What Parents Say

"

At Einstein's Playground, I have felt from the beginning the compassion and concern for my child. As a parent, that makes me feel so good to know I have left my child with people who are genuinely concerned for her safety and well-being as I am. Anytime I have come to the facility, announced or unannounced, the staff is always welcoming, respectful and ready to answer any questions I may have. I love every staff person at Einstein's Playground because I believe they love my child.
