Review №1

We transitioned to KB in April after our previous daycare repeatedly closed and re-opened during the public health issues and had too much teacher turnover for us to feel like we could continue there. Not a great time to be moving care but with my husband and I both working full time in essential fields we had to find another option. So happy we did - KB has been wonderful! Ms. G, Ms. Julia, Ms. Noelly and Ms. Brianna have been amazing with our two kids (ages 1 and 4). The entire staff is warm and kind and have been so dedicated to the kids during this unique time. The center follows public health orders seamlessly and is very committed to cleanliness and keeping everyone healthy and safe. They have created a full schedule of fun daily themes for the summer and have awesome communication with families (love the app for daily pics and updates too). We are extremely happy with our experience here and are grateful for the hardworking staff that makes this such a nice place for kiddos.

Stapleton Knowledge Beginnings has been my daughters home away from home since she was 2 years old. Shes 4 now. The quality of the staff is the absolute best part of SKB! They are kind, professional, and really enjoy working with children. Ms. Julie and the preschool program matches or exceeds any school-based ECE program. My daughter has learned so much! Additionally, SKB has been an emergency site during the toughest part of the pandemic. They continually review their safety procedures to stay up-to-date with the latest recommendations. I cant say enough about the professionalism, reliability, and responsiveness of SKB!

Our daughter has been here for a year now. Thanks to the loving teachers in the toddler and two class rooms, she grows happily and learns fast. I really appreciate that they introduce different cultures to the class, so that kids start to learn it early. And they are always the last day care to close for the winter weather, which release a lot of stress from us, as busy working parents. Our co-workers are always jealous.

Our daughters have been attending this day care since they were infants and I highly recommend it! Our daughters consistently come home happy and healthy and that is all I can ask for. If I had to pick the best part about it, its the staff in the newborn/infant rooms. Always happy to see the kids and playing with them. We are sad to go and highly recommend it.

Have had nothing but the best experience with everyone at Knowledge beginnings. My daughter loves the teachers shes had and usually doesnt want to leave at the end of the day :) They have great extra curricular activities on site so kids can enjoy things like sports, gardening, reading, STEM etc while at school and not have to go off hours.

We love this daycare for our 2 yr old son. Hes been there for over 6 months, and changed classrooms since hes been there. Weve loved both of his teachers, they feed the the kiddos good foods, they have a teaching curriculum, and I feel like hes safe and cared for. Ms. G the head administrator is amazing, and has been really flexible and understanding with us. Were really happy with this place.

My son transitioned to Day Care for the first time at 1 year old and we chose to send him to Knowledge Beginnings. This was such a great decision! The staff in his room, as well as the admin staff, were all incredibly helpful in his transition. It felt like everyone in the building cared about how he was doing and how the transition was going. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the transition he was going through and helped to reassure me that he (and I) were having normal reactions to Day Care for the first time. After a couple weeks my son got acclimated to his new normal and started loving his time at Day Care every day.It has now been a few months and I see his care givers (Miss Naomi and Miss Breanna) doing something awesome and different with him every day. I have seen reading circles, dancing time, gardening time, treasure hunts, and several art projects. Also, every day when I pick my son up his caregivers provide great details about his sleeping/eating/emotions which tells me that they spend a lot of time invested in him throughout the day.We made a fantastic decision with our choice of day care center and I am so excited for my son to continue to learn at Knowledge Beginnings!

I told Ms. G, the director, that I wanted to write a review because I really like SKB but was worried if I did that everyone would find out about this Hidden Gem! Great Facility: Cute and Clean. Faculty: Very Friendly and Welcoming. Schedule: One of the few places in town that have a part-time option, great hours, and realistic waitlist.

Everyone at Stapleton Knowledge Beginnings is so warm and friendly. We have had our daughter and son at various different Stapleton daycare centers and like this one the most. We know that if the staff are happy, our children will be too!

Our son goes here and the staff have been amazing. At first like any new place our child was little nervous and after about 2 weeks he cant wait to visit Miss Vanessa and Miss Cindy. He is excited to go to school in the the morning. The teachers give you a little write up of what the kids did that day. They do little events during the day to keep the kids happy and teach them. Within a few weeks our 1 year olds vocab started growing. This was really cool to watch.

We had a positive experience at Knowledge Beginnings. Our daughter thrived while in the toddler rooms, and I always felt good about dropping her off in a clean, safe, highly-accredited classroom. She was exposed to a number of wonderful activities, from reading, to making art, and making music. Miss Vanessa, in particular, is a wonderful teacher.

Stapleton Knowledge Beginnings is a fantastic daycare for our 1-2yo son. Ms Gricelda, the manager, could not be better suited for her job. She has an amazing heart and passion for the kids, the parents/families, and her staff members. She is able to play an incredible balance so that everyone has what they need despite specific situations. She ensures everyone is happy even if she needs to intervene or help lend a helping hand. The hours are great 0630-630p (longest around the area) and the teachers do sooo many things everyday to help our kids learn, laugh, play, and explore. My kid doesn’t want to leave when we pick him up (best sign that he is in a good place and having fun and feels safe all day!). We are very happy with Stapleton Knowledge Beginnings!! Thank you for taking such great care of our kids and helping them develop into curious and well-mannered learners!

We have been with KB now for over a year. Our son started when he was only 6 weeks old. The management has been very helpful with us. There was a time period where there was some high turn over issues with the staff but that has all been resolved and we are very happy with the current staff. We love the outdoor play areas and all of the activities that our son gets to do.

