    A Warning for Parents of Neurodivergent or ESL Children…read more My experience here was traumatic. If I could give zero stars, I would. We attended before my son's autism diagnosis, and he was treated with a shocking lack of empathy. The owner actually called me to claim my son had a 'medical tic'--which was actually just a self-soothing raspberry-blowing behavior he only did when he was extremely stressed by their environment. I witnessed systemic neglect: children who spoke English as a second language were left to sit alone without interaction, and toddlers were left to sob inconsolably after drop-off with no comfort from staff. I actually had to step in and hug a crying child myself because the teachers wouldn't. Most concerning was the lack of respect for parental boundaries and age-appropriate care. When my 3-year-old was nervous about potty training, I requested he wear a pull-up for one day to build his confidence. Instead, the staff spent 30 minutes of his school day forcing him back into underwear against my explicit instructions. Unless your child is neurotypical and requires no emotional support, stay away. This is not a safe or inclusive environment.

    My daughter and son both attended Wildflower Preschool. They both had wonderful teachers. My son…read morerequires a little extra attention and the teachers always accommodate him with ample patience and love. I feel so lucky! I love the balance of outdoor time, art, music, social emotional learning, and gentle exploration of academic learning. To top it off, there is a great community of kind families each year!

    After having had the pleasure of teaching in some of the finest preschools for 30 years, I can only…read morebegin to sing the praises of The BellaVita School. Nurturing, kind, loving staff with excellent ideas for their children to take off and blossom. Their staff loves what they do, they love the children, and they certainly teach respecting our earth and one another. If I lived in Colorado, I'd be clamoring for a position there. Luckily I can visit from time to time and know my precious grandson enjoys his weekdays there, encouraged every day to be as fully HIM as he can be. That's just how BellaVita runs. Any child lucky enough to be a part of this organization is reaping the benefits of their lucky stars.

    I wanted to write a review a lot sooner than now, but I wanted to make sure that I had the time to…read moregive it the absolutely stellar and comprehensive review it deserves. This school, and it's teachers are, without a doubt, the cream of the crop. My son is 3 1/2 and I couldn't ask for a more amazing place for him to be when he isn't with us. I checked out every preschool imaginable and there is no other place like The Bella Vita School. The children are cherished and treated like the very special individuals that they are. They get to garden, help make meals, learn Spanish, dance, science and herbs, math, reading, art and music. There is a ton of outdoor time(great back yard space with wonderful play structures, slides etc..) and a low student-to-teacher ratio that is so very important to a healthy learning environment for academics, socialization and emotional growth. The curriculum is very special and beautiful and includes friendship studies, job days, journals, and emotion cards to name a few. The vegan snacks and meals that are provided are delicious and the healthiest you will find anywhere. They offer half day and full day programs, which are very flexible and an AMAZING summer camp as well!! We have loved spending time at the monthly family get-togethers and wonderful school events that are put on by the staff. All of the families who send their children there are very down to earth and a real pleasure to be around. Most important, my son is so happy to go to school and is always sad to leave! We can't recommend The Bella Vita School more!!

    I cannot in good faith recommend this school to any child or family. My child went to this school…read morefor about 1.5 years, starting at about 2.5. I have PTSD from the judgement my child received, lack of support, poor communication, and overall unprofessionalism of leadership. The teachers were very kind, but unfortunately, not fully equipped to support a variety of children's needs. My child has thrived since leaving this school and had zero issues with classmates and teachers. I believe if you're child is quite docile and loves to work alone that this could be a fine enough option for you, but if that's not the case, I'd encourage you to look elsewhere. And my best advice is just to talk to a handful of parents at the school. It can seem really nice on the surface, but the best way to know what it's really like is to talk to the community of parents that currently have children enrolled. Many felt the same way, but as you know, it's hard to find good childcare so it was the lesser of the evils for a lot of families. I fully expect the school to try to retaliate this review (as defense was often the communication I was met with for any concerns), but I hope that some of the professionalism has come back to the school and they will just receive the feedback and learn from it.

    My children have attended Autana for the last two years and we have had a great experience! It's…read moreimportant to remember when dealing with toddlers they will always be unpredictable. But the one thing that you can count on at Autana is them addressing and mediating any issues that may be happening. The women are sweet and nurturing. They teach structure and peace and love our kids. I love that they eat healthy snacks and do community activities with the families of the school so we can all get to know each other. If you are looking for women who really invest in their job this is the school for you.
