What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Hands down the best daycare facility in the Lubbock area! As an ex employee all I can say is this place is outstanding from the owners down to the teachers, my son enjoyed every minute that we were there and learned so much, he still ask about his teacher Ms. Desiree and we moved about a year ago.We miss it. Wonderful people and an even greater atmosphere for children to learn, they truly do treat you like family!
I have no idea why the average reviews are not higher for My Little Playhouse. There is nothing lacking about this place. If the central Lubbock location is convenient to your commute, there is no alternative for a loving, caring, family run daycare. With two twin sisters as the matriarchs, a daughter as the director, and her brother in admin, there's no competition. I enjoyed taking our child here and picking him up, knowing that he was loved every day as much as we love him.
Whoever is driving the bus needs to do better. Saw them on their way to pick up kids from Hodges Elementary and they were hitting their brakes hard, multiple times with little to no space in between them and the car in front and then went over the curb turning the corner. Hopefully the bus was empty because my goodness— imagine with children in it?!
Since our kids have been going there for the 2 years Miss Lou and Miss Amori and Miss Angelia and Miss Katie. They are amazing. They take such good care of the kids. Our Romeo vocabulary has expanded so much. Both of our kids have grown in social skills. My little Playhouse is the best place for your kids in Brownfield.
This has been by far the best place I have ever taken my daughter to for child care. I had some average experiences and some poor experiences in the past with providers(as many parents do) and the process of finding a fit is exhausting. My Little Playhouse Learning Center has been a relief for us. My daughter loves it there, the staff is great, teachers are great and they care about what they do! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They are clean, professional(but very fun and friendly) and they actually teach these kids.
Web Report
Aggregated insights from public records & parent discussions
Safety Record
In January 2019, a viral video showed an employee at this location yanking a three-year-old child by her hair; the incident led to the immediate termination of two employees and investigations by the Lubbock Police Department and Texas Childcare Licensing. At the time of the incident, the center had 19 recorded state violations since 2016 involving safety, nutrition, and staff training. Allegations also surfaced during the investigation that one involved staff member had previously been fired for kicking a child but was subsequently rehired.
Parent Reputation
The facility's reputation is polarized, with a 2/5 rating on Daycares.co based on 41 reviews, many of which stem from the 2019 physical abuse incident. However, more recent reviews from 2024 and 2025 on platforms like Care.com and Indeed are highly positive, with parents and employees describing the environment as 'warm' and 'like family.' The center is currently a Three-Star Certified Texas Rising Star provider.
Staff Insights
Employee reviews are limited but generally positive in recent years, with one 2025 review highlighting a supportive management team that treats staff like family. Historical staff issues include a 2016 report of understaffing and the high-profile firing of two employees in 2019 for child mistreatment and failure to intervene. Management has since emphasized that all current teachers undergo thorough background checks.
