Philosophy
The owners of Playtime Learning Academy chose this name for the child care business for very specific reasons which are reflected in the choices made for the curriculum, the environment, and the quality of daily education. The word "playtime" represents that learning should be fun. Young children learn through their play and play is an essential part of any children's program. Exciting development occurs as children play and this play becomes the foundation for learning. "Learning" takes place as children discover and work actively to acquire knowledge. We must strive to engage their natural creativity and allow for choices in their daily lessons that reflect the world around them. The word "academy", dating back to the times of Plato, has always been a word associated with higher levels of quality in education. The owners of Playtime Learning Academy expect teachers to strive for the highest level of quality in everything that they do for children and parents. In return, the owners will strive to provide the materials and reinforcement that reflect quality as a priority. So, when it comes to our philosophy, it's all in our name.
