Auntie's Playhouse Childcare Center, LLC 19805 1st Avenue South, Normandy Park, WA 98148

"Our 2 yo son was at Aunties Playhouse for 10 weeks while we were waiting for a spot at a program that some family friends go to. Our son’s time at Auntie’s was terrific! It was his first time at daycare and the teachers were so compassionate and caring about helping him (and us!) get past the first few drop offs. By morning 4-5 he stopped crying at drop off and he would just shout “bye!” as we were still hugging him and then run off to play or join morning story time. Probably the most profound thing for us is that before he started at Auntie’s our son had a diagnosed speach delay and was only using maybe 3 words regularly despite 4-5 visits with a Speach Therapist. Within a week of starting at Aunties Playhouse we already heard 5+ new words, and by three weeks he probably had 20-25+ words. We really were astounded. As first-time parents this was such a relief! I could see how the teachers greeting the kids on arrival and encouraging the kids to greet each other and participate in reading circles and singing activities truly made a huge difference for our son’s development. One night at bedtime our son started spontaneously singing “Twinkle twinkle little star”…we never sang him that and it was the most words he ever said in a row until that point. We nearly fell over out of surprise/joy. A couple of other things I really valued: + being new to daycare, we just loved getting the photo updates during the day. As working parents, it was just great to see him happily playing, painting, snacking etc. + So convenient that Auntie’s Playhouse supplies lunch! Simplified our life + our son was noticeably more open to eating “table foods” at home because he was trying lots of different foods at Aunties + Aunties has an organized walkie-talkie system so they can call in another teacher when the classroom gets to a certain number or if a kid needs a cool-down walk etc. I found this really professional and the result is that it’s not a big deal to drop off earlier than your usual time occasionally if you have an important meeting or whatever + Open until 6! We usually picked up by 5:20 or so but a few times when things came up at the end of our workdays it was so great that it wasn’t an emergency to get there at our typical time Our family had a great experience at Auntie’s Playhouse, and would definitely recommend it!"

"Aunties playhouse is amazing!! My daughter has been attending since she was 3 & my son started here as well & has been attending since he was 1. Both my children LOVE going to school. They absolutely love all their aunties! I can honestly say I couldn’t ask for a better place for my children to attend, they love & care for your children as if they were their own! I get multiple pictures and updates on my children throughout the whole day. They even have a app that allows me to chat with their aunties whenever I have questions, or just simply want to check how my child is doing. Before I enrolled them into here, I checked out a few other centers, but felt at home when I entered here and my children adapted so fast! Thank you Renee & all other aunties for proving a safe, loving & leaning center for my children and all others!!"

"I cannot say enough GREAT things about Auntie's Playhouse. My son attends their school age program and he absolutely loves it here. He's able to get a great education AND playtime with other kids, which has been wonderful with school being closed. The facility is incredibly clean, everyone is in masks, and temperatures taken daily. They have gone above and beyond to take extra steps/precautions to ensure everyone is kept safe and healthy. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! ❤"

"Our son has been going to Auntie's for almost a year now and we absolutely love it here. During the last year, he's transitioned from Infants to Waddler's to Toddler's and his development has just been amazing. We speak both Spanish and English in our home so it is so helpful that they do that there as well. All of the Auntie's have been so kind and loving towards him. Any questions or concerns we have, have always been acknowledged by office staff and they are very easy to get a hold of. Thank you Renee for running this amazing childcare center!"

"Aunties playhouse is the best daycare so far. I’ve been working there for 8 months and also my daughter going to care there. I have seen how aunties are. I can say that they are loves all the kids from their heart � I did too. I have to quite my job because of my life situation and trying to find new daycare for Ava.. I have looked for many places.. I love aunties playhouse better! So friendly and clean, and good secure, Renee is serious about leaning program too witch is I really loved about. I put Ava in a daycare, the center is small and not clean and she didn’t like it she said” I like my auntie Renee better mommy” so I had to pulled her out from that one and find another for her. It’s hard to find a good daycare for your child. But I trusted auntie playhouse with all my heart. I wish all daycare as good as aunties playhouse! You guys are rock!! If I didn’t leave too far I would never leave auntie playhouse. Renee the owner love her employees from her heart and care so much for all the kids. I see it in her eyes every time the way she looked at the kids and talks to them."
