We LOVE Playcrafter Kids!!!!! Our kids have participated in preschool and summer camps with Deanna and are absolutely obsessed! Deanna and her staff get to know each student individually and meet each student where they are at. We love the small class sizes and play-based learning environment. My oldest has some sensory and emotional regulation difficulties and Deanna was nothing but compassionate, understanding, and supportive in meeting his needs. He is succeeding in kindergarten right now because of Deanna and Playcrafter Kids!

I cannot say enough about our positive experience with Playcrafter Kids summer camps, birthday parties, and preschool. Deanna combines her knowledge of theatre, art, and education in a playful way that keeps kids engaged and learning. She focuses on emotional intelligence and self expression. Most importantly, she values every single child and respects them as individual growing humans.

5 stars all the way around. I am grateful beyond words for this program. My child has attended both the preschool and the summer camps and both are so engaging and interactive. My child absolutely adores every single one of the staff. Communication with parents is flawless. The activities the children participate in are thoughtful, engaging, fun, and most importantly to me, encourage learning while still encouraging play and childhood. My little gets sad when we wake up on Sat and don't have school.

We are so happy with Playcrafter Kids. It is wonderful to find the right preschool for your child! There’s a great positive energy from Deanna and the other teachers. Kids learn and grow from thoughtfully planned play-based activities in a welcoming new space. My child can be very bold and outgoing…but only if she feels supported by teachers who really understand how to interact with young kids. Day one, she loved it at Playcrafters!

My kiddo loved doing theater camp with Deanna and her team. I was so impressed with the quality and variety of activities the kids were taking part in each day, as well as the obvious care and love that Deanna puts into her classroom. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to come back next summer!

We have been part of so many Playcrafter Kids offerings: pandemic-era classes, birthday parties, preschool, summer camps, holiday parties…and we’ve enjoyed lots of performances!

Everything Ms. Deanna and Ms. Alex do is filled with joyful energy and enthusiasm. They truly believe that play is the work of children and that early childhood education should be child-led.

Children involved in Playcrafter Kids programming will experience theater games, dancing, singing, and creative expression. My kids have loved every Playcrafter ACTivity they’ve been a part of.

I highly recommend this woman-owned business! Your kids will have fun while gaining confidence and social-emotional skills.

Updating my review, as our kids just completed another Playcrafters Camp - they were crushed when it was over! Deanna and her team are so dedicated and really help our kids expand their capabilities and grow in a safe and loving space.

Our kids have participated in Playcrafter Kids for a few years now and we could not recommend it more highly! Deanna creates such a warm, inviting, joyful and enriching environment for kids of all ages. Of the many camps they have tried over the years, Playcrafters one of the few they get truly excited about. We consider ourselves so very lucky to have Deanna and the other wonderful teachers as mentors for our kiddos.

A lovely camp with amazing teachers! They have such a wonderful program and plenty of playtime. My shy daughter even spoke a few lines during the last performance and said it was one of her favorite parts - which is a big surprise for us as she usually avoids attention, she just had so much fun. It's a warm environment where she felt comfortable enough to stand up in front of everyone and dance and sing! We'll be signing up for more for sure.
