Parents' Comments
Parent #1
We LOVE this school! Creative Playhouse is a very good preschool. The school is always very clean and well kept. The teachers and director are great; and they plan such creative and fun projects for the children. They emphasize on open comminication with the children, parents and teachers. School rules are reminded constantly and discipline is done in a positive manner... Overall, my daughter comes home happy and excited to go back to school the next day. We are absolutely thrilled with Creative Playhouse Preschool.
Parent #2
My husband and I moved to Moraga almost two years ago. We researched all the schools in Moraga and found Creative Playhouse to be a warm and loving environment. Our oldest son graduated from Creative Playhouse last June 2009 and he was more than ready for kindergarten. Our daughter turns 2 in March and she too will be starting Creative Playhouse in Spring. The teachers and director are awesome and I would recommend Creative Playhouse to anyone.
Parent #3
High turnover of teachers, very limited communication between teachers and parents, minimal academics, and not very stimulating. Disipline is limited to time-outs, no discussion or lessons to be learned about behavior, or apologies for harming others. Staff not very open to suggestion. Nice facility and playground.

The teachers at Creative Playhouse truly care for each and every child. They encourage creativity, independence and there's a balance of love and discipline.
Discipline, Health and Safety
Discipline
| OVERALL RATING (4.1) |
|
| 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
