Don't be surprised if this review is met with a defensive, minimizing, or manipulative reply - my personal experience predicts this will be the case. I have seen the director Michael on Facebook telling parents not to pay attention to the Colorado Shines website to me that should be a Red Flag they not only have something to hide but are actively working to hide it. For a school that has been around since 1970 you would think they could pass an inspection by now without manipulation or paying someone - see photos.

The Little Red School House, as Children's House is so lovingly referred to in our family, has been…read morethe only preschool I've sent my children to (once they reached 2 1/2) upon arriving in Boulder, from an inner city environment 4 years ago. My oldest, who is now going into 1st grade, was in need of a lot of stimulation outside of the home when he was little. He was one of those very active, curious kids always seeking out new adventures and interests. The education staff took great care in feeding that curiosity from the first day. Their story book journey curriculum is a tested and proven method (see Ashley Merriman's and Po Bronson's, Nurture Shock) for early childhood education success across all areas of learning, whether it be speech, pre literacy, social awareness, personal development, gross/fine motor etc. My husband and I beamed when our 3 year old son came home with books on sharks for us to read to him from the school and started memorizing facts and reciting them to friends and relatives. It seemed he had met his match. As an elementary age kiddo he has flourished into a very kind, loving, enthusiastic and confident student. I give a lot of credit for that to Elaine, the director at Children's House. Our youngest son will be starting his final year at CHP in the fall. He has developed so much from their care by learning self confidence, self reliance and finding his own voice. He is now looking forward to being a leader for next years students and I know he will continue to thrive in this loving, nurturing environment. A point worth making is that it is a one room school house meaning the children are of mixed ages together throughout their day. I can only speak from my family's experience but it has been wonderful to watch our children flourish as they get older, growing first from silent observer, to active participant and lastly to confident leader. The one room serves as a wonderfully safe and creative environment to explore through play, art, music, and pre literacy story telling. While it is a very active and diverse classroom, each child really does find their own sense of peace and space to grow within it. Children's House Preschool has been a very, very positive experience for my family.

This is one of the most welcoming, warm, safe and engaging places I've ever found! We discovered…read more Dream Makers when our summer nanny had to take a last min trip back East. My daughter was 4 years old and had never ever been to daycare. Needless to say I was nervous and scrambling. We reached out to a number of places that were great but had a policy about booking two days prior, or really scary spots that took same day care (picture strip mall). To our luck Deb from Dream Makers reached back to me. I filled her in over email and she sent back the following: "If her shots are up to date, and you have the paperwork we would be happy to have her." I looked at their website (which does not do it justice) reread the email and confirmed. I should also pause here to note part of the reason I did not put my daughter into daycare was that I worked at Wellesley College in the Center for Research on Women - on a longitudinal study of daycares in MA. So not only am I a bit of an expert in what quality center care is BUT I've seen enough to be very weary. We arrived on our first morning (signed up for a week) and I was BLOWN away by the warm welcoming environment it is a multi room space filled with toys, science, nature, dress up books and love. It's an open air space where the children can play inside or outside fluently. This is RARE! It had a backyard overlooking the Boulder River with a rocktship, magical climbing rocks (have to see for yourself) and art eagles set up facing the river!! The staff was engaging, my daughter had the BEST time. They had super healthy snacks, the center is clean and safe. My daughter loves this "camp" so much that we could not imagine a summer without them!

I am a doctor and the child health consultant for this school, and I highly recommend it to my…read morepatients (over other preschools) for 3 main reasons: 1. This is the only preschool I know of in town that takes a Love and Logic approach to teaching the children. Love and Logic is a parenting method that empowers children to make choices and decreases tantrums and power struggles, and I recommend it to all of my families with difficult children. It's very important to practice Love and Logic consistently in ALL of the child's environments, i.e. at home AND at school. 2. They have a small class size and low ratio of instructors to students (1:5) which is also the best I've found in town, and that allows them to really focus on each child, and allow each child to develop to their full potential at their own pace. 3. They haven't had an outbreak of ANY infectious disease (not even strep, flu, or hand-foot-mouth) in the 15 years that they've been open. I see outbreaks run through most preschools, but never this one! The school is always very clean, and the children learn about hand washing and preventing the spread of germs. Now I'm a new mom, and I plan on sending my little girl to this school when she turns 2!

