The P.L.A.Y. School

Our Story

The P.L.A.Y. School, rooted in the legacy of the First United Methodist Church Preschool, has been a beacon of innovative, play-based learning since the 1970s.

With a focus on developing friendships and social skills, the school offers a rich array of activities including games, crafts, storytelling, and experiential learning.
