We have been at Kiddie Academy of Lone Tree for almost a year now and love it! From the infant room…read moreto the toddler room, our son has been cared for by each teacher he's had. All of the teachers and staff know our son (and us!) by name, which makes us feel even more comfortable with trusting KA with our son. We highly recommend!

We have had a great experience at Kiddie Academy Lone Tree. This is the 3rd childcare center we…read morehave used since my oldest was a baby and by far the best. 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.

My wife and I agonized over where to send our children for pre-school, and couldn't have been…read morehappier with the result! We have had 3 kids go through Goddard, and will be sorry to see it go when our last is finished. We toured pre-schools in Denver, Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch before making our decision. Any of the Goddard Schools would have been sufficient but we were moving from Denver to South Denver and decided it was best to have the kids close. We based our decision on three factors: cleanliness of the building, educational curriculum, and attentiveness/quality of the staff. Most of the schools we visited felt more like daycares than preschool - classes were organized around play rather than balanced play/learning. Goddard was the only school that offered any sort of appreciable curriculum, and you could visibly see the transition from play to education as you moved up in classrooms. We now have three kids that can count in English, Spanish, Chinese and Vietnamese! The building is a newer building that always seems clean, and when there was a leak, the affected room was sealed off and professionally cleaned/restored by a reputable restoration company the day after the leak because the staff was concerned for the health of the kids. Some of the staff we have known for our entire time at the school, and they are personable, approachable, and fantastic with the kids. If we have had issues with any of the teachers the problem is usually addressed quickly. Couldn't recommend this place enough. It's a fantastic school.

They're so on top of everything and great communicators. We're also blessed to have Ms. Becky as our daughter's lead teacher, she is beyond thoughtful and compassionate and all of her students clearly love her, including our daughter. Our daughter is excited every day to go to school at Goddard and you can see how much fun she has with her endless smiling in her photos. You can see the variety of creative learning projects her class is constantly doing and we can see the quick progress our daughter is making; new words, learning body parts, songs, sign language, etc. Thanks for letting us rest easy knowing our girl is in great hands each week! :)

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.

We took a leap of faith and toured Imagine and quickly after enrolled. Hands down THE best decision we've made as parents. To have found a place that exceeds in all avenues is quite honestly rare. Their staff is exceptional, no turnover, everyone knows every kiddo regardless of them being their home room teacher. They create such fun and well thought out activities for the kids. My kiddos have flourished since enrolling and I'm always raving about Imagine to new moms I meet who were also like me and skeptical on daycare. Anyway LOVE Imagine and I'm beyond grateful for them and their support to my sweet lovies!

From the moment I arrived, I could feel the care, structure, and positive energy throughout the entire academy. The staff was attentive, nurturing, and fully engaged with the children -- it was beautiful to see. During storytime, the children impressed me with their focus, discipline, and excitement to participate. They listened so carefully and interacted with so much joy. We even created a fun little song together on the spot, and they jumped right in with bright smiles and enthusiasm. IKid Academy deserves a big congratulations for cultivating such a loving, organized, and enriching environment. The children played well together, shared naturally, and showed so much kindness toward one another. I left feeling inspired and truly impressed by everything I witnessed.

If you care about your child's well-being, do not send them here. The owners of this daycare are…read moremanipulative, controlling, and completely unfit to care for children. They use their authority to intimidate staff and parents alike, showing little to no genuine concern for the kids' well-being. Instead of fostering a safe and nurturing environment, they rule with fear, making irrational and selfish decisions that put children at risk. The level of unprofessionalism is astounding--ranging from blatant favoritism to emotionally abusive behavior. They refuse to take responsibility for mistakes and will gaslight parents into believing concerns are "misunderstandings" rather than addressing real issues. Their incompetence is only matched by their arrogance, as they dismiss feedback and retaliate against anyone who questions them. If you're looking for a safe, supportive place for your child to learn and grow, look elsewhere. This daycare is a toxic environment run by people who should not be in a position of power over children.

This is a terrible daycare. My daughter attended for almost the entire year of 2022. During that…read moretime, she had 10 lead teachers and countless assistant teachers. Oftentimes we'd arrive to drop her off and it'd be a new face on a daily basis. No one ever introduced themselves to us, and my daughter had no consistency, making her feel less comfortable being dropped off. My daughter needs help with drop off and during the entire time we were there, only a couple of the teachers would help - most of them stood back and let you try to get your child to interact with the other children. When she started getting older, they moved her to another classroom, but when they had staffing issues, they just moved my daughter from room to room without any communication with us. We'd arrive in the morning and never knew which room we were supposed to take her to. They'd then move her in the middle of the day multiple times, leaving us unable to see her on their camera system, and not knowing where to pick her up. We had several instances of arriving to pick her up and she'd have a poopy diaper, causing rashes. There were a few times the poop had been there so long that she was bleeding from the rash it had caused. The final straw for us was when we potty trained our daughter, it felt like we were working against the daycare. The first day after training, they took her out of the room with a toilet, moved her to the younger room, and put her back in a diaper. Every weekend we had to nearly re-train her because they weren't listening to her when she said she needed to go potty and they weren't giving her enough reminders. She'd come home having had at least 1 accident daily. She also went from LOVING going to the potty to it being a battle to get her to go. After just 3 days at home, she no longer has any accidents, indicating that they definitely weren't doing their part. In the 11 months we were with this daycare, there were 3 directors. The newest director Ashley really seems like she's trying to turn the place around, and I had faith in her for a long time. I just think this daycare is too far gone at this point. It just needs to be shut down.

All of the staff is friendly and they made our transition here extremely easy. I would recommend this pre-k program to every and anybody!

The staff communicates well and always makes us feel welcomed and supported. Choosing Merryhill was one of the best decisions we've made as parents.
