My son has been at the Denver Kindercare for 2 years and we both absolutely LOVE it!! Every morning we are welcomed by friendly greetings and he is loved on throughout the day. I get amazing updates and communications through out the day which allows me to work in peace knowing he's loved and well taken care of. All of the staff is amazing and so loving. As a toddler, I signed my son up for music and now he's doing phonics and cooking classes with Mrs. Crystal and absolutely loves every class!! Thank you Denver KinderCare for all you do for our family read more

I've been bringing my kids to this kindercare for almost 5 years. I absolutely love the communication and dedication this place has with me and my kids. I can go to work in peace knowing that my kids are cared for and loved as of I had left them with family. If you ever wondering on where or who to watch your babies I highly recommend the Denver kindercare. The center director Kim Grant makes the whole center welcoming. Sam Benavidez is caring and professional. I know if I ever have a concern those two are on it, to help in any way they can. read more

PLEASE follow your gut! There is a reason they do not have google reviews. I only saw FB reviews online which do not help as I am not on FB. I should have looked at these reviews first, but they're hard to find, I hate seeing the previous employee reviews. I had my son who is newly 2 at this facility for 4 days before I took him out. I do not know what happened to my child, but it is VERY clear something was happening to him there. The teachers in their morning drop off have no empathy and seem annoyed with the kids. They take the children from you so you can leave and then you can just hear them screaming. They do not comfort them, in fact they just set them down and walk away. On the 2nd day I had a teacher lie to me about water! His water was left in the morning room, which accidents happen. Instead of saying that the lady brought it back to us and said oh he forgot it in the morning room, but he drank water, I refilled his bottle this morning. I knew immediately that was a lie as the bottle was overfilled (ice melted) and it still had the white peach grape flavor I put in it. Why lie? Trust was broken there. Next, I was told that magically by day 2 my son was using the potty and not having accidents. My son has accidents, this is a new place, additionally, he takes his pants off to go to the bathroom and that magically was not happening here. I would see in the app he had potty on the toilet. Yet then I was told he has an issue with the changing table. YES he hates that and I advised the lady he should not be put on it. After day 3, I was told he again had no accidents, yet he had his jeans in a bag and new pants on and no explanation. He also had a bruise on his back and on his legs. He is 2 so who knows. However, he started saying "ouchie" and "owie" to his genitals and that area when I was changing his pull up that evening. My son has NEVER done or said this. I was VERY concerned and worried something happened. My guess is they were too rough with him. I asked about it and was told "I don't know, I don't think anything happened to him" I'm sorry, you think? After day 4 I could not send him back, 1. because he had the biggest meltdown and was hanging on to items in the house because he was so scared and upset about school. I have literally never seen my son so upset. Real tears and I could hear his heart beating so fast. Plus, he had caught a little cold. Those teachers do not wipe the kids noses or faces. It was so sad to see a box of tissues and all the kids with red hurt noses, and snot running down their face. There was also NEVER a time I went there and did not hear kids crying. I did have a bad gut feeling when I went to the visit, but I was desperate as I am a single mom and my nanny up and quit with no notice. The only reason I tried it out was because I met Ms. Danielle, who I was told would be his teacher and she seemed nice. My son had her for 1 day when he was there and that was it. I will note when I picked my son up he was eager to leave, he grabbed my leg and headed to the door, he was not wanting to stay at all. I tried to chalk it up to this was his first day care and it is a new environment and place. But this is not normal. I will say Sam is kind, he seems nice enough. I did have a private conversation about all of this with him and let him know I was writing this review. I was disappointed that he did not do anything to make it right. He did not even seem that concerned. (Another red flag) Honestly based on the last two reviews I saw just today on Yelp, I would say it is probably accurate. They do not have cameras in the rooms I am sure for a reason. After I had this talk with Sam, I went to get my son's stuff. And magically even though my son was using the potty and supposedly not having accidents, I only got 3 pull ups back when I sent him with 18. So CLEARLY I was being lied to about that. And I do whole heartedly believe they hurt my son even if it was not intentional. A baby does not say ouch and owie to their privates out of nowhere. It is also obvious there are several workers that do not like their jobs or kids. They have no poker faces and if you wait outside the room out of site, you can hear them talking to the littles in a way you do not talk to a kid, they are kids not adults. Lastly, they have a 2-week policy, there is no trial period. We went 4 days, I gave a 2-week notice that 1st week. I said he might attend the next week, so I waited to express my concerns out of fear of retaliation and that they might hurt him more. I told him he would not be there the 3rd week at all. You would think they would waive the $380 for the 3rd week, but they did not. So, I was stuck paying $380 for 3 weeks. $1140 for 4 days. He is now in a new place now and has been happy & fine, so it just confirmed something bad happened here to him. I would not send your child here, too many red flags and lack of compassion and care, I do believe there is abuse occurring here. read more

