> **WyKeima** | *22 September 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how responsive the Playground staff are
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing is that when a parent goes to compose a message they can see names of all enrolled students and staff
> 
> Wonderful experience from the start

-----

### "Very Happy with the Playground App" — 5.0/5

> **Rossy** | *19 November 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Child and parent management.  We love how everything we need to communicate with parents are in one place; massages, pictures, menus, payments etc.
> 
> **Cons**: As of now, we like everything and hope that pricing doesnt go up like other experience we have had with other platforms
> 
> Overall, our experience have been good.  And when we find something that should be looked at, you guys consider any improvements necessary.

### "Disappointed" — 2.0/5

> **Shiela** | *24 February 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Im reviews were priceless before this nightmare. I am not sure how to find your web page. But, I guess it doesn't matter. Because that I am requesting wouldn't take but five minutes of your time. to send me a copy of my w2.
> 
> **Cons**: trying to talk with a representative. no live response.
> 
> workless at this point.

### "Small Family Childcare Business" — 5.0/5

> **Brandy** | *24 November 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Playground has been an absolute game-changer for my in-home childcare program. It keeps everything organized, from daily notes and photos to billing and attendance, and it makes communication with families seamless. Parents love the updates and I love how easy it is to document learning, track routines, and stay on top of paperwork. The interface is clean, intuitive, and constantly improving. Their customer service is truly exceptional—quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and always willing to go above and beyond to support providers. Playground saves me time every single day and helps me run my program more professionally. I highly recommend it to any childcare provider looking for a reliable, user-friendly system\!
> 
> **Cons**: I really don't have anything bad to say about the software\! It would be nice, someday, to be able to upload longer videos for parents.

### "Noticeable Improvement Over Our Previous System" — 4.0/5

> **Latasha** | *13 October 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really appreciate the flexibility to customize certain categories to better fit our specific needs. The updated chat and messaging features for staff and parents are also a standout, they make communication much smoother and more efficient.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the features and reports we were told would be available before signing up are actually not accessible. For example, we aren’t able to customize the food program report with the specific categories we need. Staff messaging also lacks flexibility, there’s no simple way to message an entire class at once or easily select only their assigned students (per the staff, who feel that our previous platform hit the mark with this option). Additionally, there’s no option to require admin approval before staff send messages or responses to parents, which would be an important control for us. At this time these are our top cons.
> 
> Overall, so far, my experience with Playground has been okay. The system functions well and has met most of our needs so far. However, some of the features we were told would be available prior to setup and payment have not been accessible as expected. Because of that, I’d say we like the system at this point, but we’re not quite at the “love it” stage yet.
