“I have had two children graduate from Playgarden. They both became confident and independent children with a great love for learning. The teachers at Playgarden are unparalleled, teaching early literacy skills and science alongside all of the social-emotional skills early learners need. I have yet to come across a school environment that is as purposeful and communicative. Playgarden not only provided an incredible education that had my children prepared for their next schools, but they were also integral partners in the ex-missions process, placing them in the best preschools and ongoing schools.”
“The truly exceptional teachers really get to know your child and what he or she needs. My son is really learning – not just his letters and how to write, but how to be independent and how to be a good friend.”
“Playgarden Prep holds a special place in my heart. Our child really embraced and thrived in the Montessori based curriculum. He learned so much academically and emotionally, while becoming such an independent creative thinker. He made real connections with the teachers and his classmates that we will never forget.”
“I never thought I could be in love with my child’s preschool until she started at Playgarden Prep. This school has set the bar for me for my children’s education. The teachers are warm, incredibly engaged, caring and made transition to drop-off easy. Their educational material is impressive and has set the stage for my child to enjoy becoming a lifelong learner.”
“Playgarden is very special. My son is so lucky to have had these past two years in the most nurturing, enriching and beautiful environment they have masterfully created. ”
“When it came time to make the decision of where to send our daughter to school, Playgarden Prep was our obvious first choice. We are so impressed with the teaching style and the state of the art facility. Our daughter always has the biggest smile on her face when we ask her about school. We’re so happy to be part of the Playgarden Prep family!”
“Playgarden is a place that truly helped my son thrive! He attended class at the UES location for 3 years and in that time his growth both intellectually and socially was tremendous. As an educator myself I was consistently impressed with the amount of care placed into every aspect of his education there. The facility was always immaculate and thoughtfully planned out with activities perfect for the very young child. Their curriculum has helped set a foundation for his work in Kindergarten and has proven to be invaluable. We could not have found a better environment for his early learning career.”
“Our daughters have learned so much with Playgarden Prep, not only educationally but socially too. The curriculum is impressive, flexible and well rounded. Our daughters also adore the Playgarden songs and listen to them every day. These songs and the Playgarden Prep teachers have become a part of our family. ”
“You guys are amazing… my daughter knows letters, numbers, continents & planets before she even turned 3 and that barely scratches the surface! Thanks for helping parents give their kids real learning!”
