    ALL SMILES! After…read morebeing at home with Mom and Grandma for the first 7 months of my daughter's life, I was nervous and stressed about the transition of taking my baby girl to day care for the first time. After doing research on the best facilities across Broomfield, Louisville, Lafayette and Erie, I decided on Little Sunshine's and am SO GLAD that I did. Miss Gini (Asst Director) made the process from enrollment to first day attendance feel comfortable and simple, easing my worries tremendously. Miss Lori and Miss Brooke (along with the help of Miss Adrienne) in the Infant 2 room have been the BIGGEST blessings! My little girl loved them from the first week she started. Making it so much easier for me to drop her each day and go to work knowing she is in good hands and loves her teachers. They are always engaging and have done everything they can to help ease my mind and keep my little girl happy. They are flexible and communicative and very sweet with all of the kids. Cannot say enough positive things about this dream team! Also, their proprietary phone app, LuvNotes is AWESOME! The teachers post pictures and notes of my daughters activities throughout the day, when she eats, naps and has a diaper change, which definitely helps mamas like me get peace of mind and reduce the mom guilt. SHOUT OUT TO MISS LORI and MISS BROOKE - ya'll are the BEST! Thank you for being you!!

    We joined the Little Sunshine waitlist in June 2024, paying a $350 non-refundable fee after being…read moreexplicitly promised a part-time spot would be available by the end of my maternity leave (approximately 11 months later). After that, we received no communication for 14 months. When we finally reached out, Little Sunshine reneged on their promise of part-time care and had no opening available as originally assured. When we asked for a refund (given that we paid the fee based on inaccurate information) we were told the fee is non-refundable, even though staff acknowledged that multiple families have expressed similar frustrations about misleading waitlist practices. We were promised a follow-up from a higher-up, but no one ever called. In our view, the $350 waitlist fee was paid under deceptive and misleading circumstances, and the lack of communication and accountability has been very disappointing.

We are deeply grateful for the amazing care of our daughter and excellent execution of the TLE curriculum.

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.

There has been great staff retention in an industry where I can only imagine that is difficult to achieve. There have been several staff there taking care of him since he was an infant, and the relationship that they have developed is amazing. I appreciate the Montessori principles, admittedly we chose the school based on proximity to home but the curriculum has been excellent. Any time there has been an issue, staff have handled it timely and professionally. We are even considering keeping him in the program for Kindergarten before we send him off to public school. I am so grateful for all the staff at Hope!

They frequently allow children to paint with non-washable paints (4 shirts and 1 pair of pants have been ruined), children are allowed to cut other students' shirts with scissors (1 shirt has been ruined), and they lose my child's belongings all the time (2 shirts, 1 pair of shorts, a pair of mittens, and 1 brand-new book that they requested we bring). When asked about the missing or ruined items, the teacher refuses to take responsibility for what goes on in her classroom, and the director doesn't hold the teacher accountable. Each and every newsletter they send out is filled with spelling and grammatical errors. They insist that the newsletter be in an attachment to the email, but they forget to attach it about 75% of the time, meaning your inbox will frequently be cluttered with several emails a day from this Montessori. You are required to bring snacks for 20 children at least once a month, as they are unwilling to provide them. The snacks they request are frequently out-of-season and very expensive berries and fresh-cut flowers. If your child attends for a full day, you are responsible for providing his or her lunch, or spending $4.00/day to have the meal catered. Again, this facility refuses to provide food for your child.

I have two kids here and we started over 4 years ago -- I've had a kid in every single room at this school, from early infant to private kindergarten, and many of the same teachers have been there the whole time.

Our younger boy started in the same school when he was 10 month old in 2014. Now they are 7 and 4, and our older one is in elementary school now. We love Primrose! Our boys always have wonderful time with Primrose. With caring teachers, wonderful staff, great curriculum, our boys have been growing into very confident, caring, and loving kids. They love their teachers. They love to make friends. They grew up with some good friends from infant classrooms to Pre-K or Kindergarten and they still have play dates and miss each other outside of the school. They love circles times and small groups everyone. They have learnt so much in school and often amazed us! Primrose has been an important part of our life in the last few years. We trust this school so much because we know our little ones would have great time there everyday. And if they have any issues, there are someone caring in school who is going to take care of them and to discuss issues with us. We are glad we made great choice to send our boys to this school a few years ago and strongly recommend this school to new parents! Thanks

