“Our task, regarding creativity, is to help children climb their own mountains
as high as possible. No one can do more.”

Our staff receives continuous training in Early Childhood Education, First Aid, and CPR. We also are members of NAEYC.

What Parents Are Saying
Dear Laura,
Thank you for all you do for Lola (and Vivian & Etta, too). She adores you and so do we! We know how many endless hours you work to prepare, reflect, teach, listen, love, breathe, and repeat!

Thank you for doing such a good job with Seamas this year, you should be very proud of your program and how much he has learned. I can take him anywhere and he is always polite. I will recommend you to all the Meme’s I meet.

We couldn’t have made a better decision sending Liam to your wonderful school this year. Thanks for all you do. I will sing your praises to anyone with a preschool aged child…best of luck to you as your school grows & grows!
~Laura & Adam
There really aren’t words to adequately express how grateful we are for the 7 1/2 years of awesome care you’ve provided for our children. It feels impossible that we’ve already arrived at the end of our Stay & Play days…it feels like yesterday we were picking up Henry at the Atkinson St. S&P on our way home from the hospital with baby Amelia. Thank you for the care, concern, dedication, creativity, flexibility, and guidance you’ve given as our kids have changed from toddlers, to preschoolers, to little kids. We wish you every future success and look forward to lots of visits in the year ahead. Please know you can always count on us for wonderful recommendations as you continue to develop Stay & Play into the school of your dreams.
With love and gratitude,
Leah & Jared
