Director's and Parents' Comments
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Child's Play is a an excellent school. The focus is kindergarten readiness and I feel both of my children have become more independent and self-reliant after going to this preschool. The school does emphasize kindergarten readiness but there is plenty of play and fun and both kids looked forward to going and enjoyed their experience there. (One is still attending).
Parent #2
parents all friendly and many have had children/siblings there for many years

Discipline
| OVERALL RATING (5.0) |

| Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Parents' Admission Tips
Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions
Parent #1
I am a parish member. Parents with children in the program get first priority, then registration is opened to the parish. Remaining slots are open to the public. The parish is very large, so public slots are few.
