Lexington Playcare Center

I would not recommend LPC based on our recent experience!!!!!!
Since the leadership change in late 2025, the quality of care and communication seem to have declined sharply. Our child experienced multiple injuries over a short period of time, and several incidents were not documented. We repeatedly requested a meeting with management but were unable to have a meaningful discussion about our concerns. Based on our recent experience, we cannot recommend this childcare center!!!!!!!

We also observed concerning interactions between staff and children, including harsh yelling and children being left upset. Overall, the environment felt disorganized, low-energy, and not aligned with the high tuition. Not recommend!!!

Our daughter attended LPC for 4 years and I really can't say enough good things. She recently left to attend kindergarten and we all miss LPC so much. The people are great, the admin is excellent and the facility is amazing. Mike M.

Lexington Playcare Center is an amazing and special place! My daughter went there from 15 months to 5 years old. The teachers and staff are ALL wonderful, kind, supportive, and love working with children. The curriculum is creative, fun, enriching, and encourages children to love learning. It's the type of place you never want to leave! We will be forever grateful for the time Charlotte spent there, the experiences she had, and the memories she made.

*UPDATE 2026* My original review was based on my toddler daughter’s experience, and now that our son has also gone through LPC, I can’t reiterate enough how positive of an experience we’ve had with this magical place. LPC has truly become part of our family (so much so that we return for alumni events each year!!). The staff, including the new director Karen, are doing a wonderful job creating a play-based environment where children are encouraged to be curious, imaginative, and kind. Both of our children thrived at LPC. They developed confidence, independence, curiosity, and meaningful friendships in an environment where they felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than this. Highly recommend!! *** Our toddler daughter attends LPC and we couldn't be happier with the care and education that she receives there! The teachers are incredibly patient, kind, and creative - they come up with interesting and educational ways to engage the children. The student-teacher ratios are one of the best in the area and the facilities are clean, engaging, and fun for kids of all ages. After coming to LPC from knowing only a nanny her entire life, our daughter's transition was seamless. One week of sadness has now translated into months of fun and excitement about attending "school". We are so thankful to the staff at LPC and highly recommend it for any parent looking for a fun, educational, and engaging environment for their little one.

Both of our kids went to LPC, so we got to spend many wonderful years observing what a great place this is. Every morning was a happy morning entering the school, and each day was filled with play and learning. LPC teachers are so dedicated to children, and focus on teaching important skills that help make for a better start at Kindergarten. There was also an extensive focus on social skills and problem solving in social situations. We have so many fond memories of this place, given that we started in the toddler room and stayed until it was time to start Kindergarten. In fact both of my kids still wish they could go back to LPC :-)