You will be so pleased that you chose Huntington Broomfield. You will look back on this time and…read moresay not only did my child find highly qualified committed caring tutors and also that Melissa and team see and appreciate your child for who they are and the gifts they bring.  Both my kids worked with Melissa and team solely on Zoom. One kid is very driven. One struggled quite a bit with self-confidence. Melissa met each kid exactly where they were at and gave them the praise and encouragement they both needed. She helped them approach the test fully grounded in real self-confidence. She also taught them life lessons of how to prepare for tests in college and grad school and for challenges in life. Many families regard test prep as a stressful, dreaded time. I guarantee you: Melissa will fill you with the confidence that she's got your kids and thanks to Melissa, your kids have got this!

I feel very passionate about my review. It is very…read moreupsetting to see that the Broomfield Huntington has such poor reviews. IT IS JUST NOT TRUE! If you press on REVIEWS NOT RECOMMENDED at the bottom of the review section, you will see so many great reviews. Why the bad reviews are the only ones being publicized is ridiculous! My son has been going to Huntington for many years, from grade school until present. He is now preparing for ACT/SAT. Melissa, the owner, is down to earth, honest, passionate, and by all means, she completely cares about the students in the program. Yes, it is expensive, but our experience is overwhelmingly positive. Our personal experiences: * My son always comes home feeling more confident and really does like attending. * He has never once complained about any of the teachers, although he has his favorites! * The staff is always available to answer any questions or address concerns. * Once in High School, I insisted that my son schedule his own study sessions, to teach him responsibility and autonomy. I imagine it was a bit of a headache for the staff at first, but they never once complained and supported my philosophy. * Over the years, my son's organization, attitude and study skills improved to the point that he now uses Huntington 'as needed' when he finds himself struggling in a class. He also attends weekly for college prep study. *The staff will even meet with your child's teachers to make sure that all those involved are working together for a common plan. There are many other positives, but I think my above testimony is enough to express my views. When a parent sees their child struggle, it can be painful. We worry about their self confidence, their feelings of self worth, their future etc. Huntington not only addresses the student's issues but the parent's concerns as well! Thank you, to all the wonderful staff who have been, and continue to be such positive influences on our son and subsequently our family.

The space is adorable--they had me at the little red schoolhouse--cozy but not cramped, bright, and in a separate building from the owners' home, so the space is entirely devoted to the kids. The nap and imaginative play area downstairs is actually restful and dark, unlike some other home daycares or centers, where cots are squashed into the bright main play space and kids who are not sleeping are making noise in the same area. Meals are civilized and wholesome, and it's so nice not to have to pack lunch and snacks or pay a premium for served meals. The curriculum Sarah uses provides fun early learning experiences and promotes the values we hold dear: learning through play and nurturing relationships with caring, interested adults, a balance of structure and free play, healthy, calm, and social meals, and stimulating experiences involving movement, imagination, art-making, the outdoors, and music. Sarah has been extremely communicative and accommodating, allowing us to bring our daughter to come and experience the program for a couple hours one day before enrolling, and staying in close touch now that she's started there. We feel so lucky to have found this sweet place with such a great mix of the structure one might look for in a center and the personal care and cozy environment of a home daycare.

My daughter was behind coming into the school, and had a hard time staying on track with her classmates. One of the therapist that helps children that are falling behind in reading noticed that my daughter was learning differently than the other students. She suggested a specialized children's ophthalmologist, for an issue that not many would notice. She changed the course of my daughters life. She's now in vision therapy and gets extra help at school. They noticed a learning disability and jumped on it quickly. I couldn't be happier with our experience at DJDS and look forward to watching all three of my daughters strive there.
