Play, Laugh, & Grow has been nothing short of amazing for my kids!! We moved to Raymond, NH from MA…read moreand we were looking for a preschool for our 3 & 4 year olds. They had never attended preschool before so we were (and they!) were very nervous. PLG made us feel like family instantly! They were so welcoming and accommodating. They are constantly sending pics and updates throughout the day through the app which put me at ease. They do awesome and fun activities during the day. My kids can't wait to go to school the next day. My daughter actually gets upset when I pick her up because she doesn't want to leave! lol If you are looking for a preschool for your child, look no further! PLG is absolutely wonderful!! Lastly, their pricing is very competitive. I have friends who are paying double what we pay! The facility is also brand new and beautiful! Everything is super clean and they have an awesome new playground too! We couldn't be happier :)

My child needed socialization & went 2 days a week Mon & Fri. We were new & missed 2 snow days. I…read moremessaged the owner Kristy DeCesare & said Monday is a holiday could my daughter make up that day. She was extremely rude and said no there are no make ups. I said there are 9 holidays that fall on her day . She said you pay for all of them & we don't let you make up any days. Good Luck . There's a wait list all over town. I called her to get more clarity & her AD answered . She was coarse, uncaring & just as rude. She said I don't care. Every daycare in town is full. Good Luck finding one. You should have known this before you signed up. I didn't know & their policy should be more transparent about closed days especially if the customers pays for the days. However , it's their business they can make up whatever policy they want. However, their heartless attitude , rudeness & bullying behavior is not okay. They take advantage of mother's stuck with no other availability around town. Kristy also has a two week policy when leaving and she told me my child could not finish the two weeks. She said we are done. Good Luck finding a center. Her policies are in place for her only. I asked on the town's FB page about peoples' experience with PLAY LAUGH & GROW. I got 8 negative messages & one positive one. They complained about the etiquette of owners & AD ; kids getting hurt without an accident report , several more complaints & said stay away from this center . The owner text me how dare you asked the community about my business . I said, " I am a customer. Customers go by word of mouth. " I told her I got several bad messages about her business in a few hours. She text me "If you make a bad review about PLAY LAUGH & GROW I will take you to court and my lawyer demands you to send all the messages I got on FB." Threatening me if I write a bad review is a violating of the Customer Review Fairness Act. A day later , I got a call from a Chester police officer saying Kristy called them seeing if they could advise me not to make a bad review. I am only expressing my honest experience with Kristy DeCesare and Rachel Whiteneck at PLAY , LAUGH & GROW hoping this will give future customers information & the first amendment gives me the right to do so. She had a few nice ladies working there . Unfortunately, one left. This business has too many red flags. I wouldn't recommend it at all. In my opinion, they are focusing solely on the $ and are ignoring the heart and soul of the business; the families . They shouldn't call themselves a preschool simply a daycare. If anyone doubts these communications happened please contact me . I have all of Kristy's text saved & the officer's message. I don't enjoy making a bad review. However, in this case I was morally treated badly & felt obliged to document this in hope this facility will start caring about the way the treat people.

My two children have attended the children's greenhouse for three years. The Children's Greenhouse…read morehouse has provided a great foundation for my kids. They're constantly learning and I'm surprised each week as to what activities, and projects they work on. The Children's Greenhouse provides healthy snacks and lunch everyday. They provide organic food and clean with green products. Our prior daycare provider always smelled like bleach at the end of the day, but that's never the case here. I've been very pleased with the staff over the years and my kids love the teachers, director, and owner. I've referred family and friends over the past few years. Check them out if you haven't.

The infant teacher, Meegan, is the most creative infant teacher I've seen. Our daughter makes lots of little crafts that we're going to treasure forever. The only thing that's keeping me from giving them 5 stars is that they don't really have a good playground for the kids to play outside. But the place is still fairly new so hopefully if they ever move to a bigger location (which they might need to soon because it's filled up quickly!), they'll hopefully find a place with a bigger playground.

They offer all meals and on-site "field trip" experiences. We loved! all of the outdoor time and hands-on learning. MJ (PreK-K teacher) has a way with children and can control a room with empathy and kindness. To walk in on a dozen 3-5 year olds all happily and calmly reading books is an amazing site. Also, Director Lynn is a gem! Leaving your Little is difficult already, Lynn provides comfort and professionalism that make the situation easier. We immediately felt part of the family. Will forever be grateful for our time there. Thank you MJ & Lynn!!! Sending all our love and thanks.

I prepare her lunch in a bento box every school day and they did not provide it to her, rather they provided her with someone else's lunch and she has a severe peanut allergy (she will have a reaction even if her skin comes into contact with it). It took me two days to get answers as to why my daughter was not given her lunch. That same day, her very own teacher had no idea if she even napped that day. It was also a water play day and her water bottle was bone dry when I picked her up. So she was not given basic necessities - her carefully packed lunch and water. On another occasion, she didn't nap for the full rest period and because they are always short staffed and not meeting ratios, she sat in the hallway by the door and watched Minnie Mouse on the assistant director's phone while she "sent some emails". There were 3 occasions where I picked my daughter up and one of the staff members was sitting in her car with the drivers side door open, one leg in the car and one leg out, on her phone, and she would always come in the building immediately after I walked in. So many things went horribly wrong over a one month span of part time childcare. We waited 2.5 years to send our daughter to daycare and this is what happened with our first experience. My daughter coming into contact with food that was not provided by me could have resulted in a life-threatening emergency situation, and it took days to get answers and those answers were just one lie after another. The owner will lie straight to your face and treat you like you are dumb for even questioning her. She also tried to charge us for an additional two weeks because it's in the "contract". They didn't provide basic necessities to my child and yet they still expect us to pay for another two weeks of "care". It is absolutely appalling and I don't want any other parent to have to go through what we've went through with this center. If you don't trust my review, please look this center up on the NH DHHS CCLU website to see their history with the licensing board. Repeat violations, children being left unattended on numerous occasions, not complying with ratios, and documented lies between the owner and her staff about lying about attendance records and ratios. Look it up for yourself. Please do your research and keep yourself informed to prevent going through what we have gone through with this awful center.
