Our Child Care Philosophy
Our day-to-day childcare philosophy is simple: give a child love and laughter, and they will grow faster and more driven to healthy and happy choices. There are many studies that show development in the first 5 years of any child's life shapes how they will become for their future. If that be the case, why not choose a daycare option that forms your child's future to be surrounded by love, knowledge, and happiness?

What Parents Think
I'm not a parent, but I am a legal guardian-- and every once in a while when my kid Rudge comes around in the summers to stay with me from up North, I have a hard time just leaving him at home to watch TV all day. Plus he's 3 -- which would make me a very irresponsible guardian or a complete jackass to leave a 3 year old at an apartment in Koreatown-- I have enough karma up against me to fill the Hollywood Bowl.

My kids have been going to see Flora for just under a year now, and I already see great progress. What I like about Flora's child care ways is that it's just simple—there're no weird gimmicks or shady subtext—and she is very straight-forward. I love the way she treats all the kids. She puts them together and encourages social interaction. My son was so incredibly shy (even when he was at a much larger daycare) before coming to Flora. Within one month, I swear it, he would go up to random kids in the park and play with them. Flora, you changed my sons life in such a small way that will impact him for the rest of his life! Much love!

Flora is so considerate and so sweet. Jordan was 1 year and 6 months when I took him to FK Childcare and the results were almost immediate. At first I was hesitant about taking him to an independent home care situation, and I was pushing for the more conventional child care venues. However, my husband was adamant about Flora saying that one of his coworkers had used her and she was great. Within a month I saw Jordon sleeping better and becoming more social within his playground circles. Thank you, Flora!

our activities
Musical Chairs Studio
At PLCC, friends get together to sing and share the enjoyment of music. Finger plays, favorite and new songs, and tunes from other cultures will be introduced by our music instructor during the music sessions.
These musical experiences expose each child to various forms of music with wide ranges of rhythms, tempos, and moods, and represent opportunities for learning to identify basic musical concepts, such as loud and soft, fast and slow, and high and low. These musical experiences are also great opportunities for each child to develop a natural appreciation of music and to express emotions and ideas. Mia never misses a class!
Dancing Art
Welcome to Dance Time at Play Land Child Care! Our dance sessions for children under 4 are all about fun, movement, and imagination. Each class introduces kids to the joy of dancing through playful activities that encourage creativity, rhythm, and body awareness. We explore music, simple dance steps, and basic movements, like jumping, clapping, and spinning. Our caring instructors keep the atmosphere lively and supportive, making sure every child feels included and free to express themselves. Dance Time helps little ones develop coordination, balance, and confidence, all while having a great time with their friends. Let's dance, move, and make memories together!
Creative Movement
At PLCC, we design a movement program which incorporates the benefits of physical activity with the child’s imagination and creativity. Movement activities, such as gymnastics, yoga, and dancing, are combined to address each child’s growth and development in multiple domains. Sensory awareness, flexibility, strength, coordination, concentration, and spatial orientation are intertwined with imagination, self-esteem, competence, and social skills.
Our creative movement instructor, while designing and coordinating the movement activities, encourages and supports each child to contribute with his/her own movement ideas and creativity.