I've brought my son to Denver KinderCare since he was 3 months old. He'll be turning 2 in October and he loves coming to school! The directors and teachers are all amazing! We are always met with a warm welcome, great communication, and compassion. I am so thankful for all of the love my son receives each day. It gives me such peace of mind to be able to drop him off and know that he is learning and growing in a safe and happy environment. There's an easy to use app that shares everything from meals, diaper changes, nap times, and activities. My favorite part is definitely getting pictures throughout the day. I love seeing what my son is up to and there's always fun curriculum in class. I'm forever grateful to Kim, Sam, and Christal for always showing up for each and every student with kindness. And I can't thank my son's teachers enough, both past and present, for always being there to comfort and guide him. I would 100% recommend bringing your child here! read more

Our son (our first child) has been in the infant room for a little over 3 months, and we're having a great experience so far! Ms. Renee and Ms. Roxi love him and care for him like he is one of their own, and we feel very in the loop with updates and pictures via the KinderCare app. They're also great resources to us new parents, with helpful, gentle suggestions when my husband and I ask for them. I can't speak for the older kids' rooms, but I do see how much Ms. Kim and Mr. Sam, the director and assistant director, seem to know every child who walks in the door and how they greet them with a smile. We also appreciate that they have flexible hours and not many days closed, good for our busy working schedules. read more

I still hear the kids crying and being yelled at during out door play. Once again this is not the place that I would want to send my child to. read more

As a previous employee, I saw firsthand the staff being awful to the kids (some going as far as telling me they hate kids) and a member of the staff forced dirt in one of the children's mouth. The people in charge did next to nothing about the incident and did not even tell the parents about the incident. I would never send my child here. read more

Our 2-year-old daughter has been attending this kindercare for about a year. We have LOVED our experience. Before we started I was nervous because we couldn't tour or meet the teachers (because of COVID-19). The staff was so accommodating to this worry and sent us pictures of the teachers and the classroom before we started so our daughter was prepared. She has learned SO much this year, it's really amazing. When she comes home its clear she has been learning ALL DAY LONG. The teachers (Cassie and Ms. Greer), have been so loving and responsive. We use the app and see updates all day long. Finally, they are potty-training pros! The teachers were so patient with our daughter and made her feel proud and successful. 100% recommend this center! read more

My son started attending KinderCare as an infant and is currently in the toddler room. All of his teachers have been very loving, caring and attentive. He truly loves going to daycare every single day and is always happy and excited to see everyone. We've had a great experience there and would absolutely recommend. read more

Do not send your kid here. I set up an appointment for a tour--at a time that they requested--and took off work to meet them. I sat for 30 minutes without being helped, other than random staff members that asked if I had been helped and then said that they would get someone to help me. Eventually, I was told that there was nobody there to meet with me. If they cannot keep an appointment--that was made only three hours beforehand--then how can they keep your kids safe? Also, it's dirty. My suggestion would be to find somewhere else. That's what I am doing. read more

Our daughter has been attending since 12 weeks and now is 6 months. We have felt nothing but great things for his location. When I drop her off her face lights up at Ms. Kelsey and Ms. Gaby. She is well taken care of and everyone seems to genuinely care about her. read more

First off, our expectation was pretty high, considering their rate was significantly higher than other places we looked at in Denver. For $17,000 a year we expected the best care for our son, not a filthy, babysitting chop shop. We enrolled our 1-yr old and in the first 2 weeks, he was bitten (in the eye), attacked with scratches on the other side of is face/eye, given uncooked vegetables (choking hazard), and offered syrup and other salty/sweet foods NOT on the Kindercare approved toddler menu. Most importantly he was "cared" for by 5 different people in the classroom on his first day with no approach, transition or concern for a new child going through separation anxiety. There was no consistency in the classroom and on most days, he would see 4-5 individuals. There was no communication with fill-in teachers during mandated break and lunch times including not giving our child his security blanket during nap time, his very first day! Can you imagine our child being put to sleep by a stranger with no comfort? I was sick to my stomach hearing that. On week 3, our child was bitten again by the same girl and we were told that they were treating each incident with that child as an independent event and not a pattern of conduct because she had problems at home. First of all, that is a privacy violation for that family. Second, safety should be a priority for all children and it clearly was not here. Of 6 centers we reviewed this year Kindercare is the only one to not have a biting policy and every other one said facial incidents are considered deal breakers. Yet Kindercare allowed 3 in 3 weeks with no intent to resolve. Additionally, we repeatedly asked the workers to fill in the amount of food our child ate for us to gauge what to expect at dinner time and they never followed through. There would be random substitutions to the menu because of lack of planning (mostly reusing food from the previous day) and in general they gave the 1-yr old room 1% milk vs the better choice (and supposed supply for toddlers) of whole milk. Diaper cream was also applied randomly despite numerous requests to apply at each diaper change because of our son's recurring diaper rash. The facility was very rundown and dirty in general. See photos of dead bugs and filth. I can provide many more photos of our son's injuries and the facility if any are wanted. The director, Coreen, was nice and listened to our concerns and appeared appalled by our experiences but there was no change in anything. In fact it was just more uncomfortable our last 2 weeks after speaking up. Since leaving 2 caregivers at Kindercare apologized for our experience and explained the issues have been ongoing and they wouldn't place their own children there. Our new facility has a former Kindercare teacher and that person has shared some unsettling things with us about the facility as well. For what it is worth, trust your instincts and don't assume paying more is getting more. We are now paying $3000 less a year for a daycare closer to our home where our son is thriving, even joyful to be there! read more

