About Playways

Small enough to feel like home — because it is one

Playways Daycare is a home-based Group Family Day Care in Hicksville, welcoming children from 6 weeks all the way to 12 years old. Days are built around a simple idea: children learn best when they're having fun.

That means circle time and counting games, but also dress-up, backyard play, and quiet time when it's needed. Small group sizes mean your child is never just a face in the crowd — our caregivers know each child's pace, favorite activities, and what makes them laugh.

  • Small group sizes for real one-on-one attention
  • A genuine home setting, not a big institutional center
  • Daily mix of structured learning and open play
