Testimonials from our community

  • When we moved to Montclair, we felt a bit overwhelmed by all of the daycare options. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a warm, inviting, and accepting environment at Playhouse.

    Eva, Current Playhouse Family

  • When I was looking for preschools, my top criteria were that it be a play-based environment that is welcoming to all, tuned to individual needs, and full of creativity. Both my children and I formed lifelong bonds with the teachers, staff, and other families we met during our time there.

    Jamie, Former Playhouse Family

  • My child absolutely loves the play-based approach, and so do I. Everything is so well thought out and the teachers keep it fun while engaging his natural curiosity.
