Our Playhouse Preschool

In the state of NC, unlicensed programs are limited to 4 hours of continuous care. This school is not licensed but the administration knowingly chose to ILLEGALLY offer an after-care program as well as an extended Pre-K/Kindergarten class, both of which exceeded that 4 ...hour limit. Parents were not informed of any of this until the school was 'caught' by the state and forced to eliminate the after-care and cut the Kindergarten class back to 4 hours. Obviously, this has disrupted many families - parents have had to scramble to find alternate care and make other arrangements. Apologies have been scant and no compensation has been offered. I would not recommend this school. Read More

Both my boys have attended OPH. The focus is on healthy age appropriate play and discovery. The instructors are loving and nurturing. This is the preschool for your kid if you want creativity, independence, sharing, and hands on play. My son comes home muddy and beaming!!! Communication is frequent and professional. We love the pictures they frequently post.

that's what my title was supposed to say!

I'm so sorry the initial reviewer didn't have a good experience here. We had a rough year 08-09 at 2 other preschools so I know how hard it is. So I was particularly careful about our choice for this school year, and I am relieved and grateful to be able to say how ...much my son LOVES school. The teachers & directorship have responded actively to any concern I have had, they are accepting and kind, thoughtful & creative. The space is wonderful. He wants to go to kindergarten there, so I'm having to sell him on going to our public school. We travel half an hour to go there and it's been worth it for us. Read More

My child has been at OPP since they opened in the new location, and we've been thrilled with the staff, the space, the owners, and the other families. The teachers are highly trained, loving, professional educators who are empathetic, kind, funny, and incredibly patien...t. I feel so lucky (and my child is so lucky!) to have so many wonderful people at his school that love him and are helping to teach him to love/be kind to others. We considered Montessori and Friends schools as well, but are so happy we chose OPP. Read More

We have enjoyed Our Playhouse. The facility is very child centered rich with many activities to appeal to many interests. I have greatly appreciated the nurturing staff. They let children be children and really individualize the experience based on each child's needs.... The school encourages family involvement which is something I value as a parent. I also love the holistic approach they take with the curriculum. Read More