My daughter has been at this Kindercare center for over a year and we love it. The teachers are great and really care for the kids and their development. The staff was also very accommodating when I unexpectedly took my nephew in- they were great at enrolling him immediately and working with our special needs. Both of the kids are very fond of their teachers and enjoy going to school everyday! read more

My three-year-old son has made a complete turnaround after beginning at Denver Kindercare the past six months.  When he started he was kicking and biting and lashing out but all of that stopped after he started at Kindercare.  An obvious advance in his education was apparent as well.  I know that his teachers are really succeeding because he is able to answer the daily questions provided for the parents, not to mention when he "teaches" mommy and daddy about how plants grow emulating the teachers and showing how truly interested he is and the impact they are making in his life. I love the way we get daily progress reports about nap time and lunch time as well as a description of what he is learning each day.  For the first time ever, after moving up to the next class, my son decided he wanted to be "little" again because he loved Mrs. Ciarra so much!  Thank you to ALL the staff at Denver Kindercare especially Siham, Angelica, Ciarra, Cindy, Crystal, Renee, Sam, Jeremy and Taylor for helping me raise my child in an environment where I know he is safe, happy and being prepared for his best future! read more

My son has gone to a couple different daycares and this one is the best. I feel safe leaving him here. As a mother who works all the time, it is so comforting to feel that way. The daycare has helped teach him sharing, re-directing, change, and a list of many other things a little two year old should know. My son loves all of his teachers. He loves it here and it is a good feeling to know the staff there is looking out for his best interest. He has made many friends and enjoys his time there. They do arts and crafts and let him explore his imagination. I am really thankful for this daycare. read more

Our son has been going here for 2.5 years, and our daughter started a few months ago, when she was three months old. We feel so blessed to have the Kindercare team as part of their lives. Everyone is warm, welcoming, and friendly--even the teachers from other rooms all know our childrens' names and how they are doing, and always stop to say hi in the hallway. We like that it is NAEYC accredited (the strictest standards) and that many of the staff have been there for years (although there is some turnover of newer staff). The infant room teachers give us frequent updates on our daughter's development and day-to-day activities, and most importantly, they shower our baby with love. The older classrooms are always doing fun art projects, and learning through play, dance, books, songs, and more. The hours are great for a working couple with unpredictable schedules, which makes our lives much less stressful. However, if we pick the kids up at the very end of the day, it can be a little bit chaotic and our son is often in one of many different classrooms since they consolidate rooms. There are great events like the Halloween Fall Festival and the Winter Gala to help you feel more connected to your child's learning environment. It feels like a small, very personal center--everyone is always willing to carry something out to the car if your hands are full or accommodate your child's special needs. That friendliness and personal attention are a huge part of what we love about Kindercare. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a while. My son spent a few months in Denver KinderCare's infant room September - December 2017, so this review is limited to the infant room during that time period. We actually only ended up at KinderCare because we were waiting for another day care to have a spot (a day care that was closer to our house and allowed us to go part time). Meanwhile, we had a very good experience at this KinderCare and really could not think of a single bad thing to say about this day care. The two infant room teachers (Gabby and Kelsey) seemed very attentive with the kids and always provided nice feedback at the end of each day. We felt like our son was very well cared for. The front area and infant room always seemed clean. When our son would unexpectedly be out for a day, they would call us in the morning to check in. When the other day care that was closer to our house finally had a spot for our son, we were surprised how sad we were to leave KinderCare. Even after the switch, we debated if it was the right choice and whether we should go back since we missed it so much. read more

I have had both children Kindercare since they were three months old. I have watched them grow into adorable young boys at four and two. Kindercare has been a huge part of their physical, emotional, and intellectual. This center is so caring. Each member has embraced my child as if he were their own. They are flexible and adapt to the needs of every individual child in that center. They were willing to work with me on cloth diapers when I brought in my first child! I truly feel as though if that is a second home for my entire family. Not just for my children but for me and my husband as well. Each faculty member has brought their unique style and background to the center and it has made my children very well rounded. The curriculum is personal and allows each child to grow individually. The communication is amazing. I receive a written update each day, along with a verbal summary upon pickup. If drop off is hard, and they see that look in my eye, they call as soon as my children are happy (usually within minutes). They call me whenever there is a concern either on my behalf or theirs. When my children come Home they are so excited to tell me what they have learned, what songs they have sung, what books they have read, and with whom they have played . They have even had experts coming to class and teach them about cool things like insects, snakes and butterflies. This center is wonderful and I am so grateful that my children have been raised this environment. They truly embrace the motto : it takes a community to raise a child. read more
