🌱 About MC Playground Academy
Where Play Meets Preparation
We are a licensed family childcare academy serving children ages birth to 12. Rooted in nature, creativity, and connection, our program blends joyful play with purposeful preparation. Families experience flexible schedules, hands‑on learning, and a calm, supportive environment where children thrive and parents feel truly seen.
🌿 Outdoor Play, Their Choice
Children are offered opportunities to explore outside in ways that feel best for the group — whether through a nature walk or enjoying time in our licensed play spaces.
🧪 Learning That Grows With Them
Science, art, math, phonics, and journaling are woven into playful, age‑appropriate activities. Lessons adapt to children’s interests, keeping learning joyful and relevant.
💬 Emotional Coaching
Children learn to name, discuss, and manage their feelings with peaceful areas, emotion books, and calming visuals. Emotional growth is nurtured as part of everyday life.
🤝 Clear, Consistent Communication
Families receive updates through Brightwheel, newsletters, and planning support. Communication is visual, thoughtful, and ESL‑friendly so every family stays connected.
🧩 Inclusive & Individualized Care
Neurodiverse and multilingual learners are supported with visual schedules, sensory tools, and flexible routines. Every child is welcomed, understood, and celebrated.
🕰️ Flexible Scheduling
Custom hours, early drop‑off, and a gentle two‑week trial period help children settle in with confidence.
📚 Support for School‑Age Kids
Before- and after-school care includes meals, tutoring (if requested), and enriching activities. We balance structure with freedom so kids can recharge.
🎉 Family Engagement
We host seasonal family events that bring caregivers and children together to celebrate, connect, and grow as a community.
🚌 Enhancement Field Trips
Children enjoy enrichment opportunities through field trips designed to expand learning beyond the classroom and spark curiosity.
🧼 Safety First
We follow Washington State health and safety standards with daily wellness checks, secure supervision, and emergency planning. Your child’s well-being is always our priority.
