Just 3 years ago we had our 2nd child, we probably went through 3 daycares before we found the one that felt like home. The previous daycares were either lacking with experience daycare employees, were not up to code with safey issues, daycares that wanted children to behave like little soldiers or all of the above. Children's playhouse the moment we entered to speak to Barbra felt welcoming, it did not feel like a business but felt like a home away from home for our child. Meals are prepared, enough toys to make every child feel over joyed with choices, the staff not only experienced but friendly and understanding of each parent and needs of their little ones. A beautiful huge well thought out yard for the kids to play and burn that energy out too, lol. Oh and this daycare is well secured too. They also engage with multiple creative projects, and a cozy lit room for nap time too. And even more amazing is that our finicky 3 year old eats everything they serve him, I failed to mention that he is also learning his alphabets and numbers quicker than we thought he could. A beautiful daycare, and lovely people too. Highly recommended !
Patrick.GDec 19, 2024My twins attended daycare here for 2 years I could not say more amazing things about Barbara & Michelle!! Truly have made such a huge impact in my girls lives. They recently started kindergarten this year and talk about Barb & Michelle frequently they miss them very much! They learned so many things and made many memories with the crew here. I would recommend this daycare to anyone who asks!
Carey HardingNov 9, 2023My Son was 4 years old age he was first introduced to Children’s Playhouse & their stellar adults that ran the program. Barbara& Michelle are THE BEST DAYCARE program one could ask for!! My son was still in diapers! They thought him the Alphabet, reading, writing, fun songs, outdoor activities & even POTTY TRAINED him!!Barbara is amazing and went above and beyond for my child n I thank them SO MUCH for being so supportive & articulate to his special needs as well. What a Great Group !!!! I would NOT hesitate to refer this special Daycare for your child. I know. As parents- were very picky. Let me pick for you. This place is educational, stimulating, fun, loving & above all TRULY gives their all to your child& their well being. I’d also like to add that my Ex BF, my sons father, Steve Schulz left Barbara’s business a negative review & I’d like to say he is COMPLETELY INCORRECT in every aspect that he wrote …… He is just a bitter person who loves to place blame on anybody but himself for no longer having physical custody of his son and refuses to accept responsibility for his actions….. Thanks Barbara & Michelle!!!!!❤️❤️ we miss u n my son talks about you every day!!!!!! Xoxo
Heather SchraudJul 7, 2023My son has been going to The Childrens Playhouse since he was 12 weeks old, and I have nothing but good things to say about Barbara and her staff. She sincerely cares about all of the kids, and my son absolutely adores her. The second we walk in the door, he runs right up to her and gives her a big hug. I’m so happy that we have found a place where they truly care about the well being of every child that walks through the door. We are so lucky to have found The Childrens Playhouse.
Nicole CusanoOct 19, 2022My son has been here for two years now, and Ms Barbara and all the teachers have been so sweet and great with my son. He loves them and I have seen so much growth in him since he started. I would send any of my children here and feel completely safe and comfortable. I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for my son!!!! Absolutely would recommend for childcare!!
Kallie ShermanSep 13, 2022Barbara runs such a wonderful program with emphasis on building social skills and early academics. The kids always have so much fun learning and growing individually at their own pace, and together. They explore their environment with encouragement and excitement from the staff and it really makes a difference in how the kids learn. She really knows how to work well with children of vast age groups and to understand their personal needs as they go on their own journey of development. She is so in tune to each of her students own needs and personal growth, and it really shows in the way her students flourish.
