Our experience has been entirely different from the negative reviews here on Google and I wanted to chime in. My child has been at the Playhouse for 1.5 years and we are so thankful for the caring, experienced, accessible teachers there (most have been there for 5+ years and one for 10 years). The student teacher ratio there is 4:1 and often there is even more support present than that. My childs language abilities have grown at an astounding rate and my child has also become skilled at naming feelings and working through anger and frustration. It is quite clear that the Playhouse is the lifes work and great passion of its founder, Ms. Diana, and she can clearly articulate her teaching philosophy and even writes songs for the kids and leads them in meditation techniques. The children are all diverse and kind and well-thought-out rules like identical tote bags do a great job of establishing equality and consistency. Thank you to the Playhouse and its teachers for all their hard work!

I have been working at The Childrens Playhouse for 10 years and my son attends the Mile Square Road location. I cannot stress enough what a great, enriching program it is. The kids are so kind to one another. We get visits every year from our Playhouse graduates, some even volunteer as teens. The Playhouse is a family, one that I am proud to be apart of.

Had an awful experience. Do not send your children there. The directors were insensitive and dismissive when a major issue arose. Check the States inspection report, there are major issues with compliance, one of which deals with their background checks of employees. That is just the tip of the ice berg. Keep you children away for their own good.

I don’t recommend this place at all, the owner is so strict with this kids and she only cares about her money. I don’t find this place safe in the basement. If you guys care about your children find a better place and a better environment for them. Good luck

There’s better preschool in the area, don’t waste your time and you money here. Your kids deserve a better and safety place to learn.

The children’s playhouse is the most amazing place for children, for our family it was an extended one with the playhouse, Miss Tara and Miss Jennifer were so wonderful to my little boy Shay and went out of there way to make him feel happy and loved we got a report every evening, they never rushed us out the door and explained his daily activities, they posted a beautiful menu everyday at the door and was constantly feeding the children with the best of food, Shay learned how to dress himself and learned so many wonderful fine motor skills with them, our intentions were to return to Ireland but we now may be staying on if so we would be more than delighted for Shay to stay with the children’s playhouse thank you so much Ladies

I have been working at The ​Childrens ​Playhouse for 5 years and do​ not ​recognize any of the names of parents who posted negative comments. Comments posted by Josue Vega, Evelyn Pagan, Camille Lopez​ and ​Carolina Martinez were all posted in the last month and are ​either impersonations​ or have children attending a different Childrens Playhouse​, [I believe there is more than one].Their comments are not valid here, especially concerning the violation of hiring teachers without thorough background checks. When I reviewed the Compliance History for The Childrens Playhouse of Yonkers, no such violation exists.I agree with Christina and Mary who both have children attending The​ Childrens​ Playhouse​ of Yonkers​, that it is a wise decision to send children ​here for a stimulating, nurturing experience. The D​irector and teachers are caring and loving while helping children grow to their full potential through a full and rich curriculum. ​Parents can view our web page to see what other enrolled parents have written.​Do come to visit and see for yourself.Arlie ​K​etchum

Make sure you read the contract before you sign it, if you don’t want to pay for thousand of dollars. She been doing that for years to many parents. doing small claims at the court.

My daughter has been with the Playhouse since she was about 2. She is starting pre-k at Pearls on Monday after scoring in the 99.9th percentile on the WPPSI4 acceptance exam! All of the teachers at the Playhouse have played a huge role in that! Weve always known our baby was advanced but the Playhouse has helped her excel in so many ways and has kept her challenged and INTERESTED more importantly! Looking back, I couldnt imagine sending her anywhere else and we cant wait to put our youngest in too! Thank you Ms. Diana and all of the wonderful Playhouse staff! You have become family and we are so happy that DeeDee will still have the pleasure of being with you all after school everyday! We love you guys!

Don’t waste your money, time and your child safety and development in this preschool.
