Lydia and Olivia are amazing.

I also love that our son gets plenty of outdoor and indoor playtime, as well as creative play. Lydia has also been introducing some fun extra-curricular activities such as a music group, with instructor; yoga; science time, with instructor; and soon we'll have gymnastics instruction as well! This is all in a home environment too which adds to our son feeling safe and welcomed, and part of the ESTEMI family!

This is one of the cleanest Childcare centers in the city. My kids have attended this center and…read morenow my grandkids attend. I don't know what the negative reviews are about, but they are very adamant about caring for the child keeping the children clean and keeping the teacher child ratio at the exact requirements. They also provide food and the entire facilities always maintained and well taken care of. So whoever is giving negative reviews, I wonder if they really gave this place a chance. About the missing item review, do you know the items parents bring are left in the child's cubby for the entire week? Had you asked for the items back I'm sure they would have been returned to you had the center known you weren't returning, I don't know about ya'll but I've had the best experience so far.

Thank you to all of the wonderful staff and if you are look for a great place to enroll your child... look no further because you've found it!

My daughter went here for preschool during my ex wife's parenting time. I visited my daughter…read moremaybe 2 or 3 times total and for two of those times I brought donuts for the entire staff. I had a custody case in which one of their teachers was interviewed. This teacher, Zanaya Garrett Piazza made the following statements about me to the Child Family Investigator Amy Peterson (who was also very biased against me): "[Father] was totally opposite -- standoffish and brash, our rule is if you come in, introduce yourself to the children (they're trying to teach stranger danger). He did not let anyone know he was coming and then it was a little wierd for [daughter] . She would be active, super happy, and playful, then her dad would come in and bring doughnuts for Inaya to pick from but not anyone else". First off I brought donuts for the entire staff- NOT the kids. If you are teaching stranger danger to kids, the first rule is not taking candy from strangers. I am a very friendly person, thats one quality everyone who meets me says about me. This is a total fabrication and a slander against me. "Then he started sitting outside the gate, parking nearby, walking up to the school and staring. It gave some people anxiety because if someone didn't know he was a student's dad, they would have been concerned. Shortly after that she hired a para and she knew his native tongue, and he flirted with her in front of the students. She had asked that he only go to La Petite on days that he would pick up or drop off [daughter]. He became rude and did not care." NONE of this happened. The basic proof here is that I never dropped my daughter to this pre-school or picked her from there because she was not enrolled on my parenting time! She was enrolled at Crescent View Academy-- a much better school. "He would ask [daughter] "oh you're going with mommy's friend? Who is mommy's friend? She has worked with children a while and you can tell by the child's body language -- they shift away when a parent asks them about another parent. She would look at her like ' can you help me Ms. Z.? Ms. Z would try to engage her to come along but she was on his lap and he put pressure on her lap so she couldn't get up" I mean what telenovela is this? Was I having all these convos with a 3.5 year old child in front of the teacher? "At first she wass really excited to be at school and hang out with her peers, and then when she started going back and forth she filt like the confusion kicked in. And I know in their culture you're supposed to take a water cup to the bathroom. But at La Petite Academy they support them going to the bathroom whenver they need to. Father wanted to make sure [daughter] did that--but she had 30 other kids. And [daughter] was too young to know about their cultural beliefs and to know that she needed to bring a water bottle to the bathroom when it caused problems with the other kids." This is the real reason this bigot lied. she is a racist. And she has helped my rights to my own child get stolen from me based on these disgusting lies. Avoid this business at all costs, especially if you are a minority and a Muslim. Ms. Z herself is black, I do not understand where this bigotry comes from. This place should be out of business. The blatant lies told about me can be told about YOU and it can destroy your life. Especially if you are in the large Muslim community here, please avoid this place they are very Islamophobic.

