Large Playground

Our playground includes a play structure, boat, covered sandbox, covered play area, bikes and scooters, many child-created art pieces, raised planter beds and playhouses.

The teachers do a great job helping the kids with resolving social conflicts and communicating their emotions. The curriculum is well designed. Good balance of creative playtime, learning and outside play time.

When we moved to this area 3 years ago, everyone kept recommending A Child's Way. It clearly had a solid reputation, because they've worked hard to create a healthy, play-based atmosphere for kids.
