Our daughter has been in the "Nido" (infant) room for about two months and has had an outstanding experience. Her teachers are experienced, warm, and caring, and she breaks out into big smiles when she sees them.

We feel lucky to have found H&H!

Big thanks to the FP teachers for pulling that off and making school a place they are eager to go to everyday.

The communication from teachers is fantastic, and it genuinely feels like a partnership.

My son enrolled at Science of Learning Preschool in September 2025 shortly after turning three. The…read moreprogram appealed to us because of its focus on speech therapy and early learning support. Mrs. Alexis shared that she previously worked as a preschool teacher in a public school district and opened this program to provide more individualized attention with a smaller student-to-teacher ratio. At the time of enrollment, my son had recently aged out of Early Intervention services and did not qualify for special education through St. Vrain Valley Schools. Based on a recommendation from our speech therapist, we decided to enroll him. During our tour, the school appeared welcoming, and we were told my son would be the youngest student. Since it was a new program, we understood there would be some initial organization still in progress. My son attended two half days a week from September through November. During that time, however, I did not receive any communication from the speech therapist--no updates, progress reports, emails, or conference opportunities. I was told speech sessions took place upstairs, but I was never offered a tour of that space or the opportunity to meet the therapist, which felt like a lack of transparency. My son was still potty training and had occasional accidents. After accidents, he was typically placed in a pull-up rather than being supported in transitioning back to underwear. As a very active child who had never attended daycare before, he did have a few minor incidents with peers. Since transferring to a new preschool, he has had none, which suggests this environment may not have been the right fit for him. In November, after tuition had already been withdrawn, Mrs. Alexis scheduled a conference. I expected a discussion about my son's progress, but instead was told she believed he would do better in a public preschool program and suggested Child Find. This was discouraging, as we had already completed that process and he did not qualify. It was also disappointing that this conversation occurred mid-year, without earlier communication or an attempt to create a support plan. During the meeting, I was asked about occupational therapy despite that information being clearly included in my paperwork. Comments such as "he can't hold a pencil" made me feel that instead of helping him develop skills, the program had decided he wasn't a good fit. I also noticed most students appeared significantly older, closer to kindergarten age, which may have contributed to the challenges. When I asked if my son should return, I was told, "We want him here as long as you want him here," but it did not feel reassuring. Ultimately, I chose to withdraw him and find another program. Finding a new preschool in November was stressful, but thankfully we did. My son is now thriving--he loves school, has had no behavioral incidents, no potty accidents, and receives warm, consistent support. The difference has been significant. While Science of Learning Preschool may work well for some children, it was not the right fit for our younger, high-energy child. I hope the program improves communication with parents and strengthens individualized support, especially given that these are key aspects the school promotes.

The setup at this Y is not my favorite. There is only one bench available that isn't attached to a barbell holder and there are an excess of Elliptical machines and bikes. They've done away with the floor area to make room for even more of them. Someone must have demanded that, but it sure wasn't me. It's cool that this branch has an ice rink, though I've not used it yet. Parking is easy. Staff is friendly. However, there's no steam room, the towels are tiny, and unlike other Y's, you can neither borrow nor buy a lock. Most let you do one or the other. I'm glad this branch exists, but it's average in my estimation.

We love the teachers who you can tell care so deeply about the children and the environment they create for them. We also love that both classrooms spend a lot of time outdoors in the yard--our kids talk a lot about the garden they tend to and the flowers, vegetables, and fruits they grow there. The school is an authentic Montessori program--the teachers are highly trained and skilled and the curriculum is planned and purposeful. Unfortunately, any school can throw the word Montessori into the title and that doesn't mean they implement an authentic program, but rest assured, this school does. Our kids are thriving! Since starting here, our two littles are excited to learn, have become increasingly independent and take more initiative and are more cooperative with each other and other children. We highly recommend this school!

I cannot in good faith recommend this school to any child or family. My child went to this school…read morefor about 1.5 years, starting at about 2.5. I have PTSD from the judgement my child received, lack of support, poor communication, and overall unprofessionalism of leadership. The teachers were very kind, but unfortunately, not fully equipped to support a variety of children's needs. My child has thrived since leaving this school and had zero issues with classmates and teachers. I believe if you're child is quite docile and loves to work alone that this could be a fine enough option for you, but if that's not the case, I'd encourage you to look elsewhere. And my best advice is just to talk to a handful of parents at the school. It can seem really nice on the surface, but the best way to know what it's really like is to talk to the community of parents that currently have children enrolled. Many felt the same way, but as you know, it's hard to find good childcare so it was the lesser of the evils for a lot of families. I fully expect the school to try to retaliate this review (as defense was often the communication I was met with for any concerns), but I hope that some of the professionalism has come back to the school and they will just receive the feedback and learn from it.

