Who we are

Where Play Meets Growth

At Play & Grow Academy of Saginaw, we believe children learn best through curiosity, creativity, and connection. Every moment of play is an opportunity to explore, imagine, and grow. Our mission is to provide a joyful, secure, and inspiring environment where each child develops a lifelong love of learning.

Our Philosophy

We nurture the whole child—socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Our teachers create engaging, hands-on experiences that encourage independence, confidence, and collaboration. From art and music to outdoor exploration, we believe learning should be both fun and meaningful.

Quality You Can Trust

Play & Grow Academy is a fully licensed childcare center serving infants through school-age children. Our caring, qualified staff maintain low teacher-to-child ratios, and all team members are CPR-certified and trained in child development and safety. We’re committed to providing a secure, inclusive space where families feel supported and children thrive.

Enriching Through Art Therapy

We’re proud to partner with a registered art therapist who guides creative sessions designed to help children express themselves, build self-esteem, and strengthen emotional understanding. Through painting, drawing, and imaginative play, children develop healthy coping skills and confidence in their individuality.

A Curriculum That Inspires

Our programs incorporate the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum (Mother Goose Time)—a research-based approach blending early academics with social-emotional learning. Children engage in hands-on projects that spark curiosity, develop critical thinking, and prepare them for success in school and beyond.
