As concerned first-time parents, we embarked on a thorough search for a nurturing and enriching environment for our daughter, and I couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll her in this amazing preschool. From the moment we stepped foot into the facility, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff. The atmosphere exuded a sense of tranquility, fostering a positive and inviting learning environment.

They possess a deep understanding of the Montessori philosophy, which is evident in the tailored and holistic approach they employ in nurturing each child's development. Their passion for education and child development shines through in every interaction. The curriculum at the Shapes of Tomorrow Montessori Preschool is exceptional. It strikes the perfect balance between academics and fostering independent thinking, creativity, and social skills. My daughter flourished under their guidance, developing a genuine love for learning. The Montessori materials and activities are thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. The communication between the school and parents is exemplary. Regular updates, parent-teacher conferences, and informative newsletters kept us well-informed about our child's progress and any upcoming events. The staff is always approachable and takes the time to address any concerns or queries promptly. Safety is of paramount importance at the Shapes of Tomorrow Montessori Preschool. They have implemented robust security measures, ensuring the well-being of all children. I had complete peace of mind, knowing that my daughter was in capable hands at all times. The overall sense of community and inclusiveness at the Shapes of Tomorrow Montessori Preschool is truly remarkable. The school organizes various events, celebrations, and onsite field trips that foster a sense of belonging for both children and parents. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the Shapes of Tomorrow Montessori Preschool to any parent seeking an exceptional preschool experience.

My child's growth and development have exceeded my expectations, and I am immensely grateful for the positive impact they have had on our family.

Our family had a very negative experience with Hope Monastery Academy…read more Our daughter was treated with a lack of respect and professionalism during her time there. Based on what she reported to us, the environment felt unwelcoming and hostile. One staff member became visibly emotional when our daughter was hired, which created an uncomfortable and inappropriate situation. There were also serious concerns about unequal treatment and behavior that appeared discriminatory. Additionally, our daughter shared troubling reports about how some children--particularly students from veteran families--were treated, which raised further concerns about the school's culture and leadership. As parents, we expect any school to uphold basic standards of respect, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. We cannot recommend this school to other families.

We met with Denise and Amanda and we were so impressed with the facility, we signed our kids up right then and there. We love the variety of their education and how they move from classroom to classroom. We love Make Believe Boulevard (an indoor mini city where the kids can use their imagination to play, complete with a slide and ball pit), that Spanish is taught, they do learning bags on Fridays that the kids share an item of what they learned that week and hands down we both love the interactive LEAP Digital board and corresponding LEAP books. The teachers are amazing, very hands on and compassionate. Jelena and Liz in Toddler 2 class, our 2.5 year old absolutely adores. When we first started, we expressed how we wanted our then 2.5 year old potty trained, and within 1 week after attending there, she was. They were so patient and kind with the potty training our daughter took right to it. Corrie in the Pre-K class is so friendly and patient with the kids. Our 5 year old always came home with new songs or ideas she learned from Ms. Corrie. We were so impressed and just love all the staff there: Denise, Amanda, and Samantha at the front are super friendly and do whatever they can to accommodate your family (our youngest is in speech therapy). There are so many great things about this school and the wonderful teachers I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for quality care for your kids.

She can read (at 5!) and we attribute that to her teachers and the curriculum at Primrose without a doubt. Our son is 3 and still says hi to every teacher he's had since he was an infant when he sees them in the halls. I remember how hard it was to pick a school when I was pregnant, thinking about dropping off my tiny baby at 12 weeks old. But Primrose, the teachers and the staff all the way to Ms. Irene who makes them the most delicious snacks and meals, is truly a family. We feel like we have teammates in raising our kids and are so grateful.

Prior to finding The Academy ECE of Westminster, my husband and I had visited at least half a dozen…read moredifferent daycare centers for our toddler, from big to small, from national chains to independently and locally owned and operated. We did not have a good impression of any of them. If they weren't cramped, dark, and musty, then they were stark, cold, and sterile. And then there was The Academy ECE of Westminster. The moment we walked through the door, we knew this place was it: the school exuded a family vibe that was both warm and welcoming. In particular, it felt like a school and not an institution, and that was important to us. We thought our little boy would flourish here and he did---he and his little brother! During our older boy's three years at the school before he started Kindergarten, he had made friends with almost every staff member and teacher, all of whom knew him by name and would stop to chat with him at drop-off and pick-up. Our younger boy (almost-three-nager) is now half way through his second year here. At drop-off, he plays peek-a-boo and hide-n-seek with his teachers. At pick-up, he gives them hugs, high-fives, and fist-bumps before happily skipping down the hall. As parents, what more do we ask for, knowing there are patient, kind, and ever so caring teachers who look after and bond with our children day in and day out? The school staff and teachers here love what they do and it shows. In return, we trust them with our most precious: our children. Management wise, it is worth noting that when we started sending our older boy here in the spring of 2019, the school was still a locally, privately, and independently owned and operated facility. However, since March 2021, it was acquired by a national management entity called Endeavor Schools. To Endeavor Schools' credit, they did successfully retain the school's original feel, that warm and welcoming family vibe that won us over to begin with. Most importantly, they have kept the same staff and teachers, the school's heart and soul in our humble opinion. As parents and as long-time clients, we can only hope that Endeavor Schools will continue to value the dedicated team they have here at The Academy ECE of Westminster. It's the people who make all the difference. Sincerely, Happy parents.

