They are extremely communicative about what they do each day with your child and how your child is doing, and it is clear that the entire staff loves what they do each and every day. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of childcare!

I met with Karen, the director, after a girlfriend of mine recommended them. We walked throughout the entire school, not just the infant room- which is what we needed. The do in house field trips! They go all the way up to kindergarten, and while touring, I could tell all the staff and kids were happy. This is important to me, as I want the best for my child. They have a chef! They introduce nutritional meals and plant a seed of understanding food groups at a young age, to instill healthy food choices as they grow. I LOVE THIS! I was talking to a neighbor mom who couldn't understand why they would have a chef, and to ME, it's important. Because cooking, prepping, rationing out snacks and meals, is tough sometimes. I run a business and manage an office, and my husband works starting his days at 630 at a glass contracting facility, so we are BUSY! Knowing my daughter can get the proper attention and great food, makes me feel VERY confident that I'm providing her with the best school. They have monitors and video cameras, which helps me feel the kids are safe. There's monitors in the front lobby. Everything was clean, everything was labeled, and it felt like they're managed very well. From sign language, to educational groups, to the hands on staff- I just feel this is the best center in town. I literally cried in the parking lot! My only complaint is the price. It's nearly double what other daycares nearby offer! Their full-time rate is 500$. I understand they offer a LOT and it's the best of the best, but 3-400 range would be more appropriate in my opinion. Worth the tour! the kids will thrive! This is our dream daycare!

I certainly was extra stressed with the process of getting twins acclimated to the daycare environment at 15 months (they were at home with a nanny before this), but everyone from the the teachers and staff and director helped make the process work. They girls have their primary teacher, but are constantly interacting with different groups of kids and teachers and staff. This has been wonderful in getting them accustomed to new people outside of the school environment. They used to be very shy about meeting new people but its a comfortable process being in new places now. The school also helps me as a first time mom with many questions I'll have about different things the kids experience. An added bonus that extends beyond the school environemnt!

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 :)

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.

I'm baffled by the only other review of Half Pints. I can only assume this person is either a very…read moredisgruntled parent or a, ex-worker. A Yelp member with only one review that is a 1 star is always suspect and I'm surprised that the Yelp filter did not hide it. In the time our child has been at Half Pints, everyone that works here have nothing but professional and bright. Cathy the owner is 100% the complete opposite of what the other reviewer stated. She is friendly, warm, engaging and an extremely knowledgeable at running a large daycare center. Any issues we have brought to her have always been handled right away and with extreme professionalism. She truly has always put our child's care first above of money. The comment about her being only concerned about money is actually laughable. We have always made our daycare payments on time. I'd imagine if parents were behind with their payments, they would be spoken to about it. Perhaps the other reviewer couldn't pay on time and got a warning, as they should. All the teachers at HPLC work extremely hard to care for our infants, toddler, and kids and they deserve to be paid for it. After going on many tours and comparing rates, they were right around the middle of the road. In fact, they are the only center we found that offer 10 days of free tuition to use for vacation or sick days. The co-directors, Cathy, Amy or any of the teachers at HPLC are always available to chat with or ask questions. It's a great comfort that they have a nurse on site, the co-director Amy. The center itself is modern, well equipped with toys, activities and is very safe with a security system and controlled access. The indoor gymnasium is an amazing addition that most centers do not have. Perfect for days it is too hot, wet or cold to go out in. Our child has been thriving here and has learned a lot from her teachers and socializing with other children. Everyone we have interfaced with has extensive knowledge and experience to be in this profession. I don't get the comment about teachers always being on phones. HPLC has a strict no phone during work policy and they enforce it. I highly recommend checking them out for your child.

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.
