What California does not publish here

The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

Recent parent reviews

  • WORST place ever! Dishonest, and unreliable, unprofessional! Unfortunately this was the first daycare we took our child to and didn’t know any better. We did some research and it seemed to be good and trustworthy. They proved us wrong and made our child’s life miserable and ours. We pull our child out and went to another location to find out that we were scammed. If I can provide any insight-please AVOID this location. I DO NOT trust them with our child! Very disheartening!

  • My son was here and was super happy there

  • Teachers and staff go above and beyond to make sure each child feels loved and valued.

  • I could not have found a better daycare for my son! The entire staff is friendly and goes over and beyond to care for the children. The children are always happy every single time I go there. The owner is a genuine person and every single staff member has treated me and my son like family. My son's father and I both are beyond thankful we found them. My son has never been so excited to go anywhere. He was non verbal when he started and in less than 8 months he is communicating verbally, Counting, knows his ABCs and tons of nursery rhymes. I can't thank them enough for all they have done; the least I can do is leave this review!

  • I have never had a complaint or issue with any of the staff. They are all wonderful and very nice girls. My two girls love it there! I highly recommend Playhouse Preschool! This is my glowing review!

What kind of child care licence does PLAYHOUSE PRESCHOOL hold?

How many children can PLAYHOUSE PRESCHOOL care for?

How often has California inspected PLAYHOUSE PRESCHOOL?

California records 2 inspection visits to PLAYHOUSE PRESCHOOL, the most recent on July 14, 2017 and the earliest on record November 8, 2016. The state publishes the dates of these visits but not what they found, so this count reflects licensing activity, not results. Read the findings themselves in California's own facility search.

Has California visited PLAYHOUSE PRESCHOOL in response to a complaint?

California records no complaint-driven visits to PLAYHOUSE PRESCHOOL. That means no concern prompted a visit on the public record, which is not the same as a clean inspection history: the state does not publish what its visits found.

Who holds the licence for PLAYHOUSE PRESCHOOL?

The licence is held by CHRISTOPHER MC DOLE AND SHELLEY MCDOLE. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in San Diego County.
