I also love that our son gets plenty of outdoor and indoor playtime, as well as creative play. Lydia has also been introducing some fun extra-curricular activities such as a music group, with instructor; yoga; science time, with instructor; and soon we'll have gymnastics instruction as well! This is all in a home environment too which adds to our son feeling safe and welcomed, and part of the ESTEMI family!

This is one of the cleanest Childcare centers in the city. My kids have attended this center and…read morenow my grandkids attend. I don't know what the negative reviews are about, but they are very adamant about caring for the child keeping the children clean and keeping the teacher child ratio at the exact requirements. They also provide food and the entire facilities always maintained and well taken care of. So whoever is giving negative reviews, I wonder if they really gave this place a chance. About the missing item review, do you know the items parents bring are left in the child's cubby for the entire week? Had you asked for the items back I'm sure they would have been returned to you had the center known you weren't returning, I don't know about ya'll but I've had the best experience so far.

My daughter went here for preschool during my ex wife's parenting time. I visited my daughter…read moremaybe 2 or 3 times total and for two of those times I brought donuts for the entire staff. I had a custody case in which one of their teachers was interviewed. This teacher, Zanaya Garrett Piazza made the following statements about me to the Child Family Investigator Amy Peterson (who was also very biased against me): "[Father] was totally opposite -- standoffish and brash, our rule is if you come in, introduce yourself to the children (they're trying to teach stranger danger). He did not let anyone know he was coming and then it was a little wierd for [daughter] . She would be active, super happy, and playful, then her dad would come in and bring doughnuts for Inaya to pick from but not anyone else". First off I brought donuts for the entire staff- NOT the kids. If you are teaching stranger danger to kids, the first rule is not taking candy from strangers. I am a very friendly person, thats one quality everyone who meets me says about me. This is a total fabrication and a slander against me. "Then he started sitting outside the gate, parking nearby, walking up to the school and staring. It gave some people anxiety because if someone didn't know he was a student's dad, they would have been concerned. Shortly after that she hired a para and she knew his native tongue, and he flirted with her in front of the students. She had asked that he only go to La Petite on days that he would pick up or drop off [daughter]. He became rude and did not care." NONE of this happened. The basic proof here is that I never dropped my daughter to this pre-school or picked her from there because she was not enrolled on my parenting time! She was enrolled at Crescent View Academy-- a much better school. "He would ask [daughter] "oh you're going with mommy's friend? Who is mommy's friend? She has worked with children a while and you can tell by the child's body language -- they shift away when a parent asks them about another parent. She would look at her like ' can you help me Ms. Z.? Ms. Z would try to engage her to come along but she was on his lap and he put pressure on her lap so she couldn't get up" I mean what telenovela is this? Was I having all these convos with a 3.5 year old child in front of the teacher? "At first she wass really excited to be at school and hang out with her peers, and then when she started going back and forth she filt like the confusion kicked in. And I know in their culture you're supposed to take a water cup to the bathroom. But at La Petite Academy they support them going to the bathroom whenver they need to. Father wanted to make sure [daughter] did that--but she had 30 other kids. And [daughter] was too young to know about their cultural beliefs and to know that she needed to bring a water bottle to the bathroom when it caused problems with the other kids." This is the real reason this bigot lied. she is a racist. And she has helped my rights to my own child get stolen from me based on these disgusting lies. Avoid this business at all costs, especially if you are a minority and a Muslim. Ms. Z herself is black, I do not understand where this bigotry comes from. This place should be out of business. The blatant lies told about me can be told about YOU and it can destroy your life. Especially if you are in the large Muslim community here, please avoid this place they are very Islamophobic.

We absolutely love 'La Petite Ecole'!!!…read more Patricia, the owner and educator, is incredible. This is our first year with La Petite Ecole, and Rebeca adores it. Here are just a few reasons why: Patricia's Character: She embodies kindness, love, patience, creativity, brilliance, organization, and thoughtfulness. Her positive impact on the children is immeasurable. Comprehensive Education: She teaches the children a wide array of skills--from calmly listening to stories and sharing toys, to cooking, gardening, cycling, drawing, painting, counting, reading, singing, and dancing. Thematic Learning: Every week brings a new theme for activities, keeping the learning experience fresh and engaging. Structured Daily Routine: Patricia ensures each day is well-organized, instilling good habits in the children such as taking naps at consistent times and eating together at the table. Parental Involvement: Through ClassDojo, parents receive daily updates with photos showcasing their children's progress and fun moments. Educational Field Trips: With the help of a few parents, Patricia organizes field trips to places like zoos, museums, parks, pumpkin patches, butterfly pavilions, and farms, enriching the children's learning experience outside the classroom. Every morning when I drop off Rebeca, I am confident she's in the best hands.

Our son will take her spot in September so we will still be a part of it for another 3 years! I am grateful everyday to have found Patricia and to have placed our daughter in such a loving learning environment! They do SO much everyday: music, crafts, circle time, vocabulary, counting, walks in nature, field trips and on top of that they are fed delicious homemade meals for breakfast, snacks and lunch every single day! I can't recommend La Petite Ecole enough! Thank you Patricia for running the best preschool in the state of Colorado!

