Basic minimum care was not performed and we no longer felt it was safe or healthy for our son to attend this facility. My child in the toddler 1 room was often unsupervised, didn't get his diaper changed, was left outside without proper clothing in cold temperatures, and didn't have the right ratio of teachers to students when dropping in unexpectedly. Avoid at all costs.

I knew when it was time to send my infant to a daycare facility, this would be the place. Not only is it affordable but we LOVE the teachers!! My son is an easy going guy and he has had a smooth transition into daycare, which is so comforting to a new and first time mama!! He is actually a much happier guy on days that he spends socializing with other babies and the teachers are always so attentive to him and are very communicative with me when I come pick him up. I cannot imagine sending him anywhere else!!

They do a beautiful job meeting each child where they're at, and tailoring the preschool experience to each student's needs and interests. Every time I am there, I see classrooms full of joy, imagination and creativity. It really is a magical place! Our family has also really enjoyed the co-op model, where parents are an active part of the school community. We have built strong relationships with other families and school staff in a way that just doesn't happen at other schools.

One of the very few schools that not only understands what it takes to create a successful and…read morepositive early childhood education experience, but demonstrates it in everything that they do here. My 4 year old is THRIVING here. He WANTS to go to school, even on days that he doesn't have school. (This was not the case last year at a different preschool.) As an educator, experienced in early childhood and elementary schools, I have been impressed with this school from the moment I first read about their philosophy on their website, to touring the school and seeing it in-person, to now having my child go to this school and seeing the positive impact that it is making on him and nurturing his love for learning and play. Not only have I been an educator for over 12 years, but I also wrote my Master's degree thesis on the importance of play. For those that want to learn more about why play is so important for children, check out the books: Einstein Never Used Flash Cards and Last Child in the Woods. To then have a child 4 years after writing my thesis and 4 years after that, find a school that actually understands, embraces, and models this essential part of childhood is so gratifying. My son especially loves when it is our "helping day" in the classroom and I love it too. I get to be a part of his learning, curiosity, and observe how he interacts with others and the world around him... this is so important to his growth and development in knowing how to best support and guide my child at home.

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!

The best preschool!! Both of my boys have attended My School Preschool and we have had equally…read morewonderful experiences both times. The facilities are gorgeous - lot's of natural light in each classroom, separate art room, library, and huge gymnasium! Plus a great playground for all ages. The teachers are outstanding and unlike some of the schools we considered, most have been there long before we first started in 2019. They all seem passionate about their jobs and our kids and make every day so much fun. My older son started Kindergarten this past year and I was beyond happy with how well prepared he was. I love this school and highly recommend it for any family searching for a pre-school and/or pre-K.

We love all the teachers! All classrooms have large windows so the rooms are bright! Their playground is spacious and has plenty to keep the littles busy and engaged. There is huge gymnasium that the kids can run around and play in. During play time cars, tricycles, balls, and scooters are available. There is a separate dedicated art room and library. The hallways and classrooms are cheerful and colorful- decorated with all the art projects our kiddos create. It's truly a school that gets our children kindergarten ready- and not operated like a daycare. Our oldest son had attended a different preschool previously and we left because our experience was not great. My son transitioned perfectly into MSP and never cries at drop off anymore. He LOVES all the teachers and looks forward to seeing them and his friends. My son is learning valuable lessons like sharing, being part of a team, developing independence, in addition to academics. Each classroom has 2 qualified teachers. All the teachers are warm and welcoming. We've just loved every teacher we've had so far and are looking forward to having the ones we haven't had yet. Everyone is friendly and happy and the halls are filled with happy children! We truly feel MSP is an exceptional school. The school has been around for a long time and we're so happy we found it! This school is helping our family set the foundation of education for our children.

We started at Montclair in 2010 and have been here ever since. The students, staff, and families make up an wonderfully diverse segment of Denver's population and have been a wonderful community for our family. I have also worked at the school the past few years fostering the Enrichment program which brings learning to life and enhances the curriculum in unique ways. Montclair focuses on Enrichment and Personalized Learning and fosters student learning in a variety of innovative ways including community partnerships, field experiences, and many guest speakers throughout the year. I would also state that the comments made from a parent in 2008 are outdated and would welcome you to stop by Montclair for a tour if you are interested in this wonderful neighborhood school!

I usually try to be as objective as possible when offering my opinion or experiences of anything because I do realize it is merely my opinion. So, I came up with a list of "thank you's" I'd personally like to offer Montclair and the DPS system. (I have edited this list of thank you's to the few I think are relative to this review and the rest I am saving for my formal letter to the school board.) Thank you for allowing my child to be harassed on the playground and allowing him the opportunity to learn new words even I don't know the meaning of. Thank you for changing my child's love of learning to a detestation of school. A personal thank you to the principal for engaging in a personal, emotional, unprofessional argument with my ex-husband on the topic of unsubstantiated "reasons your child was pulled from the accelerated class and placed in a marginal learning/ 50% esl class" - this was comical at best. Thank you DPS for keeping it real - Real Mediocre.

They've developed a strong Jewish identity, learned to think critically and creatively, and built meaningful friendships across the school. What stands out most is how well the teachers truly see and understand each child. They recognize individual strengths and interests, encourage students to challenge themselves, and create opportunities for them to grow in areas where they can really shine. It's incredible to watch children become more confident and discover what they're capable of. No school is perfect, but DJDS provides a warm, supportive community where children can discover their strengths, become confident leaders, and thrive. As parents, we've also found a community that feels like family.

It certainly feels like that: "At this time, we are declining Xxxxx's admission for the 2026-27 year.

This is a sweet kid who was scapegoated and mistreated in public school. Their response is to reject him? Bizarre and unfathomable.
