Where Curiosity Leads
Lexington Playcare Center is a play-based preschool in the heart of Lexington, serving children 15 months to 5 years. Since 1984, we’ve been a place where children become good friends, creative risk-takers, and confident learners.




Why LPC
Play is the Pathway
Our emergent curriculum follows each child’s interests. When children lead their learning through play, they develop problem-solving, creativity, and independence that structured programs can’t replicate.
Teachers Who Stay
Our staff includes teachers who have been with LPC for 10, 20, even 30+ years. Low turnover means your child builds lasting relationships with caregivers who truly know them.
A Playground Like No Other
Our nature-inspired playground features a hobbit house, apple trees, a trike path, tunnels, movable logs, and blueberry bushes. It’s the backyard woods experience every child deserves.
“They loved my kids as if they were theirs, and supported and celebrated their very different personalities.”
– Rachel, LPC parent for 7 years
