Learn & Play Centers provide a safe and nurturing place for children to learn, grow and thrive while you focus on your healthy living goals. Children have the opportunity to interact with others, build relationships and work on developmental skills. 

We serve children from 6 weeks to 9 years old. This service is included at no additional charge with a family membership and available while parents or caregivers are using our programs, facilities and services. There's a two-hour maximum time limit per day and hours are subject to change based on location.
