My sons attend Penny's Playground and have for the last three years. The only reason that we are leaving is because my children are school-age and we live in a different town. Its hard to find a place to care for the things that means the most to you - your children. The teachers are always cleaning and my kids come home with a TON of work that they have created. The teachers are caring and have individual relationships with the kids. Penny is strict, with both the kids and staff, but it provides structure and creates expectations. As a teacher, I want the people who are teaching my kids to have high expectations! My kids love Ms. Penny, Ms. S, and Mr. S - I wouldn't trust just anyone with my precious cargo.

This is indeed the worse place you could ever send your child! This is a place that you shouldn't send your pet! This place is terrible from the top down. Yes, the owner, for the most part, makes sure that she has all of bases covered when it comes to state regulations, but they do not know how to treat children. The owners are cold-hearted and uncaring, and they force their employees to behave in the same matter. Everyone that is employed there is afraid of the owner(including her own mother). because she's an evil woman who is like a timebomb that could go off at any moment. she yells at the children and staff. all are intimidated by her. if you aren't, you stand up to her, and she gets rid of you. she knows how to put on a good front around parents most of the time

My son was at this place and I would not recommend it to anyone. He was injured several times with no explanations. He was labeled and called a BAD Boy. The director was never happy. Teachers were told not to even hug the children!

Penny's Playground principal commitment, philosophy & policy is to protect the children within our care. This center is an advocate for the child'a best interwst. We believe ir'a vital to offfer as many experiences as possible to develop a child in every aspect of their young lives. At Penny's Playgound we'll provide children with a superior quality & developmental program not only teaches academic skills but also works on their ability to work with other or alone, develop their creativity, manners & self-esteem in a fun energetic atmosphere. This center has a very strong family belief. We pride ourselves on our open door policy & assistance to parents in the development of each child. This healthy environment will encourage not only a child's growth, but also the families & teachers' as one unified unit.

How I handled it varied depending on the circumstances. Teacher bullying is child abuse proove it 1st! If teacher/pricipal/staff won't stop-go above their heads-Seek help from PTO's,administration,schoolboard,media,even CPS-Child Protective Services
