Strawberry Farm

Strawberry Farm

Our two kids went here for 2 years. It's great. Miss Rita is a constant and runs the ship. Several…read moreother caretakers have rotated through and they've all been great too. Miss Rita can pick 'em well. Our kids have learned, grown, socialized, and played a ton--exactly what they need. When we first moved to town, we looked for daycare options in every prospective neighborhood, which is to say a lot. The yard at Strawberry Farm was the first indication this place is the best. It's a huge yard. There's a "car" area for driving, grass area, playhouses and slides, sometimes a bouncy house, sometimes a sprinkler, always a sun-protected sandbox. In the summer, there's a sun shade canopy over the kid-height picnic table and benches. There's a garden the kids help with. Inside is cozy. The whole downstairs is for kids--a quiet, dark nap room, another nap room for the youngest so they can sleep longer, a music room, cozy living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom with changing station/small toilets and sinks the kids can reach. The schedule is posted in the entrance hall. The kids have drawers and hanging pockets for delivering and picking up things. More about sleep: Our oldest had just turned 3 and we were lucky there was a spot open. The little one was 1 and no spot. He went somewhere else that was...fine...he was safe and fed. However, maybe they never turned the lights off? or didn't have a quiet room? hard to imagine but he didn't nap. They said he wouldn't nap, which was nonsense. At pick up sometimes he was asleep literally on the floor of the main room. He'd sleep in the car/bike, pass out at home and barely revive for dinner. We had to move him ASAP. Once with Miss Rita, he napped perfectly fine without any trouble. Such a relief. They have healthy food and snack every day. Lunch is prepared and the menu posted daily (I love that). They occasionally take fieldtrips to the library and a local Italian restaurant (and send along any leftovers). They have circle time and interactively enjoy story books every day. They learn manners, taking turns and polite language that has been very helpful to use at home. Life is never always smooth and to help with that, Rita will always make time to discuss concerns and issues. We've talked to her when we wondered about our kids and she talked to us when there was something we could help with. That communication is important.

Meadowlark is an incredible pre school filled with loving, caring teachers. We were treated like…read morefamily from day one, and I mean that sincerely. Both of our kids are more compassionate and intelligent due to the love and attention of the staff here. There is nearly no turnover in staff, the teachers are very experienced and care immensely for the kids that attend. I can't say enough good things about Meadowlark. I'm sad that we only have another year here, but I know that the impact this preschool had on my children will last a lifetime.

My Daughter started at this preschool when we first moved from Australia over a year and half ago. Not knowing anyone and being in a new country she was instantly welcomed and fell in love with the school, teachers and friends. She absolutely loves going to school (often does happy dances and squeals of joy) and even requests to go more days! My son (2.5) now goes with her and even though he struggles with detachment at drop off some days, the teachers instantly put him at ease. I think it's a bonus that it is a smaller preschool, so children from various ages can all play and learn together, the teachers are also very attentive to every child so no one gets lost. I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone searching for a nurturing environment with active learning and passionate teachers!

Boulder Waldorf Kindergarten

We have felt moved to share our experience at BWK because it has truly changed our life. Our son…read morehas attended since he was 2.5yrs old (he is 6 years old now) and our youngest has just started at 2 Years old. We feel very grateful to have been introduced to waldorf by chance. We live just down the road and discovered it by driving past the quaint adobe school building and huge , peaceful, tree covered play yard with goats and chickens roaming about. From an outside perspective , it looked like an extension of home; and it has proven to be just that. The teachers are people of integrity, authentic, kind, and nurturing . They hold the kids so beautifully and create days full of wonder and beauty. It becomes obviously quickly that the priority at BWK is To nurture the children from a young age to be confident, curious, gentle, and intentional beings. There is a huge emphasis on social emotional learning and development and the entire faculty support the children and families to create a joyous environment where all are treated with respect and kindness. Now that we have been a part of the school for four years, with kids in two different classrooms , we can attest that it truly feels like the "village" that we have lost in this society. Recommend sending your child at any age if you are seeking a welcoming and safe school, with a strong and connected community of parents and faculty

Of 5 preschools that my kids have been through, this is definitely the worst. There appears to be…read moreno modern early childhood education in action, no conflict resolution taught, preschoolers are sent home or isolated within the school for saying unkind words and pushing verbal boundaries... I won't go into specifics to protect my and other kids' privacy, but message me if this is raising red flags for you... I would never let my kid set foot there again. Very rigid. Should have looked more into the approach of the director (who we never even met until there was a "problem"). Note that most of the positive reviews are quite old when it was under different leadership. Two stars just for the beautiful setting and farm animals, which really drew us in (but turned out to be superficial and far less important than how children are treated - obviously).

Don't be surprised if this review is met with a defensive, minimizing, or manipulative reply - my personal experience predicts this will be the case. I have seen the director Michael on Facebook telling parents not to pay attention to the Colorado Shines website to me that should be a Red Flag they not only have something to hide but are actively working to hide it. For a school that has been around since 1970 you would think they could pass an inspection by now without manipulation or paying someone - see photos.

