His teachers have been nothing short of incredible. They all truly have a passion for what they do and are genuinely invested in every child in their classroom. The growth we've seen in not just academics, but also in social confidence, emotional development, and problem-solving skills, has been incredible. The wide range of activities he's able to participate in at school, like soccer shots, little gym, and zookeeper visits, among others, makes every day an exciting adventure for him, where he's genuinely excited to go to school. He's heading into kindergarten extremely well-prepared and is excited to continue learning. School operations are fantastic as well. The school does an excellent job of parent communication, has a safe and efficient drop-off/pick-up system, and great overall facilities.

Amazing owner (Shannon), all the Director's, and staff. Everyone truly cares about your little one.read more

This is one of the reasons we have chosen to stick with this daycare for as long as we have, she is so smart and well behaved thanks a lot to the wonderful teachers that work here, who also have education within childcare. They have an awesome curriculum that among the normal reading/writing/numbers etc. they also fine tunes motor skills. It's also very nice that they have 12 hour opening from 6:30 am to pm with no late/early fees. Just one set price. It's a little bit but talking with the staff there (which are wonderful) and as I mentioned seeing how far she has developed makes it well worth it. Highly recommend.

The former principal left a few years ago leading to total disarray at this school - teachers left, were fired, and we all suffered. Then we were sold on this new principal Danell - a trove of glorified qualifications. But her actions were the contrary. She enabled faulty policies, communicated poorly and hid very questionable practices from the parents. Sound familiar, Douglas County? She ran this place into the ground and enrollment suffered. AND THEN WHAT!? We just received a 6 month notice that it is closing, leaving families to scramble for wait lists elsewhere, many which exceed 6 months. I hope this joke of a woman's new employer finds out what happened here. I feel bad for all families impacted and to those great teachers there that hopefully will find continued employment elsewhere. Danell Chijioke is the epitome of what is wrong with the education system and the broader world today. Qualified for nothing but a few badges promote her to the top.

I thought it couldn't be difficult to find something similar...? We did a in person tour of Merryhill with my mom and I and it was very similar to Montessori so I was SOLD! Long story short, 3 weeks... 6 mistakes. They weren't just any ordinary mistakes they were mistakes that proved my daughter is just another number to them. The communication is a 0/10 and if you're gonna have a school, with my toddler who can't communicate then you should be on top of it! And then not only the obvious, I'm paying you good money... for what? My daughter is very sensitive to whole milk and her immune system shuts down so she drinks almond milk, they asked that I not bring almond milk I said no problem then she can have water at school and milk at home. They were giving her milk everyday even after I addressed them 4 times not to... one day she came home in someone else's diaper (she doesn't wear diapers, she wears pull ups) she's in the middle of potty training and not once did they potty train her at school. She then came home in her pull up but OH WAIT it gets better, someone else's diaper UNDER HER PULL-UP! I had tried to voice my concerns on multiple occasions and I was either ignored or looked at like a deer in headlights with no answers or solutions. I then notified them through the app it was her last day so please send her home with everything in her cubby and of course someone decided to call me FINALLY to have a conversation. Too little, too late. To say I was unhappy with my experience is a understatement. Never introduced me to my two year olds teachers, I'm not even a little sorry of my review. I know what a great preschool entails and this is not even close. I should of been pulled aside with my daughters teachers, discussed solutions, apologizing for all the mistakes in such a little time but NOPE I went to them every single time with no response back. P.S. When pick up is going on, hold the toddlers hand while walking them out! Thanks.

(So you never know really what your child is doing if you want to track progress or continue work at home.) Additionally, I will never forget the attitude of the kindergarten teacher, when I went to ask the front desk for the up to date information of daily curriculum. I'm sorry to say, but if that is the attitude you have towards an adult (treating engaging parents as enemies instead of team players) I can only imagine what my cheerful child had to endure while in your classes. The damage done by this teacher is irreparable, and I feel remorse that I didn't pay close attention to my child behavior sooner (some of the inconsistencies were brushed aside for awhile, just for the sake of giving this "school" a chance). Luckily we managed to move to a public school, where my child is thriving. If your child is cheerful and inquisitive, please save yourself and the child from being heart broken. Additionally, well rounded education and building knowledge does not mean that kids should not be cheerful or that education should not be fun and the exercises/acivities should not be diversified.

My wife and I brought our two daughters to Laura's after two back-to-back negative experiences in…read moreother in-home daycare; the later of which we left after an instance of physical abuse that left our oldest with bruises. Following the abuse, our oldest was extremely resistant to us needing to leave her at any daycare due to the trauma of her previous experiences. Ms. Laura was beyond patient and understanding and over the course of the several weeks helped my daughter heal and grow past her experience. I cannot begin to describe how grateful we are; Laura has been so compassionate and caring to our two girls, I cannot recommend her enough. We are moving our girls to a larger daycare to take advantage of Colorado's universal pre-k program, otherwise we would be staying with Laura for another year until Kindergarten started.

We had a number of…read morereally scary daycare experiences prior to finding Laura, and we could not have been luckier to find her!!! Laura provides kind, attentive, and affordable childcare in a safe, pleasant, and clean environment. I always knew my son was safe and happy in her care, and even though he was sad when I would leave, I always picked him up to see a huge smile on his face from getting to play and do learning activities all day. Never once did anything scary or concerning happen like I had experienced with other providers, and her in-home care gave my son (and me) the feeling of being cared for by a family member rather than dropping him off to a room of 20 kids with a constant turn over in staff. Another huge plus was that he was sick MUCH less often than in a larger daycare setting. Laura is fully licensed and follows all rules and guidelines to a T, and her care was also reimbursable through submitting receipts to my work's FSA (if you have an FSA option for healthcare). I can't recommend Laura highly enough! She is excellent and if she has a spot open for your little, you should take it!!

The owner, Prinal, is very present and cares a lot about the kiddos. They also care a great deal about finding good teachers and the curriculum is wonderful. My oldest learned SO much within a few weeks of starting in the 3-year-old room. I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Aiza. My kids both love her and she handles every question or concern promptly and with care. Also special shout-out to Ms. Leeba, Ms. Traci and Ms. Dawna. My kids have had a great experience with all of these teachers and KA is very fortunate to have them. The cameras are very nice to have peace of mind to be able to check in on your kiddo throughout the day. Their app system to record updates and take pictures is very user-friendly and the teachers do a really good job of updating it so I have always felt well-informed about how my kids' are doing. They also go above and beyond by having family activities throughout the year. It's a nice opportunity to spend more time at the center to get to know the teachers and other families more.
