What We Believe
WHAT IS PLAY:
1) a natural process for constructing meaning.
2) an important part of every child’s development.
3) the perfect exercise, or “work”, for both the growing mind and body.
WHY PLAY:
1) it is an enjoyable activity that comes naturally.
2) it is invaluable to developing skills, habits, and attitudes children will carry into adulthood.
3) children are designed for play.
THE BEST KIND OF PLAY:
1) open-ended, constructive, spontaneous, child-driven.
2) “real-world” experiences, guided by caring adults.
3) uninterrupted.
WHY MY CORNER PLAYROOM:
1) children and their play come first.
2) we treat children as individuals, teaching from a world they love and understand: play.
3) we are education with a heart and conscience.
4) we provide classic, open-ended, constructive play toys, climbing structures, dress-up props,
and feature a sit-in sandbox.
5) we offer a range of programming with flexible scheduling, and fair pricing, in a safe, clean
environment with a helpful staff you can trust.

About our Sitters, On-Site, After School & Home Care
Because sometimes “parent supervised” just isn’t possible...
You may call to arrange a sitter to meet you at My Corner Playroom to play with and care for your child as long as you need during Open Play hours. Or- we make house calls!
This service REQUIRES advance arrangements and is subject to space / teacher availability. Additional fees apply. For more information on extended care options please Contact Us.
