However, one staff person is why their review is lowered in my mind, and I have to do right by parents by adding my two cents. I'm not going to write out any details because you can see them on Colorado Shines. Parents: before you choose a daycare, look at Colorado Shines, get to know ALL teachers, and TRUST YOUR GUT about anyone who gives off red flags. I now feel like this is a good center and can certainly vouch for my son's other wonderful teachers. But this bad apple should have been fired LONG before things got so bad.

My wife and I have been sending our daughter to Smart Bear Learning for just shy of one year now,…read moreso I think at this point we can leave a fair and honest review. My wife and I both work full time, so consequently our daughter had to start attending when she was first eligible, almost right at the 3 month mark. We were both uneasy about this early transition, my wife especially. She was extremely emotional the first day, which of course is normal. We both agree that the next day and each day following was much easier to drop her off, and this was directly related to the staff at Smart Bear. Ms. Sarah and Ms. Amanda really did bond quickly with our daughter and it was apparent how much they do care for all of the kids in their classroom. The two of them are absolutely top notch and we are so thankful to have found them. Our daughter has since graduated from the infant room, and again we were uneasy with the early transition. And again, Ms. Sarah jumped in to make sure we didn't feel that way for more than a day. She is constantly checking on our daughter in her new classroom, commonly holding her when we arrive to pick her up and giving us updates. As a result, our daughter has adjusted well and quickly to the change. She has started walking more, using sign language more, and talking more; since she gets to hang out and compete with the older kids. Everything thus far with Smart Bear has really been an excellent experience. This is coming from someone who can be fairly critical of businesses, as you can confirm by digging through some of my other Yelp reviews. If our impression ever changes then this review will be updated, so, if you are reading this now then you can trust it for what it is.

Top notch care & teaching from their teachers, curriculum, food (it always smells so good!), they have such fun events for the kids & even the entire family! We get to see what our kiddos are up to & learning through the Tadpoles app incl. photos. The teachers & team are always open to discussing any challenges or issues with an open & creative mind. Both of our daughters are so smiley & happy at SBLC, which gives me peace of mind & confidence they are genuinely being cared for. Personally, I love the mommy community at SBLC too! We were so appreciative that they stayed open through 2020, with the upmost care for cleanliness & health. I could go on & on about SBLC, Colleen, Laura & the entire SBLC Team are just wonderful & we're so happy our girls attend this amazing daycare/school!

Our kiddo is excited to go each morning and comes home happy, confident, and always smiling which we didn't have at our previous center. The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully set up for learning and play. Our kid has allergies and they are on top of it all and ensure he is safe at every possible minute he is there. The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and we love how much emphasis they place on social skills, creativity, and emotional development--not just babysitting, but real growth. Communication with parents is excellent. We always feel informed, reassured, and included, which makes such a difference as a parent. It gives us total peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable, loving hands. Choosing a daycare was hard and Primrose was one of the best decisions we've made for our family. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do and would recommend this daycare without hesitation to anyone looking for a nurturing, high-quality place for their child.

If you're in search of a great school for your young kids, Littleton Knowledge Beginnings is a…read moregreat option, and we highly recommend you consider it! Our 4- and 2-year-old have been enrolled here for several years and have had a wonderful experience. All the teachers across the classrooms we've interacted with are incredibly caring, dedicated to the kids, and support making each day an enriching and fun experience. Our kids are excited to go to school and have made lasting friendships with the other kids and their teachers within each classroom, and we're very impressed by what they are learning and experiencing. The Director of the Center, Patricia, is phenomenal. Her passion and dedication to the Center, Staff & Children is above and beyond what we've experienced at other Schools, and regardless of the number of priorities she balances is always makes time to connect with parents and students alike. We've also appreciated how communicative Patricia, and the teachers have been across classrooms.

The teachers in the infant room are incredibly attentive, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child. They take the time to learn every baby's individual needs, routines, and personality, which has made such a difference for our daughter. We always feel reassured knowing she is in a safe, loving, and engaging environment. Communication has been excellent--whether it's updates throughout the day, feeding and nap details, or just sharing sweet moments. It means so much to know how she's doing while we're apart. We've also noticed great developmental progress since our daughter started. It's clear the team is intentional about supporting growth through age-appropriate activities, interaction, and care. We are so grateful to have found a daycare that treats our daughter like family. I would highly recommend this program to any parent looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their child.

Update: Leadership at Primrose referenced "confidentiality requirements" and "steps already taken,"…read morein their public response to my review (seen below). In the interest of transparency, current and prospective parents should know that those steps included having their attorney at Goodspeed and Merrill send my family a cease‑and‑desist letter threatening a defamation lawsuit in conjunction with a fabricated CPS report if I did not immediately remove my review. The CPS allegations they threatened to file were created by flipping our concerns about the school back onto us; even if those allegations had been true, they still would not constitute child abuse. I'll be attaching the threatening document they sent so families can understand exactly what is going on. My review is based entirely on my firsthand experience. Any parent who wants to understand the situation more fully is welcome to reach out. Original Post: I'm writing this as a parent who keeps receipts- emails, timelines, photos, everything. And based on that documentation, I want other families to know what we experienced here. Our son came home with a bad bruise on his back, yet we heard nothing from the school. When brought to their attention, the school said they documented, but they repeatedly refused to give us the incident report. This wasn't an isolated issue. When our son caught a virus the school had emailed about a week earlier, the owner later denied the presence of the virus -- despite us having the original message. We also discovered missed diaper changes in our son's log that led to a severe diaper rash. From my perspective, this daycare is more focused on protecting its image than being honest with parents or providing consistent care. Please do your homework before enrolling -- ask for policies in writing and trust your instincts.

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.

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! :)

Kathy cares deeply about each of her charges, and hires other caregivers who likewise seem to have infinite reserves of energy, patience, and good humor. The kids spend a lot of time playing, being outdoors, going for walks, making bread, gardening, singing, painting, etc (and participating in the awesome birthday parties each one gets). The staff truly pays attention to each child, gets to know their quirks, and provides a fun and stimulating environment for them. My son was at the University location for a year and a half, and recently moved to the new Glencoe location. Both sites are great, and enrollment is limited, so your child won't get lost in the shuffle like he/she might at a large daycare center or preschool. Choosing the right daycare is such an important decision -- definitely consider Sunflower in your search!
