*Important announcement July 22, 2020*
Program suspended
2020-21 school year
It is with a heavy heart that we are informing you that PlaySchool Central will suspend our program for the 2020-21 school year out of an abundance of caution due to Covid-19.
​
We are a play-based program and feel that wearing facial coverings, social distancing, and trying to keep each child safe would take away from the learning environment where we value cooperative play, gather together as family during circle time, small groups and even lunch time.
​
Please be assured, we are not looking at this as ending our program, but a suspension where we will prayerfully take our time to allow God to guide us to a stronger program with even more opportunities for your children to learn and explore.
​
We hope and pray that you will return to PlaySchool Central next school year. Please watch our Facebook page and website for new ideas and developments to come.
Where play EDUCATES
Striving to give the best education possible while still encouraging your child to be a kid.
In our PlaySchool Central program, your child will be given many learning opportunities through intentional play. Every detail, including the room environment, the toys on each shelf, and each center is designed to provide a learning opportunity where play educates.

PlaySchool Central - formerly Mother's Day Out (MDO)
​
Over the past 40 years, MDO has grown from an occasional play date for children of stay at home moms, to a playschool where children grow,
learn and succeed. To better reflect who we are and what we do,
we have changed our name.
At PlaySchool Central, we believe in educating the whole child.
Celebrating with you as they grow and succeed is very important to us.
We would love for you to join our PlaySchool Central Family
and experience the joy of watching your child learn, grow, and succeed,
​
​
In 2013 we started sending our oldest child to MDO and in 2014 our second child attended. We have been so happy with the MDO preschool that our third child will also be attending next year.
We love the welcoming atmosphere and wonderful teachers at MDO.
As parents, we're grateful there is a safe and caring place for our children to develop, play, learn, and grow.
We always recommend this program to our friends seeking childcare.

Playtime is precious.
Play builds brain pathways for

creativity,
flexibility,
empathy,
and many other
lifelong skills.
