I am a parent who is currently in search of a child care facility. After careful consideration, I decided that I adored the Scribbles facility and decided to conduct some research on the staff. I am so glad that I did.... parents, my findings were shocking!! It turns out that the staff member who would be in charge of my child's classroom, Talesha, has a criminal background as well as a restraining/peace order placed on her recently!! It is very disturbing to know that this facility would allow troubled individuals with a violent criminal history to lead their preschoolers!!
