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.

We trust them with our child. They are organized, have clean classes with clean and new beds for…read moreall the babies. The classes don't have any clutter that poses falling hazards for toddlers and babies. They don't have any cameras, but they have an app that they upload every single food, entry change of diapers and nap-this keeps you involved in what's going on. They also upload pictures of every day activities. The teachers really care about the well-being of the children. At the beginning of our little one's attendance - the teacher sent a message that our baby was being extra sensitive that day, not his best day, and we were happy to go get him. (He was sick and feeling icky). We also like how caring the management team is - and how involved they are with day to day activities. We are happy to have found a spot for our baby at this organization. Highly recommended.

If I could give it 0, I would. Kayte (director) and Jen (owner) lied to me about having a spot on…read morethe waitlist, reversing their statements once a spot was open. Instead, labeling my child as needing "intensive behavioral support" based on our tour, where he was well behaved and the staff never corrected or redirected him. They used this need to justify not allowing him to attend at that location, stating he needed to attend one of their other locations, which could over a smaller class size which could better support his behavior problem. Yet when I asked for their observations so that I could address it with my medical team, I was told nothing. What type of person would lie about a 2 year old? And if they weren't lying, then why not support a mother in getting a child proper care by supplying evidence to bring to the doctor? Clearly, it's not about the children, just the money. Such a shame.

They take this very seriously and we are so thankful as we've been lucky to have them open and available during most of the pandemic! From the moment we first toured the school we knew Jen's attitude (and the schools mantra) about nature based learning were aligned with our goals of providing structure and learning together with the outdoors and exploring. Jen and her staff communicate well and really strive to get to know each family - they have become family to us! We recommend this school to all of our friends moving to the area!

The most expensive glorified daycare there is with both owner and director having no child skills…read moreand no desire to even be around children or wanting anything to do with parents. There's zero communication no matter how hard you try unless you count passive aggressive e-mails days to weeks later. Sure you get a few photos during the day but try getting a hold of anyone and the phone just rings, or you never get a phone call or e-mail back. Teachers seem inexperienced to actually teach anything worthwhile, pre-k and k are run like a daycare just with tables labeled "art", "snacks" and so forth. Their scapegoat is to say they emphasize "learning through play" so they don't have to put in the effort. $1000 month for HALF days but nothing to show for this insane amount of tuition besides other kids families bringing in goody bags or snacks. They make you fill out novels of paperwork beforehand but don't even read the documents they make you turn in! Your child has a food allergy? They ignore it and give your child that food. My kiddo comes home saying they had a stomachache and told the teacher they felt sick, but you get no report or phone call?! - just to find out with questioning your child that they're feeding your kiddo their allergen!! The next day they sent him home WITH his allergen food AFTER I called and asked why he was eating said allergen and the teacher called me saying " I didn't see that but I'm looking at it now" say what?!! To add insult to injury they make you give 30 days paid notice to unenroll and then you finally get communication FAST from their see you aunt tee director demanding payment, daily kind you.. demanding it daily. Please research and read other reviews that say exactly this about this disgraceful "school". I wish I had and saved 2k.

We loved TLT! Unfortunately, we had to pull our kids out at the beginning of the pandemic because I…read moream high risk but our two kids (2yo & 3yo at the time) LOVED it here! They do great activities with the kids and all of their employees are wonderful. It's unfortunate that someone gave a 1 star review just because of the fact that TLT charged a fee during Covid. They send out a very honest explanation and at the time were not being offered any special help /programs from the government as other businesses were. They were faced with a very difficult decision and instead of shutting down their doors and leaving tons of parents scrambling, they stayed opened and very transparent of their decision to charge. I was not thrilled about paying either but to me it was worth it and they really didn't have any other options. As far as the other woman that posted a bad review. It sounds like you're not going to be a "good fit" anywhere. If your child requires alone time, that's going to involve another staff member to supervise this child so that he/she can be alone. Not to mention a free space to do this in. Sounds like you should consider an at home nanny service instead of expecting a daycare to conform to your very specific, high level needs. I looked at her profile and she's given 1-2 stars to 4 other area day cares. At some point, you've got stop and think, "maybe it's not them....maybe it's me" I find the need to point this out because I don't think it's fair to TLT or inquiring parents looking at the ratings to base your decisions off two reviews that really aren't relavent to how wonderful this place truly is. Bottom line, our kids loved it here. The staff is incredibly generous and truly cared for our children. I've never felt more comfortable leaving my kids with anyone else than I have here so THANK YOU ALL!!

My youngest has been at Mudpies since birth and gets excited everyday at drop-off. He jumps into the arms of the teachers and turns to me to say "bye mama"! It really is the best feeling in the world that our kids love where they spend a lot of their time during the week. They learn so much - always different activities! Also, it is very important to us that our kids play outside everyday and to learn about the environment around them. We love that Mudpies values how important it is for kids to be outside. I really can't say enough good things about Mudpies and most importantly about the staff. I NEVER worry about my kids in their care. They feel like our extended family. The heart of Mudpies is an excellent team of enthusiastic and loving staff.
