My 3 children attend this daycare and my 4 yr old is not the easiest to deal with but they work with him and give him numerous chances and work with me on what we can do together to make sure he grows up to be the best little man he can be. He’s learned social skills as well as teamwork and resolving conflict. He is still learning but has come a long way since he has started. He has been working on his emotions and how to express them in a healthy way, all because he has been attending this daycare. His teacher is absolutely amazing, she really tends to him in a way that is difficult but she does it because she cares. My other two are school age and they attended the summer camp as well as the after school program, they love it here. When I’m off work and they have a choice to go to daycare or stay home, they almost chose daycare every time because of the positive influences this daycare brings to my kids life. Ken and Dianna are so helpful and truly care about what’s best for my kids as well as others. No daycare is perfect and no kid is perfect but it’s the way they come together to create a safe place for my kids as well as others.

It really saddens me to be writing this review at this moment. As of last week my kids are no longer enrolled in this day care. It’s after months of going back and forth with my son’s teacher about his so called behavioral issues that I have decided to remove him. My son has been suspended countless of times (1 to 3 days a week, since he started) by his teacher Veronica, with the support of the preschools director. My son is only 3 years old. As professionals in child development, I was not offered any solutions to the so called behavioral problems my son was showing in class. A 3 year old being suspended is not punishing or showing the child they are doing something wrong, it’s actually punishing us (the parents) for having to take off work. Even though we pay for our children to be taught and taken care of, so we can work. My question is: Is being at home “suspended” a realistic consequence for a 3 year old’s bad behavior? No! It’s more like a treat. My son does not exhibit these behaviors at home, as I’m told he does in his class. It’s also come to my attention there are other parents who have dealt with this same situation, with the same teacher. After thinking, I have come to the conclusion that my child is being singled out. As per my own research and speaking with my child’s primary care physician his behavior is considered normal and acceptable for his age (it’s all a process) but she did not show any interest of dealing with my son from the beginning. I do not understand how a child care professional would not correct these issues during class if that was the case, instead of basically telling me my son had problems and needed to seek professional help. She is the only teacher who has expressed this, with support of the director. I am disgusted by how this situation has been handled. My child was terrified every morning expressing he did not want to go to that class. And I’m understanding now he was probably being treated unlike the other kids. I need a place where they are willing and/or be prepared to guide my child on how to handle situations when they are not under my care, instead of being labeled, write ups and suspended. I would very much like to see something done about this, even with my children not being enrolled in this facility anymore. A professional should not act in such a manner. I’m horrified by my experience.

This facility is horrible. The teacher in the preschool class, Veronica, is very unprofessional and shows favoritism. She discriminated against my daughter because she is nonverbal. Every single day, Veronica said my daughter was hitting or kicking some other kid, but she wasn't. She doesn't at home and every other teacher that dealt with my daughter said she is an angel and has never hit anyone.. because she doesn't. She simply used it as an excuse. I have removed my daughter from this ghetto "preschool".

My kiddo doesn't really like it unfortunately, their schedules don't really seem clear and they seem more bored than anything. Has potential to be great but lacks administration

if i could give this place zero stars i would. they terminated me a WEEK in because i had asked if they had hit my son after he had told me the one teacher had hit him. I had already seen that same teacher a day before snatching a toy away from a little boy i let the front office know and they did nothing. that said they don't allow hitting children but terminated me that same night because i was a "threat" for asking and standing up for my children .

I am removing my daughter as soon as I find new care. They had pickup issues and once left my daughter claiming she wasn't outside when she was, their meals are terrible.....Mac n cheese, ham and cheese sandwiches and cereal and they don't have a nurse on site for medical issues. My sister moved here from GA, and she has a daughter with a seed allergy and egg allergy. They refused to allow her to attend, though they had been notified well over a month in advance before my sister arrived. They didn't even tell her for two or three days after her orientation. Keep in mind that my niece is 12 and can avoid her allergies. They allow peanut allergies but not egg or sunflower seed allergies? Nah, I'm good. I'm removing my child soon, and instead of my sister not enrolling her child, they're losing my business because this is ridiculous.

