Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in their care for my 2 year old. He would be brought to me with a poopy diaper, dried snot on his face, extremely hungry and thirsty. They were documenting that he was eating 100% of his meals and snacks but he came home famished. They then admitted that they just mark in the computer that all the kids are 100% of their meals. They were going through 35 diapers a week and he was only there 35 hours a week. I started sending 4 diapers a day, then suddenly the same 4 diapers would come home in his bag each day. One time he came home with diapers that were not our brand. The turnover was unacceptable. They were on their 4th director in 1.5 years. The teachers came and went weekly. I never even met my son's teachers. If you wanted to talk to the teacher, you had to make an appointment and then they'd see if they could get classroom coverage for a 5 minute meeting. There was absolutely no communication with the teachers. Any communication was 3rd party through the director. When we started there we were on the 4th page of the sign in log. 3 months later, when we left we were on the 1st page. A lot of families came and went. Owner was not available as he said he would be.

We can't say enough good things about Sidewalk's End Montessori School. Our 4yr old son has been…read morehere for 1 yr year. The family culture of the school is very warm and positive. The parents are very involved with the school and the outdoor environment, is great and green . His teachers (Mrs. Gloria and Mrs. Lyeen) are wonderful. They are dedicated, passionate and intelligent. We know our son is getting individualized attention and they are allowing him to grow at his own pace (i.e., not just at the common denominator of the class). They are cultivating and developing the whole child. We are simply amazed at how much he is learning and advancing. All while becoming a compassionate and polite individual. We always feel supported as a family. They have been great throughout the enrollment process.They are always planning activities and the children are never bored. It's an efficient and well run school. We are enrolling our 3 yr old son given how much his older brother enjoys the school.

They were all well prepared for kindergarten and made the school transition easily. My kids loved their teachers and would talk about all the neat facts, silly songs, yoga poses and fun lessons from their school day. We did the option for Soccer Shots program as well. As a parent, I appreciate the early drop off (630am!) and late pickup at 6pm. The teachers assist with specific transitions such as introducing food (directed by parents/packed lunches/snacks), potty training (kids will help each other line up), and phasing out nap time for kindergarten. We weathered through COVID - the staff and owners were clear with limits and expectations. As a healthcare worker - the school remained open and an option throughout the whole time. There is some teacher turnover, but there are also staff/teachers who have been there for years (and taught all my kids - Ms Cheryl!) . I never had any issues about staff interactions with the children. Ms Anand (owner) is available on site and also responded via email quickly. She knew all the kids names and was always pleasant.

PARENTS BEWARE:…read more Feeding our baby breast milk from a stranger's mother was the final straw. But this was preceded by an instance of walking in on one of the caretakers shaking a crib a little too vigorously for comfort (all the while saying "GO TO SLEEP, GO TO SLEEP...."), and two months later my wife saw an open notebook where the teachers communicate during shift change where she read "fu*#! This MotherF@#$ing place see you all in hell tomorrow..." Given that the well-being of our children are in these people's care while we're off working each day, I'd expect that kind of behavior would result in an immediate firing. But despite our reports, not an apparent slap on the wrist resulted. Our infant was diagnosed with repeat cases of RSV (3 times) and ear infections several times. We feel this has a lot to to with a somewhat apathetic enforcement of their rules for sending sick children home and a generally unsanitary environment overall. This was all a shame, because there were some teachers that we really liked, but we just couldn't wait for another incident. The new daycare that we found was a bit more of a drive, but it's like night and day: When you walk into Young Scholars Academy, it's immediately like day/night from Little Sprouts. Everything is clean, it smells nice, each classroom has a structured curriculum posted with lessons in history, science, etc.. And mostly you can just tell that the vast amount of money you pay goes back onto making the daycare a much better place. At Little Sprouts, it's become very apparent that the money you pay goes into the bank account of a single person who exists behind the curtains. They don't even fill their hand sanitizers, bathrooms have been found to be missing either soap or paper towels (my personal pet peeve). 2 stars out of sympathy mostly, for the few good teachers that have to endure working at this place.

The main pull for us was the organic meals and environmentally friendly approach that Little Sprouts implements. They also have a really nice outdoor play area and animals for the kids!!! The head staff, Sara and Tesa, are amazing individuals. Very caring and always there for you & your kids needs. Another neat thing is that they accept cloth diapers, which very few places will do. They've done a great job with getting my 10 month old into a sleep/nap schedule! This made this momma very happy. Also, the place is wonderfully clean. Everything gets deep cleaned each evening. I'm slightly OCD with cleanliness and I have no problem sitting on the floor and playing with my little one.

We appreciate Rocky Mountain Classical Academy Preschool because they view their program as a…read moreschool, rather than a daycare or merely babysitting. We have noticed a learning growth in our child. At home, our son will start randomly singing or telling us about what he's learned from school. It has helped him to do things by himself. The teachers care about each child having a great day. They accept each student at their level and teach them according to their speed, which is critically important to provide a positive first experience with school. The teachers also are great about communicating and working with us. They send pictures of our kids learning and enjoying themselves. Our other children attend the elementary school, and so we enrolled our son into their new preschool with confidence, knowing that they would produce a facility with high standards and excellence. The school has met our expectations and we will continue to have our son attend their facility. Thank you Rocky Mountain Preschool!
