I can not say enough kind words about The Play School. It is hands down one of the best daycares you could send your child to. The Owners and Directors are heavily involved and supportive of both the teachers and students, I’ve been to multiple childcare facilities and have yet to find one that is as supportive, kind and caring as the Play School. They truly go above and beyond to make sure the teachers and students are happy. This sets the tone for the rest of the building and allows the teachers to be genuinely happy and focus on providing a fun and safe learning environment for the children.There are tons of activities to keep the kids busy throughout the day Including an indoor climbing gym, Sensory room for gross motor, a new basketball gym, and a Star cafe where the teachers can introduce the children to cooking, baking, etc. I would highly recommend The Play Schools to anyone looking for a quality childcare center.

We have had our little guy in there for over a year and couldn't be happier. We had a big transition from home to daycare and they made it so easy on us, not to mention we have the playschool to thank for basically potty training him. He loves everyone from the front desk to all the teachers and friends he has made. I own a small business and I have referred so many mommas here. I have had experience with our oldest son at other well known corporate daycares and I can see such a huge difference. The teachers always have smiles on their faces and I have seen very minimal turnover. Which was what we ran into at previous daycares. I can't say enough about how happy we are with the playschool.

A well-polished turd. They know how to make a good impression when people are watching, but in reality are not even complying with Paths to Quality Level 2 guidelines. If you're looking for an over-priced daycare where burned out and jaded teachers do the bare minimum while criticizing your under-stimulated 3-year-old for behaving "like a baby," The Play School at Legacy may be the place for your child! If you want your 4-year-old to be forced to lay on a cot and be silent for 2.5 hours with nothing to do--not even a book--even though they've self-weaned from napping, The Play School at Legacy is definitely right for you. But if you're a loving parent, I would strongly recommend that you look into other options and maybe even splurge for a Level 4 center where there is hopefully a higher degree of accountability.

We have had a great experience with The Play School at Legacy. My younger daughter has attended for almost two years and is now in pre-k. She has so much fun and is very ready for Kindergarten. The curriculum is very much play based and they keep the kids busy with fun, educational activities. My older daughter is in 1st grade and attends after care. We love how much space the kids have to play. The culture they have created for the staff and families is the best I’ve ever been around this is the 3rd daycare I’ve used. Everyone seems happy to be at work and communication with kids and families is outstanding.

We are so grateful that we found the Play School! After touring a couple of centers, the Play School was by far the cleanest, most engaging and has friendly and personal teachers. I love seeing the daily pictures of what my boys are doing throughout the day and know they are getting engaged. My infants are engaged with sensory activities that go above my imagination and I love the effort they put into their care. Love knowing my boys are loved on throughout the day!

We are so grateful to have found a community of trusted care with the Playschool at Legacy. We were referred to this daycare by close friends and Playschool was not only able to enroll us, they were willing to make a space in the exact classroom we requested. As a new/first-time mom, I am so grateful for how easy it was to figure out childcare and slip into a manageable routine getting back to work. 5 stars for the incredible directors, teachers, and smiling faces at Playschool Legacy. Thanks for all that you do for us!

Awesome experience! We've been using The Play School at Legacy for our childcare for two years now. We have utilized it for our first daughter since she began childcare and didn't have to think twice about where to enroll our 2nd daughter. Everyone I've interacted with at The Play School has given me or my children a positive experience. I'd recommend this childcare facility to anyone looking for one without hesitation. Their use of the brightwheel app helps me feel informed throughout the day and my children always seem to have a good time when they attend the Play School.

We have been at Play School Legacy for a few years and are impressed by the staff, the programs, and the facility. The teachers are wonderful and have helped our children grow and develop in a fun and engaging environment. It’s the first place where my kids don’t want to leave early or be picked up at all!! They are loved by the team there and love going everyday!!

Our kids get excited every day to go to school at Play School. Both pairs of teachers take interest in our kids and truly care for them. The schools flexibility and communication with parents is great as well. Would definitely recommend sending your kids there.

We’ve enjoyed the Playschool and have found the infant and toddler classes very helpful in our child’s development. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and goes the extra mile for the kids.Teachers also utilize the Brightwheel app, which is fun and informative to see what the kids are doing, what they’ve eaten, etc. I would highly recommend the Playschool.

Our son has attended The Playschool at Legacy since he was three months old. He is now 2. A few weeks ago the school had a huge covid outbreak. When we questioned the owner on their cleaning practices and doing more than the status quo, she replied via a text in the Brightwheel app that our son was no longer welcome. We set aside our pride and begged them to let us stay for his sake and to this day they have not responded to any of our messages. You can see from other reviews, this is standard practice for them. The replies that this happened under previous ownership are untrue as I had a chance to connect with some families this has happened to and the same person who kicked them out, kicked us out. This is a family owned business and ownership has not changed. To make matters worse, there have been instances in which the owner has made comments to people about kicking out the "nasty parents". This is a toxic environment for parents and children. You cannot voice concerns without the risk of removal. I have screenshots of all messages just in case they try to say this is not true and I am happy to share them. The owners ego is more important than the well being of the children.Having said all of this, the teachers and other staff are wonderful. It is sad that the ownership casts a dark shadow over these great people.

