Where Fun • Care • Learning Come Together
Our Story
Every great adventure starts with a dream, and ours began in 2012 with Froggy's Party Pad. It was a place where children could laugh, celebrate, and create unforgettable memories. Watching families come together and seeing the joy on children's faces made me realize I wanted to be a part of something even bigger.
That dream grew into Froggy's Play School in 2013.
I wanted to create more than just a daycare—I wanted to create a place that felt like home. A place where children are greeted with smiles each morning, where parents feel like family, and where learning happens naturally through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences.
As Froggy's Play School continued to grow, so did my passion for early childhood education. I decided to further my education and became a Certified Child Care Director, giving me the knowledge and leadership to build the kind of program I had always envisioned—one that puts children first and provides the highest quality care and education.
Today, Froggy's Play School proudly serves families at our Haverhill and Methuen locations. While we've grown over the years, our heart has never changed. Every child who walks through our doors is welcomed with love, encouraged to explore, and supported as they build confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of learning.
At Froggy's Play School, we're not just caring for children—we're helping shape their future, one smile, one lesson, and one unforgettable childhood memory at a time.
Welcome to the Froggy's family. 💚

Learning Through Exploration, Creativity & Play
At Froggy's Play School, we proudly use the Experience Early Learning® Curriculum, a research-based, comprehensive curriculum that inspires children to explore, discover, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Designed for every stage of early childhood, the curriculum provides engaging, hands-on experiences that encourage children to learn through play, curiosity, and meaningful interactions. Every activity is thoughtfully planned to support the whole child while making learning exciting and fun.

🤝 Social-Emotional Development
💪 Physical Development & Motor Skills
🌎 Social Studies & Community Awareness
We believe children learn best when they are actively engaged. That's why our classrooms are filled with hands-on activities, creative exploration, outdoor play, music, movement, and opportunities for children to ask questions, solve problems, and build confidence every day.
At Froggy's Play School, our Experience Early Learning® Curriculum is brought to life by caring educators who personalize each child's learning journey, celebrate their unique strengths, and help prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond.
Learning Today. Growing for Tomorrow.
Fun • Care • Learning 💚
A Strong Start Today.
A Brighter
Tomorrow.
The early years shape how children communicate, solve problems, build confidence and enter school ready to learn. At Froggy’s Play School, purposeful play turns everyday moments into meaningful learning.
A Strong Beginning Helps Children Enter School Ready to Grow
Massachusetts early-learning guidance supports curriculum that develops the whole child and connects preschool experiences with kindergarten expectations. Quality early care is about more than learning letters and numbers—it helps children practice communication, self-regulation, problem-solving and learning alongside others.
Language & Literacy
Stories, conversation and play help children build vocabulary and early reading skills.
Early Math Thinking
Sorting, counting, patterns and hands-on discovery make early math meaningful.
Confidence & Independence
Daily routines give children chances to make choices, try again and feel capable.
Social-Emotional Skills
Children learn to communicate, cooperate, manage feelings and participate in a group.
Play Is Serious Learning in Disguise
Children learn best when they can move, explore, ask questions, create and connect with caring adults and friends. Through play, children practice the exact skills they will use in kindergarten and beyond.
Massachusetts Preschool Research Shows a Stronger Start
An independent evaluation of the Massachusetts Preschool Expansion Grant found that children who participated made positive and statistically significant gains across three important areas of early learning.
The strongest benefits were found among children with greater needs, including children from homes where English was not the primary language and children without previous child care experience.
