Established in 1981, Play and Learn Fort Washington was the first of its kind in the Fort Washington community. Play and Learn Fort Washington is nestled on beautiful, shaded grounds, on the Wordsworth Academy campus. Our playground is fully shaded with lots of climbing equipment and picnic areas and a paved area for riding toys is not far away. Inside you’ll find bright, cheerful classrooms for learning centers and play.
Fort Washington does two food drives during the holiday season in partnership with two local churches in the community. In the winter, this location does a hat, glove, and scarf drive as well with a shelter in Chestnut Hill.
I joined Play & Learn’s Fort Washington Center in 1988 as a toddler teacher. After many years as a classroom teacher, I was promoted to office assistant and then to the Center Director position in 2022.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education while working at Play & Learn and am excited to be serving in a leadership role where I can support other teachers in advancing their professional development. Our team is dedicated to working together with families to support the overall development of each child, including the social and emotional growth that takes place when children engage in expressive play.
I joined Play & Learn in 1996. As the organization grew, I served in Center Director roles at several centers, and worked in the Administrative Office as the Enrollment Coordinator for a time. Both of my children attended Play & Learn when they were young. I love working with children and enjoy watching them flourish. I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a PA Director’s Credential.
The Fort Washington Play and Learn is located on Camp Hill Road at the intersection of Camp Hill Road and Pennsylvania Avenue, minutes from Route 309 and the Fort Washington exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
