We have been so happy with DIS. We have kids in both the P1 and P2 classrooms. My eldest requires additional help and the teachers were so enthusiastic about incorporating strategies to help him engage in the classroom more with his teachers and his peers. We feel so blessed to be a part of this community and unlike other centers my children have been at there has been almost no teacher turnover. I really cannot say enough good things about DIS!

I cannot recommend this daycare enough! My child requires a feeding pump and various therapies and they did not even hesitate to accept him. They take extra care with the babies and treat him as if he were their own. We were so nervous about finding a daycare for our baby and now we have seen him excel beyond our wildest dreams. Love this place so much.

My daughter loves this school, she is always excited to go see her friends and teachers. What I most love about it is how much Spanish she is learning. In just a couple of months I have noticed how much more Spanish she is using in her everyday conversations.

Excellent school to take your children! DIS has a unique program in the area, it is a bilingual preschool, it has a variety of activities for all its classrooms, all in a dynamic, interactive and fun way. Jaime and teachers are amazing, plus the whole place is always clean. I wouldn't give 5 stars, I would give 10.

I will start by stating that the reviews below are old and inaccurate. If you are looking for a preschool that gives your child a positive start to school and learning, this is not the right school. When I went to get information from this school I was promised quality and they never lived up to the standards that they promised. Tuition for 4 days is $1260 a month which I am more than happy to pay with the expectation that my son would be receiving high quality education. I soon realized this was not the case. I had multiple incidents at this school, one where my son was sent home without underwear. Another where my son was not served his lunch. A child scratched my son, and I was told nothing until I complained that there was no report made to me about the incident. Once my son moved to the P3 classroom more problems began, my son was constantly blamed for being a bad influence on the other children and not behaving up to their standards. These claims were incredibly out of character for my son and I became suspicious of the integrity of the school. My son started to develop anxiety at the thought of going to school, I would try to pack him his favorite snacks to which he would reply "NOOO! Teacher said not snacks!!!" in a scared manner. I had no proof that my son was being mistreated so I blindly kept sending him to this school. Finally, one day I came in and my son ran to me excited that I was there to pick him up and he tried to show me what he had done that day at school. Immediately the P3 teacher began yelling at my child to not run. At this point I understood why she didn't want him to run, I didn't understand the yelling but I'm very reasonable and understand she doesn't want kids to get hurt. What she did next is what made me pull my child out of this school. She turned around and ridiculed my son in-front of the whole class using him as an example saying "See I already told him not to run twice. I don't want anyone to run like he, did that is bad". I saw the shame in my sons face, and if she was willing to do this in-front of me, I don't know how else she may have been shaming my son and making him feel like he was a "bad" child for normal child behaviors. All of my son's behavior immediately made sense. All the self shaming he was doing at home and all of the anxiety from him at the thought of going to school all made sense. She was conditioning my son into thinking he was a "bad" kid for regular child behaviors. I tried to speak to the teacher about her reaction to my son running to hug me at the end of class. She treated me with a derisive attitude, while brushing off my concerns. She tried to condescendingly convince me that I didn't know my son, and that he was "bad" and that's why he couldn't make friends. I was in shock at how little care she took for my concerns. I explained to her that in any professional setting "employees" are taken in private to discuss poor behavior or any concerns their boss may have.. this is with ADULTS. Why would she express her concerns with my child in front of the whole class? We don't shame adults in the workplace this way.. my 4 year old who is still developing emotional skills and confidence should not be shamed this way either. The next day I tried to speak with the director and I soon realized she didn't have an answer for me when she tried to justify the teacher's unprofessional behavior. I will add that for the amount of money being paid in tuition I was later informed by a previous teacher that the teachers here are underpaid. Which explains why they leave all the time and change all the time. I was left under the impression that they don't even get paid the tuition of ONE child per month. This tells me that the director/owner of this school is incredibly money hungry for the amount of activities offered at this school not enough of the money being made is being invested back into the education of the children. This was a wasted eight mon

DIS is an amazing preschool! My daughter has been with Jaime and her staff since 18 months old and we couldn’t be happier with her care, education and the skills she has learned. Thank you DIS!

My daughters, who are now in 3rd and 1st grade, attended DIS when it was still Bright Minds Childcare, and I very highly recommend this program. I initially wasn't looking for dual immersion, but it was such an amazing gift for my girls. The staff is caring and attentive, and not only did they develop incredibly Spanish-speaking skills, but they were both ahead of grade level in English when they entered kindergarten. My son will be going to DIS once he's old enough!

I can't say enough great things about Mrs. Jaime and her staff. Everyone always treated my two kiddos as if they were their own children. We had issues at another daycare and had to remove my daughter. She had food allergies and the staff gave her other children's food on several occasions. So, when we met Jaime, we were already on edge about having to place our daughter in a new environment. From day one, Jaime has taken care of my daughter amazingly and my daughter loved every minute with Mrs. Jaime. Both of my kiddos are now school age but continued in immersion programs and are well on their way to being fully multilingual by high school. Without Jaime's program, we would not be in that position. Again, can't highly recommend Jaime enough!

Phenomenal school, I cant praise Jamie and her staff enough. My son's been in their care since the "Bright Mind days". Both teachers he's had Mrs. Gabby and Mrs. Mary are very attentive and knowledgeable. I love the music, dance, yoga, and Spanish immersion they do. If you're looking for a top notch program to put your children in, look no further.

Miss Jaime and the DIS program were truly life-changing for our family. It is an environment that nurtures creativity and learning while still feeling loving and very personal, and our girls looked forward to being there every day. They have since "graduated" to kindergarten and beyond, but the social and language skills they learned have stuck with them, and they are thriving at school. Highly, highly recommend!!!

We looked very hard for a Spanish emersion school close to our home. We were so grateful when we found DIS!!! Jaime and her team of teachers helped my twins transition from a regular daycare into a preschool environment. My boys are constantly asking how to say words in Spanish and have a new excitement for learning!

I have been so pleased with my son, Cooper, being totally prepared to enter Kindergarten with such ease. Cooper went to Denver International Schoolhouse since he was 2 years old. The staff is very friendly and professional. They really do have the children's best interest at heart. I would recommend them to anyone who is considering in enrolling.
