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!

My children went to this Playroom from age 7 up until they turned 13!!! My daughter is now an adult and her son now goes there. He normally cries with strangers but he loved being there. My God children ages 3 and 5 also beg to go there!!! They love Ms Monica and Mariah!!!

On 12/5/2025 Haley Munday had this to say:
The Children’s Playroom is truly an amazing service for families and children! I have a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and before working here, I didn’t know much about drop-in childcare. I originally took a part-time position to help pay off student loans, thinking it would be temporary—but I’ve stayed for over a year and a half because the environment is just that wonderful. Children are always engaged with games, hands-on activities, and plenty of free play—something that’s so important in today’s screen-focused world. The staff are attentive, warm, and have strong relationships with each other, which models healthy communication and friendship skills for the children. I also love that The Playroom is welcoming and supportive of children with exceptional needs, making it a truly inclusive space. At the end of the day, The Children’s Playroom offers the two things parents value most: a safe place for their children and a fun, enriching experience every time they visit. I highly recommend it!

My children Love The children’s Playroom, and constantly beg to return! They bring home arts and crafts, along with new friendships each time they visit. Staff and management are always helpful and patient with my children.

On 12/4/2025 Monica Barnes had this to say:
I have had the privilege of working at The Children’s Playroom for 24 years, and it has truly been one of the greatest joys of my life. I absolutely love the children and families I’ve met over the years—each one has made my time here so meaningful. Watching children grow and laugh has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful for every moment. I also want to thank all the families who have shared such wonderful reviews throughout the years. Your kind words mean more than you know and remind me why I love what I do. The Children’s Playroom is a special place!
