3 Best Preschools in Providence, RI

I honestly recommend this place to all my friends and family. I am so happy with the progress my daughter has made here at The Children’s Workshop in Providence. The teachers are all welcoming and friendly and it genuinely feels like a family. They treat my daughter as if she is one of their own. I enjoy getting pictures and reports of what my daughter has done throughout the day and week, what new things she has learned and what projects they have done. If your looking for a safe and wonderful place for your child to learn and grow I recommend them. This will be my daughters last year here and I know we’ll be sad to leave them.

Caring staff and great hours for working parents. They use an app where I can see pictures all day and quick effective communication for anything important. In addition, compared to any other daycare I’ve had any of my children in- they’re the most low fuss…. Bring necessities and they do the rest. It’s been a relief having my daughter here.

I was extremely picky when choosing a daycare for my daughter, but I truly trust these teachers with my life. My daughter talks about Miss Jasmine even at home and gets so excited to see her everyday. I know my baby is so loved and safe with her teachers and she has learned so much.

Our family has had a fabulous experience at Child's Play. The teachers are very welcoming, attentive, and experienced. They do an exceptional job at creating a warm classroom environment and getting to know each child personally. We appreciate the play-based curriculum, and the morning structure provides a good balance of freedom within play and also routine. Our child is always excited to go to preschool and we have noticed considerable growth in them during our time here. I have really enjoyed volunteering in the classroom, and see the value in observing first-hand what our child is learning, participating in their experience, and building relationships with the teachers and other children. The community is also very welcoming and there are several events throughout the year to connect with other families. We highly recommend Child's Play and have been very grateful for its impact on our family.

Our child is in her second year at Child’s Play and has been thriving here. She is always so excited to go to school and adores her teachers, classmates, and the curriculum—I’m always happy to hear about the new things she’s learned. Being part of her classroom through our Duty Days is an exciting way to understand her experience at the school. The cooperative structure means that our family has to put in more time than we would at a traditional preschool, but the result is worth it. Being part of the Child's Play community and having insight into how the school runs is very cool.

Child’s Play is the best! The teachers are incredible and have been at Child’s Play for years. There is enough structure to provide consistency and routine while allowing kids to explore their interests through a play-based curriculum. The culture is amazing, in part because families are involved and invested so you really get to know the other kids and their families. I was worried that it would be too much for two parents working full-time but the time commitment has been totally reasonable, and the days you are in the classroom are really fun. As an added bonus, it’s also the most affordable option we found. 10/10, would recommend.
