  I'm a long time play house Dad I work construction and deal with people daily here is my honest perspective. Ally in the office who took over for Gina lacks basic customer service skills she talks like she's on edge with a very aggressive tone the other lady in the office who's on her computer watches her act rude and says nothing at all seems like they are nickel and diming people charging fees for payments for forgotten sign in and outs we never had this with Gina these people are destroying the school and Ally is in no way someone who should be the face of a school that was ran with love and respect shes not warm or welcoming to the parents or the children her way of speaking to people including the children is like they are in trouble or being interrogated but says she's trying to get to know people that's not how you get to know people not like that. We won't be returning after summer camp and I'd suggest you look elsewhere if you are considering coming back and if you value customer service but more importantly your kids this is what you can get at public school maybe even better.

  I went here in the early 80s , Miss Arlette was the best cook in the whole wide world. Loved the atmosphere the teachers really cared

  Updated: Alicia’s approach to leadership and communication is deeply concerning. Rather than engaging in constructive, bi-directional dialogue with parents, her communication style is overly directive, defensive, and dismissive of questions or feedback. There is a noticeable lack of active listening and composure, creating an environment that feels tense and hostile. The negative shift in atmosphere is already palpable, even extending to the teaching staff, who now appear hesitant and unnerved. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable for someone in an administrative or leadership role. If you are looking for the warm, community focused Playhouse School you've heard about in the South Bay, please beware that school no longer exists. We chose this school for our two kids a couple of years ago because of its unique, family-first environment. Unfortunately, new owners have taken over from behind the scenes, and they are treating a beloved community institution like a cold corporate asset. They haven't even publicly announced the management change, but their actions speak volumes. They pushed a massive $200 mid-year tuition hike on us in January, completely upended the traditional payment structure, and are now systematically pushing out the loyal, long-time teachers who dedicated decades of their lives to our children. Because I saw these changes happening, I did start looking at other options out of caution, but I was genuinely hopeful that things would settle down. I truly wanted my two children to return here for kindergarten and first grade next year. I wasn't looking to find a new school so soon, and it is really very sad to be forced into this position. With Miss Gina officially leaving at the end of June, the heart of the school is gone. What makes it worse is the appalling lack of customer service and transparency. The office is keeping everything a secret. They will not tell us who owns the school, who is taking over, or who will be teaching the classrooms next year. It is entirely unfair to keep current families completely in the dark while expecting us to make enrollment decisions for next year. If they continue to strip away the core philosophy and staff, I don't see how this school will survive. Look elsewhere if you want honesty and stability for your kids.

  We absolutely love playhouse ! Both my daughters have attended and love Ms Vera , Ms Shana and Ms Gina . The other teachers and aids are also so friendly . The school is clean and orderly and we love how they display the kiddos art . My two daughters also attended the summer program but my 6 year old did the summer camp . She had a blast and they had so many field trips as well. They provided lunch and snacks in the regular school year and it was well balanced meals . My 6 year old went into kindergarten from playhouse , ready for the next level of learning and was very prepared . My 4 year old is learning so much in pre k and is becoming more confident in herself as well . My 2 year old will be potty training soon and can’t wait to also attend like her older sisters . We love the school and tell everyone about it who is looking for a preschool for their kiddos.
