Wildflower Preschool - Outdoor learning every day

Our 5.5 year old son attended Wildflower for 3+ years and it has been a wonderful experience. We…read morewere at a different preschool prior to Wildflower and it felt about cold and corporate and the teachers were completely disengaged. During our time at Wildflower the teachers have been so loving and kind to our son. He can be a bit challenging and had his fair share of temper tantrums, hitting, etc. The school was patient and open to suggestions or practices they could implement that they knew we were using at home. He really seemed to thrive there and we're so grateful to have found Wildflower. Also, the school Director, Amy Harman, has been very communicative and you can tell she absolutely loves the kiddos. Throughout the peak of COVID, Amy did an amazing job keeping up with the BVSD policies, sharing helpful information with the parents, and managing many differing opinions of how school should be managed at that time. There was a bit of turnover (which was the case throughout the entire country) and Amy managed it well and has hired many amazing teachers since then. Our son is now in Kindergarten but now his little sister (age 3) is there and she loves it! There's tons of outdoor play which we love. They even have a garden where the kids can help pick veggies and learn about them. We highly recommend Wildflower!

A Warning for Parents of Neurodivergent or ESL Children…read more My experience here was traumatic. If I could give zero stars, I would. We attended before my son's autism diagnosis, and he was treated with a shocking lack of empathy. The owner actually called me to claim my son had a 'medical tic'--which was actually just a self-soothing raspberry-blowing behavior he only did when he was extremely stressed by their environment. I witnessed systemic neglect: children who spoke English as a second language were left to sit alone without interaction, and toddlers were left to sob inconsolably after drop-off with no comfort from staff. I actually had to step in and hug a crying child myself because the teachers wouldn't. Most concerning was the lack of respect for parental boundaries and age-appropriate care. When my 3-year-old was nervous about potty training, I requested he wear a pull-up for one day to build his confidence. Instead, the staff spent 30 minutes of his school day forcing him back into underwear against my explicit instructions. Unless your child is neurotypical and requires no emotional support, stay away. This is not a safe or inclusive environment.

I get good quality pictures of his activities throughout the day and I am very satisfied with the care he receives.

Before I begin, I would like to preface noting that our child is a toddler. One who has temper…read moretantrums and cry's/screams, as many toddlers do. She's probably at the more difficult end of the spectrum, but still within the normal range of toddler behavior. We Sent our child to TLE for ~ 6 months. Initially she seemed to really enjoy herself and would willingly go. More recently, we noticed a change in her demeanor- she seemed way less happy and even despondent looking. We decided to remove her from TLE and try another environment. The new daycare also noted there was another child who recently moved from TLE who had a similar experience (and the thought that something may have happened or something was not right). We emailed TLE to let them know our child would be leaving. The content of the email was not at all hostile and was very concrete and polite. We never received a response, which we thought was bizarre, but continued to give them the benefit of the doubt. When we went to grab our things from TLE, they acknowledged receipt of our email but did not offer any additional concern or even a "sorry it didn't work out". We thought this was super weird at the least, and borderline creepy. In summary, we're glad we went with our gut and switched . I realize others may have completely different experiences and would not base your decision making on this review alone. We had a positive view of the staff up until the last few weeks, and this is one case from one parent. The lack of follow up was pretty disheartening though, and the primary reason for my review, as you would think members of the caring profession would at least care to ask about the child they cared for for a reasonable amount of time. We understand there are staffing shortages everywhere, covid is not making things any better, and childcare is one of the more difficult jobs around. However, this is our story and I figured it was worth sharing.

We were nervous finding the right preschool, especially with our daughter's speech and learning…read moreneeds. This place has been everything we hoped for and more. The integration of language, executive functioning, and play is unmatched. Her confidence has skyrocketed. She now talks to peers, participates in circle time, and loves showing us the "brain-building games" they do each day. The communication from teachers is fantastic, and it genuinely feels like a partnership.

