They do a beautiful job meeting each child where they're at, and tailoring the preschool experience to each student's needs and interests. Every time I am there, I see classrooms full of joy, imagination and creativity. It really is a magical place! Our family has also really enjoyed the co-op model, where parents are an active part of the school community. We have built strong relationships with other families and school staff in a way that just doesn't happen at other schools.

One of the very few schools that not only understands what it takes to create a successful and…read morepositive early childhood education experience, but demonstrates it in everything that they do here. My 4 year old is THRIVING here. He WANTS to go to school, even on days that he doesn't have school. (This was not the case last year at a different preschool.) As an educator, experienced in early childhood and elementary schools, I have been impressed with this school from the moment I first read about their philosophy on their website, to touring the school and seeing it in-person, to now having my child go to this school and seeing the positive impact that it is making on him and nurturing his love for learning and play. Not only have I been an educator for over 12 years, but I also wrote my Master's degree thesis on the importance of play. For those that want to learn more about why play is so important for children, check out the books: Einstein Never Used Flash Cards and Last Child in the Woods. To then have a child 4 years after writing my thesis and 4 years after that, find a school that actually understands, embraces, and models this essential part of childhood is so gratifying. My son especially loves when it is our "helping day" in the classroom and I love it too. I get to be a part of his learning, curiosity, and observe how he interacts with others and the world around him... this is so important to his growth and development in knowing how to best support and guide my child at home. "Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity." ~Kay Redfield Jamison

It's hard to describe the difference in our son's attitude to school, to learning, and just about…read moreeverything else since starting at September School. He's now learning Spanish at an AP level where he once floundered in incomplete assignments. He's interested in and informed about world events-- social studies hadn't even sparked an interest in the past. In areas where he still struggles, he has teachers who understand how he learns and help him along while still holding him to him to high standards. He's actually learning, not just showing up and turning in busywork. Earlier struggles at school extended to his social and emotional life. It was hard to see him struggle when knew him to be bright, funny, insightful, and kind. September School has drawn that out. He's part of a supportive community, has good friends, and is valued for being himself.

He went from thinking school is meaningless and not worth the effort to enjoying many of his classes and coming home happy. The small class size, the personal attention, the caring and supportive community have all transformed his attitude toward school and learning. At September School, he isn't expected to expected to think and perform like everyone else. Teachers support him while also still holding him accountable. We also love the policy of not giving homework, which means assignments get completed in class and school stays at school. September School certainly isn't right for every kid, but for those that need a non-traditional learning environment, it's amazing.

You will be so pleased that you chose Huntington Broomfield. You will look back on this time and…read moresay not only did my child find highly qualified committed caring tutors and also that Melissa and team see and appreciate your child for who they are and the gifts they bring.  Both my kids worked with Melissa and team solely on Zoom. One kid is very driven. One struggled quite a bit with self-confidence. Melissa met each kid exactly where they were at and gave them the praise and encouragement they both needed. She helped them approach the test fully grounded in real self-confidence. She also taught them life lessons of how to prepare for tests in college and grad school and for challenges in life. Many families regard test prep as a stressful, dreaded time. I guarantee you: Melissa will fill you with the confidence that she's got your kids and thanks to Melissa, your kids have got this!

I feel very passionate about my review. It is very…read moreupsetting to see that the Broomfield Huntington has such poor reviews. IT IS JUST NOT TRUE! If you press on REVIEWS NOT RECOMMENDED at the bottom of the review section, you will see so many great reviews. Why the bad reviews are the only ones being publicized is ridiculous! My son has been going to Huntington for many years, from grade school until present. He is now preparing for ACT/SAT. Melissa, the owner, is down to earth, honest, passionate, and by all means, she completely cares about the students in the program. Yes, it is expensive, but our experience is overwhelmingly positive. Our personal experiences: * My son always comes home feeling more confident and really does like attending. * He has never once complained about any of the teachers, although he has his favorites! * The staff is always available to answer any questions or address concerns. * Once in High School, I insisted that my son schedule his own study sessions, to teach him responsibility and autonomy. I imagine it was a bit of a headache for the staff at first, but they never once complained and supported my philosophy. * Over the years, my son's organization, attitude and study skills improved to the point that he now uses Huntington 'as needed' when he finds himself struggling in a class. He also attends weekly for college prep study. *The staff will even meet with your child's teachers to make sure that all those involved are working together for a common plan. There are many other positives, but I think my above testimony is enough to express my views. When a parent sees their child struggle, it can be painful. We worry about their self confidence, their feelings of self worth, their future etc. Huntington not only addresses the student's issues but the parent's concerns as well! Thank you, to all the wonderful staff who have been, and continue to be such positive influences on our son and subsequently our family.

We started at Montclair in 2010 and have been here ever since.

Montclair focuses on Enrichment and Personalized Learning and fosters student learning in a variety of innovative ways including community partnerships, field experiences, and many guest speakers throughout the year. I would also state that the comments made from a parent in 2008 are outdated and would welcome you to stop by Montclair for a tour if you are interested in this wonderful neighborhood school!

I usually try to be as objective as possible when offering my opinion or experiences of anything because I do realize it is merely my opinion. So, I came up with a list of "thank you's" I'd personally like to offer Montclair and the DPS system. (I have edited this list of thank you's to the few I think are relative to this review and the rest I am saving for my formal letter to the school board.) Thank you for allowing my child to be harassed on the playground and allowing him the opportunity to learn new words even I don't know the meaning of. Thank you for changing my child's love of learning to a detestation of school. A personal thank you to the principal for engaging in a personal, emotional, unprofessional argument with my ex-husband on the topic of unsubstantiated "reasons your child was pulled from the accelerated class and placed in a marginal learning/ 50% esl class" - this was comical at best. Thank you DPS for keeping it real - Real Mediocre.
