I can't say enough good things about this school. My daughter has been there almost a year and…read moreloves it. She asks to go in the morning, doesn't want to leave at night and is thriving. The owner and director know all of the kids by name and are so approachable! The teachers are warm and caring and the kids do all sorts of special activities. As an added bonus, my lo has a unique food allergy condition and they keep her safe and happy. They were well educated on the topic and had protocols in place to manage it. It's been a great experience working with them.

The program for both young and kindergarten kids is fun and challenging. My kids are extremely happy about going to school and always have so much to talk about when I pick them up. The teachers are all certified and they are all professional. It is easy to communicate with them as well. The owner and director are superb and treat every kid as their own. The other thing I love is that the older kids have "friday friends" with the younger children. My daughter knows pretty much every kid in the school through this activity, and she loves being a role model to the younger kids. What a fantastic life lesson for her! I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a daycare you can really trust and feel at home with, you can not find a better place in the area.

His infant room care givers visit him in the toddler room and talk about his progress whenever they see me. Elsa and Georgie work so hard to ensure everyone is supported throughout the day and will do anything to help. They greet everyone by name when they are coming or going and make all feel welcome. My son loves Elsa and jumps to give her a hug any chance he can. There are awesome indoor and outdoor spaces that are extremely clean and enriching for the kids and great additional family events for everyone.

My kiddos started kindercare about a year ago and it's been a great experience. The bond my kids…read morehave grown with the teachers and directors at this daycare is amazing. I love the fact that the center has a curriculum and the kids learn so much and always come home to tell me about the fun activities they did for the day. Usually in daycares if the kids are having any behavioral issues it's the "parent problem" but here the teachers and I have become a team to help my kids grow and how to handle their emotions. The teachers here have become like family to us!

It was such a warm, inviting, FUN, environment for my child's first school experience. We stayed for two years and I was beyond bummed when we had to move because my younger one missed out. The school has all sorts of fun extras - a Mother's Tea, a school carnival, lots of fun stuff for the kiddos and the tuition cannot be beat. It is hands down the best preschool in the Fort in my opinion. And for those nonreligious parents - like my husband - while the school does teach about Jesus and celebrates Christian holidays - it does so in a way that emphasizes the positive character traits and not in any way in an exclusionary way that keep many people away from some schools of faith. My husband loved the school as well. I can't say enough good things about the staff, the director, and of course the teachers. Thanks for the fantastic start, Harmony!!!

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.

My granddaughter attends here, and she is always very excited the morning when she heads to school…read more My daughter loves this place and says great things about the teacher and the program. Her teaching philosophy is to teach children while they play. A teaching strategy that I heartily believe in. We have to teach our kids in a natural environment, in which they learn to believe in themselves and have a better understanding of whom they are.
