The updates throughout the day from our teachers, Ms Ryleigh and Ms Brey, are so thoughtful and detailed. We look forward to reading them as soon as they post! We love all of the cute photos and creative activities that they set up for the kiddos each day, and how they lean in to different themes and holidays each month. You can really tell how much these teachers, and the school, care about creating a safe and welcoming space that promotes learning and growth for each individual child.

Families are very invested in this school too. It's a parent participation preschool. As a parent, you get to see your child play with other kids (social skills) and interact with the teachers. I highly recommend this preschool.

Why you may ask? 1. The teachers are friendly, warm, knowledgeable and just fantastic! 2. It was affordable and available on days I needed for my kids 3. Parents are encouraged to be involved and participate in the fun activities....I love this! 4. Learning is play based 5. The kids go on field trips....the owl-themed trip to the Audubon Society was great! 6. Curriculum is fun, diverse and special guests are often invited to share their knowledge 7. Preschool is accredited! 8. Is a part of the Wilder Elementary School and helps simplify the transition to Kindergarten. 9. My kids LOVE school...and excited for each new day. 10. Teachers have a relationship with each student and parent. Wilder Preschool is Family! I have friends that drive their kid from Highlands Ranch to attend this school. It's the best :)

He comes home using stuff he learned in class, and I'm constantly blown away with his progress. He also truly enjoys going... he anticipates the drive there and yells out, "There's my school!" when we turn the corner onto Coal Mine. :) I was even more convinced we made the right choice when, at his Kindergarten informational night, we were given a handout of the "80 things your child should know to be ready for Kindergarten" and our son had 78 of them down pat already. And he still has four more months of preschool left! My daughter has another year until she's in pre-K, but guess where she'll be going? :)

The teachers in the infant room are incredibly attentive, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child. They take the time to learn every baby's individual needs, routines, and personality, which has made such a difference for our daughter. We always feel reassured knowing she is in a safe, loving, and engaging environment. Communication has been excellent--whether it's updates throughout the day, feeding and nap details, or just sharing sweet moments. It means so much to know how she's doing while we're apart. We've also noticed great developmental progress since our daughter started. It's clear the team is intentional about supporting growth through age-appropriate activities, interaction, and care. We are so grateful to have found a daycare that treats our daughter like family. I would highly recommend this program to any parent looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their child.

Update: Leadership at Primrose referenced "confidentiality requirements" and "steps already taken,"…read morein their public response to my review (seen below). In the interest of transparency, current and prospective parents should know that those steps included having their attorney at Goodspeed and Merrill send my family a cease‑and‑desist letter threatening a defamation lawsuit in conjunction with a fabricated CPS report if I did not immediately remove my review. The CPS allegations they threatened to file were created by flipping our concerns about the school back onto us; even if those allegations had been true, they still would not constitute child abuse. I'll be attaching the threatening document they sent so families can understand exactly what is going on. My review is based entirely on my firsthand experience. Any parent who wants to understand the situation more fully is welcome to reach out. Original Post: I'm writing this as a parent who keeps receipts- emails, timelines, photos, everything. And based on that documentation, I want other families to know what we experienced here. Our son came home with a bad bruise on his back, yet we heard nothing from the school. When brought to their attention, the school said they documented, but they repeatedly refused to give us the incident report. This wasn't an isolated issue. When our son caught a virus the school had emailed about a week earlier, the owner later denied the presence of the virus -- despite us having the original message. We also discovered missed diaper changes in our son's log that led to a severe diaper rash. From my perspective, this daycare is more focused on protecting its image than being honest with parents or providing consistent care. Please do your homework before enrolling -- ask for policies in writing and trust your instincts.

Everything you hope for in a daycare and more…read more I was raised in rural Midwest, which means two things: my mom stayed home with us, and the entire community looked down on daycare as inferior care for children. I have zero experience with institutionalized care. After quitting my job and staying home with my own children for several years, I returned to work. This daycare is a short walk from my older two's school, which is why I initially looked into it. They pickup from my older kid's elementary school, and offer care on their days off. It's literally everything you could hope for: clean, kind, consistent care for your children. My 2 year old went in speech delayed, but caught up with help from a speech therapist (JeffCo), and the loving supportive staff of Aspen Creek. He sings and is enthusiastic to come to school. For me, the christian education is a positive. One time after months of attending ACA, I lost my patience with my littlest. His look of shock at my loss of control spoke volumes: first, it was crushing for me, and all I needed to never lose it again...but second, it told me he has zero experience with adults losing their cool, or a tempered response. What a relief to know that patience is the norm in his life. The quality, kindness and consistency have made childcare not even a thing I think about...how many working moms can say that?! They are above and beyond any other place I have considered...and honestly, an even better option than an in-home nanny for us (which we tried over the summer) (also, she was great: there is just a reliability here you don't have with a single caretaker).

I am deeply concerned about the poor professionalism and management displayed by Directors and her…read moreassistant .Their behavior creates a negative and chaotic environment that reflects poorly on the childcare facility. There appears to be clear favoritism among children and staff, which is unfair and unacceptable in a professional childcare setting. In addition, the quality of care and supervision is poor, raising concerns about the emotional well-being and treatment of the children. Harassment, unprofessional conduct, and lack of proper leadership should not be tolerated in a place responsible for caring for kids. I am deeply concerned about the childcare environment and the treatment of children at this center. It appears that children of different races and nationalities, including Black and Hispanic children, may be treated unfairly or discriminated against. The facility is also very dirty, has strong unpleasant odors, and does not appear to be cleaned professionally or maintained properly. Many children seem to get sick frequently, which raises serious concerns about sanitation, health, and safety standards. Management and leadership do not seem to take these issues seriously or make necessary improvements for the well-being of the children.

The director Kelly is the best. Communication with her and from her is consistent, timely, and personal. She helped us get our little one enrolled in the middle of a semester without any issues. All of the teachers are wonderful, as well. They are kind and gentle with the kids. They encourage them to explore on their own. And they teach responsibility. We are extremely happy with Ascension Lutheran Extended Day Preschool. I am sure our little one will be a better person in every way for having attended preschool here.

Our daughter has loved it here and you can feel genuine care coming from all the staff to her.

The staff here genuinely chose our daughter's future success over her tuition and lovingly guided us to a better answer from her. I have zero doubt in my mind that our daughter would still succeed at Kiddie Academy. I'm just glad to have found a daycare/preschool that certainly sees a beautiful young child with so much potential over how our pocketbooks could help their bottom line. Ms. Teri, Mr. Ryan, Ms. Mimi, Ms. Ingrid, Ms. Helen, and so many more: our family is forever grateful for you.