I’m not sure what some the previous grumbling is about. We’ve had a great experience with Knowledge Beginnings. Our toddler son had a hard time transitioning to daycare initially and they were very patient with him. He now loves daycare and I’m pretty sure he prefers going to to daycare over staying home. He smiles when we pull up and often wants to stay and play when I come to pick him up.The management is also very responsive and involved. I often see the director Ms. G in the classrooms. She promptly replies to e-mails.Another thing I like are the personalized daily reports. We know how our son slept, what he ate, and what he did that day.Finally, logistically, their hours are awesome, and they are often open on holidays that other daycares are closed. I hear from friends all the days their daycares are closed and feel bad for them! We recommend Stapleton Knowledge Beginnings!

I have been with KB for over 2 years now and I am very happy. My daughter loves going to school every morning. There is diversity in classmates and teachers, the facilities are nice with lots of natural light and spacious playground. They basically taught my daughter to be a better sleeper and potty trained her in record time. Staff turnover is an issue in all daycares, not just KB. However, if that happens, the administration has been extra careful to ensure as much continuity as possible. Leaving your child with someone else while you go to work will always be difficult, but I have confidence in KB.

Our kids both started at KB when they were 12 weeks old. We have found them to have very flexible hours and are open when a lot of other daycares or schools are closed, which is huge for us as two working parents. The teachers clearly love the kids and the director is very involved and available. Minimal teacher or administrative turnover in the last few years in our experience. There are lots of extra activities during the day as well, including soccer, cooking class and gardening, so we can add enrichments for the kids and not take up valuable evening or weekend time. Overall, we have been very happy with our experience there and would recommend it.

The center staff did NOT take a head count when on a field trip at Coors Stadium. My son Zach was left alone during bathroom time. He walked out from the restroom and began to cry when he realized his class was gone. Later, a security officer found him and was able to get him back with his class. The center NEVER told me about the incident. Three days later my children told me. I immediately emailed the director. That following Monday the director told me to call Jackie and she would tell me about the incident. Neither the director nor Jackie took responsibility for what happened. Needless to say, I WOULD NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTATNCE TAKE MY CHILDREN BACK TO THAT PLACE.

Knowledge Beginnings as a school was ok. We were pleased with the care our child received. This is the end of our positive experience.Three months after withdrawing our child, which was properly documented per their rules, we received a letter from a collection company stating that we owed an additional amount. This amount does not even match the weekly amount charged while at the school!! We had contacted Knowledge Beginnings and Kindercare (parent company) after the first erroneous bill, and we were told that we dont owe anything and that this was no longer an issue. We were told that this was all documented and we were done. Well, three months later the collection company comes calling. We are still trying to get this resolved with very little help from anyone there. It is beyond frustrating dealing with the management of this establishment!I will update my review if there is a resolution to this terrible mistake, but until then I cannot recommend doing business with Knowledge Beginnings. I would give them zero stars if that was an option.

We have had numerous issues with the Knowledge Beginnings in Stapleton. Our son started attending the center in July 2012 and was with a teacher we really liked. A month later she was let go and our son was moved to classroom that he was really unhappy in, so we had him moved again. Once he was settled in that room, the teacher left and he got a new teacher who I was very unhappy with and who was later let go for leaving a one-year-old unattended outside on the playground. He then moved up to the 2-year-old classroom and we were really happy with the teachers and room, but once again, his teacher left because she wasnt being treated fairly at the center. While all of this was going on, 2 directors came and went and one was rumored to be embezzling money. Also, there were many days when the classrooms were way over ratio and my child was really uncomfortable because it was really chaotic. One day it was so bad that I didnt feel comfortable leaving him and took him back home. Shortly after that incident I pulled him out. When I called to have his things put aside, the assistant director was incredibly cold and rude to me. My neighbor who has twin 2-year-olds also toured the center and she told me that the staff was very rude on the tour.

My child was enrolled here for about 8 weeks at about 18 months of age. It was horrendous. I couldnt get him into a new location fast enough. During this 8-week period, he was bitten or injured (fingers slammed in doors, hit by other kids, etc) SEVEN times. It got to the point where I was considering having child services investigate. Luckily, we got out of that situation and havent looked back. We didnt meet a single teacher that we liked (or that liked our kid). The whole experience was nightmarish.

I do not frequently write reviews, but I had such a negative experience that I hope this will help someone considering KB.Being first time parents, we had no idea the daycare supply in Denver is way behind demand. It should have been a red flag when KB immediately had a spot open in the infant room with no waitlist.We enrolled my son there when he was 3-4 months (2 months total) from Sept-Oct 2015. One teacher was caring and competent, but the other teacher was clueless. Whenever I asked questions or asked for her to implement a change she couldnt seem to grasp what I was saying. Management was AWFUL. My son came home every day looking terrible and lifeless and would pass out for a 2 hour nap. I was extremely worried about him. It didnt seem his basic needs were being met.The straw that broke the camels back: About 5-6 weeks in my 3 month old only napped a total of 45 minutes over 10 hours!!!!! (a newborn should be napping 2 hours BARE MIN!) When I approached management they blew me off, didnt look me in the eye and showed no concern. In short, poor management and lack of strong teachers made me leave there as fast as I could.We have since moved to Monarch Montessori and it is a night and day difference. If you are concerned about your child, follow your gut. In my opinion teachers and management is what makes or breaks a daycare

They offer nothing above and beyond any other day care except maybe Spanish and charge 380 dollars per week. Elitist and not worth it.
