During this very unusual time in our lives we want to continually reassure you that we are following all of the CDC and MSDE recommendations along with our child care regulations. All of our staff and children 5 and up are wearing masks throughout the day. We are cleaning all toys, often touched surfaces and frequently washing hands. Although we are unable to give tours during our normal operating hours we would be happy to schedule a tour after hours. You may call us at 410-939-7065. We would love to introduce you to PlayPlace and show you around! We are very proud of our center and our fine staff.

We now know and are excited that we will have internet to support the distance learning while your children are in our care. The staff will be here to ensure that your child gets logged in and to answer any questions they may have. We have been working with both local elementary schools to get a better understanding of the learning platform your children will be using.

The staff will provide a safe, supportive and loving environment while making sure your child stays on task. Parents will still need to check in with their child’s teacher to make sure that they are completing their work and are on track with their learning.
