Our story

A Phoenix childcare home since 1995.

We started with a simple belief: every child deserves a safe, warm, and joyful place to grow. Thirty years later, that belief still guides every single day.

Built on neighborhood trust, one family at a time.

Cheryl opened Childrens Playhouse with a vision: a place where Phoenix families could trust their children would be genuinely cared for, not just supervised.

That vision hasn't changed in three decades. We still greet every child by name, keep our groups small, and stay in close conversation with every family we serve.

The values behind every day.

01

Every child belongs

Every child and family is welcomed exactly as they are — no exceptions.

02

Play is how kids learn

Curiosity leads; real learning follows naturally through hands-on play.

03

At their own pace

We meet children where they are and grow alongside them, never rushing.

04

Active bodies every day

Outdoor play, movement, and physical activity are part of every day.

05

Partnership with parents

We're an extension of home, in regular conversation with every family.

06

Safe, always

Licensed, inspected, and CPR-trained so you can breathe easy all day.
