We strive to continue following guidelines set forth to keep everyone as safe as possible.  
**
One of the ways we are keeping people safer is through our staggered classroom schedule: drop-off and pick-up for families are less congested for better social distancing (and better parking, which is an added benefit).**


We have three kids and this is our 9th year in total with Stay and Play.  All of them loved their preschool.  The teachers and staff take care of the children with great care and passion.  Our kids' curiosities and love of learning which they gained through the play-based program are truly turning into their lifelong asset.  I appreciate that Stay and Play has been providing a wonderful program.

(Adventure Afternoons: 
We offer an extended care program called Adventure Afternoons for 3-5 year olds from 12 noon-2:45 pm. This is done on a drop-in basis (sign up at least one day in advance) or on a permanent part-time basis so you can use it as little or as much as you want! Cost is $15/afternoon. Your child can stay and eat lunch (pre-packed by you!) and enjoy varied activities including baking, exercising, enriching arts and crafts, music activities, trips to the library, TUMBLEBUS (Mondays) and much more!
