    Bright Horizons Montessori at Interlocken

    We recently enrolled our toddler into the Bright Horizons Montessori at Interlocken and are super…read morehappy with everything about the care: the facility is bright and clean; the staff is friendly and helpful; and the teachers are caring. They are super communicative via the Bright Day app, email and in person. If I could change a couple things, I wish they were open just 30 minutes longer in the evening. And I would love if they provided meals (no Bright Horizons seem to do this, but other similar care centers do). Will update this post should anything change along the way, as we're just a couple of weeks in.

    I had a terrible experience, and was promised a refund by the Director Kathleen Winters after she…read moretold me to find other care. As for specifics, this center is the most disorganized and rude place of business I have ever encountered. I was so excited to have my son start there and tried to be proactive every step of the way. They didn't send me a bill until June 4th to pay, even though I was told that all payments are due on the 1st and he may lose his spot if not paid on time. Despite me stopping by and personally trying to make a payment on the 1st, no one was able to help me and the director did not call me back after I left a message. When I went to drop off my 2 year old son on June 4th for the first time, neither the front desk, nor the teacher in the classroom knew of him nor expected him. The teacher told me to "just leave him", despite not knowing anything about him, his medical history, allergies, or even introducing herself for that matter. I filled out and submitted everything but the shot records/physical (which I had with me at drop off), so how is it possible that the teachers are not even aware of a new child starting? I let the teacher know of my son's reflux issues, including instructions not to provide juice or similar acidic foods, and to please pass the information onto the afternoon teachers. I informed them that I've filled out a list of foods NOT to give him. Later in the afternoon, they fed my son apple sauce, which was specifically on the list that I provided and no one bothered to read. That day they took my son with no shot records, not signed in, and I wasn't even given a code for pick up. I left another message for the director to please call me. As you can guess, I did not receive a call. Instead, I received a message AT WORK, from another parent. The director had given out my personal and employment information for other parents to contact me. Then she emailed me the code for the door without calling to check on my concerns. When I went by to pick up my son in the afternoon, I again asked her if she could spare a minute to talk. She walked past me and said "I don't have time, if you want to talk to me in the afternoon you need to schedule an appointment". The following morning I finally got to talk to the director, who was extremely rude and unsympathetic. Apparently 20 other children started recently, so that's why the teachers had no information on my son. She works 11 hour days, so she's just too busy to address parent's concerns. And after I complained about her giving out my personal and employment information, she simply stood up, told me she's issuing a refund and to find other care. I have found other care, and would be perfectly happy to never deal with Kathleen again. However, the promised refund is nowhere to be found.

    I cannot in good faith recommend this school to any child or family. My child went to this school…read morefor about 1.5 years, starting at about 2.5. I have PTSD from the judgement my child received, lack of support, poor communication, and overall unprofessionalism of leadership. The teachers were very kind, but unfortunately, not fully equipped to support a variety of children's needs. My child has thrived since leaving this school and had zero issues with classmates and teachers. I believe if you're child is quite docile and loves to work alone that this could be a fine enough option for you, but if that's not the case, I'd encourage you to look elsewhere. And my best advice is just to talk to a handful of parents at the school. It can seem really nice on the surface, but the best way to know what it's really like is to talk to the community of parents that currently have children enrolled. Many felt the same way, but as you know, it's hard to find good childcare so it was the lesser of the evils for a lot of families. I fully expect the school to try to retaliate this review (as defense was often the communication I was met with for any concerns), but I hope that some of the professionalism has come back to the school and they will just receive the feedback and learn from it.

    My children have attended Autana for the last two years and we have had a great experience! It's…read moreimportant to remember when dealing with toddlers they will always be unpredictable. But the one thing that you can count on at Autana is them addressing and mediating any issues that may be happening. The women are sweet and nurturing. They teach structure and peace and love our kids. I love that they eat healthy snacks and do community activities with the families of the school so we can all get to know each other. If you are looking for women who really invest in their job this is the school for you.

Anyways I am giving Victory at Montessori 5 stars because it is the first daycare center where my son wants to go even on the weekends. This is our 4th center, the other places were not active enough and my son was getting into trouble. Victory at Montessori has multiple big rooms for the kids to be active in when the temperature is not good to be outside. Every week they do a bike day, water day and a sports day. My son does have a speech impediment which we are working on. Almost no one outside of the family understands him; however, Miss Jasmine at Victory at Montessori can understand most of what he says and I feel that has gone a long way making him feel comfortable, safe and happy here. I am so thankful for Victory at Montessori.

It is reasonably priced and offers lunch and snacks daily. It is such a lifesaver to not have to pack meals each day. Victory's teachers are great and they are great at listening to the input from the parents. In addition to the daycare aspect, kids can stay at Victory through Kindergarten. We love the balance between the kids learning traditional skills like sounds, alphabet and numbers, but they Also learn manners, values and valuable life skills. There are also opportunities to add on art and computer classes for an additional fee.

Head of School Lauren F, Assistant Head of School Jeff, and the entire teaching team are exceptional--caring, professional, and deeply committed to the Montessori philosophy. My son is in his fourth year at MSIMS and my daughter in her second, and both absolutely thrive here. It is also the only fully accredited AMI Montessori school in Colorado, offering a level of quality education you won't find anywhere else. I cannot recommend this school enough.

    My daughter attended the school in 2020-2022 and our experience was far from positive. When we…read moretoured and applied in 2020, the school sounded fantastic. Unfortunately between the time we applied and the time we started, the seemingly wonderful head of school left and the board selected someone with no educational experience to replace them. A year later the other, fantastic, member of the original 2-person admin team left. My daughter started in YCC at 18mo. Several times my daughter came home with injuries (head injuries, bite marks) and no incident report or communication from the school. In 2022 we moved into one of the primary classrooms. My daughter initially had an ok experience in primary. But again we found out about several incidents from her that should have warranted an incident report, but never did. This culminated in her telling us that one child had hit and shoved her 3-4 times inn the course of a week. We of course brought this up and the teacher kept trying to tell us this was "normal behavior". We disagreed, and attempted to raise this with the head of school, who ignored us for weeks. In this time we had interactions with several other parents, where upon telling them of the issue we'd get responses like "oh, was it [kid]? My kiddo was getting hit by them too." One other parent told us their kid shook with anxiety about going to school and had to be kept home for a month as a result of bullying by this same kid. It became clear that the kid in question had bullied almost every other kid in the classroom, and the school had done nothing about it. Finally, we got a meeting with the head of school. He started by gaslighting us, telling us we were "complainers" and that he felt "nothing he could do would ever make us happy" - as if enforcing the school's own policies on bullying were too much to ask. We quickly ended the meeting after agreeing that the school would refund us the tuition we had paid for the two-month summer session we wouldn't be attending. The school refused to issue a refund until after the summer session, and then sent us ~$200. Half-day tuition at the school is ~$2,000/month. The refund is laughable and, in my opinion, an intentional fraud. In summary our experience was of an incompetent administration, classrooms that could not provide a safe learning environment for our child, a sudden termination of services and a wholly inadequate refund from a disingenuous head of school.
