"My five kids have been going to Janice’s preschool before this location was even built. All my kids loved it and my youngest of 5 is in the upk program now. Janice, the staff, and the teachers are all amazing. Would highly recommend."
"(Note: this review is solely on the pre-k program and does not include the daycare portion of this facility) Pre-k through The Little Play House did not meet my expectations. In all honesty, it didn’t even meet the bare minimum. I pulled my daughter from this facility after only attending 2 days. As a parent, if transparency, honesty, communication, respect, trustworthiness, and comfort are important to you, then steer clear of The Little Playhouse. Transparency: Not at all forthcoming with information. If you question anything, you will not be met with compassion. Instead, you will be met with hostility and anger from the owner, Janice. No parents are allowed inside and her orientation was a zoom meeting where she spoke for 10 minutes on mute. My daughter and I never saw the “classroom” before attending. The Pre-K “classrooms” are actually one big room in the basement that are separated by a divider. Honesty/comfort: Caught in small, unnecessary untruths. The owner does not like to be questioned, which was a huge problem for me. The trust was broken early on. I did not feel comfortable leaving my daughter in this woman’s hands. From my personal experience with her, she has no business being around children or running a daycare. Communication/Respect: If I could give a negative score for communication and respect, I would. All communication goes through Janice. Unfortunately, she sends impulsive, unprofessional, rude text messages if there is an issue with your child. These text messages were clearly not thought out. Janice will also let you linger with anxiety as she doesn’t respond or follow up once her initial text is sent. In my professional opinion as a teacher, if an incident occurs with a child, there should at least be a phone-call to the parents. When I called Janice to get more information on the pending issue, she rushed me off the phone stating she would call me back. She then proceeded to text me saying she actually didn’t have time to speak. Face-to-face communication is no better. She interrupts, speaks over you, and has a passive aggressive/condescending attitude. Trustworthiness: This facility single-handedly extinguished my daughters excitement towards school. After only two days attending, my bubbly, friendly, happy daughter was scared, overstimulated, and so upset. The very mention of school would cause unsettling outbursts and behaviors that were not in my daughters character. My daughter is now thriving in her new school with teachers and staff who go above and beyond for both my daughter and myself. I’m so happy I got my daughter out of The Little Playhouse."
"My daughter is in Miss Heathers 3 year old class and she is learning so much! I am so happy we chose The Little Playhouse. I did a lot of research and went to a lot of school and determined that this was the best school with a great curriculum and program. My daughter comes home everyday sharing with me all the wonderful cool things they did in class. This is not a play you drop your child off and they just get babysat, they learn in the most fun and creative way. On top of that, the program leader Janice is an amazing individual. Everything, all the communication is done through here, she works on a call/text level and it makes life so much easier, and she is very responsive and informative. When our son is ready we are going to enroll him. I could go on about how amazing the program and facility is. I feel safe knowing my daughter is with incredible teachers and staff members."
"I cannot recommend Little Playhouse highly enough. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place for our child. The staff are incredibly friendly, warm, and caring, and it is clear that they love what they do. The facilities at the school are top-notch and our child has thrived in this environment. The communication from the school has been outstanding. We receive regular updates on our child's progress, as well as photos and videos of their activities. Overall, we feel incredibly lucky to have found Little Playhouse. If you are looking for a nurturing, supportive, and enriching environment for your child, we highly recommend them."
"The facility is absolutely beautiful and the staff are amazing. My son David has been with Janice and the Little Playhouse for 3 years and we have had such a great experience. He’s learning new things and has really blossomed since he’s been there. We also enroll him in summer camp which he loves. Lots of outdoor activities as well as fun art/music/games. Would definitely recommend Little Playhouse to anyone."
