About Us

Building Bright Futures Through Learning & Play

Learning Through Play Childcare Center, LLC is a premier early learning center in Columbia for children ages 2.5–10, offering a safe, engaging space where children learn, grow, and thrive.

Our center combines premium early education with exceptional safety, intentional play-based learning, and dedicated professional care—all designed to support your child’s development.

SAFETY & SECURITY

Your Child’s Safety Is Our Priority

Your child’s safety comes first. From secure entry and parent verification to 24/7 video surveillance, our center is thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, secure, and comfortable environment where children can learn and thrive.

Secure Keyless Entry

Our main storefront entrance features an advanced commercial electronic lock system restricted entirely to authorized staff members. This ensures that our learning spaces remain closed to unapproved visitors at all times.

Parent Buzz-In Verification

To maintain a secure perimeter, our front door remains locked. Parents and visitors ring our building-wide wireless doorbell system upon arrival, allowing our leadership team to greet and manually verify each guest before buzzing them into the facility.

24/7 Video Surveillance

High-definition security cameras record continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Key entry points, hallways, and common areas are constantly monitored to maintain a safe environment.

Classroom Monitoring

Classrooms are equipped with internal monitoring cameras. This allows our Executive Director to maintain operational oversight, ensuring our strict safety and educational protocols are perfectly maintained throughout the day.

Playground Coverage

Our outdoor play environments are fully enclosed by secure fencing and monitored by dedicated surveillance cameras, allowing children to enjoy active outdoor play with maximum protection.

Secure Parking Area

Our facility features a private parking lot, including a fully compliant, marked handicap-accessible space, providing a safe and organized zone for families during daily drop-off and pick-up times.

WHY CHOOSE US

The Learning Through Play Difference

Elite Teaching Teams

Led by an Executive Director with over 28 continuous years of SC child care experience and local corporate management expertise. Every single teacher candidate we recruit must hold specialized professional credentials in early care and education, child development, or a closely related field.

The Creative Curriculum

We are not a passive babysitting service. Our classrooms utilize the nationally recognized Creative Curriculum, seamlessly balancing child-led discovery with teacher-guided instruction to build critical kindergarten-readiness and school-age developmental skills.

Daily STEAM Activities

Every single classroom integrates hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities daily. From building structures to conducting simple experiments, your child learns to problem-solve through active play.

Premium Daily Nutrition

The health of your child is our absolute priority. We provide two fresh, nutritious daily meals and one snack and maintain a strictly 100% Nut-Free Facility with completely Fish-Free Menus to ensure an elite, allergy-safe dining environment.

Advanced Safety Investment

Your child's protection comes first. Our facility features advanced secure entry locks for staff, a building-wide parent wireless doorbell buzz-in system, and continuous 24/7 video surveillance monitoring our classrooms and perimeter.

Distraction-Free Classrooms

We enforce a strict zero-personal-device policy for our educators during instructional hours. Eliminating smartphone distractions ensures our staff provides 100% focused attention, premium engagement, and active supervision all day.
