this place is NOT good, they treat the employees like crap, don't take care of the kids in a professional way, doesn't care about anyone only cares about the money. The owners and assistants are rude and not professional at all. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

This is my favorite daycare around for my grandson. Not only does he learn things in his age appropriate classes, they also have sports, as well as, a professional photographer that comes in and does school photos and class photos. They also have days where they will do family photos, and in the case of divorced or never married people, you come in on different days to be photographed with your child. They have parties and a secure entry and cameras in the rooms so you can peek in at any time. I give it five stars and they are reasonably priced! read more

HORRIBLE!! They Never have consistent staff with the little kids and they are NOT nice to the children in the turtles class I had requested to see a video of my own son since I had concerns about how he was being taken care of and the tape cut out 2 minutes before the incident and the main lady says it was because there wasn't any movement when the teacher my son and another little girl was in the classroom all walking and in the process I saw a staff member being rough and mean to another little boy and the main lady in the office had lied about seeing the tape then when I mentioned how the baby boy was being treated she said it was for a diaper change so she had seen it and she thinks that it is okay while the lady is picking the boy up with the collar of his shirt and yanking him! This is the little People's landing on avondale ave in Fort Collins Colorado They are a beautiful looking daycare and when you first meet the staff they seem nice and talk really sweet but don't be mistaken there are a shady company and your young children don't deserve to be treated poorly!!!! I would not recommend any child going here the staff suck for the younger children and the management sucks since there liars and think mistreating children is okay read more

My daughter loves Little People's Landing. The teachers are very friendly. Every time we walk in we are greeted by all of the teachers and when we leave everyone tells us to have a good day. The kids get to do so many activities....even the smaller kids get to go on close field trips. They get to play outside as much as possible and make so many art projects. My daughter looks forward to school everyday. I am so glad that we chose to take her here. The facility is clean and the teachers are great. I would recommend this school! read more

Walked in for an interview and found the Director professional and very kind. She laughed during the interview woo hoo? A Director with a personality that is pleasant. May not get the job but found the teachers to be relaxed and doing their jobs!!! What an awesome place to work. Not an uptight Goddard daycare where ya felt tied in knots and the children feel that tension. A teacher had all the tods sleeping and one awake who she smiled at and said lay down for a little bit OK? The child smiled and laid down. I walked into another room and the teacher said, "hi". No One uptight here. Does Goddard realize that if you are uptight so are the kids? Way to go Little People's Landing read more

Apparently corporate greed trickles down into the childcare industry. LPL likes to continuously raise their tuition rates (EVERY YEAR). They claim it is so they can "pay their teachers/staff more", but I highly doubt that happens because the staff turnaround with will give you whiplash. I am so thankful that my child is starting kindergarten and will no longer have to deal with the insane inconsistency this organization provides. The director of the facility we have been a member of for 2 years is resigning; she is the ONLY reason we have stuck it out with this place...we trust HER. Now that she is leaving (don't blame her), I am beyond thankful that it is a matter of weeks before my kid moves to public school and we do not have to daycare shop...there is no way we would have stayed with LPL any longer. They do not have cameras in the classrooms, and once your child moves up to the preschool classroom, good luck getting any kind of progress report, pictures, information...anything really. I am sure that this has to do with staffing issues, but it is frustrating to have so little communication when it comes to your child. Maybe they should pay their staff a little more and they will get better quality work and less turnaround...Do NOT recommend this place. read more

My son (7years old) used to go to this dump er I mean care center. Up until he was booted because (mind you single father of three here) I wasn't getting the precious 77 dollar tuition in each Monday. No. I paid faithfully every Thursday (when I get paid. Funny concept). So WHERE else do I begin with this 'day care'? Oh I know, first off, it's a dump. The teachers are treated like crap. And paid like such, just to show their 'worth'. I received threatening letters each week to 'remind me' that tuition was due. It could never be face to face. Or a phone call. Maybe because They had my incorrect cell number down so I never received any of their calls. My son was screamed at, upset each day about having to go to LPL because Ms. So-and-so is mean to him. Or they yell at me. Hmmm. The classes are WAY over the state regulation ratios of teacher to students. But that doesn't seem to matter to them. Countless fire hazards and out-of-date life safety equipment (I would know. I'm licensed through the fire department) The director is rude, indirect, and selfish. So is the owners whom have told my girlfriend and I both (both our kids go there) when questioning practice, or tuition. Or really anything, 'pull them out then. We don't care' lovely isn't it?? Now, you may be thinking, maybe he's salty? Maybe he's just mad cause he got kicked out? Maybe. But, maybe not. It's the principle of the issues at hand. One in which they do not in the slightest seem to care about. Instead of a can-do attitude. It's 'can do. Won't do. We will get the money from someone else' kinda attitude. Save your sanity. Your money. And possibly your kids from demoralizing behavior. That is unless, you don't care how they're treated. Good luck with this one. read more

Very friendly people, very informal. My toddler loves it. I visited some places that looked too sterile, this one is fun!I would like them to have at least some organic food, but, again, no one I visited does. read more

