My girls LOVE LOVE LOVE Oakridge KinderCare! We have been a KC family for almost 2 years, and…read morecouldn't be happier. There have been ups & downs in management but Shanell is *amazing* and works so hard to keep parents informed and up to date about what's happening. She's recently implemented a 'fun calendar' for themed days (favorite color day, Halloween in June, pajama day, etc). They had "Muffins for Moms" the Monday after Mother's Day & "Hot Dogs & Popcorn for Dads" the day after Father's Day. When it comes to administrative tasks, the current team is also on it! I've had some issues with the new billing system/automatic payments but Shanell has been super responsive and helpful during the process. The rest of the office team/management/support staff is also amazing! My kids get dropped off around 7a by Daddy & Mommy does the pickup around 630p (I know, we aren't winning #ParentsOfTheYear). Every team member I've talked to has been so friendly, and both my girls seem to love every single 'teacher'.. My 2 year old even says "Mr. Ben is my best friend" (sometimes it's Leah, or Kim, or Darius, or Kat, etc but usually Ben). As far as the center itself goes, it is ALWAYS clean and organized. The classrooms are decorated age-appropriate and there is always artwork/projects/etc on display. My 2 year old is learning about insects & spiders so there are different bugs and spiders hanging from the classroom ceiling, they are reading themed books and exploring outside. Kindercare, as a whole, sends out a monthly email about "What We're Learning This Month" which explains that month's theme and how each age group/classroom is exploring that theme. It also gives some examples of what you, as a parent, can discuss with your child to continue the education/theme at home. Kindercare also offers LA's (Learning Adventures) like cooking, phonics, music, etc. My two year participated in the music class for several months and came home so excited to tell me about her day. With the music class, we also received a workbook and musical instrument every month. My daughter loved her 'homework' and she regularly plays with the musical instruments (train whistle, sand blocks, music sticks, etc). Each class is for a specific age range, and starts at $15/week depending on the class. In regards to pricing, KC is comparable with similar Fort Collins daycare centers. I recently started a new job, and this location is no longer the most convenient but my girls adore the staff and I've had such a tremendous experience with Shanell as the new director, I will be commuting a little further to keep my family at Oakridge Kindercare.

We have never had any issues with any of the staff members for the 3 years we have had my granddaughter there. Lisa, has to be the best director, too! I know they struggled finding a good one, to the point we almost switched just for that reason. So glad we didn't! Lisa is approachable, and willing to do what she can to help out with any situation. Her assistants are just as wonderful! Thanks so much for taking care of our little girl!

Our child was just kicked out of preschool last Friday with ZERO notice. I went into TLE Fort…read moreCollins to discuss a behavior plan after a rough day of not napping and acting out. I asked them if they were bringing any solutions to the table, to which they said they would just watch and record their behavior. I gave them an entire list of things that work at home. Such as, addressing them with a calm tone, redirecting, giving them jobs, etc. They responded with "we can't do those because it doesn't fit our way we do things". I left with nothing accomplished and got an email 5 minutes later saying they were terminating care for my child, immediately. I'm so frustrated and sad that they didn't even want to try with them and it feels like they're saying they are more trouble than they're worth. I'm devastated that they didn't get to say goodbye to any teachers or friends and are now being completely uprooted, which might make behaviors worse. What do I tell my child when they ask why we can't go back? I still don't understand why on earth the school decide to terminate IMMEDIATELY on a Friday evening when schools are closed on the weekend. I feel like that is the ultimate show of disrespect to us. No wonder they have been on probation by the state. My child loved 3 of their teachers like family and I'm so crushed right now. They've been asking why they can't come back to see their friends and it is absolutely gut wrenching. I gave them many solutions and they ultimately told me they couldn't do their job properly. So, if your child has sensory issues and needs a little extra love, I would not recommend TLE. I just wish they would have just given them another shot and tried some of our solutions.

This is truly the greatest school! I feel so grateful that we found this magical place where…read morechildren get to experience fully all the beauty of childhood and can thrive with the kindest teachers and sweet students around them. Our daughter looks forward to going to school every day, and comes home talking about the snacks she ate, the friends she played with, and sings songs. It is the perfect entrance into school and I love that my daughter has such a positive association with school at such a young age. She is appreciated and valued as her fullest self, and I couldn't recommend Seedlings more!

We started with Seedlings this past fall and our lives (not just our 2 year old, but my husband and…read moremy life as well!) have truly changed in the most wonderful ways since joining this rare, beautiful, generous community. Becca has created a place where childhood dreams really do come true. Our very reserved two year old has bloomed into herself: she comes home singing the songs that Miss Becca sings, pointing out birds, talking about her friends and using her imagination to go camping and on trips and on the boat and in the bus! It melts my heart as her mom. What has been EXTRA for all of us has been getting to know the other families and Becca and Saul's sweet family in the community that they build. We've been to fall harvest festivals, a lantern walk, holiday parties, birthday parties and gained the most wonderful, wholesome, like-minded families as part of our main community now. Our only wish is for more of what Seedlings offers! It's truly the best.

We learned about The Learning Experience (TLE) while it was still under construction. Since…read moreenrolling my infant and toddler this year the owner and manager have always been available to answer any questions. Compared to our previous daycare the care providers regularly post to the App with status updates and photos. The frequency of photos can sometimes be distracting at work, but always enjoy when they are posted. Also the modern safe guards (cameras, keycard access, digital/physical sign in sheets) at the facility are reassuring. In the time my infant has been at TLE she has almost switched over to solid food and started walking. Every day when I drop off/pick up my daughter she looks extremely happy and conflicted if she wants to stay with the teachers or come home. All the teachers in the infant class are great communicators and respect any requests I have. My toddler is very vocal about his experience at TLE, and can't stop telling me about all the cool stuff he does. At his old daycare my son would be clingy and a little resistant to me leaving, but at TLE he can't wait to enter the playrooms. Every night when driving home, he tells me about the animal mascots, the toys he played with, what he ate, and the usual indistinguishable toddler babble. I can't really think of a single negative about enrolling my children at TLE. The opening of this facility is something that northern Loveland desperately needed. I am glad I was able to enroll my child, but based on my experience I have no doubt they will fill up fast.

Their dedication to learning, arts and crafts, and instilling good values is absolutely incredible. My son is constantly coming home with art work that incorporates the "letter of the week" or the theme they are learning in school. Randomly around the house, I'll hear him singing a song about the days of the week or months of the year. To me, this is evidence that his teachers lean into the fact that kids can and want to learn at such a young age. Thank you X 1000 to the wonderful staff at the Children's Workshop!
