The way the staff communicates to the children with active listening continues to inform all of my human interactions. Playhouse still has our hearts. I won't take the Playhouse bumper sticker off of my minivan- even though our last child graduated 2 years ago. I want other Playhouse families to recognize us- because those are some of the best parents I've met on this journey yet.

The teachers and directors are incredibly warm and absolutely pros. Career early educators who are nurturing and attentive to children's needs and behaviors. The building is small and very clean, with classrooms that are full of interesting activities and toys that are well kept and well loved. I can't say enough good things, an absolute gem.

My daughter started Goddard (Jan 2021) when our preschool in South Orange abruptly closed during…read morethe pandemic. The facility is exceptionally clean and they had no disruption with Covid. I believe they stayed open the entire time. We were so blown away with how well the school was sanitized daily. It felt like the right place to enroll my son as an infant. Comparing our experience with two daycares my daughter attended.. at Goddard my children are rarely sick or sent home. Like both my kids missed no more than 3 days in 3 years. Goddard really values keeping kids healthy and safe. I enrolled my son around 10 months old and it was a great transition. The teachers in the infant room were so pleasant and truly are like family. They were very accommodating with special requests about milk and nap time. Speaking of communication, I give the admin staff 5 stars with how well they run the front office. They have exceptional follow up and communication-daily reminders, photos, reports and weekly newsletters. I also appreciate the diversity of the staff and families. As a mom of color, I really love that. There have been many special events to bring the community together. My favorite events have been Halloween parade, the carnival, the "prom" for graduating class and Mother's Day/Father's Day appreciation. So much thought goes into all these celebrations and it's special. Once older, my kids were constantly entertained with art, yoga, music, water play, so many fun things. Always tired from a fun day. While the tuition may not be the cheapest -- you get what you pay for. It's well worth it for the safety, health and well being of our children. I highly recommend!

My review is based on my recent tour. The staff seemed pleasant as was the owner who facilitated my…read moretour. But the price point, paired with the lack of color, excess of whites and grays and somber feel of the facility didn't scream childcare to me. Felt like I was walking into a prep school for much older kids and couldn't envision my 6 month old enrolled here. Location is great for Montclair residents but in the same vein, they applied the Montclair-esq pricing...the curriculum for the various age groups was also underwhelming in my opinion. My sentiment upon exiting was "meh"

In fact, we are frequently surprised when she tells us a new thing she learned each day at school. The teachers and administration clearly care deeply about the students and it shows in the level of care and education they deliver. I recommend this school to any parents in the area looking for child care. I especially want to commend them on how they are handling everything during the pandemic. It's certainly no easy task to manage a school during this time. They are communicating transparently and ensuring safety is the #1 priority, all while giving the kids an "as normal as possible" school experience. I give them a big shout-out and kudos!

They avail the kids to the latest in educational methods - always include sensory experience. I could not ask for a better school (more like a community) for my child!

It's really a shame that this place doesn't truly serve the community that its surrounded by, other than the childcare center, which I hear good things about. The women's locker room alone is so desolate it's kinda scary. I dont feel safe showering there. They also have no towels in the locker rooms. Tried to sign up for swim lessons but it was like pulling teeth even trying to reach anyone associated with aquatics. I am very shocked at the lack of customer attention/service here.

Nadia the director helped us figure out a schedule to transition him in before he was full time. Then this was his first time in full time care and all of the teachers were so warm and caring that he was immediately eager to go to school every day. It is a fairly small school so our son was thrilled to get to know some of the "big" kids and eager to move up a class each year. He constantly amazes us with all he has learned at LPP and he loves the enrichment classes he takes like art, dance, science, and music. Since the school is in downtown Maplewood, the kids get to spend outdoor time in Memorial Park, walk over to the library, and explore on walks. We greatly appreciate the great hours as two commuting parents. Most important to us is how we see LPP helping our son become a kind and caring citizen of the world. He loves to "play play play" at school and we see how he is doing that and much more at LPP. Can't wait to send our younger child there when she is old enough!

She's very responsive, honest, and instills confidence that our kid is being taken care of by someone who clearly knows how important even the little details are to parents and young kids. Our son transitioned up while there, so he was in two different rooms. First, Ms Betsy and Ms Sandra took care of him with all the other youngest kids. Next he went down the hall to Ms. Sue and Ms Sarah. Each caregiver was great. After the initial adjustment periods our son would run happily into "class" every morning. And when my wife had surgery and couldn't lift, Ms Jane would come out personally to carry our little guy in and out of the building (on site parking was great, by the way). Highly recommend!!!
