About Check N’ Play

Check N’ Play is more than a play space — it’s a thoughtfully designed destination where families can connect, play, and recharge together.

Created for children ages 6 and under, Check N’ Play offers imaginative, enrichment-focused play experiences designed around creativity, movement, sensory exploration, and connection. From rotating crafts and themed activities to storytimes and special events, we create meaningful experiences for both children and caregivers in a warm, modern environment.

We are not a daycare. Instead, we provide a flexible, hospitality-driven experience where families can stay and play together, or for independently potty-trained children, enjoy short-term drop-off play while caregivers shop or dine within the mall.

We’re looking for energetic, reliable, and engaging team members to join our Play Attendant team.
