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.

This place has so much potential. For the most part it is staff who really care and they teach the…read morechildren a lot - program wise it is great. 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.

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.

Overall, a solid choice for a Boulder daycare that caters to the typical working parent.

This is my experience and I wanted to share it. Here are a couple pictures that show the school was short staffed, the business closed earlier then our contract stated, and I was charged double along with all of the other parents during my childrens enrollment. I had to show bank statements proving I was double charged as they were confrontational when I brought up the issue. Per other reviews, Jackie denied everything and was not apologetic for any of these problems. I have a post on NextDoor going and it is amazing how many other families have had similar issues. Read the reviews, check on NextDoor, and check on various daycare sites before making the decision to send your kids here.

THANK YOU Primrose Thornton for staying abreast of the COVID regulations throughout this pandemic…read moreand investing heavily (financially and other) in the health & safety of the school, teachers/staff and families. Yes, observing COVID regulations is (importantly) about individual and public health--but your compliance and care have positively affected our children's education, socialization, and our sanity because classes and the school can stay OPEN. Quarantine is costly and a big pain for all. There are multiple reasons behind different actions that are not in front of folks for them to see and understand. So while it shouldn't be necessary, in addition to all the hoops you've jumped through to make things work, thank you also for explaining to those who have a strong opinion and may not always understand "why". Also, my 4 year old has been attending since he was 1, and he loves his teachers and classmates. He's doing very well in school. We love that they provide meals (less work for parents) and have widely available hours (with some reasonable adjustments during COVID due to staffing & ratio requirements).
