The Ohana School of Early Learning - Littleton, Colorado

Updated Review: 8/26/24

My son graduated from Ohana school of Early Learning this summer. We are so grateful for the care and education we received. The teachers were patient with us and passionate about their jobs. We loved having the opportunity to be a part of both the Pre-K and Pre-K Plus classrooms. Our son has started kindergarten and is well prepared because of the curriculum and instruction received at Ohana.

Previous Review- Summer 2023.

We have been so grateful for Ohana. We have experienced the infant B, 3s, and pre-k class. My son has learned so much in Pre-K and the teachers really care about the kids and take so much pride in teaching them to be successful. We love the infant B teachers. They love our daughter so well and do it with a smile. We are grateful to have a safe and welcoming place for the kids to go while we work.

*Update in response to Ohana’s response — That is inaccurate. I did not consent to you posting information about my family’s application. Again, further justifies my review below.

This center has certainly earned much less than a 1 star rating, which quite frankly, is far too generous, based on our family’s experience. We placed our child on their waitlist nearly 2 years ago. At the time, we were told it was “highly likely” that he would be able to start with them within the next year or two. Well, the time came for their “school year”(both times) and after being told we would be informed by the end of March if he made it, which actually, took ME making multiple calls to find out well into April, and then never receiving a confirmation call from them, we learned he was on the waitlist in the SAME position slot that he was when we signed him up. We also learned that if you know someone (e.g. referral) or already have kids here, you’re placed ahead of those on the waitlist. How inconsiderate to those who took the time years prior to sign up and wait to find out if they even made it into the daycare. The staff rarely answers the phone and are very snooty when speaking with them about any questions you have as to where you are on the waitlist. They don’t return calls, at least, not in our experience with them. I assume the daycare will respond to this rating but I will say now, *there are privacy rules, so any response from them on here with any particular information about my family will be a violation of the privacy act.* The other 1 star rating on here is VERY accurate. This center really needs to think about how they treat potential families - this is certainly not the “Ohana” way. Luckily, we found a MUCH better daycare and preschool. We were impressed with the other location’s staff, communication and facility. Do yourself (and your family/child ) a favor, don’t waste your time with this place if you’re on the waitlist. You’ll find a better facility with a more respectful, communicative staff elsewhere. This places earned 0 stars but unfortunately, Google made me select 1, which is much too generous for them.

We have had such an incredible experience with each class and teacher at Ohana. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my child is really well taken care of while I'm at work. Our kiddo has learned so much and cares deeply for the teachers. Every teacher seems to genuinely enjoy their work and care for all of their kids. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality daycare!

We love Ohana! We have been with them since 2019 and have nothing but great things to say. The teachers are amazing and care so much. My kids love going to daycare and I never have any concerns dropping them off. I would 100% recommend Ohana!

Putting both of our children in Ohana has been the absolute best decision! Our kids did not want to attend daycare and the entire staff turned their perspective around in no time at all! It baffles me that every single person at Ohana knows their name and makes us all feel so loved and welcome every day. Thank you, Anne Marie and staff. We could not imagine putting our children in a more loving establishment than yours.

Our daughter went to Ohana from the time she was an infant until pre-K and we loved this facility. The teachers are amazing; they genuinely care and do an excellent job. The leadership supports staff development and training which is evident with their low staff turnover. Ohana has their own chef who makes many of the meals from scratch and the center is clean and welcoming. They even have special clubs such as music and pee wee sports to supplement their curriculum. We will dearly miss Ohana, we had such a wonderful experience!

My grandson has been in this preschool for a week and I feel blessed we found this school and he was admitted. I feel this is the right school for him. Also, not every preschool is right for every family and child. If Ohana is your preferred choice, don't give up.

There are several really goos schools out there and I found that for the really good schools, there is always a wait list; sometimes a year or more.

But, also take the time to look at all of the options. You will be glad you did.

We toured several daycare facilities for our daughter and we are so glad we chose Ohana! Their curriculum balances play with education in a way that makes learning fun. I know our daughter is in great hands there! She has been there since infancy and is now in their Pre-K program. Her development has been phenomenal and we have Ohana to thank for this!
