Our 2025 “Play is the Blueprint” Campaign is about more than walls — it’s about building a place for play and community. Here’s how you can add your block to the foundation.

Shape a block.

Our campaign isn’t just about building walls — it’s about shaping a space that reflects the creativity, care, and sustainability our community deserves. If you have expertise in green building, design, construction, or resource planning, your skills can help us create a foundation that lasts. By sharing your knowledge, you’re not just shaping a block — you’re shaping the way future generations will play, learn, and grow together.

Windy Hill Play Family Testimonials

  • Ashley (2 year old)

    Windy Hill was our second home all spring and summer long. Mariah and Princess truly made us feel like family. Our son loved going there everyday. He is speech delayed and really doesn’t talk a lot so it’s always nerve wracking leaving him somewhere but they made us feel so comfortable.


    Now that our son is in school full time we plan on going to windy hill whenever he has days off and know it’ll feel like being back at home!!!

  • Sarah (2 year old)

    It cannot be overstated how much thoughtfulness and attention to detail Moriah and Princess put into their caregiving for children. I found this center when I was in a very difficult phase of life with a lot of transitions, and they were always so patient and kind. It’s a collaborative experience in which you really feel as though they understand your parenting goals and help you achieve them. My daughter always had the most amazing time at Windy Hill and had we not moved away, we’d still be going. 15/10 experience.

  • Robin (5 year old)

    Our son LOVES Windy Hill Drop In play! His language and social skills have BLOOMED in their care! SO grateful for them, especially as our family has been dealing with some tough circumstances. Windy Hill is like a village. Like part of our family.

  • Adam (6 & 2 year old)

    Mariah and Princess were amazing with my two kiddos. Both kids were happier there than at a much more “renowned” daycare. They offer the flexibility and understanding that most daycares won’t offer you. I highly recommend.

  • Jazmine (4 & 5 year old)

    Love this place for my kids and so does my boys. They can’t stop taking everything the do in a day and how much fun it was and how they learned new things …

  • Abby (2 year old)

    My child asked “Can we bring Windy Hill Play with us to our new home?”

  • Kelsey (2 year old)

    My family and I are so grateful for Windy Hills! When we moved to the area we had some trouble finding permanent daycare for our 16 month old but luckily Princess and Mariah were so welcoming, kind and easy to work with. It’s always nerve wracking to leave your kid with new people but they provided regular updates and our toddler seriously has the best time and comes home in the best mood after being at Windy Hills. So happy and relieved to have found this gem!
