The Children's Playroom Drop In

"Drop In Childcare At Its Finest"

About Us

Gini and Mark Langham started The Children's Playroom Drop In to help parents who need quality part-time child care for their children. They always strives to continually make the centers fun and safe for all the children that visit. They walked the halls of the Tennessee State Legislature to change the law and increase the hours that drop-in centers could care for children from 10 to 20. Mark Langham passed away in March, 2019, but Gini and her two children continue to provide quality drop-in care to Middle Tennessee. Reach out to us today to learn more about our dedicated business!

On 2/13/2026 Alyssa Williams had this to say:
The Children's Playroom has been nothing short of a blessing to my family. We moved here knowing no one, and I found myself needing help with the kids weekly. Everyone here, specifically Miss Monica is so caring and helpful. They take time to do crafts and activities throughout the day and ensure every kiddo is safe and has fun. We love it here! I feel safe leaving the kids and they always have a blast. 10/10 recommend for anyone unsure!

Amazing place.

On 1/9/2026 Cara Brown had this to say:
The Children’s Playroom is truly one of the best resources for families in the Brentwood and Belle Meade areas. Both locations are beautifully designed, clean, and thoughtfully set up to encourage imaginative, open-ended play for kids of all ages. You can immediately tell that every detail—from the toys to the layout—was chosen with intention and a deep understanding of how children learn and play. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It feels calm, welcoming, and community-oriented rather than chaotic, which is such a gift for parents. The staff are consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in creating a positive experience for both kids and caregivers. They strike the perfect balance between being present and allowing children the freedom to explore independently. The variety of play opportunities keeps kids engaged for long stretches of time, whether they’re into pretend play, building, sensory activities, or creative exploration. It’s the kind of place where children can fully immerse themselves, and parents can actually relax and enjoy watching them play. Both locations are equally well run and inviting. If you’re looking for a clean, enriching, and thoughtfully curated play space that supports meaningful play and community, The Children’s Playroom is absolutely worth it. We feel so lucky to have this gem nearby and can’t recommend it highly enough.

I have been bringing my child here for two years, Miss Morgan always remembers his name when I drop him off even if it's been a couple months since he's been in. I feel so comfortable bringing him, we've had a couple bad daycare's in the past, and had to pull my oldest out of those, but this place takes the best care of their kids. If your kid is crying, they will be held until they stop crying, every time I walk in the door one of the caretakers is always holding a kid no exceptions. Your child will not be neglected or sad because their needs are being met. Can't say enough good things about this place! It's such a blessing.

The absolute best drop in daycare around! My kids love this place and ask to come back. The staff are wonderful and treat the kids so wonderfully. Highly recommend!
