Nurturing Growth Through Play

Where Every Child Learns,
Plays, and Shines

For over 18 years, we’ve been dedicated to creating a safe, loving, and inspiring environment where every child can thrive. What began as Maria Family Childcare has now grown into The Big Playhouse — a child’s dream come true, built around joy, creativity, and imagination.

At The Big Playhouse, we believe every child is unique and full of potential. Our small group setting allows for personalized attention, helping children develop emotionally, socially, and intellectually — all through play. Here, learning feels natural, exploration is encouraged, and every day brings new opportunities to grow with confidence and curiosity.