The Little Red School House, as Children's House is so lovingly referred to in our family, has been…read morethe only preschool I've sent my children to (once they reached 2 1/2) upon arriving in Boulder, from an inner city environment 4 years ago. My oldest, who is now going into 1st grade, was in need of a lot of stimulation outside of the home when he was little. He was one of those very active, curious kids always seeking out new adventures and interests. The education staff took great care in feeding that curiosity from the first day. Their story book journey curriculum is a tested and proven method (see Ashley Merriman's and Po Bronson's, Nurture Shock) for early childhood education success across all areas of learning, whether it be speech, pre literacy, social awareness, personal development, gross/fine motor etc. My husband and I beamed when our 3 year old son came home with books on sharks for us to read to him from the school and started memorizing facts and reciting them to friends and relatives. It seemed he had met his match. As an elementary age kiddo he has flourished into a very kind, loving, enthusiastic and confident student. I give a lot of credit for that to Elaine, the director at Children's House. Our youngest son will be starting his final year at CHP in the fall. He has developed so much from their care by learning self confidence, self reliance and finding his own voice. He is now looking forward to being a leader for next years students and I know he will continue to thrive in this loving, nurturing environment. A point worth making is that it is a one room school house meaning the children are of mixed ages together throughout their day. I can only speak from my family's experience but it has been wonderful to watch our children flourish as they get older, growing first from silent observer, to active participant and lastly to confident leader. The one room serves as a wonderfully safe and creative environment to explore through play, art, music, and pre literacy story telling. While it is a very active and diverse classroom, each child really does find their own sense of peace and space to grow within it. Children's House Preschool has been a very, very positive experience for my family.

We wouldn't recommend Scuttlebugs. We were at Tiny Minders North and loved it. The transition to…read moreScuttlebugs, who bought it when the original owner retired, was rough. The chef is wonderful and so are the hours, but after all of our favorite caregivers left, we started looking for other options. The turnover was so high, it felt like staff came and went every few weeks. The old guard associated with Tiny Minders all departed over time; new folks coming in also left after short stints. Rooms were not staffed with enough teachers. New staff didn't know my kiddo or introduce themselves to me. I felt I was leaving her with strangers. I'm relieved we left when we did--I've since heard concerning stories. For reference our daughter is 3. I hope they can turn this ship around because I know we all desperately need safe, quality childcare.

The school recruited an amazing preschool teacher who brings solid, professional teaching and a great energy to the room. The addition of the onsite chef has been fantastic both because we no longer have to pack lunches, and the meals are full of quality and variety. Overall, a solid choice for a Boulder daycare that caters to the typical working parent.

Nannies of the Rockies

Nannies of the Rockies

(12 reviews)

Nannies of the Rockies is a complete scam. Do not go anywhere near this company. I am working with…read morethe City of the Boulder on a consumer complaint investigation on this company and we are also working with a lawyer to pursue this company for the harm they caused my family. We lost $11,000 in commission on a nanny that didn't work out for stealing and lying and Nannies of the Rockies completely disappeared and did not return our emails and phone calls. If anyone has had issues with Nannies of the Rockies, please reach out to me. We believe their contract is an unenforceable contract as you cannot accept a commission and then disappear. It's called a negligence and the company may be liable for damages including the wages we spent on the nanny and additional damages beyond the commission and wages. The company did not disclose that the nanny did not work out with prior families. We found this out later. Instead, they sold us on the nanny being the best they have ever represented. We are also discussing with the Department of Justice on not disclosing material facts in an attempt to make a quick gain from your customer. They then put the nanny back up on the site without inquiring with us what the stealing and lying pertained to, which means they are cycling through commissions on the same person multiple times in one year -- this deepens the gross negligence of not disclosing our situation to future families. Do not let this negligent company put a childcare placement in your home. They are the most unprofessional, unethical and scandalous company I have ever come across. To disappear after pocketing $11,000 while recycling nannies that don't work out in other homes ... good luck getting away with that. For anyone needing home care, go to Indeed.com and put up your own advertisement and do you own search. My hope is the State of Colorado recognizes the sheer negligence they have shown their customer -- who has a small child. We are talking about families and children here and they're trying to run some shell of an operation where they take your check and cash it before the nanny even sets foot in your home (and of course, they insist it's a check bc you can't open a credit card dispute) -- this company reeks of scam (nobody requires only a check anymore) and it's time someone stand up to these terrible practices. The contract is not worth the paper it is written on. We will not let them bully us on the contract, it is complete and absolute nonsense to take a commission and claim you have no obligations to the customer. The fact they did not return our calls or emails after taking $11,000 and we emailed them a long email explaining the contract was terminated for stealing and lying (and then putting the nanny back onto the site) says everything in terms of the negligence this company is demonstrating in the State of Colorado. We will also have taken note of the so-called good reviews on this company and will investigate further to see how many of them were legitimate customers (so many have 1 review only under their name). And we will be contacting those who left bad reviews to see how many cases of negligence there is where this company took a five-digit commission and disappeared when the nanny did not work out. If you're looking for care from your child, you should heed the bad reviews and do not fall for the good reviews (with only 1 prior review, etc). Indeed.com will product quality nannies that you can run your own background check on -- don't give your money to this scam.

I'd stay away. Our experience was disturbing. They overcharged us for a nanny that ended up…read morestealing from us multiple times. When we fired her for cause, they then ignored our emails. We sent 3 of them, and no response. This was after 4 months with the nanny. To make matters more messed up, they had the nanny that stole from us back up on the site as a featured nanny and they were promoting her as a house manager! Keep in mind, that they never contacted us to see what happened or try to make things right. They just took our money, ignored us and went on to the next commission.
