Hyde Park Play School

I worked here last summer 2023 and thought I could see myself attending again this summer of 2024. I tried scheduling an interview in advance no response so I emailed again to make sure the email was received. I was given an option to attend an interview at 4pm on Wednesday 27th of March. I showed up 15 minutes early in case of paperwork again. The amount of un safety this building has blows my mind. The doors were wide open anyone could have walked right in. I sat down and waited until 4:10pm not a single person was there to greet, let know when they will be with me, nothing. So I called to try to contact someone. No answer. A lady opened a window and told me they will try to find someone but at that point I just cannot be in a facility that cannot follow up on basic needs. Clearly this place has gone downhill since I worked there last summer. No thank you.

How to even begin? The staff, curriculum and overall experience at HPPS is one that could not be replicated. We could not have foreseen so much of what we experienced in our 4 years here and now that my little one is moving on to Kindergarten I think we'll have pangs for what was even as we look brightly into the future. The friendships we collectively developed are more than worth their weight many times over, and I strongly recommend if you're not signed up, you take this as a sign to do so. We were ecstatic the day we got the call, that we had a spot and the nearly daily ritual of pulling up into the semi-circle for drop off and its mirror image on the way home resulted in a myriad of interesting conversations around what happened at school that day. There were always compelling topics, songs, and learning that proved beyond any doubt, that they were indeed making lots of progress. This may have all culminated at the graduation this year where I definitely "had something in my eye" as they processed out to Pomp & Circumstance with their little mortar boards, names read aloud and collected their "certificates of completion". They sang to the crowd about all they had learned and I for one was overcome with emotion. This was followed up by turning their room into an "Airport" followed by "visits" to new countries each week. It has stoked the travel bug in my little one who now wants to visit the Eiffel Tower. All that to say that to a person, every staff member is caring and kind and will do their best to get your child ready for the next stage of life, of that I have no doubt. All I can offer you are our experiences, but I for one have no hesitation whatsoever about recommending HPPS to ANY family.

Both our kids went to HPPS and had an excellent experience. They were more than prepared for Kindergarten and made lots of lifelong friends.

We sent 3 children here for years and loved how HPPS took care of our kids like they would their own. The mgmt is committed to providing a great experience and the families are a great community!
