Our daughter spent a year in the one year old room and flourished. The teachers are truly gifted and made her feel instantly at home. Every day that she went to school, she was excited to learn and see Miss Cindy. She loved the experience and we loved knowing that she was in great hands. If you can secure a spot with them, you will not be disappointed.

We started our daughter at GHM when she was about 2.5 years old. We've been at the school for about…read more6 months now and have had an absolutely amazing experience. 1) we love the staff -- both the administrators and the teachers. Ms. Kayla has been particularly amazing. She has been with our daughter in the explorer classroom since we started and has been a true partner to us in our child's development. If we ever are having a challenge at home, we know we can bring it to the teachers at GHM and they'll help reinforce our parenting efforts in the classroom as well. The administrative team is hands on (yay for Jesse, Alyscia, and Jessica!) and so welcoming and kind. I regularly see them in classroom and getting g involved with the kids and as teacher support. Love to see it. 2) GHM strives to foster community amongst parents and families at the school. There are dad's nights, mom's nights, family barbecues and more! I have had the chance to get to know most of the parents of the kids in my daughter's classroom, which is awesome. 3) Parent teacher conferences are regularly scheduled and the staff comes prepared with detailed notes on your child's development and milestones. You can really have a collaborative discussion about your child and their needs! It felt really lovely to hear their perspective because they were so detailed and thoughtful in their assessment. 4) Look, all schools are dealing with staffing shortages, but we have had far less of an issue with this at GHM than we did at our last school. Our daughters teachers have been very consistent and in the event of staff turnover, Jesse, Alyscia and Jessica will do everything in their power to keep the school open - we've never had a school closure due to short staffing -- at our last school this was a regular occurrence. 5) We love that the school takes care of breakfast, lunch and snacks for the kids! Balanced meals, and such a relief to not have to do this at home every night. Helps free up the time we have at home with our daughter for play and connection! End of the day, this is the best possible school for our family. Highly recommend to other parents. Feel so lucky that we found it.

Beware. I have complained to the owner, Jesse about the care…read moreof my son till I'm blue in the face. The neglect of my son not being given water or having sun block put on him by the director of the center while she was in preschool filling in for the lack of consistent teachers and chaos in preschool as is.. Coming home with his underwear having serious skid marks from the teachers not caring for his proper hygene, to his paints and underwear being backwards and shoes on the wrong feet. When I tried to tell the teacher she raised her voice to talk over me and interrupt me to tell me " Well he did that" before I was able to voice my other concerns, veing please wipe his butt better next time and clothes on properly. I thought teachers are supposed to teach the kids how to do things the right way and stand for GHM own "Morals and standards" what a joke. He hires woman is mini shirts and people who have no experience becaude he is desperate for the fill in. No wonder with the way he treats and represents people internally. It looks sparkly on the outside until you get your child in and your family in then you realize it is nothing but terrible communication, an owner out for money and a director who doesnt support her teachers or get out of her chair. Then I got a phone call, not the decency of a face to face conversation by the owner Jesse being told I screamed in the classroom, an over reaction, he nor his teachers cared to listen to my concerns. This is just one exampke of many. There is a new teacher there every week and they don't last for for then a couple weeks if that. I have called state and jeffco for child neglect a few weeks ago and will do so again. The countless teachers that come through this center is unreal. Eight teachers I counted in April and the list goes on. Your child will not have consistent teachers or care. Preschool is out of control as I have had a sub teacher tell me how the director thinks that yelling and screaming gets 3 years to listen and they feel inadiquite and uncomfortable there because they feel it a lost cause. If you want true care for your child and genuine "Vetran Buisness owners" who care about the true well being, BEWARE. Take your money elsewhere as you will be highly disappointed. This is definitely not a diamond in the rough. Ashes to ashes. P.S. Jesse from a Marine to a Marine, we have corps values. Honor, Courage and Commitment. Where is your honor. I sure don't see it. The only thing you honor a dollor sign.. Your commitment... Your sure not committed to the children and how they are being taking care. Courage, where is your integrity? A cowered that tells me one thing face to face and says something different over the phone.

Kids just walk right out of their classroom door onto a secure playground made just for them. I have a one year old and two year old registered in the program and they are thriving. Their teachers are incredible and truly love them. Each of their teachers have been at AELC for 20 years which is something you don't see at every childcare center. As a working mom, I really appreciate that my kids have breakfast, lunch and snacks provided throughout the day. Would recommend the AELC to anyone! It is one of the best childcare centers in Denver!

Being a professor in teacher preparation for 20 years and having my own kids, I have been so impressed by the skills the PK (and also formerly K) students have before entering K-5 public schools. The PK students are far ahead of their counterparts at other schools with reading, literacy, social emotional skills and motor skills. They also partner with MSU which keeps teachers and pre service teachers always reflecting on and employing best practices and have so many opportunities for campus events.

When he opened his own pre/after school care, it was no brainer for us to sign up both boys with Small Characters. The school has been very successful and extremely popular. There is a very nice atmosphere, enjoyment, and yet Andrew and his staff keep their authority with the kids. Also, they have just opened another location for a preschool. Highly recommend the place for anyone!
