We are currently hard at work transforming the northernmost wing of the former Morningside Elementary into a premier early learning environment for the families of Moore County. Our team is dedicated to breathing new life into this 11,000 square-foot space, ensuring it serves as a safe, modern, and inspiring foundation for our students.

Our Current Progress

To meet the highest standards of safety and excellence, we are currently focused on:

• Infrastructure Upgrades: Completing critical electrical, plumbing, and HVAC renovations to ensure a comfortable and code-compliant environment.

• Environmental Stewardship: Undergoing professional environmental hazard remediation to ensure the building is safe for our youngest learners.

• Targeted Modernization: Converting traditional classroom spaces into dynamic, play-based learning zones designed for discovery and growth.

Our Projected Timeline

Our goal is to open our doors to our first students in September 2026. While we are working diligently toward this anticipated Fall 2026 launch, our official opening date remains contingent upon the successful completion of these major infrastructure improvements and final regulatory approvals.

We are committed to transparency throughout this renovation process. By partnering with local professionals and organizations, we are ensuring that when we do open, Play Co. will be an asset for our community's workforce and our children's futures.
