The Big Red Barn Early Learning Center - Lakewood, Colorado

This is an amazing little school! The environment is warm, nurturing, and truly dedicated to fostering growth. The owner is kind and approachable, and the teachers—especially Maisey and Sage—are exceptional. They give individual attention to each child, ensuring their unique needs are met in a loving, caring way.

I’ve seen my kid thrive here, as the teachers have established wonderful routines that blend fun and learning. They also place a strong emphasis on independence, encouraging children to take on everyday tasks like washing hands, dressing themselves, and cleaning up, all while building their confidence and skills. I’m so grateful for this wonderful school and the wonderful educators who make it such a special place!

We are absolutely thrilled with the care our 3-month-old son receives at the Big Red Barn Early Learning Center! From the very first day, we felt a sense of comfort and trust in the staff and the environment they create.

The caregivers are incredibly nurturing, patient, and attentive, always ensuring that our little one feels safe and loved. They take the time to understand his individual needs and routines, making the transition to daycare smooth and stress-free for both him and us.

The facility is spotless, secure, and thoughtfully designed to provide a stimulating yet soothing environment for infants. The play areas are well-equipped with age-appropriate toys that encourage development and sensory exploration.

One of the aspects we appreciate the most is the open and consistent communication. We receive daily updates, photos, and notes about our son's activities, feedings, and naps, which keeps us closely connected to his day. It's wonderful to see how much he smiles and engages with the caregivers and other babies.

The Big Red Barn team goes above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Their dedication to providing high-quality care and their genuine love for the children shine through in everything they do.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll our son at the Big Red Barn Early Learning Center. It’s reassuring to know he is in such capable and loving hands. We highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for exceptional care for their infant. Thank you, Big Red Barn, for giving our son the best possible start!

I can’t say enough about how amazing BRB is and I am so grateful that we found them! As a toddler, my son struggled with a speech delay and some challenging behaviors. Many other schools would have left us on our own to find outside supports and likely would have asked him to leave the school, but not BRB. They instead connected us with a speech therapist and behavioral supports that provided interventions for him directly in the classroom. Through all of his challenges, the BRB staff have loved him and supported our family. Their curriculum is not only incredible academically but also incorporates much social emotional curriculum, which has helped him to learn and grow in so many ways. He has truly become the best version of himself thanks to their wonderful, hard working staff and I know that couldn’t be in better hands.

They also have date night child care for parents one Saturday a month and foster a sense of community by hosting fun events throughout the year like trunk or treat, chili cook offs, grandparents tea party etc.

Going to the Big Red Barn for daycare has been such a gift. As new parents, my husband and I really struggled with the idea of daycare. But from the first day at Big Red Barn they treated us as if we were family. My son loves going to daycare and I feel so grateful dropping him off knowing that he will receive exceptional care. The owner, teachers, and staff are so positive and friendly that they always brighten our day. I could go on forever about how wonderful they are. Sending our son to the Big Red Barn has been one of the best parenting decisions we’ve made!

Moving to a new school can be scary for parents and kids. Even more so when the school itself is new. So when our expectations were far exceeded, and our little one is beyond happy - the transition was very worth it. The Big Red Barn has been a warm hug and the teachers have been so caring and kind. The owner is very on top of everything and communicative. This is our 3rd school as our little one aged out and we moved and has been the best of everything. I am a big fan of conscious discipline and the teaching philosophy / structure has our little guy learning so much! I can't say enough great things and excited for baby 2 to have a spot in the future. It's soo nice to be able to send siblings to the same program. We love Big Red Barn!

My husband and I recently had our first daughter and wanted to find a wholesome, loving, and safe daycare for her. We were endlessly searching for the right fit and when we toured The Big Red Barn, we just knew this was the place for Savannah. Over the last few months of Savannah attending The Big Red Barn, we have come to love the caregivers and this early learning center. It is so family oriented and you can feel the love when you step in the front doors. They focus on our daughter’s growth and development in various ways, including her spiritual growth, which we absolutely love. They keep us updated throughout the day in regards to her naps, toileting, and feedings and send us pictures daily. I can’t recommend The Big Red Barn enough!

One of the hardest things about being a working parent is finding the right childcare. The Big Red Barn has truly exceeded our expectations and not only made it less difficult, but has made it a truly wonderful experience for us and our daughter. Our little one looks forward to drop off every morning... and even asks to go on weekends! The teachers and staff at the Big Red Barn are some of the most kind and caring people you will ever meet. The school focuses on safety, kindness, accountability, reliability, community, parent engagement and overall just raising wonderful humans. We don't know what we would do without the Big Red Barn.

This has been the daycare of our dreams. We were bounced around in our child's first year through an in home daycare closing, leaning on friends and family and an few months at a larger center we were quick to get out of. The first day at The Big Red Barn made me feel like we could finally relax.

The staff is so friendly and communicative. They make time to talk to you at drop off and pick up to answer questions, catch up or express any of their own concerns. They also genuinely seem to want to be there and are rested and energetic. The smaller group sizes definitely help with the staff feeling less overwhelmed and I feel like our child is getting the attention he deserves while still learning in a group environment. Incidents are reported as quickly as possible and not just when we pick up. We get notes through out the day of what our kiddo is up to and they respond back quickly if I message something in. I appreciate that everyone from the owner, to the people at the front desk, to the primary teacher and the support teachers in my child's class all know what is going on with my child. So I feel like if I tell one person something, they will get that to everyone so my child is taken care of.

From an educational perspective, they do a great job of incorporating art, music, movement, physical skills and social skills into each day. Even when our child was in the infant classroom they were learning new skills. There is also a large focus on the children learning how to be safe in interacting with each other, both physically and emotionally.

We are so happy to be here and will be sad when we have to leave as we age out in the future. Ashley, Gemini, Dom, Hailey, Kathleen and the rest of the team are just amazing. Our child loves going to school each day and always has a smile on their face when we pick them up.
