“I have absolutely loved my children's experience at Iliff! My son has been in both their preschool classroom and Kindergarten, and my daughter has attended the school-age summer camp.

Iliff has truly been everything we hoped for and more. Every teacher that we have interacted with at Iliff is caring, kind, and very much dedicated to the children. All of the preschool teachers are amazing, and my son absolutely loved his preschool teacher and his time in her classroom.

To speak a bit about the Kindergarten program, the Kindergarten class is really special. My son has grown so much in Ms. Mary's classroom, and she creates a warm and fun environment that really encourages each child. Every week, they have writing, math, music, Spanish, science, and a lot of other fun activities. They even do baking! The kindergarteners also get to spend a lot of time outside on their own playground, which is really big and a perfect space to run around and enjoy their time together. The social-emotional support and guidance they get is an excellent foundation for their future years in school.

We receive daily pictures and updates from Ms. Mary, and it is so much fun seeing what they are up to. I know my son is loved and well-cared for in her classroom. I also know he is building a strong academic foundation and very well-prepared for his next steps.

I would highly recommend Iliff preschool and its Kindergarten program!”

“All 4 of my kids went here and had an incredible experience. The teachers are some of the best people on the planet and make each day a fun and educational experience. I love that the parents can get involved in the classroom and in community events throughout the year. My children all enjoyed their time here. I started my oldest when he was 4 but my youngest twins when they were 2 so they would have more time to develop and learn in this supportive environment. KDD is a special place and I’m so grateful we got to be a part of it.”

“Awesome spot! Our son has been here for almost a year now and in two different classes. Both of them have been exceptional. The teachers and the front office staff are super friendly, helpful, and on their game! Communication is amazing and I love that I get regular updates throughout the day via the app. Highly recommend!”

“All three of our children go to ACT and we love their care! Our oldest son has been attending for three years, starting as an infant, and the experience has been exceptional every step of the way.

With our first baby, the staff worked closely with us and were incredibly accommodating to our schedule. During his toddler years, their proven potty-training approach made the process smooth and stress-free. Now, as he’s grown, his teachers continue to be patient, supportive, and especially helpful in making our son feel safe and welcomed especially on the days when drop offs can be hard for him.

We also love the daily updates and photos—they give us peace of mind knowing he’s happy and thriving. Highly recommend ACT!”

“My daughter is getting ready to graduate from Green Mountain Village Preschool and cannot say enough positive things. Ms Tracy is doing an incredible job building this program. She knows each of the kids by name. She knows us parents. She genuinely loves our daughter and our family. Her teachers Ms Katy and Ms Erin have fostered a love of learning that is hard to find. They love each of the kids in the classroom and do a great job preparing them for elementary school. As we move on to elementary school in the fall we will miss this place deeply.”

“This place is amazing! My child has had a wonderful PK experience here. The director is wonderful to work with and the teachers are amazing. I chose this school because of the focus on the whole child, incorporation of outdoor play and animals into daily routines, and the low tech environment.”

“I absolutely love this place. It was so hard for me to put my two year old granddaughter in daycare.
The teachers in my granddaughters classroom (Toddler 1) are amazing! I know that she is being well taken care of!”

“My two sons attended this facility for a little over 2 years, and I am grateful for the love, care, and dedication their teachers showed them. Knowing my children were safe, happy, and genuinely excited to be there gave me great peace of mind. The staff worked hard and consistently provided daily updates, and we will truly miss the teachers, who felt like family.

The reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to recurring billing issues and frequent requests to keep children home because of staffing shortages. While I always paid on time and worked with the center when challenges arose, I was required to keep my son home when a balance was owed, yet after being overcharged, I have been waiting more than two months for a promised refund. So the consideration wasn’t reciprocated.

Although the director expressed sadness when I unenrolled my child early due to this issue, I felt that “sadness” was not genuine since she seemed almost happy to tell me I would have to keep my child home before paying a balance owed for less than a week. My last daycare actually was more considerate and worked with me with more compassion than this one. The teachers were wonderful, but my experience with billing and Tammy the director was disappointing.”

