My daughter has been attending Hope Montessori for almost 3 years and we absolutely love it. All the staff and teachers are passionate and caring. My daughter has learned and grown so much due to her amazing teacher, Miss Natalie. They focus on kids being independent and follow a very educational curriculum. Ive referred my own niece and nephews to Hope Montessori and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a daycare in the area.

Our 2 daughters attended this school for many years, and we were always happy with our experience. Our youngest just finished up and will be heading to kindergarten, and we are sad to end our time at Hope. I was particularly impressed with this facility with their efforts to stay open for essential workers in the beginning of covid when so many other centers were closing. I would highly recommend this school!

We loooove Hope. We have our children there and have been thrilled. Our kids are happy, healthy, are learning, and we feel supported as a family. I love having Hope as a great partner to grow great kids.

We have been with Hope Montessori for a few years now after moving for work and attending a few other schools. Our experience has been wonderful. Their effort and hard work through COVID has been amazing. The teachers in our class are consistent, attentive and create a wonderful environment. Having the same teacher(s) for our daughter has been so helpful during a really stressful 2 years with COVID. Id highly recommend Hope of Broomfield for anyone looking for childcare.

We’ve had both of my sons enrolled in Hope (Broomfield). One just transitioned to kindergarten and we will keep our 2 year old enrolled at Hope. We have not had any issues with either of their classrooms. The teachers have been great, very caring and nurturing. The teachers and directors communicate well with us and keep us filled in with their activities, behaviors, etc. We’ve been there since May and quickly noticed positive changes in our children’s behaviors, especially with things like learning everyday self sufficiency skills. Both of our sons seem genuinely happy to be there. We’ve had our kids enrolled in full time daycare centers since they were infants. So far this is the best care we’ve found. Overall we feel they do a great job!

Our daughter attended this school for almost four years since she was an infant. We started having issues when she was transferred into the Primary classroom. We were receiving incident reports almost daily, and attempted to have regular communication with teachers and staff to try to find solutions. We met with staff, and would create plans to institute at home and in the classroom. We quickly found that these plans were not being carried through in the classroom and felt our efforts were wasted. The communication was almost nonexistent. They recommended getting outside help, but there was no actual direction on what our daughter needed other than having someone observe her in the classroom, which we did and led to no additional recommendations. We performed our own research and set our daughter up in both play therapy and occupational therapy (OT) on our own account. After ongoing sessions, we were landed with a so-called behavioral plan in the last stage (3 strikes and your out), without ever being notified that she was on a behavioral plan in the first place. We felt that the lead teacher was very impatient and not willing to work with our child. Our OT and play therapists were struggling with finding actual issues that needed to be worked on and felt our daughter was exhibiting normal behavior for her age. We provided the teachers with information to reach out directly to our occupational therapist and filled out paperwork with our OT to allow for the teacher to call and coordinate our effort, however, there was not one attempt to make contact. In addition, the teacher turn-over rate is absurd and it seems like we received an email every other month that a teacher was leaving. We decided that this environment was not well suited for our child and we enrolled her in another school. Since our daughter has been at the new school, she has absolutely excelled without any behavioral issues. We highly recommend looking elsewhere.

My son will transition to kindergarten in the fall, and I will be very sad! After almost 6 years of watching my 2 kids learn and thrive at hope, I have nothing but exceptional things to say. The teachers are engaged and genuinely care about their students! During this strange Covid world, they have taken the care to check on us and send unique things home to keep him engaged. He looks forward to going to school and has asked to invite his teachers to his birthday party! If I have questions or concerns, I can reach out and have open communication. This is a happy and enthusiastic learning environment that my family is very thankful for!

My 2/3 year old attended this school for 4 months. At just turning 3, he got placed on a “behavioral plan.” No communication about any recurring behavior issues before this plan. I think the school is managed poorly and the teachers are not supported. Putting aside a dubious policy that puts 2 year olds on behavior plans...If a child has a real issue, his caretakers need to communicate to the parents, which they completely and utterly failed to do. My son has thrived at schools before and after Hope with no behavior or other issues. However, he did not respond well to poorly managed, overcrowded classes. In the 4 months he was there, I also counted over 10 different teachers in his classroom. Not okay, and I am not exaggerating. They simply are not able to retain teachers probably because of how badly the school is managed and the teachers supported*Their response below is unfortunately mostly a blatant lie. Turnover or not, I saw 10+ teachers in my son’s class. There was no communication written or verbal. However, I do have written proof where they admit to a lack of communication. The below is simply a lie and is incredibly unprofessional.

