During our time at Willows - Homestead Learning Center, we witnessed some of the worst examples of…read moreproper childcare in our 3 months of enrollment, as highlighted below: Safety concerns: - Teachers and Director do not properly handle targeted bullying nor even acknowledge major injuries when they occur. Our child was bitten several times, and the bite marks went unnoticed/unreported. - Our son has come home several times with injuries to his head with no explanation from the teachers as to what happened. An example of this is that he hit his head TWICE on the same day and I never received an incident report noting either injury. Lack of oversight over dietary restrictions/food allergies - We observe a vegetarian diet, and our son was served meat products TWICE. Both times were attributed to "miscommunications". Even bringing our own lunch and snacks didn't mitigate the issue. - If our son was served a product that he shouldn't have been TWICE within two months' time, I believe that other children have been served food items that they should not have. Lack of preparation/planning for the day/week: - On our first day, we entered the room to discover that his name was nowhere to be found. When we asked about getting his name displayed around the room to the [former] lead teacher, she stated that she "would do it when she had time". It was only after we brought up our concerns to the Regional Director, Chloe, and Director, DeAnne, that our son's name was included in the room. - Our first month (April), the weekly agenda/theme posted outside the room went unchanged for one month. How does the Director, who works in the same building, not have any idea what each classroom is doing on a weekly basis? Shows a lack of oversight. - The daily agenda posted in the classroom doesn't reflect what the children are doing. To this day, it hasn't been updated in over a month. In the 3 months he has been there, I do not believe that he has learned anything educational. Little to no communication on daily activities: - Willows uses "ProCare" for updates, and we received roughly the following updates: 70% = no daily updates 13% = bulk pictures of all kids 15% = specific photos of your child 2% = specific information for your child's activities - We once went for 3 weeks without any app updates. Lack of Concern and Connection from the Teachers: - If Ms. Bella wasn't in the Yellow classroom and another teacher was covering, our son would be so afraid of them that he wouldn't even express his basic needs to them (i.e. have an accident before he told them that he needed to use the potty). - The covering teachers would never notice his accidents and often he would be in wet clothes when we picked him up and would change him ourselves. - If the Yellow Room teachers were already gone for the day and the kids were playing outside, there was literally no one to ask about how your child's day went. With no app updates and no teachers to communicate with, parents quite literally have no idea what occurred during your child's day. We met with the RD and Director several times to address our concerns about the Yellow Room, but even to our last day, we cannot say that anything ever improved. Over our last few weeks, we saw glimmers of hope and improvement but cannot say that it wouldn't revert to the poorly organized, barely functioning room that it has been in since our arrival.

Our son started when he was 3 years old and the team there has been loving, communicative and flexible. There is a good balance of academics and fun and he has really thrived in their program. Our daughter joined when she was 4 and is now in first grade and she was well equipped for kindergarten, both academically and socially. Mrs. Ferguson, Ms. Roberts and Mr. Powell are amazing with the children. Their summer program has helped both of our children become excellent swimmers. Their instructors are the absolute best. And you can't beat their hours and closure dates. We have loved our experience at Willows.

His teachers have been nothing short of incredible. They all truly have a passion for what they do and are genuinely invested in every child in their classroom. The growth we've seen in not just academics, but also in social confidence, emotional development, and problem-solving skills, has been incredible. The wide range of activities he's able to participate in at school, like soccer shots, little gym, and zookeeper visits, among others, makes every day an exciting adventure for him, where he's genuinely excited to go to school. He's heading into kindergarten extremely well-prepared and is excited to continue learning. School operations are fantastic as well. The school does an excellent job of parent communication, has a safe and efficient drop-off/pick-up system, and great overall facilities.

I was very concerned with the lack of attention as well as other issues in general at the public school system. We took a tour of Aspen Academy in January 2019, and my child spent the day there shadowing other students in the kindergarten class. When I came to pick her up she was all smiles. Fast forward to today. My daughter has been in the first grade class at Aspen Academy for over half of the school year, and every day I pick her up she is smiling and wanting to tell me about everything that happened during her day. The school is innovative, welcoming, kind, inclusive, forward thinking and so much more. The parent community is strong and supportive. The overall student community is strong and supportive. This school is developing the leaders of today and the future. I always feel that no matter what arises, it will be attended to quickly and with kindness. A specific example is this time of the coronavirus - this school was so prepared for any situation that in less than 24 hours (i think actually 12), the school had all of its education online for school students to do virtual learning. The teachers were prepared and humble. The students were excited and happy to continue their learning. I cannot say enough about the school, it's teachers and it's founders. Aspen understands what children need to succeed, and they provide the resources, support and kindness to ensure that each child has the best possible experience.

Too bad, they have to get on stage and perform. Do they have test anxiety? Deal with it. The counselor seems involved and like he cares, but when it comes down to it he passes blame and plays as if he doesn't know what's going on and he wasn't involved in the group conversation. Once the administration makes up their mind, it doesn't matter what your child does, they have decided they want them out. Most of the parents are fine, but many seem very impressed with themselves. We were thrilled that there was an opening in 6th grade for the upcoming year at Denver Academy.
