We had two kids attend here over the past 5 years and had a great experience. All of the people in the building knew our kids names. Teachers and administration were always very friendly and communicative. Honestly the only downside is that their prices are consistent with other area daycares, which unfortunately are very expensive.

Thank you for the great review rating! We’re honored to provide a safe, loving environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
We've had a wonderful experience. One of the biggest things we've appreciated is the very low staff turnover; it says a lot about the environment and gives our child consistency with familiar, caring teachers. Communication has always been excellent, and we're kept informed about what's happening each day. The staff is kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about the children. We're so grateful to be part of such a supportive and welcoming daycare community!

Thank you so much for the positive rating! We truly appreciate your support and are grateful to be part of your child’s care and learning.
Both our 3 year old son and 6 month old daughter go to The Academy ECE and we absolutely love it! The teachers are all wonderful and very attuned to each child’s development and well-being. Since day one, we have felt safe dropping our kids off with them. The communication is also frequent and consistent, and the teachers aim to partner with the parents to support the kids in every way possible. The staff is also incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They plan fun events for families, which really make it feel like a community. We feel so lucky to have found a school in Arvada that we trust and love!

Thank you, Kalon. We appreciate your trust in us every day. Helping children thrive through warm relationships, meaningful learning, and a joyful environment is truly our greatest honor.
We started our daughter at the Academy in May, enrolled in the new Infants program. Miss Janae and Miss Angel have been absolutely wonderful and our daughter is all smiles when we drop her off and pick her up. It’s reassuring to know she is in such good hands. We were at another facility previously, and it’s been a night and day difference in the care, communication and overall experience. We are so happy that we found the Academy and highly recommend it!

We absolutely love this school. The staff does an incredible job keeping the children engaged, using rotating learning themes and daily activities that bring each theme to life—both in the classroom and outdoors around the school.

We are so thankful to the staff at the academy of Arvada. Our daughter loves coming here and is thriving. The staff truly cares about the kids and their families. You are greeted with a positive attitude every single day!
Their teaching approach is well rounded and incorporates the right balance of exploration and focus time. We love that our kiddo has access to a library, gym and movement studio! Great work all around!

I loved it here from our first tour! Every teacher my son has had has been and are so wonderful! He learns so much every day, and I can’t thank the teachers and staff enough for making me feel at ease each time I drop him off.

Thank you, Karina. We are so glad we can provide peace of mind for you and your family!
both my kids ( 1 yr old and 3 yr old) have been with this school for almost a full year and we’ve had nothing but a good experience with this school and its staff. The front office is kind, they host events that build communities and the teachers are really attentive and caring. We love Miss Bella, miss angel and miss Alexis! My kids are learning so much, I plan on continuing with this school and would highly recommend this school to others.

We are so glad we found the Academy for our son! He has really blossomed since starting and genuinely loves going there which is clear from the photos they share each day. The activities are creative and engaging, and we especially love that they have a movement room and gym, such a great bonus for the long winter months. His teachers have been wonderful, and the whole staff creates such a positive and welcoming environment. The administration team made the enrollment process smooth and stress-free for us while we were navigating a switch from another local center. We’re really grateful to have found a place where our kiddo is thriving and feels so supported.