My daughter has been with Hope Montessori Broomfield for almost 3 years and is doing great!! I have been happy with all of her teachers throughout, and she is progressing not just academically, but socially. They emphasize the importance of the whole child which I love! They’ve been very smart and responsible during the Covid pandemic, and I would recommend this Hope location to all parents.

Forget what you have heard about Montessori. Education takes a back seat at this place. The turnover is sickening and you will leave your kids with a New Teacher (stranger) every two or three weeks. You know what they say, those who cant do, teach. Ever wonder what happens to the ones who cant teach? Thats right, they wash in and out of Hope Montessori. If you enroll, you will constantly be saying to yourself: I Hope this new teacher (stranger) is better than the last one. This place is just a snobby La Petite...(BTW most of the comments on here are from employees)

Our son has attended Hope Montessori Academy - Broomfield for the last 2-1/2 years beginning in Nido (infant classroom). Weve had positive experiences with both infant and toddler classrooms between the consistency of his lead & assistant teachers, as well as the development we have seen our son achieve under their care and guidance. COVID has brought some interesting challenges, but we (both us and Hope) have adjusted fairly well considering the circumstances. For example, when certain drop off/pick up restrictions were put in place, communication with our sons teachers was limited. His lead teacher thought to create a teacher/parent journal to pass back and forth to share updates/concerns/etc, which was especially helpful to us considering were currently going through potty training. We also appreciate the support and communication from leadership staff concerning Covid updates & protocols. Aside from working through these challenging times, the entire staff has always been warm and welcoming to our family, and provides a safe learning environment for our son. We would highly recommend their program to other families.

My daughter has thrived in the loving and nurturing environment at Hope Montessori Academy in Broomfield. With its focus on independence, my husband and I are often pleasantly surprised at what she learns in the classroom. Her teachers are so caring, and the administration has really made us feel like were part of a community. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Hope Montessori has been supporting our family for 18 months since our son was 6 weeks old, and I can’t imagine our family without them. The teachers have always been so supportive and patient, and I’ve learned so much from them. My son has thrived, and he learns so much. The team at Hope was incredibly supportive through the transition from the infant classroom to the toddler classroom, and the way they managed the COVID response was incredibly organized, clear, and empathetic to the needs of our family. I cannot express my gratitude for Hope enough. Amazing facility and incredible staff. Thank you!

Our son entered Hope Montessori Academy in Broomfield when he turned 2-1/2. The folks at Hope from the Director and admin staff to the teacher staff in the classroom have been great and responsive and communicative since day-one. Our son has been in 3 different pre-schools since he was 3 months old and were super happy with the program he is getting at Hope. Proof being in the pudding, he is always happy and talkative when I pick him up and that is really the best review I can give.

My daughter recently enrolled in Hope Montessori Broomfield and she comes home with so much exuberance and the light of learning in her eyes every day. The teachers treat children with genuine kindness and respect. Everything is beautiful and wooden and their outdoor space is a wonderful place for kids to interact and use their imaginations. We love it here!

We looked at many schools before deciding to send our son and now daughter to Hope Montessori. There are a few reasons we chose this school.The Montessori approach is wonderful because it allows children to be independent. Children are much more capable than we sometimes realize. Its helped us as parents to encourage our children to be more independent at home as well. Independence boosts self-esteem, creativity, and resilience.Another reason we chose Hope is because the environment and staff. When you walk into the school it is bright and cheery. Most importantly, people are happy. They have a passion for guiding amazing little people into becoming amazing big people.We also love that character development and kindness is valued equally important as learning letters and numbers. Our son was well prepared and thrived in school after leaving Hope and we are confident our daughter will too.

We absolutely loved Hope-Broomfield. Everyone from the support staff to the teachers are truly the most wonderful people. They all genuinely care about each one of those kids, and it shows. A great environment for young minds to grow !

We highly recommend Hope for families with young children. Our daughter is 3 and began at Hope at 18 months old. After touring several schools, we felt that Hope provided the highest level of care and individual attention for our daughter. The teachers are skilled in the Montessori tradition, but also provide nurturing and loving care that helped to make her transition to daycare incredibly smooth. The director, assistant director, and teachers know us and all parents and children by name and they take the extra steps to ensure our daughter is well cared for and learning at an excellent pace. The children all learn to count, read, be self-sufficient, and develop excellent social skills/manners. The facilities feel new and are incredibly clean. We love the personalized attention and couldnt be more happy with our decision to attend Hope!

