My son currently goes to Orchard Valley. We recently moved to Colorado from Seattle, where my son…read morewent to an in-home day care center. So finding a nice day care center was important for us. We are so impressed with Orchard Valley. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Each of the classrooms have bright colors and lots of toys. Communication is great, as they send a weekly email and even daily updates on how your child did. The one and only reason this isn't a five star review is there seems to be staffing issues. I know this isn't the teachers' fault, but from time to time they struggle to have enough teachers in each classroom and can sometimes combine classes if a teacher is sick or has a day off. Otherwise, I would highly recommend Orchard Valley Learning Center.

I do not recommend enrolling your children at Orchard Valley. The director is irresponsable,…read moreunorganized, and unwilling to make an effort to correct her mistakes. While, ideally the school director would be competent enough to resolve any issues on her own, that is unfortunately not the case here. In addition, corporate office is set up for employees and has no contacts for parents of the students. I was beyond disappointed and both of my children were miserable. In response... That was actually not the case at all. I was told on Friday morning by Janie that there was "definitely availability" for both of my children. I explained our special circumstances and that we needed Orchard Valley specifically because of one of their employees. I was told that I would be able to start my children the next week and there was no mention of a deposit. When I called Monday morning, I was told that there were no spaces, it was my fault, and I was hung up on. So yes, my review is accurate, and proven more so by the fact that no one involved has taken any responsibility or offered any solution, yet they have found the time to try to defend themselves on a public forum. If there are any specific accusations that you "Jason" would like to deny I would be happy to address them... Bottom line... I've never even been in direct contact with this facility, or in contact at all with their parent company, and as you can see they are not at all interested in helping their parents or students.

I had a spot guaranteed and paid for. Reserved it a year ahead of time . The day came for my…read moreorientation tour (which they emailed me I needed to come in for since he was starting soon) and they sent me an email saying nevermind - they don't have a space for him. The process after this was also terrible. They were not apologetic and didn't seem to care. I vetted many daycares and was looking very early and they pretty much stole that experience from us and left us without childcare last minute . They don't seem to know when they have space! I would not trust it! Even after they said it was because of another baby joining first (which still wouldn't make sense because they gave us an official date) then later said that baby isn't attending but still no space. I noticed one other review like this... also a family of color ...

My review is based solely on the tour and how it was handled and NOT based off of any care that my…read morechild received. I went online to speak to a representative and schedule a tour with Coal Mine Kindercare. The representative was wonderful and helpful and promptly scheduled my tour for a Thursday at 5 PM. Shortly after scheduling the tour, I recieved a voicemail from Brooke asking if she could reschedule for an earlier time. I returned her call around 5:30 PM the same day and explained to her the reason why we scheduled the tour for when we did. My husband and I work half an hour in opposite directions and he does not get off work until 4:30 PM, therefore the earliest we could do was 5. Brooke stated she was not able to give tours after 4 PM because she was helping out in classrooms and asked if a lunch time tour would work. I again stated that we worked half an hour away from the center and we would have to take a half day off of work just to come and tour, so no that wouldn't work. She again asked if a lunch time tour was acceptable, and I finally told her we would not be touring at all. Instead of trying to get my business, she simply said she was sorry she couldn't do night tours and hung up the phone. If an establishment is unwilling to work with future parents who have normal work schedules and are unable to take time off for a mid day tour, why would I want to give them my business and trust my infant with them? The Goddard School allows drop in tours at any hour and Primrose was more than accommodating of a night tour. They have my business.

Kathy cares deeply about each of her charges, and hires other caregivers who likewise seem to have infinite reserves of energy, patience, and good humor. The kids spend a lot of time playing, being outdoors, going for walks, making bread, gardening, singing, painting, etc (and participating in the awesome birthday parties each one gets). The staff truly pays attention to each child, gets to know their quirks, and provides a fun and stimulating environment for them. My son was at the University location for a year and a half, and recently moved to the new Glencoe location. Both sites are great, and enrollment is limited, so your child won't get lost in the shuffle like he/she might at a large daycare center or preschool. Choosing the right daycare is such an important decision -- definitely consider Sunflower in your search!

We even created a fun little song together on the spot, and they jumped right in with bright smiles and enthusiasm. IKid Academy deserves a big congratulations for cultivating such a loving, organized, and enriching environment.

About the missing item review, do you know the items parents bring are left in the child's cubby for the entire week?
