(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is the best preschool & kindergarten in the area! The teachers love your children and the children love this place. Children are allowed to choose what interests them instead of being told what they should do. The activities offered are all hands-on and the children learn so much more than in a worksheet-based kindergarten program. And the community feel from this school is fabulous; we, as parents, have made strong friendships with other families. We are SO glad to have found this unique and wonderful experience for our daughters!!

- By far THE best pre-school in the area. Playschool has an incredible staff who provide an amazing environment for my child to learn through his play. The classrooms are filled with everything a child could want or need to nurture their young minds. Imaginations run wild in so many ways, and the best part is that we as parents get to be a part of it all. A wonderful community of parents, teachers, alumni, and most importantly children!

- In Charlestown Playhouse (â€�"Playschoolâ€) I have found exceptional people to teach, play with, and love my son. What makes a great preschool, really? You can have all the best materials and latest play and teaching tools, and teachers with multiple degrees each, but in the end it’s about how the director, teachers, and support staff use their talents and love for children to create the safe nurturing environment needed for any learning. Playschool has that nailed. They get young children – they understand where they are coming from and how to help them solve problems. Kids leave Playschool learning how to negotiate tricky social situations that I’d bet the contents of my wallet most adults haven’t yet mastered (including this mom!). And all that messy stuff you feel badly about not doing for your own kids at home to encourage their creativity? The answer is Playschool! We are in our third year and I look forward to sending my youngest child through each class, too.

- Charlestown Playhouse is by far the best preschool and kindergarten in the area. Their play-based learning environment is fantastic - it's diverse, thorough and provides each child with a learning environment specific to their needs. I am very grateful for the experience my 3 children have had at this school.

- Playschool, as this school is lovingly referred to, is dedicated to educating children in a play-based, developmentally appropriate environment. It has been nothing but a fabulous experience for me and my 3 children! It is unmatched in qualified teachers and small teacher-student ratios.