All 4 of my children go here and we all love it! The teachers helped me potty train my son and they always do fun activies and crafts with them. My kids always have a great time and the staff is sooo welcoming and supportive ?

Pretty upset with this facility.I'm a single mom and was unable to get full-time work due to after-school childcare. I was initially excited for this company to work with me. They do pickup transportation at his school and told me to come in for orientation. I ended up taking a shift off of work and meeting with Tori who was nice, but I said several times during the orientation process that my son was epileptic, and although he hadn't had a seizure in 2 years he had an emergency medication that would need to be administered if by chance he had one on site. Orientation ended, and she said I should expect a call back about being admitted and I was excited. There was no indication that my son and I would be turned down. Being proactive as I was I reached out to Kindercare who had me on there 2023 summer schedule to tell them that I received child care. I called this facility several times a week for up to 2 weeks. I left messages and I didn't hear back from anyone. Finally, someone reached out to tell me that I was denied because they are not certified to administer my son's emergency medication. I was under the impression Colorado daycares legally had to be QMAP certified. Apparently, they are not. Anyway, I'm thoroughly screwed out of child care can't get full -time at my job and due to the poor communication of this facility I now don't have a spot for child care during the summer months, not sure how I'm going to work and pay rent. Additionally, their facility looked pretty dirty. Do better with enrollment services!!!!

My kids attended the north location and the south location.We really liked the north location. My youngest son had a hard time, but they always worked with him, made him feel okay and safe and by the time I would pick him up he would have the biggest smile.. the staff was great and the teachers were amazing.The south location is a different story. When it first started out, it was great. But then all the amazing teachers started leaving and it all went downhill from there. They couldn’t keep a teacher on staff very long and was always a new receptionist. They would ask for a copy of my childrens shot records every 3 months. Like my kids are 2-3-4 they don’t get shots that often. It’s because they lose everything and then blame the parent. And if I didn’t bring a new paper, they would really say I couldn’t bring them.? My daughter was in the 2 year old room and was doing amazing at potty training but they changed teachers weekly so they stopped making her go to the restroom just put a pull-up on ruining the progress made at home. Same with the other classes, they changed teachers too often. And the school agers are a different story but mainly because the staff didn’t really pay attention. One kid was racist and always picked on my daughter and all they would say is we talked to her and her mom it’s not okay, but never did anything else. ? I’ve walked in numerous times where the staff is just on their phones not paying attention. One time a staff member made my kid sneak out the window and go with her in her class just to prove a point that the school age teachers do not watch their kids. Which was always my complaint. And she , the teacher, ended up in trouble for it and not the teachers that don’t ever pay attention just on their phones.. Not all we’re that way, there’s still are some amazing teachers there but they just couldn’t seem to hold on to any and from what I saw it’s because of the actions of directors or other staff members, not because of the children.

My daughter's teacher attempted to take her to the bus today because her dad ran a bit late and from her teacher I got to learn she no longer attends. So that was nice Monday surprise. My daughter loved and hated it here. I hope that moving forward, they work on hiring more employees who are better trained with special needs, autism spectrum disorder. They've tried but they gave up on my daughter kinda last second after she slowly got better to adjusting, a while back they said they'd help find resources and recommendations for me but got nothing.

If you don't want to get a call saying that your child is missing when you left them at school in the morning DO NOT SEND THEM TO SPRINGS OF LIFE.. JUST BECAUSE I FORGOT TO SIGN HER IN ONE TIME ... THE STAFF WAS SOOO LAZY THAT THEY COULDNT GO AND CHECK THE CLASSROOM BEFORE CALLING ME... and springs of LIFE their solution WAS to kick my daughter out of the program... easyway around to solve a problem... I had HER IN that terrible place now I feel quilty as a parent... my daughter WAS getting fed cereal every single day like a dog!!! This place should get shut down....

