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 are so grateful to CO Nanny and Jane for helping us find the perfect nanny for our family. From…read morethe very beginning, Jane took the time to understand our needs, values, and what kind of person would truly be a beautiful fit, not just for our daughter, but for our whole household dynamic. But what really sets Jane and the whole agency apart is how supportive they've been after the placement. They've helped us think through how to create a sustainable, long-term working relationship with our nanny, everything from pay structure to benefits to professional development. Their guidance has been invaluable in making sure we're not only hiring someone wonderful, but also supporting her in a way that makes her want to stay. We couldn't be happier and can't recommend CO Nanny highly enough. I echo all of the reviews speaking to the deep sense of caring and professionalism.

This is a wonderful daycare with kind teachers and staff. Our son is enrolled in the infant class…read moreand he has learned soooo much! (Ms. Kisty is AMAZING!) They serve a variety of meals/snacks throughout the day, sing songs, read books, teach movements like clapping, waving, nodding, etc. and even have an infant-only play area outside so your child still gets fresh air throughout the week. Having our son here has made me not question working full-time, because I know he is having a blast and getting to learn more than he could at home by also being able to develop socially with all his friends. I am sooooo thankful I found this treasure of a daycare. It's also a super convenient location being within a 2-minute walk from our pediatrician (and others if you choose). I will be sad to leave it, but know it will just open space for more families that need quality care for their child. BONUS: They also offer date nights once a month from 6-11pm where you only pay $20 for your child to be cared for and fed. Definitely a better deal than trying to find a babysitter!

As first time parents we were very nervous about how he/we would adjust, but the teachers & admins happily answered all of our questions & special requests in order to make us feel as comfortable as possible. It did not take long to see how extremely lucky we are to have Mrs. Maria taking care of our boy. I honestly can not say enough good things about her! She took so much time & genuine care to help our son adjust to the new environment. She goes above & beyond every day to communicate through the app and sends the best pictures throughout the day. It is clear that our son absolutely adores her and we do too!

Over the years we've noticed that the set up continually grows, changes and evolves, so to keep it very interesting for the little ones! Amy runs a great program for the children and we can only say positive things about this child care establishment. As a parent, understanding the mixed emotions that come with providing care for our children, our babies(!), it is a tremendous relief knowing your kids are in capable hands.

Our family has been at Primrose DTC for four years. We have been so happy with the staff and…read moreownership at the school and we have no doubt that our child will be ready for kindergarten because of the time spent there. Compared to other daycares / schools we have experienced and seen, this facility stands out not only in the education we have experienced, but the personal touch and communication from ownership and administration. Rick (owner) and Ashley (Director) will continuously update parents of school happenings, illnesses, etc. Primrose also uses a Tadpoles app that lists the daily lesson plan, and provides details of activities the class is doing. My favorite is getting photos/videos added by the teachers throughout the day. Another nugget that always impresses me is families are greeted by name at the front desk, whether it's Rick, Ashley, or any of the front desk staff. How they can remember each child and parent's name is beyond me, but is a great touch.  We also have also noticed low teacher turnover of primary classroom teachers - we have seen so many familiar faces throughout our four years! When there is any movement that affects our child's classroom, we are notified via email very timely (again - great communication). The building and exterior are always clean and attended. You will also find Rick outside putting down ice melt, shoveling and even assisting to clear windshields in snow storms. The building is also secured well, which gives us added peace of mind. There are also many extra activities available that can be fit into the daily schedule to help give the children exposure - soccer, Tots (basketball) and dance are a few. During the summer, the school also provides "Splash days" for the kids to cool off once a week.  The only wish that we have is that the school would be expanded to include a kindergarten class.

I have referred friends and family members to them. The teachers also love my son. I originally chose Great Escape because they seemed to be the only place taking a September birthday at age one (part time). I am grateful for their care and flexibility.

My child no longer wanted to go there each morning, and a new administrator (that had just started working there a very short time ago) made it clear that she had no interest in getting to know or work with families, or in figuring out how to help children feel comfortable and succeed in their environment (or maybe she didn't have the skills or tools to actually know how to do this, but either way it was unacceptable). Administrative turnover is common (3 times in under 2 years).

The director was better but now the place is not well run.) We've noticed that they are very efficient at billing you every week, and they make sure to charge you when you decide to leave the center. Make sure you inform them ahead of time, even though they bill you on a weekly basis. My child is now very happy in another school where we pay less. She loves her teacher, and she's eager to go to the new school next day right after we pull her out of New Horizon. So, please consider finding another care center!