My son enrolled at Science of Learning Preschool in September 2025 shortly after turning three. The…read moreprogram appealed to us because of its focus on speech therapy and early learning support. Mrs. Alexis shared that she previously worked as a preschool teacher in a public school district and opened this program to provide more individualized attention with a smaller student-to-teacher ratio. At the time of enrollment, my son had recently aged out of Early Intervention services and did not qualify for special education through St. Vrain Valley Schools. Based on a recommendation from our speech therapist, we decided to enroll him. During our tour, the school appeared welcoming, and we were told my son would be the youngest student. Since it was a new program, we understood there would be some initial organization still in progress. My son attended two half days a week from September through November. During that time, however, I did not receive any communication from the speech therapist--no updates, progress reports, emails, or conference opportunities. I was told speech sessions took place upstairs, but I was never offered a tour of that space or the opportunity to meet the therapist, which felt like a lack of transparency. My son was still potty training and had occasional accidents. After accidents, he was typically placed in a pull-up rather than being supported in transitioning back to underwear. As a very active child who had never attended daycare before, he did have a few minor incidents with peers. Since transferring to a new preschool, he has had none, which suggests this environment may not have been the right fit for him. In November, after tuition had already been withdrawn, Mrs. Alexis scheduled a conference. I expected a discussion about my son's progress, but instead was told she believed he would do better in a public preschool program and suggested Child Find. This was discouraging, as we had already completed that process and he did not qualify. It was also disappointing that this conversation occurred mid-year, without earlier communication or an attempt to create a support plan. During the meeting, I was asked about occupational therapy despite that information being clearly included in my paperwork. Comments such as "he can't hold a pencil" made me feel that instead of helping him develop skills, the program had decided he wasn't a good fit. I also noticed most students appeared significantly older, closer to kindergarten age, which may have contributed to the challenges. When I asked if my son should return, I was told, "We want him here as long as you want him here," but it did not feel reassuring. Ultimately, I chose to withdraw him and find another program. Finding a new preschool in November was stressful, but thankfully we did. My son is now thriving--he loves school, has had no behavioral incidents, no potty accidents, and receives warm, consistent support. The difference has been significant. While Science of Learning Preschool may work well for some children, it was not the right fit for our younger, high-energy child. I hope the program improves communication with parents and strengthens individualized support, especially given that these are key aspects the school promotes.

Little People's Landing in Louisville has been great. Our daughter has been going there for almost…read morea year now. We did a LOT of shopping around (including looking at the Little People's in Westminster) and chose LPL Louisville because they seemed to have the right balance of play and structure, guidance and hands-off, cleanliness, and letting kids be kids. They really focus on the kids and it's obvious that she is loved and really enjoys being there. Lately when we've pulled up I hear an excited "SCHOOL!" from the backseat. One of the biggest draws for us was the director Christine Hawkins. I can't say enough good things about her. She really helped our daughter adjust to daycare (most mornings going from my arms to her arms). When I switched jobs Christine worked with me to make sure the billing was done appropriately. Even recently when my husband had surgery, Chris worked it out so that our daughter could come extra days. Our daughter just moved up to the preschool classroom and is thrilled to be with "the big kids". While at LPL Louisville her vocabulary and language skills have gone off the chart! At her 2 year checkup her pediatrician told us that developmentally she was on par with a 3-4 year old. Clearly Little People's Landing in Louisville is a place where children flourish!

I have had the worst experience as a parent/ teacher with Little People's Landing Louisville! They…read morehave been extremely disrespectful and have went through every hoop they could to try and say we didn't hold up our end of the contract. They quoted me $200 every 2 weeks for our daughters tuition and after a week of me being employed and seeing the invoice it was $199 for just 1 WEEK!!! I told the office about the price difference and all they could do was say sorry. Fast forward 2 weeks later my employment ends and I have already been invoiced for the full week of childcare, they tell me to gather all my daughters things and leave; meaning she isn't allowed to continue her school week. I asked for an adjustment to the invoice to reflect that she didn't attend the rests of the week because the office unenrolled her and it was not our doing to leave. They said no. When I asked for the entire amount to just be removed because they didn't hold up their end of the contract, they finally adjusted the amount but said I'd accrue a late fee daily if I don't pay it. However I had asked for the entire amount to be removed at this point now because they didn't give the 2 week notice that was required in their end of the contract. They tried to email me the contract saying I had to hold up my end of it all while violating it themselves. My daughter had ZERO behavior issues and the director said to me "she's definitely getting used to us and the center." So they can't try to pull the behavior card. They withdrew her upon my job termination. They then tried to tell me I unenrolled her and that it was my doing. I didn't not withdraw her and had I did I would have done it to end the last date of the invoiced week as I would have had to pay anyways. They are being extremely confrontational and don't want to resolve anything. I do not play about my families hard earned money and will not accept an oh well as an answer. I will do everything I can to get this matter resolved and if I have to leave a review on every platform then so be it. Some of y'all may say I'm doing too much and should just drop it but I'm not and it will be escalated however far it needs to because people can't keep getting away with treating others unfairly. (If anyone has some advice on how else we can deal with this, that would be great.)