We just hit one and a half years here, so I thought I'd write a review to counter the extremely…read morenegative (albeit old) experience someone had. That doesn't sound like our experience at all. We moved to the area in August 2017 and toured three local daycares. The first we toured was more expensive, and classrooms had a very rigid curriculum where I felt like my son would be living under quarantine. The second was cheap but felt more like Lord of the Flies - total chaos, I was exhausted after being there for 15 minutes. Academy ECE hit a good balance in the middle - a good daily schedule but with plenty of free play time while moving between a classroom, the gym, the computer room, a moving space, and an outdoor playground. Staff seemed very friendly, classrooms looked fun but organized, so we enrolled. Fast forward to now - we're very happy with our choice. My son has a lot of friends in class, he brings home artwork, alphabet worksheets, and stories about his friends every day. We're attending birthday parties with other parents every other weekend. He's learning a lot. He participates in some really cool activities while at school (piano lessons, soccer buddies, art, and dance) which really takes a burden off of us for having to arrange those things outside of our daily 9-5, so our evenings can be free to hang out with him and have fun. When I drop him off every morning, his friends are yelling his name and greeting him with hugs at the door, it's great. He's happy and we're happy. I'm sorry another Yelper had such a negative experience, but ask yourself - if someone else's child has behavioral issues around your child, do you want it ignored? Or do you want a school who will work on it, contact the parents, use a process to address the issues? I feel like my son is safe, having fun, and learning here, and that's what is important to me.

The teachers communicate via the app what they are learning for the day, as well as photos to show us how they are doing with their activities. The teachers are involved, know my son, and show me that they adore him. We are extremely happy with the toddler room. It should be noted that there has been a change in the director at this Bright Horizons, and it has been for the better. There is increased effort for more communication, and the new director seems to be very involved in the day to day activities of each class. We could not be happier with how this center is being run right now, with a lot of improvements recently. Finally, the facilities are very nice. My son absolutely loves the gym. I would recommend this center to anyone looking for a solid daycare.

We started our daughter at GHM when she was about 2.5 years old. We've been at the school for about…read more6 months now and have had an absolutely amazing experience. 1) we love the staff -- both the administrators and the teachers. Ms. Kayla has been particularly amazing. She has been with our daughter in the explorer classroom since we started and has been a true partner to us in our child's development. If we ever are having a challenge at home, we know we can bring it to the teachers at GHM and they'll help reinforce our parenting efforts in the classroom as well. The administrative team is hands on (yay for Jesse, Alyscia, and Jessica!) and so welcoming and kind. I regularly see them in classroom and getting g involved with the kids and as teacher support. Love to see it. 2) GHM strives to foster community amongst parents and families at the school. There are dad's nights, mom's nights, family barbecues and more! I have had the chance to get to know most of the parents of the kids in my daughter's classroom, which is awesome. 3) Parent teacher conferences are regularly scheduled and the staff comes prepared with detailed notes on your child's development and milestones. You can really have a collaborative discussion about your child and their needs! It felt really lovely to hear their perspective because they were so detailed and thoughtful in their assessment. 4) Look, all schools are dealing with staffing shortages, but we have had far less of an issue with this at GHM than we did at our last school. Our daughters teachers have been very consistent and in the event of staff turnover, Jesse, Alyscia and Jessica will do everything in their power to keep the school open - we've never had a school closure due to short staffing -- at our last school this was a regular occurrence. 5) We love that the school takes care of breakfast, lunch and snacks for the kids! Balanced meals, and such a relief to not have to do this at home every night. Helps free up the time we have at home with our daughter for play and connection! End of the day, this is the best possible school for our family. Highly recommend to other parents. Feel so lucky that we found it.

Beware. I have complained to the owner, Jesse about the care…read moreof my son till I'm blue in the face. The neglect of my son not being given water or having sun block put on him by the director of the center while she was in preschool filling in for the lack of consistent teachers and chaos in preschool as is.. Coming home with his underwear having serious skid marks from the teachers not caring for his proper hygene, to his paints and underwear being backwards and shoes on the wrong feet. When I tried to tell the teacher she raised her voice to talk over me and interrupt me to tell me " Well he did that" before I was able to voice my other concerns, veing please wipe his butt better next time and clothes on properly. I thought teachers are supposed to teach the kids how to do things the right way and stand for GHM own "Morals and standards" what a joke. He hires woman is mini shirts and people who have no experience becaude he is desperate for the fill in. No wonder with the way he treats and represents people internally. It looks sparkly on the outside until you get your child in and your family in then you realize it is nothing but terrible communication, an owner out for money and a director who doesnt support her teachers or get out of her chair. Then I got a phone call, not the decency of a face to face conversation by the owner Jesse being told I screamed in the classroom, an over reaction, he nor his teachers cared to listen to my concerns. This is just one exampke of many. There is a new teacher there every week and they don't last for for then a couple weeks if that. I have called state and jeffco for child neglect a few weeks ago and will do so again. The countless teachers that come through this center is unreal. Eight teachers I counted in April and the list goes on. Your child will not have consistent teachers or care. Preschool is out of control as I have had a sub teacher tell me how the director thinks that yelling and screaming gets 3 years to listen and they feel inadiquite and uncomfortable there because they feel it a lost cause. If you want true care for your child and genuine "Vetran Buisness owners" who care about the true well being, BEWARE. Take your money elsewhere as you will be highly disappointed. This is definitely not a diamond in the rough. Ashes to ashes. P.S. Jesse from a Marine to a Marine, we have corps values. Honor, Courage and Commitment. Where is your honor. I sure don't see it. The only thing you honor a dollor sign.. Your commitment... Your sure not committed to the children and how they are being taking care. Courage, where is your integrity?
