We started here in Feb 2020, and off the bat I have to give a huge shout out to Heather and Naomi…read morein the infant room. They're both incredible, detail oriented, and we couldn't have been happier leaving our son in their care. The previous Director, Brit, was also very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. After pulling our son out of KinderCare for a while during COVID, we returned in Spring '21 and there was a noticeable shift in the staff and attitude when we returned. It's only now that we're with a different daycare company that we realize how bad things really were at this KinderCare. Things were weird with dropoff/pickup, requiring parents to hand our kids off to random staff not allowing us in the classrooms due to COVID concerns, which we definitely appreciate, but this lack of seeing past the front lobby continued well after vaccines were available and the majority of CO residents had gotten them. There were times when we had to tell the person who our child was and what room they were supposed to be in as we're dropping them off. Not once after returning in Spring '21 did we meet the people caring for our son. One day he would be in one room, another day he would be in another room. It was weird having to leave our son with whoever randomly came out to get him on any given morning, not knowing where he was ending up or who would be watching him. Randomly the Director then emailed all of the parents saying she's moving out of state in two weeks, another odd red flag. During this time (Spring '21) it wasn't uncommon for us to get photos of our son being served meat, despite explaining that we're a vegetarian household. We would bring it to the attention of the staff and get responses like "it was only part of the photo but we didn't actually give it to him to eat". What?! He would routinely have accidents at daycare, despite at this point being potty trained and having no accidents at home, which had us wondering how often he was able to go to the bathroom or if his teacher paid attention to his requests to do so. There were a few times where we picked him up and his shorts had clearly been wet for a while, but he obviously hadn't been changed. There were also times when they emailed all of the parents asking to pick our kids up early because they didn't have enough people there to watch them. One week this was requested for 3 days in a row. This completely negates the point of child care if working parents have to leave work early to get their kids for no other reason than this KinderCare can't seem to figure out staffing issues. Finally one day at pickup (outside, waiting in line) I asked the Asst. Director what was going on since things had clearly started going off the rails here, and she told me they were trying to hire new staff "who actually care about their jobs". She also let me know that numerous staff members put in their 2 weeks notice and then just never returned. Yikes. As weird as all of this made us feel, it's only the stark contrast of our current daycare that brought to light how mismanaged Canyon Point KinderCare was by the time we left. If you're a parent questioning if what you're going through at Canyon Point is acceptable, it definitely is not.

She knows all the planets and knows most of the alphabet. She can even write some of the letters in her name. That's is just amazing at her age. They spend as much time as possible outside and who wouldn't want to with such a great outdoor space. All of the teacher has been amazing to us and out daughter. She even wants to have them all over for play dates, lol. This is a true montessori school and we really like this method of teaching. It has been very benefical for our daughter.

We recently enrolled our baby in Bright Horizons and feel incredibly lucky to have Miss Jenna as…read moreour teacher. As first-time parents navigating the daycare experience, we didn't quite know what to expect--but she has exceeded every hope we had and more. Miss Jenna has such a natural gift for working with babies. She is genuinely kind, patient, and attentive, and it's clear how much she truly cares. Our 5-month-old absolutely adores her--he lights up the moment he sees her in the morning, which gives us so much comfort and reassurance. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our baby feels loved, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. We especially appreciate the thoughtful updates and photos she sends--they brighten our day and help us feel connected even while we're apart. We are so grateful for Miss Jenna and the positive, nurturing environment she creates. She has made our first daycare experience an overwhelmingly wonderful one, and we truly couldn't ask for a better person to care for our baby!!

My daughter in law had a tour of this location and I was appalled. the under 2 room was a slightly…read moreoversized janitor closet with nothing of color on walls it the floor the children were just wondering around with absolutely nothing to do. I asked if this was a transition room possibly between outside taking off coats washing hands etc... and was told no they were in that room all day. The regular teacher admin out of the country, but was not doing anything to quarantine yourself when she got back they were just going to 'watch her' to see if she had any symptoms of Covid or other illness she was with the children. it broke my heart to see these little ones wondering around so miserably no smiles no laughter. I then witnessed 2 boys tormenting a girl in a different class pretending to use light cabers as weapons as she lay on the floor covering her head. A teacher an aide as well as the asst director not paying any attention to what was happening. I was livid that this was being allowed or ignored and instantly said something so that the situation was addressed. I have been in education for years and would not allow this facility to watch any child. I wish I had known the little girls family so I could contact them and told them what was happening. Obviously there was no way we were using this daycare. I plan to pursue the issues with state. Please for your children Do Not use this facility and be extremely cautious when leaving your children in the care of others. My daughter in law had heard gold reviews of this location. Completely unfathomable! The other locations also withheld their deposits for waiting lists when they choose to question the level of commitment to children! Disgraceful on every level.

I am deeply concerned about the poor professionalism and management displayed by Directors and her…read moreassistant .Their behavior creates a negative and chaotic environment that reflects poorly on the childcare facility. There appears to be clear favoritism among children and staff, which is unfair and unacceptable in a professional childcare setting. In addition, the quality of care and supervision is poor, raising concerns about the emotional well-being and treatment of the children. Harassment, unprofessional conduct, and lack of proper leadership should not be tolerated in a place responsible for caring for kids. I am deeply concerned about the childcare environment and the treatment of children at this center. It appears that children of different races and nationalities, including Black and Hispanic children, may be treated unfairly or discriminated against. The facility is also very dirty, has strong unpleasant odors, and does not appear to be cleaned professionally or maintained properly. Many children seem to get sick frequently, which raises serious concerns about sanitation, health, and safety standards. Management and leadership do not seem to take these issues seriously or make necessary improvements for the well-being of the children.

If he did not enjoy math, how can he later? He was not thrilled about the idea of having to do more homework on a daily basis but I took him to the Kumon center in Castle Rock and after the initial visit he told me how much he liked Mr. Leo and how he could possibly enjoy it after all.. Its been about 5 months since he has been in the program and right before the new year, I received an update from his teacher complimenting how much progress he's made in the last few weeks. My son even came home one day and said "Mom, I got moved to a new math group in class and guess what? Its the smart group!". Hearing those words made me realize that this program is working for him and I only hope he'll continue on this path. I can tell he is more comfortable with numbers, has more confidence on his math homework from school and passes his math assessments with higher scores than I've ever seen. It does take a lot of persistence from us parents to motivate to get the daily worksheets done. We certainly have our good and bad days but Kumon has been great and my son really enjoys going to the center on the assigned days. Mr. Leo has been great and I know he truly cares about my son's knowledge. Thank you for everything Kumon!

I know a great learning environment when I see one and this place is a gem! So happy we found it and that our little princess gets to experience this as her first 'school' experience. She will treasure her time at Happy Valley forever.

The new leadership - Tina and Rachel - are amazing and just what this center needed after a rough few months when the previous director left. They are communicative and always around, providing comfort when you have to leave your kids. Beyond that, my son loves them both and that is the most obvious sign that they are wonderful. After some turnover last year, I feel like the current teacher roster is working out very well. The teachers are engaging with the kids and me, we get a ton of photos every day, and my son is thriving in the environment. In particular I want to call out the teachers that make me comfortable leaving my kids - Amy, Maggie and Marta in infants. Marta also helps in the kitchen so extra kudos to her. And Ms Audrey for preschool. We're very happy with our experience and would highly recommend!! TRULY cannot say enough wonderful things and happy to speak to anyone about my experience.
