The Big Play House is such a gem!!! We sent our baby girl here and felt so welcome and comfortable leaving her there everyday with such incredible teachers and owners. The team is so nurturing, responsive and I could tell they enjoyed being with the kids which is the most important thing! The daycare is clean, there are so many toys and the outdoor area is perfect for the kids. The communicate is excellent, the providers are thoughtful and I really felt that everyone went the extra mile for the kids. Highly recommend!

My son really enjoys going to The Big Playhouse everyday. The teachers are really caring and patient with every child. They prepare different activities for the students everyday so they will enjoy everyday without getting bored. They have cooking classes, fieldtrips to nearby parks, pajama parties and a lot more. I feel always at ease leaving my child here everyday because I know that he will be in good hands.

We are so happy our son's first daycare experience away from home was with the Big Playhouse ! He started being in their care at the Richmond location when he was around a year and a half. The teachers were so kind and engaging which made his transition to attending daycare daily really easy. We were pleased to see a huge improvement in his social skills, language and independence as his time at the Big Playhouse went on. Receiving daily updates about his naps, food and activities put our hearts at ease and we got to see how much fun he was having ! As he approached the 3 year old mark we got to transfer to the Main and 44th location and we are are really pleased with the variety of activities planned for the kids each week from cooking classes, trips to the park and even exciting off-campus trips. The teachers at both locations were always patient, kind and eager to spend time with our son which reflected in the way he was always talking about them at home. The owners, Sehrish and Waqas, are so responsive to our needs, kind and considerate. We appreciate their dedication to ensure a clean, safe, educational and fun atmosphere for our child.

We had our child in their infant and 3-5 programs, the care and education we received under their supervision has been very impressive. I recommend the Big Playhouse to anyone looking for childcare, our experience with this team has been professional, caring and courteous from beginning to end.

We LOVE the daycare and all the caring teachers. They do everything in their power to accommodate the children's needs and it looks like they genuinely like spending time with the infants. Communication is great and we have multiple photos every day depicting our daughter being busy with craft, outdoor and play times. She is definitely enjoying her time there. We could not be happier and we recommend The Big Playhouse to every parent.
