However, one staff person is why their review is lowered in my mind, and I have to do right by parents by adding my two cents. I'm not going to write out any details because you can see them on Colorado Shines. Parents: before you choose a daycare, look at Colorado Shines, get to know ALL teachers, and TRUST YOUR GUT about anyone who gives off red flags. I now feel like this is a good center and can certainly vouch for my son's other wonderful teachers. But this bad apple should have been fired LONG before things got so bad.

My son currently goes to Orchard Valley. We recently moved to Colorado from Seattle, where my son…read morewent to an in-home day care center. So finding a nice day care center was important for us. We are so impressed with Orchard Valley. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Each of the classrooms have bright colors and lots of toys. Communication is great, as they send a weekly email and even daily updates on how your child did. The one and only reason this isn't a five star review is there seems to be staffing issues. I know this isn't the teachers' fault, but from time to time they struggle to have enough teachers in each classroom and can sometimes combine classes if a teacher is sick or has a day off. Otherwise, I would highly recommend Orchard Valley Learning Center.

I do not recommend enrolling your children at Orchard Valley. The director is irresponsable,…read moreunorganized, and unwilling to make an effort to correct her mistakes. While, ideally the school director would be competent enough to resolve any issues on her own, that is unfortunately not the case here. In addition, corporate office is set up for employees and has no contacts for parents of the students. I was beyond disappointed and both of my children were miserable. In response... That was actually not the case at all. I was told on Friday morning by Janie that there was "definitely availability" for both of my children. I explained our special circumstances and that we needed Orchard Valley specifically because of one of their employees. I was told that I would be able to start my children the next week and there was no mention of a deposit. When I called Monday morning, I was told that there were no spaces, it was my fault, and I was hung up on. So yes, my review is accurate, and proven more so by the fact that no one involved has taken any responsibility or offered any solution, yet they have found the time to try to defend themselves on a public forum. If there are any specific accusations that you "Jason" would like to deny I would be happy to address them... Bottom line... I've never even been in direct contact with this facility, or in contact at all with their parent company, and as you can see they are not at all interested in helping their parents or students.

He is actually a much happier guy on days that he spends socializing with other babies and the teachers are always so attentive to him and are very communicative with me when I come pick him up. I cannot imagine sending him anywhere else!!

My wife and I have been sending our daughter to Smart Bear Learning for just shy of one year now,…read moreso I think at this point we can leave a fair and honest review. My wife and I both work full time, so consequently our daughter had to start attending when she was first eligible, almost right at the 3 month mark. We were both uneasy about this early transition, my wife especially. She was extremely emotional the first day, which of course is normal. We both agree that the next day and each day following was much easier to drop her off, and this was directly related to the staff at Smart Bear. Ms. Sarah and Ms. Amanda really did bond quickly with our daughter and it was apparent how much they do care for all of the kids in their classroom. The two of them are absolutely top notch and we are so thankful to have found them. Our daughter has since graduated from the infant room, and again we were uneasy with the early transition. And again, Ms. Sarah jumped in to make sure we didn't feel that way for more than a day. She is constantly checking on our daughter in her new classroom, commonly holding her when we arrive to pick her up and giving us updates. As a result, our daughter has adjusted well and quickly to the change. She has started walking more, using sign language more, and talking more; since she gets to hang out and compete with the older kids. Everything thus far with Smart Bear has really been an excellent experience. This is coming from someone who can be fairly critical of businesses, as you can confirm by digging through some of my other Yelp reviews. If our impression ever changes then this review will be updated, so, if you are reading this now then you can trust it for what it is.

Top notch care & teaching from their teachers, curriculum, food (it always smells so good!), they have such fun events for the kids & even the entire family! We get to see what our kiddos are up to & learning through the Tadpoles app incl. photos. The teachers & team are always open to discussing any challenges or issues with an open & creative mind. Both of our daughters are so smiley & happy at SBLC, which gives me peace of mind & confidence they are genuinely being cared for. Personally, I love the mommy community at SBLC too! We were so appreciative that they stayed open through 2020, with the upmost care for cleanliness & health. I could go on & on about SBLC, Colleen, Laura & the entire SBLC Team are just wonderful & we're so happy our girls attend this amazing daycare/school!

Do not send your children to the Sewall inside of strive prep ruby hill!! The whole site went…read moredownhill since they got a new director. My daughter been going to this site since she was 2 &1/2. She graduates this year. They have staff there who aren't properly trained and or have no experience. They have been on probation for their childcare license since November of 2018. My daughter almost died in their care. Yesterday on April 8th 2019, I arrive to get my daughter during nap time , and I see white stuff by her mouth. I assumed it was food. As I'm pulling, it's getting stuck and I sit her up immediately only to pull a wad of tissue out her mouth. (Will post a pic) when I arrived both Jillian and Dalena were on their cell phones. (This is a licensing violation) I asked why there was tissue paper in her mouth while she was sleeping. Not either of them could answer my question as to how it got into her mouth and why it was there or how they didn't catch it was in there. Maybe they didn't catch it because their faces were stuck to their phones. I showed Jillian the tissue she kept saying "I'll get rid of that, hand it to me" I refused to hand it to her. She was eager to get it and dispose of it. Furious to not getting answers I grabbed my daughter and left. When I got home I immediately called the manager Heidi, she was unavailable so I left a message regarding my concerns. She did not call me back. I spoke to some girl named Mary, she contacted me back. Told me she'd contact Jillian and get back to me, which she did. But she was no help, very unprofessional and ignorant to the whole situation. She did not care that my daughter could've choked and died. She told me in her exact words "Jillian didn't know how it got there and was on her phone doing some work related things" I asked "how can we prevent something like this happening from the future to ensure my daughters safety?" She said "we're going to continue doing what we're doing, we not doing anything wrong" I was so appalled and humiliated for her. She obviously doesn't have training. I said "excuse me?" She said "this is just where we're at right now" "if you don't feel like your daughter is safe why send her here" I was in so much shock and disbelief that she said that. I responded "you think this is just going to be swept under the rug like it's no big deal? My daughter could've choked and died in her sleep" she said "it's just where we're at right now" I responded "if I have to take my daughter out for a safety concern that could easily be fixed I'm gonna go above and beyond to make sure you're facility gets closed down" "I will NOT allow you guys to treat me like I'm wrong for wanting a plan in place when it come to my daughter safety" I have requested a meeting with Heidi in person, let's see if she gets back to me. I would NEVER want any parent to go through what I went through and be treated the way I have!! I will NOT STOP UNTIL I GET ANSWERS AND CLOSURE. They need to be held accountable for their staffs action. Oh and the sad part, the director was in the class and still couldn't provide answers. They need to retrain their staff or throw them all away and start over. No innocent child should be in a position where they are not cared for, watched properly or safe. Will keep you guys updated once I meet with Heidi and let you know if I get this situation handled properly. I refuse to pull my daughter out. She deserves to be part of graduation like anyone else!! It's not her fault the staff isn't trained properly and have their faces stuck to their phones!! Stay tune for update.

I decided he needed a smaller school so went to CLC and soooo wish I had made this decision years ago. My two kids are so loved here, they bounce out of the house to go to school, my son's behavior was changed for the better in almost a month, my daughter is thriving.
