"Wow! I cannot speak highly enough about Learn N Play child care center. My daughter has been attending this center for a little over one year, and I have been blown away by the level of care, education, and compassion that she has received. The staff at Learn N Play is outstanding; they are patient, loving, and genuinely care for the children they work with. The facilities at Learn N Play are top-notch. The classrooms are clean, organized, and set up in a way that maximizes learning and exploration. The outdoor play area is fabulous, providing children with space to run, climb, and play outdoors. I have complete peace of mind while my daughter is at Learn N Play. The staff is always accessible for questions or concerns, and communication between the center and parents is excellent. Overall, I highly recommend Learn N Play to any parent in search of a high-quality child care center. The level of care, education, and compassion provided to each child is exceptional, and I am grateful for this wonderful center. Five stars all around!"

"This place is a little hidden gem in Ahwatukee. It is very family oriented and the staff are very tentative and caring. I have a school aged child who was attending before and after school care and she loves the staff and the environment. I highly recommend Learn N'Play."

"Three years ago I had my first daughter, I researched all of the local daycares. We joined one on the recommended by a friend and our daughter was not treated the way we wanted. I then tried Learn N’ Play. I came in as a paranoid mom filled with terror at leaving my baby again. When I joined Learn N’ Play they were wonderful with me. They dealt with my extra terror and panic by giving me lots of extra details every day and all my extra phone calls. Eventually, I relaxed and realized that Learn N’ Play was everything I had hoped for. You become a part of their family when you join Learn N’ Play. They take care of you and your family. We all know that sometimes things happen at daycares that we as parents are not ok with, anytime over the three years I brought something to the directors attention she handled it exceptionally. She addressed the issue with me, and made sure to address it with her teachers. I was always pleased with the outcome and felt comfortable talking with the director. We never had any large concerns to deal with. My daughter has lots of allergies. The daycare provides lunch and snacks for the kids but my daughter can’t have their food so we pack lunch and snacks for her everyday. There have been multiple times we have forgotten her lunch. The teachers and directors would go out of their way to make sure she has enough food and snacks that she can safely eat. When I forgot it was her first picture day ever, they went out of their way to find a super cute outfit and dressed her up. Now this might not seem like a big deal but I was so sad when I realized it. They took the time and went out of their way to fix my small issue, because they knew it was important to me. I can’t write a review long enough to tell everyone how wonderful this daycare is. We have been apart of their family for three years. We love it."

"I have been bring my handsome boys to teach n fun/learn n play for 5 years. I love all the teachers. My kids are extremely spoiled with love. When your child wants to go to daycare and is very excited to see teachers that’s how you know its real. They have always treated my boys and loved them like family. I am a single mom and work hard for my boys. Any parent wants what’s best for their kids and honestly there is no better loving place. I trust them with my babies lives. Thank you Jacki alicia Abbi and every hard working teacher there. You are all the best.. thank you for loving my babies as if they were your own♥️"

"I brought my infant to this location for only 13 days before taking him out. My son is 3 months old and was in the infant room. The woman Dove that works in the morning is awesome and super sweet, you can tell she loves children, however the girl Chelsea that works in the afternoon is TERRIBLE! The first week of going here Chelsea told me they had an inspection so they had to keep all the babies occupied and on the floor and they couldn't be in the swings or bouncers but after their inspection they pretty much do whatever they want and do not comply with regulations. One day I went to feed my baby during my lunch break and while sitting in the infant room Chelsea was asking basic questions that she should already know if she was caring for infants. She had to ask another worker if she should take off a babies jacket and when the other worker instructed her to check and see if the baby was hot or cold Chelsea said she didn't know how to do that, the worker then told her to feel the babies hands and see if they were warm or cold and Chelsea then replied with she cannot tell, which caused the other worker to go over and check the baby and then remove the jacket from the baby as she was too hot. If you are going to be caring for infants you should be able to know these basic items. When my son was first enrolled I had told them that he is a very slow eater so it takes some time for him to finish up his milk, Dove was very understanding and would take her time to ensure he was fed well and happy however whenever she would leave Chelsea did not have the same care. When looking at my report sheets they would give my son he would only be eating maybe an ounce after Dove was gone. I do not think Chelsea took the necessary time to feed him so whenever I would pick him up he was crying and extremely hungry. I always had to sit somewhere in my car to feed him before driving back home where he would drink between 4-7 ounces. Clearly he was starving! One day when I went to pick him up he was asleep in a swing facing the wall. I was clearly not happy that my son was asleep in a swing. Chelsea kept asking me if I was upset or mad, she must have asked me 5 times if I was mad. I told her that I did not mind him sleeping however I did not want him sleeping in a swing due to SIDS and he needs to be laying flat on his back while sleeping. Again her incompetence arises! I picked my son up on Monday to find him in his crib exhausted and looked as though he was not breathing, I tapped him numerous times and he was non responsive until I picked him up and then he started making noise. I asked Chelsea about it and she said she was just holding him and he was just tired however he is not usually non responsive while sleeping. I suspect that Chelsea had given him a sleep aid and this is why he was non responsive. His next day at this daycare following that I showed up early to pick him up to find him scratched on both sides of his forehead, the middle of his forehead bruised and swollen along with the right side of his forehead swollen as well. This new girl told me my son hit himself in the head with a ball however they were unable to produce this ball that he supposedly hit himself with. Her and Chelsea were both stuttering and scrambling to fill out their incident report which they had neglected to fill out for the incident until I arrived nor did they contact me to let me know something had happened to my poor baby. I took pictures immediately getting into my car and decided to take my son to our pediatrician to get him looked at because his forehead was extremely swollen in multiple locations. My pediatrician examined him and stated "It is HIGHLY unlikely your infant hit himself with a ball unless this ball weighed 10 lbs, I suggest you start looking for a different daycare." Needless to say that was his last day at this daycare."