But the one thing that you can count on at Autana is them addressing and mediating any issues that may be happening. The women are sweet and nurturing.

If you are looking for women who really invest in their job this is the school for you.

Treehouse is an amazing place for children. Our son started at just 12 weeks old and has been there…read morefor over a year and a half. His growth has been amazing and the teachers are wonderful. He loves going there in the mornings and is always so happy when I peek in the classroom to see him in his element. The school uses a great reporting tool so my wife and I are updated regularly throughout the day. The communication from the teachers and administrators is top notch and they are incredibly responsive. They truly care about the well being of your child and the bonds they form are very real. I always felt like he was getting incredible attention and so much love from his caretakers. Knowing that he is in the best hands during the day is a huge relief for my wife and I. Do make sure to get on the waiting list well in advance. The classes are small and there aren't a lot of spots available. We signed up I think 7 months or so in advance and they were incredibly communicative about the process. The tuition fees are comparable to all other places in town but if feels like you're getting so much more. He gets to go outside for extended periods during the day which he absolutely loves and he gets a good long nap in the afternoon as well. The food is amazing and the place smells so good when I pick him up in the afternoons. The center of the building is an open kitchen where everything is prepared fresh each day. The menu is full of nutritious and adventurous foods for the kids and different every day. He eats all kinds of things for lunch that we could never get him to eat at home on our own as well as 2 healthy snacks. It's great not having to put together and pack up a days worth of food for him everyday when we're busy getting ready in the morning. At this point I couldn't imagine life without Treehouse. They are adding so much our child's development and we just feel incredibly thankful that they exist. All the kids and families seem so happy to be a part of the community there.

Little People's Landing in Louisville has been great. Our daughter has been going there for almost…read morea year now. We did a LOT of shopping around (including looking at the Little People's in Westminster) and chose LPL Louisville because they seemed to have the right balance of play and structure, guidance and hands-off, cleanliness, and letting kids be kids. They really focus on the kids and it's obvious that she is loved and really enjoys being there. Lately when we've pulled up I hear an excited "SCHOOL!" from the backseat. One of the biggest draws for us was the director Christine Hawkins. I can't say enough good things about her. She really helped our daughter adjust to daycare (most mornings going from my arms to her arms). When I switched jobs Christine worked with me to make sure the billing was done appropriately. Even recently when my husband had surgery, Chris worked it out so that our daughter could come extra days. Our daughter just moved up to the preschool classroom and is thrilled to be with "the big kids". While at LPL Louisville her vocabulary and language skills have gone off the chart! At her 2 year checkup her pediatrician told us that developmentally she was on par with a 3-4 year old. Clearly Little People's Landing in Louisville is a place where children flourish!

I have had the worst experience as a parent/ teacher with Little People's Landing Louisville! They…read morehave been extremely disrespectful and have went through every hoop they could to try and say we didn't hold up our end of the contract. They quoted me $200 every 2 weeks for our daughters tuition and after a week of me being employed and seeing the invoice it was $199 for just 1 WEEK!!! I told the office about the price difference and all they could do was say sorry. Fast forward 2 weeks later my employment ends and I have already been invoiced for the full week of childcare, they tell me to gather all my daughters things and leave; meaning she isn't allowed to continue her school week. I asked for an adjustment to the invoice to reflect that she didn't attend the rests of the week because the office unenrolled her and it was not our doing to leave. They said no. When I asked for the entire amount to just be removed because they didn't hold up their end of the contract, they finally adjusted the amount but said I'd accrue a late fee daily if I don't pay it. However I had asked for the entire amount to be removed at this point now because they didn't give the 2 week notice that was required in their end of the contract. They tried to email me the contract saying I had to hold up my end of it all while violating it themselves. My daughter had ZERO behavior issues and the director said to me "she's definitely getting used to us and the center." So they can't try to pull the behavior card. They withdrew her upon my job termination. They then tried to tell me I unenrolled her and that it was my doing. I didn't not withdraw her and had I did I would have done it to end the last date of the invoiced week as I would have had to pay anyways. They are being extremely confrontational and don't want to resolve anything. I do not play about my families hard earned money and will not accept an oh well as an answer. I will do everything I can to get this matter resolved and if I have to leave a review on every platform then so be it. Some of y'all may say I'm doing too much and should just drop it but I'm not and it will be escalated however far it needs to because people can't keep getting away with treating others unfairly. (If anyone has some advice on how else we can deal with this, that would be great.)

The care he has received is phenomenal as there are so many activities, dedicated story-time, lots of toys, and ways to interact among the kids and with the caregivers. Sara is very respectful of how you'd like to parent and offers alternatives if certain methods weren't working out (for example, my son would not sleep during the day and I wasn't ready to let him cry it out - so there was a period where Sara or the other caregivers would tote him around in a baby carrier to get him to sleep). Most importantly, Sara genuinely cares for each of her kids!
