That said, I feel so incredibly blessed knowing that while I'm away, my daughter is in the hands of people who truly love and nurture her. The teachers at A Child's Touch have played such a vital role in her development--they've been like a second family, helping raise her with patience, warmth, and care. While my daughter is naturally a happy girl, I know that her daily happiness is in no small part thanks to the incredible environment created at the school. She starts her day excited and comes home just as cheerful. It amazes me to see how much she has learned--counting to ten, reciting the alphabet, singing tons of full songs--and I know these milestones are a direct reflection of the amazing teaching and support she receives from the staff. In addition to all my daughter's teachers, every staff member I have spoken to or worked with has been beyond helpful. ACT has a fantastic group of employees.

They do charge a lot and close by 5:30pm which is impossible for most working parents. They charge $30 if you arrive at 5:31 so be prepared! Unfortunately there are two staff members who should not teach children who act like they have miserable lives. They were my child's teachers and every single day no smiles, not happy and not communicative to parents. My child loved her first year here, didn't struggle with goodbyes until she moved into this classroom and she would not want me to leave, one of the teachers walked up and grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her to the other side of the classroom telling her it's time to be at school and made her cry even more. If I could have missed work that day I would have. I do not feel children are safe in that classroom. He never once getting down on her level to try to make her feel comfortable or offer any sort of empathy. She told me she was scared to go every day. My last straw was when my child told me that another kid followed them into the bathroom and touched their private parts. They told the teacher and not only did I NOT get a call from the teachers, and NOT get an an incident report, they told me my child made it up. The office staff was absolutely useless, first claiming to "investigate" which just meant I had to follow up with them for any answer. They said it never happened. One of my child's teachers told my child in front of me that they made it up and that never happened. I had to demand my child was switched to another class room. I do not recommend. My child is still upset about getting touched inappropriately and I hate that it was met with absolutely no support.

However, one staff person is why their review is lowered in my mind, and I have to do right by parents by adding my two cents. I'm not going to write out any details because you can see them on Colorado Shines. Parents: before you choose a daycare, look at Colorado Shines, get to know ALL teachers, and TRUST YOUR GUT about anyone who gives off red flags. I now feel like this is a good center and can certainly vouch for my son's other wonderful teachers. But this bad apple should have been fired LONG before things got so bad.

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? :)

After touring the school, we believed it would be an excellent fit for our family. We were informed…read moreby David (owner of the franchise location) that the waiting list would be approximately six months. Eagerly, we paid the $150 deposit and looked forward to enrolling our children. However, 12 months later, there was no progress on the waiting list, and we were still told we were "about six months out." At this rate, our kids will be in high school before they're admitted We connected with other local families who shared similar experiences and assumed the school was simply overwhelmed. However, we discovered one family, who happened to be friends with David, and they experienced virtually no wait time to enroll their 3-year-old in the school. Regrettably, we lost our $150 deposit and decided to move on. One point to consider is that the owners, Allison and David, had no early childhood education experience prior to opening this franchise location. On the surface, it appears they run the school more like a business than a service to the community. Think twice before handing over your $150 deposit.

I cannot speak highly enough of the teachers, directors, and curriculum. They are kind, welcoming, and loving towards our children, and I've felt comfortable and confident leaving the kids in their care since day one at the school. My kids are growing and learning so much at Goddard and they are always smiling at the end of the day, and the staff is fantastic with communicating details about their days through the Tadpoles app, as well as through biannual parent teacher conferences and ad hoc conversations at pickup and dropoff. I really feel like they are on a team with me looking out for my kids' learning, safety and happiness!

As a working mom, I really appreciate that my kids have breakfast, lunch and snacks provided throughout the day. Would recommend the AELC to anyone! It is one of the best childcare centers in Denver!

Our kiddo is excited to go each morning and comes home happy, confident, and always smiling which we didn't have at our previous center. The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully set up for learning and play. Our kid has allergies and they are on top of it all and ensure he is safe at every possible minute he is there. The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and we love how much emphasis they place on social skills, creativity, and emotional development--not just babysitting, but real growth. Communication with parents is excellent. We always feel informed, reassured, and included, which makes such a difference as a parent. It gives us total peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable, loving hands. Choosing a daycare was hard and Primrose was one of the best decisions we've made for our family. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do and would recommend this daycare without hesitation to anyone looking for a nurturing, high-quality place for their child.

She truly gets young children, in a way I have not seen before in a day care center. I have seen Kathy and her staff respond to toy stealing, tantrums, hitting, and other normal behaviors of young children with immense patience and gentleness. Kathy and her staff truly seek to understand and come alongside children, not boss them around or control them. The kids spend a large portion of the day outside, in this beautiful fenced-in property in a safe and vibrant neighborhood. It is tranquil and calm both inside and outside Sunflower Hill. My son enjoys daily circle time, songs and books, and crafts (they even bake bread and plant flowers with the kids). "Squirrel Nutkin" comes alive from the book they read, and munches on sunflower seeds outside the center. We have attended a few of Sunflower Hill's festivals, which are a great opportunity to meet parents and watch your kids thrive together. The lantern festival was a time to pause and reflect on the darkening of the seasons, and how the light is inside each of us. The kids each made a lantern and we walked around outside singing songs. It truly is as magical as it sounds. Kathy and her staff have a holistic approach to childcare, which isn't what all families are looking for. The "curriculum" is not structured or rigid, like many schools are. Each family should choose what works best for their child, and Waldorf isn't a good fit for everyone. Kathy provides flexibility in choosing days of the week, and the opportunity to re-arrange your days if needed. We looked at several child care centers in Denver, and Sunflower Hill has very reasonable pricing. They are open long hours, and it is a very convenient pick for working parents. Also, the center is housed on a sleepy neighborhood street without traffic, so you don't have to fight to find a parking spot. Pickup and dropoff are always easy. When we started at Sunflower Hill, Kathy would send us photos of our son and encouraging notes about how he was acclimating to the group. Kathy always texts me if our son is hurt (a self-inflicted scratch while playing with sticks, and a toy sharing incident that turned into hitting), and sends us photos of him with an update. I am so impressed by this attention to my child's safety, and trust Kathy immensely. Kathy has asked for feedback from parents in several of her weekly emails, and shows genuine humility and a desire to continue changing and adapting as needed. Though I don't pretend to know half as much about raising young children as Kathy, I wouldn't hesitate to speak to her if I had any concerns. The staff are fantastic, our son especially loves Warren who sings cowboy songs to him and is so attentive to his language development. We are overjoyed that our son is blossoming here. He comes home from school each day chatting about his friends, and has started pretend play at just over 2 years old, which speaks to how healthy and supportive this center is for his imagination.