Our son had been at Legacy since he was 3 months old. He is now 2. Recently the school had an abundance of teachers and students test positive for Covid. My wife and I both inquired about specific actions they were taking to stop or even slow down, spread. After multiple company standard answers and more positive tests, I sent a stern, yet professional and respectable note to the director & asked that they share with the owner, that expressed the frustration we were feeling as parents on gaining more insight into the steps they were taking. Mind you, we were paying them to keep our son home that week because multiple children in his class had tested positive for Covid and that combined with the administrators unwillingness to share as well as put into action further steps, to slow the spread, was leading to great deal of frustration. The message was meant to initiate a positive & respectable conversation and allow them to not only further inform us as parents, but also provide us with a sense of comfort in knowing the school was going above and beyond to care for the children that attend their school beyond the teachers cleaning their rooms at the end of a long day.The next (and only) message we received after this was nothing short of shocking, from a professional standpoint, especially coming from one of the owners of the company. In short, instead of setting a time to speak where they could further clarify, the owner told us that our 2 year-old was no longer allowed to attend their school from that day moving forward. After receiving the message, my wife and I (swallowing our pride, because we knew what we were asking, was not out of line) apologized if the message was taken out of context and begged for them not to remove our son from the friends he had grown up with. Neither of our messages were returned. Furthermore, my wife left a voice-mail, crying, and no one, from the school nor the owners, had the common decency or professionalism, to return her call.As upsetting as this was to my wife and I, we were more upset about what would've happen if it was a child whose parents had similar asks and was told their child was no longer welcomed to go to school with the friends he essentially had grown up with and that same parent could not afford to go to another daycare. My wife and I were very lucky to get our son into another daycare, though it will cost more. We were very grateful and lucky, as most daycares in our area had anywhere from a 4-6 month wait list, some more.To tie it all together, the following week, Legacy had a conference for their staff on one of the Holidays they were closed. During that meeting, we were informed by multiple staff members, that the owner said something the effect of "we make sure to get rid of the nasty parents." So, in the eyes of the owner(s), "Nasty Parents" are those who actually have the gull to question the the schools methods and want further clarification. We have spoken to several other daycares and administrators at other schools, along with several other parents and they all expressed a sense of shock and anger over this treatment. For us, it was never what they were doing to us. This was a punishment to our 2 year old child, and to any parent, that's unacceptable, as is the professionalism this daycare exhibited.We want to make one thing clear, as was noted in the message we sent to the school, this IS NOT a detriment towards the teachers and staff. Rather, this is towards the administrators & owners who seemingly do not want to be questioned or provide a sense of comfort to worried parents.If you are interested in learning more, we have the receitpts to confirm everything refernced previously, including the emails and messages via the Brightwheel app.

Terrible place - snobbish, clickish, and completely and utterly unwelcoming if you are not part of the cool, white, preppy crowd from the area.They have teachers testing positive for Covid - who knows what they do, how careful they've been, or what their social habits are - but the fact of the matter is that they expect parents to PAY THE FULL TUITION even though the school is forcing the students' in those teachers' classrooms to STAY HOME. Why is it the parents' responsibility to 1) find alternate childcare, and 2) pay the extra expense of an additional child care alternative?My advice is, unless you want your child to spend those precious formative years in a bubble of overly-edulcorated and unwelcoming-to-those-from-different-backgrounds, find another place. There are many competent, compassionate, and professional childcare facilities in the area.

I recently called to inquire about availability for my niece and nephew, in order to help my brother in law collect some information for childcare. Him and his wife are currently going through a divorce and I have experience working in the childcare industry so I offered to help him.When I called, the person who answered the phone didn't introduce themselves and was very short. When I told her that I was inquiring for my niece and nephew, shared with her their ages and asked for availability - she quickly responded "Well we currently have wait-lists for both of the rooms so you would need to schedule a tour. That's your next step." I told her I would need to ask my brother in law if/when he would like to schedule a tour when she rudely interrupted me and said "Okay. Thanks. Have a good day." Her tone was so forward and the response seemed so odd, that I thought she was talking to someone in person who was at the school and not to me. So I started to ask if there would be availability in the summer when she said "Oh. Okay." in a way that seemed as if she was asking herself (why is this woman still talking to me.) When I went to restart my sentence, she then interrupted me AGAIN and said "Like I said. We are completely full and we are on an enrollment freeze. Okay? Okay. Thanks!" and then hung up on me.I am still shocked that she spoke to me that way. It was rude and wildly unprofessional. But I suppose if they truly are as full as they say they are, they don't need to work to be nice to new inquiries! Sad but possibly true.