Wow is all I have to say!! I went in for a tour today and the only nice thing about this place was the director. It smelled like dirty diapers the minute you walked in, the teachers were very unfriendly and just had this look on their face like "oh great here we go another kid" the classrooms were a mess, there was no structure and I found myself wanting to leave the minute I walked in. There is no way that I would enroll my daughter into this school and if state were to ever do a check I wouldn't be surprised if they got shut down!! Do not recommend this school to any parent looking for their children to be at!! read more

My daughter has been at this daycare for a few months. I had a horrible experience at kiddie land in arvada off of ward and had to pull her out immediately. The day I walked into this LPL, I felt so good about the daycare. I really like that there are camera throughout the center. The director and directors assistance are sweet, sincere and professional. They truly are caring individuals. I have had very good interactions with the staff in the infant and toddler rooms. I think the teachers do a fabulous job. There is one young lady in the older children's room that seems to be short tempered with the children sometimes, but I do not know who she is. I've also walked in when she was singing and interactive with the children....so I would not base the handful of times I breifly saw her in passing. She is the only reason I give 4 stars. This facility is amazing and I recommend to all family. *******BEST DAYCaRE in the area!!!!!!************** My daughter is excelling and I really think its because of the interaction she has with caregivers and the students. The rooms are clean. Food options are good. Security is great. Curriculum is great. All the teachers that I have had interactions with are amazing. Check it out. read more

The LPL Arvada staff are always so polite and genuinely show care for not only the children but we as parents too. Always a smile on their face and the updates we receive on their mobile app throughout the day are appreciative as a parent and let us know exactly what our daughter has been up to, making it feel as though we are there with her in a sense. Our daughter's teacher Miss Hannah is always so wonderful and encouraging towards all the kids in her classroom. She knows many of our daughters favorite things, quirks and personality traits. We really appreciate her and Kendra the Director there as well. Always taking time to make sure we are informed parents of anything that is going on at that location or otherwise. We love Arvada LPL! - Rachel G. read more

Do not put a deposit down unless you are sure you are going to need childcare here. I can't speak to the quality of care provided, but I paid $100.00 to have an infant spot held for me. I ended up not getting the job I interviewed for, and I let the facility manager know I wouldn't need care during the time frame that I had planned. I asked her if I could get my deposit back and she told me that they keep it to ensure my child has a spot in the future. Weird policy I thought, but okay. Fast forward to now, (which I completely understand is six months later) and I have secured employment. I was told the next opening they have available is in 9 months. So what was my $100.00 deposit for if it didn't hold anything? The woman on the phone said, "well since we didn't hear from you we booked your spot." This is not true at all. I spoke with the previous facility manager (Kendra) almost every day for two weeks while I waited for an offer. I was assured that my deposit could be used when I found employment. I know they have a new manager now, but what a mess. If this is how they do business here I'm happy to find something else. read more

My 18 months old son has been attending LPL since he was 11 weeks old. While still on maternity leave, I visited some centers that I left in tears thinking I would never find some place safe for my child. From my very first phone call to LPL, I knew this was the place for my child. The director and the assistant director are both amazing women. The teachers in the infant and toddler rooms are amazing. I know that they love my son and take wonderful care of him. Every morning, when I drop him off, he runs into the arms of his teachers. There is no better feeling than knowing your child is well taken care of and loved when you have to leave him every morning to go to work. These folks are truly a gift! read more

I have had my child at this center for a year now and I could not be more pleased. The director is kind, attentive and very communicative. My child's teachers are caring and put together meaningful development activities. In my mind, a great daycare is worth it's weight in gold, since they are caring for my most valuable treasure! I would recommend this daycare wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a great home away from home for their child. read more

I have had problem after problem with this childcare center. No communication between teachers. I have no idea what my child does daily and or even weekly. The vice director is awful. They have damaged my child's property and no one want to take credit for it and no solution to fix it. Everything mentioned to the director seems like you are getting somewhere and nothing ever comes of it. The director and vice director have very different policies they follow. I can ask one and get an answer and ask the other the same thing and get a different answer. read more

I am a mom of a 12 month old. My child has been going to LPL since she was 3 months old. Being a new mom I was scared to death to leave her at a daycare so I did my due diligence to find one that "felt" good to me. My gut was right about LPL. The staff is very friendly and I feel like she is learning so much. I do get daily reports on what my child has eaten, when she has napped, pooped & what she played with. They have taught her some sign language and help me introduce her to new foods as she moved to solids. They are around more children than I have ever been around so they notice little things that being a new mom I did not know. They give tips on things to help make her feel better like baking soda baths for diaper rash! (yes they work!) I have just really appreciated the time they have invested in my child because unfortunately I can't be there I have to work. It sounds like things have changed since that other review in 2009 because I have had a different experience. read more

Parents please beware, this is not the day care for your children! My child was in the toddler class, and we did not receive the proper care for our little one. I can say this is the coldest uncaring daycare I have ever seen. They are the daycare on 78th and Sheridan in Westminster. My child came home with pooped diapers and the worst diaper rash ever. They don't wash their hands or faces in all day and are sitting ther eating snacks and lunched with dirty hands, Not once did I see the my childs class served a drink with there meal and the children there are not properly cared for. My childs has had so many unexplained and unreported injuries here(scratches, bruises and bullying of other kids. This staff could use a few classes in customer service and a few child devolp. classes. When a parent don't get a warm friendly greeting then it makes you wonder how your child is being treated here also. read more

