Playhouse Childcare Center

My daughter has been attending the center for a little less then a year, she is 4 years old and previously was cared for by a family friend. When she started the center she was extremely shy and lacked confidence to try new things.
The teachers recognized this early and in the time she has been at the center she has advanced tremendously academically and socially. This is primarily due to the safe learning environment that the experienced teachers create.
My daughter is the youngest of 5 children and I have had many experiences with preschools in the San Francisco area, and I have never seen a school with an entire staff of such experienced, dedicated, and caring teachers.
Thank You Ms. Melissa, Ms. Rose, and Ms. Loree for all you do for the children, we are so very pleased with all of Isabella’s accomplishments this past year and that’s due to your dedicated and support you provide her and all the children!

My 2 youngest daughters have been going here since May of 2015. Melissa, the director, is incredible! She’s very helpful and always has the children’s best interests at heart. She is truly one of a kind. Enough cannot be said about the other staff members. Mrs. Rose is outstanding with her preschool program! When my daughter was assessed for private school she basically administered her own testing thanks to Mrs Rose’s time and dedication to preparing the kids for kindergarten. Miss Corrie (may not be correct spelling) is a wonder. My daughters absolutely loved her. Although it is late when I pick the girls up, she is happily engaging them in some activity and has a smile on her face. Thank you so much for the excellent attention and care you have given to my little girls. I would highly recommend these wonderful ladies to anyone in the area seeking childcare.

Been waiting to write a review of this preschool until my son was there a couple of months.
My 2 ½ year old son has been attending this school since June and so far it was good choice for him. He used to attend a bigger school in the SF area that was not diverse and he did not learn a thing. He enjoys going to school, even if it is early in the morning and he is the first kid there. The teachers are kind and caring and very accessible via email for updates or questions. They never seem bothered and always there to answer your questions no matter how tedious it. Looks like a good fit for my son and we will keep him here!

The best investment I’ve made in selecting this preschool/​daycare. This was a recommendation from a relative and I am pleased with our decision. My son has magnified his social development and learning skills. The teachers really do take their time in teaching the kids– they have three different stages based on their development and curriculum is well managed. The teachers keeps the parents up to date on a daily basis how their child did for the day. Whenever I need feedback of my child’s development, Ms Rose, Ms Melissa, Ms Cory and Ms Lori are always there to listen and help find ways to make it a fun and safe teaching environment. It is very hard to find a place where the teachers are genuine and who truly cares for the kids. I know my child is in great hands and always eager to speak with him during pick up because I know he has learned something new! Thank you for your hard work and dedication, you are an awesome team! If you are looking for a daycare, check this place out.

So my nephew was 3 when he started going to this daycare we dont pay for anything by the way government pays for it and its been a year. WE went on a family vacation for a month LAST APRIL-​MAY we came back they told us that we had to pay the whole month that we were gone for vacation but my mom couldnt afford it so they had to pull him out of the school the school tried to give us 50% off the the tuition fee but we cant really afford it and we really appreciate them doing that and even before we went on vacation hes always grumpy going to school (it was unusual for him cause hes always excited going to school) so 3 weeks not being in school my mom would teach him to write out of nowhere he said his teacher name MS. ROSE ALWAYS HITS HIM WITH A PENCIL ON HIS HEAD WHEN HE DOESNT LISTEN. not something that a 4 yr old would say AND ITS EASY TO TELL IF A KID IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH (and yes my nephew can be really be stubborn and hard headed at times but hes a sweetheart and very friendly and plus HES 4!!!) So i went to the school and complaint about it and they said that they will keep in touch with us and still NOTHING HAPPENED! its already been 3 weeks and never heard a phone call or never left a message regarding what happen and plsss TO ALL THE PARENTS THATS BRINGING THEIR KIDS HERE PLS TALKED TO THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT THEYRE NOT DOING THIS TO YOUR CHILDREN I WONT GET ANYTHING FOR MAKING THINGS UP. what upset me the most is that we never heard anything from them after i told them about it and i feel like it we werent taken seriously.

This school is outstanding. The environment is calm and the children are focused. The teachers have a real sense of providing a caring and loving environment. The materials are conducive to learning and the classrooms are set up to maximize the efforts of the children. There is a daily report of the activities of each day that is sent home with the children which is very helpful. Believe me. I was a teacher for 42 years in San Francisco and two-​time San Francisco teacher of the year. I know an excellent educational environment when I see it. This is childhood paradise.

I have had a wonderful experience at Playhouse Childcare Center. My son went here since he was 3 years old and graduated from Pre-​K this past June. The teachers Ms. Melissa, Ms. Rose, Ms. Cory & Ms. Stacy are awesome! They focus on kindness, respect, and provide a quality education. They keep the kids engaged and active all day long. They also provide sports for the children such as flag football, soccer, & basketball. They keep the parents involved as much as they can and we love the Christmas programs, Mother’s day & Father’s Day breakfast and the FUN field trips. I highly recommend this preschool.

My daughter went here for preschool (a year and a half) and she loved it here! Miss Melissa was great to work with. All of the teachers here were great too! There was sports available, a great classroom environment, and even field trips that my child truly enjoyed. It was sad having to leave Playhouse Childcare for Kindergarten but my daughter was more than ready for Kindergarten due to the pre-​K class this preschool provided for her. It was hard to choose the right preschool and I’m glad that I was referred here by one of my good friends! I definitely recommend Playhouse Childcare as a great preschool and pre-​K class for your little one.

Both of my children went here and when they did, I loved them being there. My son started here after the place was only opened a few months and he transitioned very well. The teachers are awesome, very sweet and care about the children. The prices are reasonable as well. I like how they include family and siblings in the activities that they do. On rainy days they go next door and play at the playhouse which I think is awesome. My son started Kindergarten and I had to eventually switch my daughter also due to location issues. But I loved the playhouse! It’s a great environment for the kids and the teachers are great.

I had my twins in this daycare for six months. The only reason we left was because my children start Kindergarten in the fall and I am off work during the summer. My children loved all of the teachers. They learnt lot of things from all of the fun educational activities which included social and emotional development.
Outside play is somewhat limited because of the size, but the school use the playhouse next door and the field across the road for organized sports. This almost makes up for it hence the four stars instead of five.
If you are looking for a preschool then this preschool is great for a parent who wants a safe fun loving place with dedicated knowledgeable teachers for their child.

I’d like to give 5 stars but since our son just started going here a few weeks, that may be too premature. However, so far so good. The teachers are great — professional and great with the kids. The facility is small but spacious for the max 24 kids. They also have access to the indoor play area next door on rainy/​foggy days so that’s a plus. It’s worth a visit to see if it’s for you and your child. Right next to the freeway too so easy access.
