  Here’s a short and polished Google review you can use: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Peace Through Play is an incredible preschool! I truly appreciate that it’s completely screen and technology free, allowing children to focus on real play, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences. The emphasis on child development really shows in everything they do. The staff is amazing—caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth. All my (three) kids attended this place. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment!

  So grateful this magical place exists! Peace Through Play is like if Mr. Rogers' neighborhood became a school - a little place tucked away amongst acres of woods where the kids get to learn, grow, and explore outside in rain or shine. The pedagogy of experiential learning is age-appropriate and (specifically Nina!!) has taught both my daughter and myself so many valuable life lessons, particularly with communication. Highly recommend this nursery school, and very thankful to the PTP team.

  We absolutely loved our daughter's experience at Peace Through Play Nursery School. She attended for two wonderful years in a nurturing, Montessori-esque environment where the kids got to play outside on three acres of beautiful woodland. The mixed-age setting was fantastic for her social development, as she got to interact with both older and younger children. Plus, the emphasis on outdoor play, yoga, and even a bit of meditation—rain or shine—made it a truly special place for our child to learn, grow, and connect with nature. We highly recommend it!

  Peace through Play is a magical place. I wish that I had the opportunity to go to such a great nursery school when I was a kid. They have a great private outdoor space where the kids can have fun and just be kids. My daughter loves to do artwork and they had so much for her to do there. She would come home each day excited to show us her new yoga moves and sing the songs she learned each day. My daughter really opened up during her time there and made great friends. Even being there all day she would still complain that she wanted to say when it was time to take her home. They offer affordable prices with a long schedule which is amazing for working parents. Miss Elisa does an excellent job, along with all of the other teachers and staff. They have a great culture there and all support each other. There was never a single issue during my time there. We went out of our way to keep our daughter in PTP even when we moved and it was no longer convenient. I can not recommend PTP enough!

  Two of my children have attended Peace Through Play and my third son will attend here as well! Alan and his teachers are absolutely amazing and nurture all the children in such a kind and special way. This place is truly one of kind and one our family will always hold dear to our hearts. If you are looking for a daycare offering a welcoming and nurturing environment (in a beautiful space) where the uniqueness of your child will be honored and cherished look no further - this is it! <3

  Peace Through Play is an amazing school to send your child. Peace Through Play stands for everything that is right in this world. Treat others with the respect that you would want them to treat you is the philosophy that Alan, the owner and director as instilled at Peace Through Play. It is a friendly, warm, and fun environment for children and even for parents. I, having spent time working at Peace Through Play on and off over the years know this to be true. The school serves as a wonderful place for children but also as a community for parents and children with like minded views. Peace Through Play is where you want your child if you want them to grow up with values such honesty, sharing, kindness, fairness, and equality. I love this school and hope to send my children here one day! I mean the name says it all - PEACE THROUGH PLAY! And in today's world nothing sounds better! Thank you!
