My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the Pre-K program at Art Play! From the moment we enrolled, it was clear that the focus is on supporting children’s development through a perfect blend of play and learning. The teachers are nurturing and genuinely care about each child's growth, fostering a welcoming and engaging environment. Art Play balances structured learning with plenty of opportunities for creative play. We sent all three of our children to Art Play and each one had grown so much in terms of social skills, creativity, and cognitive development, all while having a great time! The activities are always age-appropriate and fun, and I love that they encourage exploration and independent thinking. I highly recommend Art Play to any parent looking for a supportive, enriching environment for their child’s early education. It's a wonderful foundation for their future learning!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Art Play Nursery School, which has played such a pivotal role in our daughters' early education and development. With three daughters who have all had the privilege of attending, Art Play has truly become a cherished family tradition. It’s not just a school; it’s a home away from home, where creativity, learning, and friendship blossom every day. From the moment we enrolled our first daughter, we knew Art Play was something special. The nurturing environment, the caring and experienced staff, and the emphasis on creativity and exploration made it clear that this was the perfect place for our girls to begin their educational journey. It is rare to find a place that feels so welcoming, supportive, and enriching—and we are so lucky to have been a part of the Art Play family. Watching all three of our daughters go through the same wonderful experience has been a true gift. I’m proud to say that Art Play was an integral part of their early childhood, shaping them into confident, curious, and motivated learners. I wholeheartedly recommend Art Play to any family looking for a nurturing and educational environment that truly cares for every child. It’s a place where traditions are made, and lifelong memories are created.

Art Play has been a parents dream as being their kids first step into school. Laura, Jen and all the teachers’ kindness, patience and knowledge surrounding early childhood education is extraordinary. The way they have been able to teach thru a various way of play, it lays a lasting foundation for the kids as they continue their educational career. All three of my kids have loved every day of their years at Art Play! An added bonus is the Art Play Community you become part of- it truly is one of a kind and we could not recommend it more!

All three of our kiddos have been a part of the art play nursery school community for the past 7 years. The place is magical. And the power of learning through art and play is shown through the laughter, smiles and creative art that I see at drop off and pick up. The original and thoughtful activities, games and books are just so incredible for all types of learners. I highly recommend this place to all families in need of a fun, safe and diverse place for their little humans to play, learn and grow. Cheers to all the teachers at Art Play Nursery School. ❤️
