Description: Since it first opened in 1988, the mission of The Play School has stayed the same: To provide children with consistent, high quality, loving, nurturing, stimulating, and safe environments; to incorporate parents’ personal values, desires and input; to attend to each child’s unique learning characteristics and foster the development of their individuality and self esteem. After more than 20 years, The Play School is still providing quality Indianapolis child care at its Stoney Creek, Saxony and Arbor Village locations. We invite you to come see if The Play School is the right choice for your child and your family.
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.

Turnover is too high and kids switch around a lot between teachers. Doors next to preschool classrooms are unlocked and easy to push open from the inside several kids have left the building unnoticed. Kids are not checked in or out on the parent website frequently and teachers will not know exactly what room they were moved to. Building is bright and colorful but it is dirty. Some teachers scream a lot and are rough with kids. Front desk staff does not watch who kids are leaving with and greet you when you walk in if anyone is sitting there at all. Water table is dirty and outdoor playroom that it is in is dirty and playgrounds have no toys for the kids to play with. They've had good teachers but they often seems overwhelmed and quit within months of starting.