We have loved this school! We have had two kids in the program over a course of years, and have enjoyed all the staff and teachers! They are well cared for, and the staff is very willing to help with questions or issues that may arise. Our children have learned a lot and made many great friend here! We appreciate all they do! We love the Montessori approach and enjoy the atmosphere it creates. The teachers and staff truly care about the kids, and the classrooms are filled with wonderful things for them to explore! When we first set out looking for a preschool Hope was a clear winner! We are so glad to be part of this program!

I had a wonderfully satisfying experience at Hope-Broomfield for my 6+ years old daughter. I enrolled my daughter for their summer program. My daughter has previously been at Primrose, Hope-Westminster, Goddard schools as well. Here is my detailed feedback for Hope-Broomfield :- The ambience is so open, clean and soothing . It has a positive effect on the mind as soon as you enter there.- The staff and all the teachers are very responsible, loving, caring and affectionate.- As a working mom, I was always relieved to drop my daughter at such an awesome place with such awesome caretakers.-They genuinely care for kids and help in their learning and development.- It is sad that my daughter cannot go back next year as she turns 7 years of age. I wish they had summer camps for older kids too !

Our son has been at Hope since he was 12 weeks old and we absolutely love it. The teachers are welcoming, warm and care deeply about each child and their development. Though it was hard to go back to work, I had full confidence that my child would be well taken care of. All of the staff are incredibly attentive and friendly and passionate about what they do. I also appreciate the additional activities for families and parents to get to know each other.

Our two kids have loved attending Hope Montessori Academy in Broomfield! The facility is very clean and well maintained. Additionally, and more importantly, the staff is friendly and they obviously care about the kids in their classrooms. We have also been very impressed with the skills our kids have developed, which are not limited academics but also etiquette and empathy. We would highly recommend Hope to any family with kids ranging from 6 weeks to 6 years old.

As a teacher, it was hard finding a place for my own children. We are SO happy with Broomfield Hope! Our family has been a part of this school for 7 years. We love the teachers and staff! Our 8 and 6 year old graduated from there and our 1 and a half year old is there now. Our older kids BEG to pick up the little one because they love seeing everyone. The facility is extremely clean, they have excellent communication with families, and the staff really care about all the children.

Our daughter has been going to Hope since she was 15 months old (shes now heading towards 3 years old). We originally had her set to start at the Hope in Westminster but found out that Mrs. Katie, the director had moved over to the Huron St. location and we followed her- wise choice! The building and grounds are great, every room has natural light and the teachers are wonderful. Her toddler teacher, Ms. Nicole is warm, loving, and provides an amazingly organized and structured environment for the kids. Our daughter has thrived in the mixed-age classrooms and we love that she knows (and is known by) so many of the adults who take care of her. Nicole and the assistant teachers have been nothing short of welcoming of us and our questions. Our daughter had just moved to Mrs. Binas primary classroom. She cant wait to go to school in the morning and talks about her teachers, friends and activities. As an educator myself, I am so pleased that Hope is helping my daughter learn to love school and provides a safe Montessori-based foundation for her and her little friends.

We have have been extremely pleased with Hope Montessori in Broomfield. My older son is now in first grade and is excelling at math and reading because of the great start he got at Hope. My younger son is at Hope now and loves going to school! Both of them started there as infants. Weve found the teachers and staff at Hope to be highly competent, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our kids feel loved.

My husband and I toured 4 different day cares, with Hope being the 4th, final, and clear winner. All I wanted was a school that provided early childhood education, wholesome nutrition, and a roster of teachers with whom I could leave my child without any concern.The first day care we visited was like something out of Lord of the Flies. The not-crawling yet babies were mere feet away from the toddlers who were barely monitored by the very young teachers, no activities other than piles of toys being thrown around. And the screaming. Ugh.The second day care was a little more civilized but I made a decision quickly when I saw that the 1 year olds were being fed afternoon snacks of graham crackers dipped in vanilla frosting. Awesome, get the kids sugared up in time for me to pick up my child.The third was close to what I was looking for, more interaction and actual education for the little ones. It still missed the mark on the teacher engagement though.It didnt take bad experiences for me to realize that Hope is a very special place. They start with education even when the kids are little babies, exposing them to different sensory activities. My daughter comes home almost every day with a painting or some fun project they did together.Parents provide lunches and snacks but they make it very clear what snacks they want provided. Being a control freak, I dont mind providing my daughters food. The school ensures that the kids eat well and even have them clean up after themselves, learning good manners. What a concept!Saving the best for last, the teachers! The teachers are fully engaged with each student - even though they are outnumbered, it doesnt ever feel like the kids dont get specialized attention. All the teachers Ive talked to are pleasant, involved and truly care about my daughter. I trust them to care for her and never have to worry about her safety.
