The Early Language Learning Academy - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

My child absolutely loves it here!
The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about each child’s well-being. They go above and beyond to keep the kids engaged with a wide variety of fun, educational activities that stimulate their creativity and curiosity. Whether it's arts and crafts, outdoor play, or interactive learning, the children are always entertained.

One of the things I appreciate most is the attention to nutrition. The meals and snacks provided are well-balanced, nutritious and delicious! My child eats!!!

Overall, ELLA has exceeded our expectations in every way. I feel confident knowing my child is in such capable hands. If you're looking for a daycare that truly puts children first, I highly recommend ELLA!

Every parent knows that choosing a daycare is not an easy task. I can say with confidence that I am very glad I picked ELLA for my little one. My son has been attending for 4 months. He is 18 months now. Teachers are very attentive and genuinely caring. I like that there is a variety of age-appropriate activities that kiddos are engaged in regularly. They play outside every day; meals are well balanced and freshly prepared daily.

It is great that our son learns Russian and is exposed to traditions. I believe it is very important to know other languages and cultures even if you are not of Slavic descent.  It enriches our daily life and the life of our kids. Extra bonus to already great childcare.

The cost is reasonable for the quality of care, and they have multiple locations.

Highly recommended!

We waited a little over a year to get our daughter into ELLA and it was worth the wait. It feels like we are leaving our child with family every day–both because of how the staff greet/welcome each child and because of the home cooked meals.

We are so grateful to the staff for their positivity, welcoming environment, and flexibility in scheduling when needed. Now that our daughter is starting potty training, we feel even more appreciative of her teachers for their endless patience and hard work.

Logistically, the school's extended hours and all food provided are amazing benefits.

ELLA is such a local gem. It's a rarity to immerse our kid in Russian/Ukrainian language, food, and culture while living in Colorado. My only complaint is that there aren't more locations! Thank you ELLA staff for being so great.

We absolutely love ELLA! Our son has been attending since he was 14 months old, and he's still thriving at almost 2. The attention they give to his needs, development, and engaging activities is outstanding. Our son always has the biggest smile when we arrive, which speaks volumes about the wonderful experience he has there. The staff is exceptional, creating a nurturing environment where our little one feels safe and happy. We highly recommend Ella daycare to any parent looking for a loving and enriching childcare center.

Our daughter has been going here for a year and a half and we are waiting for our son to join as well.
The owner and director Elena is a great communicator. We love home cooked meals with organic dairy and meat, thoughtful and engaging activities including age appropriate daily lessons as well as extras such as music lessons from a professional music teacher, teachers speak and teach proper Russian language - these are just a few highlights of this wonderful daycare.

Our older daughter graduated from The Early Language Academy after attending for 3 years, and the younger daughter has been there for 4 years. We and our daughters have enjoyed the great teachers and the low teacher turnover, homemade meals, the outdoor play and fun activities, and the instruction in both languages. Most importantly, the teachers really care and it feels like our childen are staying with relatives, instead of a daycare. Both our daughters developed a sense of community and belonging while attending, and are always excited to come back here. I would highly recommend this daycare for parents who want their children to speak both Russian and English.

My son started going to ELLA when he was 10 months old. I could tell the teachers watching him cared for him. We stayed with the school until my son was ready for kindergarten because we always had the peace of mind that our little guy was in good hands. My son loved going to the school and as we left has insisted that we’ll visit his teachers as he will miss them. If you are looking for a great school, ELLA is an amazing choice.

ELLA! ELLA! ELLA! My husband speaks Russian, and I have been studying the language for over six years. We want our daughter to speak the language as best as possible, so we’ve enrolled her at ELLA. She started attending three days per week in August 2019, and every week we find that we like the place more and more. The care is amazing. My daughter often runs to greet the teachers and other kids. The food is great; the lunches include a variety of real Russian food made in house. The kids get to work on a variety of crafts, with special ones during holiday seasons. The part time scheduling options are very useful for our family’s needs. Finally, we love watching our daughter learn Russian from the teachers and by interacting with other kids her age who are also speaking the language. We love ELLA, and we recommend it for anyone looking for high-quality care.