So there are a lot of contributing factors that go into making a great school or daycare. Good…read morelesson plans, nice aesthetic feel, parent participation, structured daily activities, the list goes on and on. But you know, the most important thing in any school is the staff! I have had the most wonderful experience with the teachers and caregivers at All Nations, along with all the other things that enable me to give this school 5 stars! We are recent Colorado transplants from the Bay Area, and I have been a stay at home mommy for the last 2 years with our 4 year old son, and our 19 month old daughter. When it was time to go back to work, I was concerned. We're far from our family and support network, and needed the availability of an actual school vs. in-home care. I started looking around, and was disappointed and discouraged with what I was finding. Some schools were quite affordable, but when I went inside, I saw why! One smelled like babypowder perfume and was dark and dingy. Another had the kids watching TV. Yet another had staff with accents so thick that I had a hard time understanding them, let alone my daughter who's just learning to speak. On the other end of the spectrum were schools that I couldn't begin to afford. One school that looked all right wanted $300 a week for my daughter and $225 for my son! Why even work if almost everything I earn would go to childcare?!! Then I stumbled across All Nations while I was on a walk with the kids. I just dropped in unannounced and asked Kathy, the director if I could take a peek. She was very friendly and accommmodating. She took us on a mini tour of the preschool room and the toddler room. She explained that they watch infants through school age kiddos, and have afterschool and summer programs, too. There were pictures of kids and staff having fun on the walls, and art projects were displayed everywhere. The classes looked organized, and the kids looked engaged and interested. The teachers were on the floor with the kids and speaking to them on their level. Everyone looked well kept and happy. Kathy gave me some info on the school, including the month's lesson plan. It was well thought out, mixing the curriculum with seasonal themes and holiday activities. Then I saw the price sheet. Totally reasonable! In fact, it compared pricewise with some of the icky schools I had seen. "What's the catch?" I was thinking as I left. On the way out my kids had a fit at the idea that we might be leaving without them getting to play on the wonderful playstructure in the yard. Kathy said the kids were welcome to play for a minute or two, and so we did. While I was sitting outside with them, another mother walked by with her 2 year old son, and asked if we were here observing. When I confirmed that we were, she proceded to give me the most glowing reccommendation for All Nations! She said that she and her 2 kids love it there, and when she stopped working, she kept her kids enrolled part time because they so enjoyed it. She commented on the awesome staff, the adorable crafts they came home with, and the songs they kept learning. I was impressed. So I enrolled my kids and had them start a couple of weeks before I was to start my new job. I knew that they were going to be exposed to a whole new strain of Colorado cooties that they had no immunities to yet, and wanted them to get sick while I was still home to care for them. Two weeks rolled by and no germs in sight. My son did have a hard time adjusting to me leaving him in the mornings, and would cry as I left. The staff was always gentle and patient with him, hugging him and reminding him that Mommy would always come back to get him. My daughter took to school like a fish to water, and would say, "Yay! I love school!" as we were heading there in the mornings. As my son made friends, it got easier for him, and after the end of the day he would say, "That was fun!" Every day when I picked the kids up, the toddler teacher Desiree would hand me a sheet of paper with a report of what and how my daughter did that day. What she ate, when she napped, how many diaper changes she had, what she played with. It really helped me see what her day consisted of, being that she can't exactly tell me yet. Long story short, once I started work, my kids got sick one after another. I missed 2 1/2 days out of 9, and was going to have to miss the 10th, too. As I was picking up my sick girl, at my wits end, about to go interview strangers on CARE.COM to watch my babies, Kathy stopped me. She said her daughter (who works at All Nations sometimes) would come home with me and watch my daughter so I could go back to work that day. Then she gave another employee the next day off and asked her if she would sit for us instead. I was stunned. Then I started to cry with gratitude and relief. It was actually Kathy's birthday that day, but she was the one who gave me the greatest gift ever.I cannot say enough about my experience here

Needs training and accommodating culture on any developmental delays. Director gives impression…read morethey just did not want to deal with kiddos that are a little behind developmentally. Wanted me to jump through hoops to prove my child could be in center because my child was almost 3 and not potty trained yet. Gave me excuse about the 3 yr old room doesn't have a changing station. Really ....you can't walk a child to another room to change them, especially since you move them room to room depending on staff availability. No other centers I called seemed to have a problem with any developmental delays and were more than accommodating. I also called to meet with director and was told to come in so she can see my child interact with other kids. I raced over there and the director was rude and told me she could not meet since she was being audited by the state and when I told her I called ahead of time, she wanted to know who I spoke to. She turned to the assistant director, who then proceeded to lie to the director and myself that I never called. Very uncomfortable situation which made me feel not a place if the leaders lie to the parents and the director. Parking is horrible as well. Employees smoke in the front where the kiddos can see and there really is no security, I have walked in numerous times where there was no staff at the front (since they were out smoking) and walked right back to where I needed to go
