Letter to Parents

 

Dear Parents,

We know life is full — work meetings, school drop-offs, last-minute plans, and everything in between. We also know you’re doing your best to be everything, everywhere, all at once — with a lot of love and not nearly enough support.

That’s why we created Recess. Not just for your child — but for you.

The World is Moving Fast — So Should Early Education

The world is evolving quickly. Technology, work, families, and childhood itself are changing faster than ever.

But childcare? It’s been stuck in the past.

Traditional daycares are rigid. Preschools are outdated. And flexible care options often are simply babysitting.

So we built something new.

What if care could be flexible for families, enriching for kids, and truly designed for the world our children are growing up in?

Welcome to Recess

Recess is modern childcare and early learning — available by the hour, half day, or full day, 7 days a week. We’re open early and stay open late, including weekends, because families deserve options that actually fit their lives.

Whether you need a consistent weekday routine, a weekend drop-in, or just a few hours to yourself, Recess is here.

And here, kids don’t just get watched — they play, create, learn, connect, and grow. And you, as a parent, get time back and peace of mind.

More Than Daycare. Not Just a Preschool.

We’re something different.

We designed Recess to offer children the freedom to explore and the support to flourish — even if they’re only with us for a few hours.

Our environment is calm, safe, joyful, and full of possibility. We follow daily rhythms that offer consistency without rigidity, and our activities encourage curiosity, confidence, and social connection.

Every child leaves feeling seen, celebrated, and excited to come back.

Our Proprietary Educational Approach: The ReadyPlay™ Method 

We believe that early childhood isn’t about preparing for kindergarten — it’s about preparing for life.

Children today will grow up in a world of AI, robots, self-driving cars, collaboration, rapid change, and infinite possibility. They’ll need empathy, creativity, adaptability, and confidence.

That’s why we created the ReadyPlay™ Method — a joyful, flexible learning framework that feels like play, connection, and curiosity.

ReadyPlay™ blends the best of:

  • Montessori (independence, life skills, care of self and space)

  • Bank Street (emotional literacy, social learning, play-based growth)

  • Reggio Emilia (open-ended exploration, collaboration, creative thinking)

  • Modern insights (child development, media awareness, future-ready thinking)

Whether your child is here for a full day or just an afternoon, they’ll engage in hands-on projects, storytelling, movement, real-world materials, and meaningful peer connection.

It’s learning through doing. Growth through joy.

We’re not pushing academics. We’re nurturing the mindset and heartset that will help them thrive.

Let’s prepare them be ready — not for our world, but for theirs.

For Parents, Too

At Recess, we’re just as focused on you.

We believe parents deserve child care that doesn’t just relieve stress — it lifts you up. That gives you freedom without guilt. That integrates seamlessly into your life, instead of controlling it.

Whether you’re working, resting, creating, or connecting — you deserve to do it confidently, knowing your child is in good hands.

A New Kind of Community

Recess is more than a childcare facility. It’s a community designed around real families.

We value transparency, kindness, creativity, and care. We celebrate differences. We support growth.

And we’re here for you, every day of the week.

Join Us

We’re not just changing the schedule. We’re rethinking the entire system.

We believe families deserve more. Children deserve more.

And now, they can have it.

This is Recess. Flexible. Enriching. Empowering. For your child. For you. For real life.

We can’t wait to meet you.

With love, The Recess Team