“St Bernadette is a community filled with Faith, hope, love for Christ and humanity! Fr Joe is filled with the Holy Spirit and his ministration brings healing, hope and restoration! He is the Spiritual Director of Wells Spring Academy! My kids go there! A wonderful, inspirational, family friendly place to School and Worship! God Almighty Here!”

“FIVE STARS! Thrive Preschool is filled to the brim with wonderful teachers and awesome kids! Cari, the director is a fantastic asset to the school and made our children's theatre event go super smoothly. The staff was engaged and participated with the kids in all the warm-ups, acting games, songs and stories from our summer acting workshops! The atmosphere was very welcoming, smiling teachers, clean classrooms and lots of positive energy. Parents need to know that this school provides extra programs, like Play-Ground Theatre, for your children to enjoy and THRIVE!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. Watching our child grow and flourish here over the years has been one of the greatest joys of our parenting journey.

What stands out most is how thoughtfully structured the curriculum is — perfectly calibrated to exactly where children are developmentally at each age and stage. It never feels one-size-fits-all; it feels intentional and expertly designed.

The teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in every child. They communicate closely with parents, keep us consistently updated, and make us feel like true partners in our child’s development.

The space itself is just beautiful — warm, stimulating, and joyful. And the administration and directors are equally fantastic: responsive, kind, and clearly passionate about what they’ve built.

If you’re looking for a preschool where your child will truly thrive, look no further. We are so grateful for everything this school has given our family.”

“We have had the best experience at the Goddard school in Highlands. Our son is happy and loves his teachers. The school offers many extra events such as Parents Night Out, a holiday concert and Halloween festivities. It’s a fun and caring community!”

“Absolutely love this place! All the staff is wonderful and I love seeing my nieces thrive! There is so much positivity and happiness in the center. Thank you to all staff for everything you do!”

“My wife and I have been so happy with the shift we made from our son's previous pre-school to AELC. The staff are so helpful and communicative, and our son loves his teachers and has had a great experience there so far.”

“My son has been at the ELC at Bethlehem for 3 years. The teacher communication is always quick and great! So much of the staff knows my son and they all make him feel known and loved. My son enjoys it very much and has learned a lot of skills since attending. They have many safety measures in place. There are also so many community activities to join in on. I have met many other parents and feel like we're actually part of a community. Lastly and the biggest selling point for us, is that Bethlehem shares the Gospel with the kids.”

“If you're looking to get certified in permanent makeup, I would highly recommend going to Erla! She is a wonderful person, and very hands on in her teaching. You will learn a lot from her course, and she'll make sure you feel confident enough to do permanent makeup on your own. She's also very honest and gives plenty of constructive criticism to help you learn. Her classes are currently limited to 4 students at a time, which is great because you're not lost in a huge group and trying to figure things out on your own!”

“My daughter Winnie has grown exponentially both cognitively and physically, all because of her teachers! She has been going here since the end of March and is thriving!”

“We are absolutely thrilled with our experience at Primrose at Standley Lake! This school has exceeded our expectations in every way possible, and we couldn't be happier with the care and education our children have received here.First and foremost, the teachers at Primrose at Standley Lake are exceptional. They truly go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for the kids.Our children have not only thrived academically but have also developed valuable social and emotional skills thanks to the dedication and expertise of the teaching staff.”

“Front desk staff/administration are very professional, kind, and personable; incredible teachers that are present and play / interact with the students; ample indoor and outdoor play areas that are safe and child appropriate; excellent communication between staff and families; high cleanliness standards (recently won an award for this!); wide variety of learning skills and lessons throughout the day; spanish and mandarin speaking staff and spanish lessons; special visitors on a frequent basis (magicians, musicians); hours of operation are great for working caregivers (open 5 days a week 7AM-6PM); and most importantly I trust that my child will be well taken care of and have a great time when there!”

