Friends Playhouse Child Care

I have had an amazing experience with this center! My son started when he was 6 weeks old he is now 8 months. The directors are amazing and so sweet. If he is sick they message me after hours to check on him. Not only his teachers but teachers from other classrooms and the directors. When my son sees his teachers he lights up and smiles so big. They are happy to see him everyday and constantly stay in touch throughout the day with how he is doing. If you are looking for a place that truly cares about your children then this is the place to be. They also offer a once a month "date night" where they keep the kids until 10 pm. The center is also VERY clean. In the last 8 months I have never once been concerned about my child while he is in their care. All around amazing kind hearted staff.

I received a detailed description from my son concerning instances of him being spanked by his teachers in the three’s class. These allegations have understandably raised significant concerns, leading to my decision to withdraw my son. He is exceptionally bright and alert, with no reason to fabricate stories, and his narrative has remained consistent since he first informed me. When the incident was brought up to the teachers, assistant directors, and the center’s director, everyone was in ‘cahoots,’ and not a single staff member remained neutral during the meeting. Immediate support was given to the teachers, and the matter was quickly dismissed. I should have sensed a problem when my son clung to my leg every morning during drop-offs at this daycare center. I am filled with deep remorse for allowing my child to attend this place.

I love this daycare! My son has thrived since starting here and have had no issues. I would recommend this daycare to anyone. They love the kids as if they are their own and teach them so much. You will not regret putting your kids in this daycare! 10/10 recommend

I am so thankful for the childcare center!!! My daughter has been there for 7 years. She started as a toddler, and have never had issues with the teachers or management!!!! The staff members are always nice, loving and sweet to my daughter!! They are like no other childcare center and treat my daughter like their own. All this negative you hear about daycares these days is insane and I never have to worry about my daughter when she's there !!!! I would recommend this daycare to anyone!!!!!

My 2 year old son has been going to here since he was 1years old. Things turned for the worse when he went to the 2year old class. We have had several incidents where the teachers do not properly supervise the children, and will then lie on the incident reports. I found this out when I would go back and review the tape with Liz, the director, and saw that what was said on the incident report wasn't at all what happen to my son. I have pulled my son out of the this daycare as of March 21, 2018 after a teacher from a different class gave us a note that read "watch the video from Tuesday and Monday." Then the teacher said that my son was being mistreated. Once I watched the video with the director Liz, I saw that my son was being placed in time-out and left there from 15-20minutes, the assistant teacher Nikki(whom is her sister in-law) also PUT MY SON IN TIMEOUT IN THE BATHROOM AND LEFT HIM IN THERE. The footage from Monday showed my son, and other kids, being placed in time out and just left there. Then, I saw where the same teacher Nikki FORCEFULLY pushed my son by his head out of the room when he wasn't moving fast enough. I was so furious!! Liz said it herself that she was upset by what she saw and reassured me that she and the owner Deborah would write up Nikki and the lead teacher Kristen for this and Nikki would also get fired for forcefully putting her hands on my son. That did not at all happen. Deborah, the owner, called me on the phone afterwards and basically made excuses for why Nikki but her hands on my son, and why she also put my son in timeout in the nasty bathroom. Deborah said that they put kids in timeout in the bathroom if they feel the child needs quiet time. She also said that Nikki was frustrated with my 2year old son, totally putting the blame on him. She said that they will take Nikki out of the 2year class because she is overwhelmed, and will make her a "floater". But wasn't going to fire her.This daycare is unprofessional, uneducated, unsanitary,they don't follow a curriculum, and is owned by a women that does not care about the well being of the children in her center.They have lied to me and family on numerous occasions and are clearly okay with teachers bullying and mistreating kids. What happen to my son was disgusting. Every time I think about my son being left in the bathroom and forcefully pushed, hurts me to my core.
