Play Factory
Playfactory was started by the Temple City Christian Church in 1973 to answer the needs of the community, with the increasing number of single-parent... families needing high quality but affordable day care and preschool education. Partially supported by the church and located in the church complex, Playfactory is a non-sectarian program and welcomes children of all religions and creeds. Playfactory is a non-profit organization. As part of our mission of service, Playfactory can provide some tuition assistance for families in financial hardship on a case-by-case basis. Parents in need of tuition assistance should contact the Director for more information.
Our philosophy is that children need a warm, comfortable non-competitive place to learn about themselves, other people, and the world around them. Philosophy is important because it affects everything we do in school. We believe each child can develop to the fullest physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually in an atmosphere of love and trust.
Our philosophy determines the goals we set up for the children and also the program we employ to carry out these goals. A very simple way to determine one's philosophy is to ask, "What kind of adult do I want each child to become?" We want our children to become competent, self-confident adults. To this end, we accept each child for the individual they are and to help them develop a good self-image as a contributing member of society.
