Foundations Early Childhood Education - Arvada, Colorado

Farewell_ T.

Where do I start? This center is absolutely amazing! The teachers are amazing and strive to build the ‘Foundation’ to each child for early learning and education. The owner- Krissy, is a ray of sunshine and is always eager to make her center the best it can be. I had my 3 year old start there a year ago and she has grown exponentially in her verbalizing and communication as well as strong building blocks to start her continuous education up to elementary school. This is so important for young ones to have an inclusive - one-on-one education tailored for each child. That’s a rarity as I have had many of my children in ECE and none come remotely close to this center.

Bottom line, no one is perfect. No center is perfect. But where this one differs is the CARE in which takes place to at least TRY to make it as ‘perfect’ as possible.
All the teachers at this center deserve to know that they are appreciated, and loved by so many children(And parents for that matter). The impact they leave upon them is nothing short of doing Gods work.

I am a Colorado Certified Teacher with a Master’s Degree in elementary education. I have worked with pre-k12 students as well as eldercare in both public and private spheres for over 25 years.

I recently worked as an assistant at Foundations and after 3 days I knew I couldn’t be a part of this program. As a parent I would never place my child in their care.

Children need to feel genuinely acknowledged, respected, cherished and heard. During my short time assisting at Foundations, I witnessed a culture of yelling, over-correcting, sarcasm, and shaming. Emotional and verbal abuse was prevalent.

I want to thank the leadership team for openly listening to my concerns. If they are dedicated to positive change, they just might rebuild the 5-star review daycare that they have had in the past. For now, I give them a single star and wish them the tenacity and courage to honor the children and families that they serve.

The owners and the teachers of Foundations are incredibly sweet, thoughtful and attentive. They send out weekly lesson plans and our son comes home saying new words almost every day. Our almost 2 year old has loved this daycare so much. He is safe, loved, and well cared for, what more can you ask for? All of the bad reviews are from the vaccine policy, which, as a healthcare professional, I completely understand and agree with.

We highly recommend Foundations. They are caring and wonderful with our kiddo and flexible and understanding of our childcare needs. Our daughter spent a year in the one year old room and flourished. The teachers are truly gifted and made her feel instantly at home. Every day that she went to school, she was excited to learn and see Miss Cindy. She loved the experience and we loved knowing that she was in great hands. If you can secure a spot with them, you will not be disappointed.

New Foundations is the best daycare center in Denver! They are family owned and truly care about the children.
I would highly recommend them to anyone they are have a routine with crafts, letters, sensory, water days with sprinklers and even bring in a soccer coach for 3 years and up! This is the best daycare! VERY CLEAN which is so important, my son has not been sick since starting.

When I was looking for care options for our daughter in December I was nervous. We had wanted a nanny, but that didn't work out. So I decided, hesitantly, to look at daycare centers. Foundations is right between my house and office, so I stopped in more as "well, it would be convenient". And I immediately fell in love with the people. Everyone is so loving and kind and caring. The children love them, and love what they do there. My daughter was very introverted and shy. She used to get very upset and overwhelmed in places with lots of people. They were so nice to let her gradually ease into being there. They were excellent with how easily she was upset by new people. And after only a few months, all those problems were gone. She's still an introvert, but she can do crowds and new people just fine. She can walk up and say hi to kids. They don't make her get involved with the rowdy kids (and make sure that they don't overwhelm her). They do so much art and fun and reading. Some mornings my 16 month old doesn't even cry when I leave her (which kind of makes me sad). She is always happy and engaged when I get there. Often I have to tear her away from what she is doing because she is so engaged. They don't have the fancy extra rooms that some of the other places do, but they more than make up for it in love and excitement and deep caring about the children. The people are more important than the stuff. I am so glad that we found Foundations.

Kudos to the management of this facility for standing up for kids' safety in the face of lunatic parents and hit pieces in the news. For every deranged parent losing their mind over this daycare's post-vaccination policy, there are 5 normal parents, like myself, who agree and understand why this policy is in place. Stay the course and don't cave to the cancel culture pressure. Let them find another place to take their kids.

Love Foundations. I have 3 kiddos and among the 3, we have been in infant, toddler 1, toddler 2, preschool and preK. Cannot say enough about the owner and her lovely family. I drive from Denver to Arvada only to go back to Denver for work. It is worth it!