“My son is 2.5 first time in childcare . I was a bit nervous but we both needed this opportunity . He has become more social , making friends, getting better with emotional regulation. He absolutely loves his teachers and the staff. I can’t believe he even enjoys napping there because at home he fights me on naps. He must be so wore out I suppose from all the mental and physical endurance learning he is gaining there. A wonderful place in general and no complaints.”

“We HIGHLY recommend The Goddard School to everyone!! Friends and family are probably tired of hearing about how much we love it! The teachers are all wonderful, caring, competent and truly seem to love their jobs. The owner Dan and his family are incredibly friendly and honest. We have always felt that our kids were safe, cared for and learning tons here. We still have one child at the school but our older child recently graduated and is in kindergarten this year. She was very well prepared for kindergarten thanks to The Goddard School. We have met so many wonderful families and made lots of friends here. We are so thankful we chose The Goddard School for our family. We will be sad when it's time to move on!”

“Five stars for Kipling Parkway KinderCare a wonderful school for your kids to grow. Thank you to the incredible Director Jessica who is an outstanding leader. Additional thanks to Assistant Director Anastasia who is friendly, helpful and a fantastic asset to this center. Big shout to Bre the Program Specialist who has dedicated herself to the childcare industry, she's is 100% pure awesomeness. The students at this school are a happy, smiling well behaved bunch, they had a blast acting, dancing, singing and story telling with Play-Ground Theatre. The teachers at this KinderCare are really nice, organized and so easy to work with and they love their kids!!! Hats off to: Skylar, Brenda, Dani, Kathy & Wow! can Miss Michelle decorate a classroom, so impressive. Parents considering this school need to know that Kipling Parkway KinderCare offers extra enrichment programs like Play-Ground Theatre for their students to enjoy. Recommend.”

“Our daughter has been at highlands academy for a year and I can safely say it was one of the best decisions we made as we came off our first parental leaves. A special shout out in particular to our infant classroom lead - Bri.

Bri is the consummate professional and such a warm and welcoming presence for parents and kids alike! Our daughter lit up every day seeing her and it made us so much more assured as parents knowing our daughter was in great hands. Our daughter’s development in the time she was with that classroom was astounding! Couldn’t be happier”

“Nature School Cooperative has been an amazing experience for our family! Over the past year, we’ve watched our son grow remarkably. He has developed so much confidence in his physical abilities and blossomed in his social interactions, becoming noticeably more caring toward others. He genuinely loves school, arrives every day excited to learn, and has completely thrived within their supportive structure. The teachers are wonderful and have been instrumental in the positive changes we’ve seen. If you’re looking for a school that will truly prepare your child to thrive as they enter their primary school years, this is the place. I cannot recommend it highly enough!”

“This is a wonderful for school for working parents. I was drawn to Goddard based on their minimal holidays off and generous open/close times. However, what I love about this school is that it is truly a school and not just a place to babysit my toddler. They don’t utilize screen time and have an age appropriate balance between structured learning and play based learning. Goddard has helped potty train my child. His vocabulary has exploded since joining Goddard. I know my toddler is in great hands here as we really appreciate and enjoy the teachers. The admin staff is also amazing; they’re understanding, efficient, and even they know my toddler’s name. It is a well run school. I would recommend it to anyone.”

“We have had a great experience at Primrose Candelas. Our kiddos have had great care from the teachers and leadership staff and we have loved seeing them learn and grow. We appreciate the structure curriculum while also giving them opportunity to be creative, play outside and more. Additionally, the meals cooked are a huge perk and it’s gets our kiddos to try new foods they may not normally eat at home. We are so appreciative and thankful for Primrose and love sending our kiddos here! Thanks Primrose Candelas :)”

“Our toddler has been at this KinderCare since she was an infant, and it has been the best experience. In every room, the teachers have been wonderful with excellent communication, and our toddler really looks forward to going every day! We know she is safe and cared for, and we can tell that she is engaged and learning new things. The leadership really cares about the kids and is so supportive of families and staff alike. We are so grateful to have this school!”