    My son attended Karter School in Thornton from early 2024 through June 2025. I'm writing this…read morereview under my real name despite hesitation, as I've observed other detailed parent reviews being publicly dismissed rather than addressed. That response to genuine feedback is itself concerning. I withdrew my son due to ongoing issues with leadership, communication, and safety concerns that accumulated over time. My experience aligns closely with other detailed reviews that have been dismissed as fake, which speaks to a pattern of avoiding accountability rather than addressing legitimate concerns. Initially, the director was professional and welcoming. Over several months, her approach changed significantly. Communication became dismissive and at times felt hostile. After a minor misunderstanding at a school event, the tone toward my family clearly shifted. Reasonable questions were met with defensiveness rather than collaboration. Warning signs included sudden classroom changes without parent notification, active discouragement of parent-teacher communication, and an atmosphere where families seemed reluctant to ask questions or raise concerns. When a teacher left abruptly, parents were told not to discuss it, a directive that felt controlling rather than transparent. Safety incidents during our enrollment included an emergency evacuation and police presence on the property. Communication during these events was minimal and reactive. Staff appeared uncertain about emergency procedures, which is unacceptable in a childcare setting. In June 2025, I became aware that the director had spoken negatively about me by name during another family's private exit meeting, a meeting I had no involvement in. This breach of professionalism confirmed my concerns about retaliation and lack of accountability. I withdrew my son immediately. The building is beautiful and many teachers genuinely care about the children. However, leadership sets the culture, and that culture felt increasingly defensive and unstable. I encourage prospective families to speak with multiple current and former parents, review state licensing records, and look beyond first impressions before enrolling.

    We were fortunate to have one of the best teachers our child has ever had while we were at this…read moreschool, and for a time, everything seemed to be going well. However, when we attempted to transition our child to a different classroom, we were met with unexpected resistance from management. What followed was a terse meeting, after which we were abruptly expelled from the program. Unfortunately, we have since learned that we are not the first family to experience this kind of treatment. There were also repeated instances where promised programs--such as Music and Mandarin--were quietly removed or dismissed as never having been part of the curriculum, despite earlier assurances. A concerning pattern we observed is how management handles criticism. Families who leave negative reviews on public platforms like Google are often met with threats of legal action from ownership (see attached image). People are afraid of reprisal and remove them as you will be targeted by management to find out if you know who left them as they are obsessed with their reviews. The organization is quick to invoke its "Parent Code of Conduct" to justify its actions, yet there is no equivalent standard of accountability for management behavior. As a result, many families feel compelled to leave anonymous reviews out of fear of retaliation. I urge other families to proceed with caution. Being removed from a daycare is not only disruptive to your child's development and emotional well-being, but also to your family's routine and stability. To make matters worse, the center does not offer refunds or even partial reimbursements if you are dismissed mid-month.

    I want to start by saying I have never been more grateful for a daycare EVER!…read more I have had other daycares including private homes... BUT nothing is as Warm and Fuzzy as this. MY child CRYS when he sees me come in, because he isn't done yet! He even asks if I can come back later. He LOVES this center, from his teachers, to the most fabulous staff... I feel safe dropping him off and going to work. If I could give ten stars I would. One teacher in particular has 30 years here... thirty years of her life spent taking care of the working parents children, that right there says it all!!! thank you so much from my heart to yours... you are here when I need you.

Laura the director and Stacey the assistant director are wonderful. The directors are really what made me choose this center over others in the area. These people help their staff, students and parents (they don't just sit in an office all day). They actually know each child who attends their school which I did not get on any other tours we had with other preschools. My son (who is 3) has been at KinderCare for a few months and he is gaining a lot of new skills and learning. If you are just looking for playtime and daycare this may not be the place for you. We were looking for more of a preschool curriculum, and they have not disappointed. The teachers really care about teaching your child. They also have some really cool programs like Soccer Shots (which costs extra). My son gets to take soccer classes while he is in school. They also have a basketball group as well, but we just did soccer for now as he loves it. We currently attend 3 days a week (half days) so they offer a bit of flexibility with schedule (and this helped our budget as well). Meals (breakfast and lunch plus snacks) are included in tuition.