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW. Written by a previous Child Protective Services Worker. My daughter attended this facility for 3 days and we couldn't get her out of there soon enough. She was only 8 weeks old and I thought I picked a reputable place considering my background is in social work. I wrote out instructions, what works to soothe, what doesn't work...etc. It was completely ignored. I informed them she eats 4 ounces a day, they fed 2 at each feed and they responded with "oh, we will do better tomorrow." What?! My child missed several feeds that day. That can't happen. I asked them how long they try and feed her "about 10 minutes" they tell me. When I picked her up, she was always fussy, tired, and looked worn out. I made a "surprise" visit in the afternoon, finding my child in a bouncy seat, sleeping, unstrapped and they tell me "oh, I think he just fell asleep." I don't think so. When I would call and check up on her they would tell me "oh she is doing great!" I said, "oh, is she sleeping and eating better." They responded "nope, haven't slept all day." WHAT? Then how is she doing "great?" THE WORST OF IT....they fed my breastmilk to another child. They told me "sorry, but another child had access to the bottle and gave it to another child." My child had no milk for the afternoon because they forgot to tell me they were out of breast milk the day before. When I showed up to pick up my child, there were no apologies or any explaination. I tried talking to the director and she said "well, I wasn't there so I don't know what to tell you." I wanted to pull her out of there after day two, but couldn't arrange anything quick enough so unfortunately my poor baby had to attend three awful days there. The workers seem sweet and kind but they are not competent in the infant room. Worst experience a mother had to go through, not to mention what my poor baby went through. We are now at a different daycare and after ONE DAY I can tell such a difference in my baby. Happy, content, no more red eyes and comes home with a clean, dry diaper EVERY TIME! read more

We've been at LPL Arvada for 6 years - every teacher knows every child in the school, when you walk in everyone says "Good morning!" to the kids and the same when you leave for the day. We love Ms. Mindy, Ms. Danni, Ms. Natalie, Ms. Hannah, Ms. Sam, Ms. Kristin and so many more - they take great care of our kids and teach them so much! Ms. Kendra is a great new director. We're very happy here. read more

I love LPL! It's always packed and all the kids are very happy. They do picture days and haircuts and circus trips, etc. I have the app, so I can see what my toddler does all day, which is super fun. I think parents are too busy to write good reviews, but we love it. New management just took over, so also organization is also better lately. read more

Do not take your kids there. The teachers don't care about the children. When outside the teachers are all in one spot talking and watching the children. The class rooms are always out of ratio. I have seen teacher pick the kids up by the arms and nothing is done to the teacher. Teachers are all ways yelling at the kids. The kids are always out of control. You can fine a better place then this. If a parent is looking in the teachers know and are nice to the kids and put on a act. read more

My four year old is showing signs of emotional and verbal abuse. I have never written a review online before but I want to make sure parents are warned so no other child has to go through this. First off, they set your child up for failure. They have a "thermometer" type system where your kids name is on a clip and goes on whatever behavior they were for the day the top is best of course and bottom is lowest. They actually start the kids in the middle of this thermometer. This means when your kid walks in the door to start his or her day they already are telling them they arent "good." The assistant director is so cold I can't believe she even wants to work with children. We only had our four year old son in this center for four weeks. Due to the change and his ADHD he was having some behavioral issues. Instead of talking to me as a parent and figuring out a behavior plan (like educated adults would do) they instead wrote him up for every tiny thing a little boy does on a normal basis and exaggurated like crazy. My son was constantly coming home saying things that he wouldn't of learned anywhere else. A week after I told them he has ADHD and to be patient with the change he came home to tell me that he's not "normal." When you walk in and ask about your childs day you have no idea which teacher he was with because they all just throw them in there and deal with it. They send you a calendar home to make it look structured but when you ask your kid if he did learn about what was on the calendar it's not the case. The teachers are young and have no knowledge in children at all, it's like sending them to a 13 year old babysitter day after day. What gets you, and as a parent makes you think it's a good place is how structured and nice it looks. You feel like it's clean, they have field trips, calendars of events, nights where they will watch your child and they list themselves as an "Academy." Just because they have money to spend and a nice security system obviously doesn't mean it's a safe environment for your child. You will feel like you have no idea what's going on. One of the teachers when we got there was from my son's old daycare that he had just left. She was there shortly, quit, went to a different daycare, came back to our old one and now is at Little Peoples Landing. This was all within a few months. That shows you how the staff are. One of the women on a day that I picked my son up secretly told me that "she doesn't know why he has these issues with the other staff because she doesn't have them." This is just showing that the staff talk behind eachothers backs as well. We're starting to find signs of possible abuse after leaving the center. He's saying things about himself and how bad he feels about himself and is even wetting himself which he has NEVER done. I really hope all parents take this review seriously. This place is completely nuts. Do not take your children here. read more