I have a two-year-old daughter who is going there for a couple months and every single day we come to pick her up there was an incident report of my child being hurt or bitten by another child The daycare didn’t wanna do anything about it so I kept my child home for for one day and try to take her back the following Monday they told me she wasn’t allowed to come back. My child was underneath their care and I thought I could trust them and I could not when my child was bitten the face by another child that was the last straw

Terrible daycare with poor Leadership. I caution anyone considering enrolling their children here.My 7 year old was forced to urinate on herself multiple times because they didn't have the staff to take her to the restroom. They offer bathroom break times as a group and expect these young children to go at that time only. When we brought the issue up for a few weeks afterwards every day the director would have a comment to make and somehow made it the child's fault.Most recently my daughter's arm sustained an injury at the school which we were NOT notified of and picked her up took her straight to the ER. In the 6 days following, she has received 4-5 write-ups that were not warranted (she has only had 1 or 2 over the entire 7 months she has attended prior). She was tapping her hands on table making a horse gallop noise and the director said that was a hand game which they no longer allow hand games since her arm was injured. She was tracing and tapping her hands on the wall saying a song that was called a hand game. The Director is immature and taking every hand gesture she is doing and calling it a hand game and punishing her for it - essentially bullying her since we made an issue of her arm Injury. She has had to sit out field trip for simply tapping on a table. As of Friday, they suspended all of my children indefinitely after I threatened to make a state complaint if they continue to bully my little girl because of their fail.My infant always being left in a bouncer so much so that her head is now misshaped and she is requiring a helmet. No matter the day or time, she is always in the bouncer when we pick her up often times asleep. She was sick for a few weeks requiring oxygen and her head shape improved while at home per our pediatrician but mysteriously got worse again when she returned to daycare. The pediatrician called me and stated her and the therapy team we have believe my infant is being neglected there and given the shape of her head and how quickly it got bad again they believe she is being left to lay the entire time she is there. The director was offended when we inquired with her and brought up the pediatrician concerns to have them addressed.I have gone into the school and numerous times witnessed children hitting other children, kids climbing on the tables standing on them having zero direction. They completely disregard and don't follow several state regulations which I have outlined to them. Their preschool is a joke; there is very minimal education going on and sadly these kids are in no way going to be Kindergarten ready.Please please use caution when considering this daycare as an option. In my opinion they should be shut down or at minimum the current Leadership/Director needs replaced because she is ultimately the problem and the reason this center is in such disarray.****Your childish response further even substantiates what I am saying. I never said her arm was broken in this review; it was bruised swollen and has soft tissue damage per the pediatrician. Her dad thought it was broken which he had every reason to suspect given how it looked and her complaining of it hurting. THE FACT IS YOU ALLOWED MY CHILD TO GET HIT BY ANOTHER CHILD, LET HER SIT WITH THE INJURY ALL DAY WITHOUT CALLING ME AND LIED AND SAID SHE DIDN"T SAY ANYTHING!!!!! Why would someone being concerned that their child's arm is broke when it was clearly swollen and bruised and looked to be hyperextending mean they have mental issues???!!! MY PEDIATRICIAN CALLED ME TO SPECIFICALLY SAY HER AND AN OUTSIDE THERAPIST BELIEVED YOUR DAYCARE IS NEGLECTING MY INFANT but her dad is mentally unstable because he comes to pick our other daughter up and her ARM IS CLEARLY INJURED. Take some accountability and ownership and stop blaming everyone except the person who should take accountability--Your Director!!!!What about allowing my daughter to piss on herself multiple times REFUSING HER THE RESTROOM and then trying to justify it????

My kids have been enrolled in both the before and after school, transportation, and summer programs at the main center on Uintah and overall the experience has been pretty good. There are definitely some communication issues the staff need to work out but all in all, my kids haven't had any real complaints of bullying or any other issues. Some of the other kids can be rowdy and destructive, one kid broke my gift from my son by smashing it on the ground, but a staff member fixed it. I recognize this behavior is not the fault of the staff. The updates they are doing to the building interior and exterior seem to be coming along nicely. They've also been willing to work with me on payments every week, which I am extremely grateful for.
