Long Live Playtime — Local services in Edwardsville

Very welcoming and calm vibe here even with 12 kids darting about. They are respectful and responsive to questions. There was always someone sanitizing and picking up toys what seemed like every 15-30 minutes. Even the bathrooms! They have rules and safety posters displayed right before you come in to the play zone. It’s not a daycare! It’s a place you come to be with your kids and help them explore new social experiences/pretend time/sensory experiences. There is a quiet area of your child becomes to overwhelmed. Breastfeeding not only has its own little spot but is encouraged! They have bottle warmers and boppy pillows upon request. There’s a 24 months and under section. Lots of books and play things for them. For my 2 month when she was awake she had things for her and I to do while my 7 year old went about with the other kids. He said it was one of the best days of his life and he can’t wait to go back.

My kiddos and I absolutely love our trips to LLP! They are 5 and 2 in age, for reference. The staff always help to create a friendly and welcoming environment.

My kids are always...

I brought my 6 month old here (definitely the youngest baby there) and he had an absolute BLAST! He met so many baby friends and the sensory room was his favorite. I loved everything about it and can't wait until he's able to walk to do the toddler things! I would've stayed all day, I was sad leaving lol. I think we'll be spending the whole winter there haha

The establishment itself was very clean with with TONS of kids being there. I also love the Cafe for all the mommies to have refreshments such as coffee and boba refreshers! This place checks all the boxes when it comes to your littles being entertained no whether they are 6 months old or 6 years old!

Of course I'll be back and am looking forward to having my sons 1st birthday there. (Yes, they do...