We absolutely love 'La Petite Ecole'!!!…read more Patricia, the owner and educator, is incredible. This is our first year with La Petite Ecole, and Rebeca adores it. Here are just a few reasons why: Patricia's Character: She embodies kindness, love, patience, creativity, brilliance, organization, and thoughtfulness. Her positive impact on the children is immeasurable. Comprehensive Education: She teaches the children a wide array of skills--from calmly listening to stories and sharing toys, to cooking, gardening, cycling, drawing, painting, counting, reading, singing, and dancing. Thematic Learning: Every week brings a new theme for activities, keeping the learning experience fresh and engaging. Structured Daily Routine: Patricia ensures each day is well-organized, instilling good habits in the children such as taking naps at consistent times and eating together at the table. Parental Involvement: Through ClassDojo, parents receive daily updates with photos showcasing their children's progress and fun moments. Educational Field Trips: With the help of a few parents, Patricia organizes field trips to places like zoos, museums, parks, pumpkin patches, butterfly pavilions, and farms, enriching the children's learning experience outside the classroom. Every morning when I drop off Rebeca, I am confident she's in the best hands.

Our daughter will be graduating from La Petite Ecole in July and, while I am super excited to see…read moreher reach a new milestone and start Kindergarten, I am also very sad that she will be leaving this amazing preschool. Our son will take her spot in September so we will still be a part of it for another 3 years! I am grateful everyday to have found Patricia and to have placed our daughter in such a loving learning environment! They do SO much everyday: music, crafts, circle time, vocabulary, counting, walks in nature, field trips and on top of that they are fed delicious homemade meals for breakfast, snacks and lunch every single day! I can't recommend La Petite Ecole enough! Thank you Patricia for running the best preschool in the state of Colorado!

If zero stars was an option that would be my rating. I can only hope this review is read by parents…read morebefore enrolling children into this center. It is under staffed, unsafe and during my short time I witnessed a dozen licensing violations. The preschool class room has 12 to 15 children at any given time ages 2 1/2 to 4 years with only one adult. Current ratio is 8:1 for children 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 and 9:1 for 4-5. Because of the mixed ages in the class room some children arent potty trained and need to be changed frequently. However, there is no changing table in the room causing the only adult to leave 11 to 14 other children unattended or forcing a child to go hours without proper changing. With little supervision children are getting hurt constantly. The play ground has lose gravel wich is a breeding ground for more injury. I've witnessed several injuries from minor scratchs to concussions, none of which were reported to parents at the time and no incident reports were filed. In addition punishment for the young children is obscene and over zealous considering the mentality and maturity of the children. Kids are threatened with sitting in the office and when taken they do not return to the classroom for anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour. I've had parents tell me that the director yelled at a child and threatened they would not get breakfast if they could not behaive. Since when is a 30 minute time out or withholding meals a reasonable punishment? Last week was a tornado warning for the area, while taking my family to a safe place I called the center to ask if they too were on lock down. Being the center is mostly windows I was concerned for their safety. I was told no, and that the children attending before and aftercare were being picked up. An additional call was then made to the pickup school and we were notified the kids were not being released at their useal time due to the weather advisories. However, the person picking up the kids still went into the school and demanded the children be relaesed into his care. You can imagine the horror I along with the parents were faced with. Lucky the tornado didn't touch down, but if it had, who knows what could have happened. I, along with several other parents have addressed these safety concerns with the director, only to be told it is not something she can fix because she is overwhelmed with other duties. To my knowledge the center as of now, has 3 pending violations with the county and after a call to social services and licensing I'm certain the number will be inflated here shortly. Lastly, becuase the center is understaffed they are struggling to find qualified personal to fill the positions. Most of the "teachers" have NO quilifications, formal education or the state required 3000 hours of experience for early childhood education. You can imagine with no training or proper experience, many of these employees are not equipped to manage children properly in this situation. The teachers are commonly yelling at children and threatening them. When these means aren't productive bribery of candy or ice cream (which isn't actually ever given) becomes the new barging chip. My only suggestion is to put serious research when finding a provider for your child. Walk into the center several times unexpectedly and allow yourself a real view of the environment your child is placed in. A provider should be loving, caring, excited to see your child, he/she should come home with stories to tell and singing songs they've learned. If you son/daughter is crying when being dropped off, please let that be an indication that something is not rite.

The staff at Kinder College have consistently exceeded my expectations over the last almost two…read moreyears, that my son has attended. From his teacher, Ms. Nadia, to the wonderful Ms. Jacci to center director Ms. Malika, the school is the place to have your child attend for preschool. I think it's safe to say that every parents major concern is that your child is safe, cared for, loved and is involved in a program that help them to grow mentally and physically. I recommend this location 100% and with no hesitation. I truly love this location and staff.
