Pros / Cons
  • It keeps everything organized, from daily notes and photos to billing and attendance, and it makes communication with families seamless.
  • I needed to set up a new business and center quickly, and if Playground hadn't been available I'd still be arguing about high prices and struggling with onboarding with the competition.

  • This platform has enabled our preschool to move from (1) "paper and pencil" registration/enrollment/organization/communication, etc., (2) parent to teacher to director to bank payment processing and staff communication to practically a totally online, but personal experience with our students and my staff- just for starters.
  • This caused confusion for both our staff and families, requiring extra time to track down receipts, verify transactions, and manually adjust balances. Although customer support has been helpful, the issue has occurred multiple times, which can be frustrating for parents who believe they’ve paid on time.
