About Our School

Play Learn School is a ministry of First Baptist Church of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Play Learn School began in September 1970 as a mission project of the Women’s Missionary Union. Over the years, Play Learn has grown to meet the needs of the Fayetteville community and currently operates as a preschool serving children from six weeks to PreK.


Play Learn is licensed by the State of Arkansas under the Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education.


Purpose

Our purpose is to provide a positive and fulfilling learning experience for preschool-aged children in a safe and secure Christian environment. Our goal is this experience will help all children grow and develop under the care of our trained and qualified teachers. We believe that children learn in many ways and we provide a curriculum that offers a variety of learning opportunities. We use Adventures in Learning, a program that allows children to grow and develop as Jesus did: “in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man "(Luke 2:52). Adventures in Learning uses a learning-center type of approach that provides age appropriate activities which relate to a specific unit of study. These resources are designed to provide hands-on activities to encourage each child to develop mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially/emotionally at her/his own pace.


Admission Guidelines

Pre-registration for the up-coming fall classes begins in February with children already enrolled in Play Learn having first opportunity for enrollment. Enrollment is then offered to Fayetteville’s First Baptist church members and then registration is open for other interested families. Registration forms must be completed and a non-refundable $75 registration fee paid before a child is considered enrolled. Children attending Play Learn must keep all immunization records up to date, with a copy provided for the school to be kept in the child’s file with their data form. When the classes are filled, families may place their child on our waiting list. The registration fee is not required to be placed on the waiting list. Names on the waiting list will be called in the order they have been placed on the list when an open spot is available. All enrollment decisions are made by the Play Learn director with consideration given to balancing classes and maintaining Arkansas Licensing staff/child ratios. Please consider the Kindergarten Readiness Calendar and the Play Learn Parent Handbook before registering your child for classes.


OPEN REGISTRATION


will begin Friday, March 13th, doors open at 8am.


With only a few open spots available, please be prepared to be waitlisted.


Our waitlist stays active for the entire school year but restarts each year.
