Play and Learn Children’s Place provides quality child care to the children of Washtenaw County. While adhering to the HighScope curriculum, state, and federal guidelines, we provide our teachers the ability to mold and shape young minds while continuing their development of skills through state certified training. We develop our classrooms to be the best learning environment for kids to play and learn in. We maintain a house area, toy area, block area, and art area with age appropriate materials, to aid in child development. As a core part of our learning environment, we use natural materials (ie: rocks, shells and wood), real materials (ie: phones, pots and pans), sensory materials, and culturally diverse materials, to maintain a well rounded learning environment. Our teachers use anecdotal observations to assess the children’s development from birth through preschool.
