THERE IS NOT A WHOLE LOT OF CHILD SUPERVISION AT THE MAGNIFICO PLAYHOUSE. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE PHYSICALLY AT WORK DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE WATCHING YOUR CHILDREN. I KNOW I WAS AN EMPLOYEE AND SAW IT MYSELF. THE SAME LADIES THAT WORK THERE TODAY ARE THE SAME WHO WERE THERE WHEN IT FIRST OPENED. THEY DONT ENJOY THEIR JOB AND TALK NEGATIVELY OF CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS. NONE OF THE TEACHERS HAVE HAD ANY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION EXPERIENCE. THE CENTER CHARGES PARENTS OVER $200 A WEEK PER CHILD TUITION ALL WHILE HAVING GOVERNMENT AID, DONATIONS AND FEEDING CHILDREN .29 CENT BOX OF MACARONI FROM ALDI. LORI (THE OWNER) FORCES PARENTS TO SIGN A CONTRACT SPECIFYING THE TUITION RULES. IF TUITION IS NOT PAID OR YOU REQUEST TO TRANSFER YOUR CHILD TO ANOTHER DAYCARE, SHE THREATENS TO SUE YOU AND TAKE PARENTS TO COURT. MANY TEACHERS HAVE WITNESSED FIRST HAND THE PHYSICAL ABUSE LORI AND DONNA HAVE HAD ON CHILDREN. WHILE MANY REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DCFS, NO CHANGES TO STAFF HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED. THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!

Magnifico playhouse was one center that had a true sence of family. The children don't want to go home. Meals are home cooked everyday. They new owners are continuing on with the same concept.
The previous owner as well as the present owner are very concerned about the children and parent needs.
They even have a night once a month for the parents to have a date night. How nice of them.
The center is clean and inviting and on a residential street so the children are safe from the traffic on a main street.
I have been there for 13 years and never seen or heard of that so called person that wrote a bad review. Must be a personal issue outside of the center.... All I can say is "this is a unique and great place". Everyone that needs services for their child should check it out.
