I honestly can not speak highly enough about Our Village. The teachers and staff are so wonderful. The communication is 10 stars in my opinion. We moved to the area a few months ago and are just overwhelmed with the care Our Village gives to our daughter. There is no comparison!

My son has been to three different daycare centers now, this was the second. I felt very confident sending my son there but over time I started to realize how truly bad this place is. As someone who used to work in childcare for 7 plus years I have never seen a school bribe parents with free vacation days for positive reviews. disgusting. The preschool teacher, Margot, just screams at your child all day long and doesnt even teach! They also do not have leads in classrooms! A lot of their staff (when my son was attending) we not leads but assistants which is not up to licensing standards. I wouldnt send my child here if it was my last option in all honesty.

WARNING DO NOT PLACE YOUR CHILD HERE! It took a while for me to decide how and when to write this; Or if I should write it at all as I know the effects it can’t have on a business. Unfortunately, when I have weighed out the pros and cons of this school the cons outweighed the pros and I believe people should be aware of my interaction with this “school.” My son started with OVCA In February 2021 He was in the 3 yr old classroom and he was doing ok at best —except for every day I would pick him up he would have a soiled diaper, sand and dirt in his hair and clothes (which I provided a change for every single day in his book bag) and in the summer time constantly over heated. My son was also not given water appropriately and I would pick him up and he would be begging for water and saying “I’m sooo thirsty.” Dehydration has so many ill effects on humans I can’t even begin to describe how many and I hope you watch your children if they are attending or will if you do decide to go with this school which I highly advise against. After 5 months of being with OVCA my son was still not potty training although I informed them from the very beginning (which they later denied of course 😂) that it was something we were working on with my son and they later ALSO attacked my son stating “he didn’t know how to dress or undress himself.” They came to me after 5 months and said they want to put him in a bigger classroom because he is almost 4 although this was requested in May and my son turns 4 in September. I accepted with doubts but they assured me that once he was there potty training would come easier because of the other children etc. The final straw for me was when I picked up my son with a full diaper of BM and they said “oh it must’ve just happened” as they were begging me to allow them to change him. I refused and changed him myself where you could clearly see the irritation and rash left from the prolonged soiled diaper on my son’s bottom. I addressed all of these items with the owner of the school Paul Doucette and he decided to once again blame my 3 year old for the negligence of his staff. My son is in a brand new school and was potty trained — I swear on everything— within 3 days of attending an appropriate preschool. I have never picked him up dirty or overheated or dehydrated. He is well fed, well cleaned and well cared for. I wish this for everyone. Good luck!OVCA do not bother responding to this review some ridiculous response you need to take responsibility for your actions as you are caring for children and you need to be held accountable.

This childcare center has been amazing for my daughter. I moved to colorado during the height of Covid not knowing anyone or anything about the areas. I struggled to find a center still open until I came across OVCA and started my 1.5 year old who had never been in childcare before. I stressed every second knowing she would have a super hard adjustment and worried about her. The amazing staff kept me up to date through their amazing app with live updates and also gave me honest and thorough updates on her day at pickup. One of the most amazing parts was knowing that they genuinely cared and I was able to have that face to face interaction with them and see what she was doing at pickup which I know is hard to find nowadays. Within a week my daughter was THRIVING. Sleeping on a cot without a pacifier which she had NEVER done and not crying during pickup and drop off. She has been at OVCA now for a year and in 2 different classrooms. The care remained incredible. She loves going to school and telling me all about her day and friends. She has also learned so much Spanish and I’m so thankful they learn different languages and cultures! Not to mention they go above and beyond with sooo many activities for the kids! I couldn’t reccomend OVCA enough! Andrea and Taylor are incredible and so caring. You can go to them with any issue. The staff is also so nice. I can’t say enough good things! I will always recommend this place to everyone!

I moved from Florida and did a lot of research when looking for a daycare that was good in reviews and had an opening for an infant. From the moment I met all the ladies at OVCA, I knew that I wanted to have my baby in their daycare. The experience since enrollment has been nothing but great. All their teachers are wonderful and very caring with the kiddos. I also love that they have Spanish speakers in their facility. My concern when I moved to CO was that my baby won’t learn Spanish. Thank you Ms. Devin, Ms. Andrea, Ms. Hilda, and Ms. Cynthia for all you do!

We have been going to Our Village Children’s Academy for over a year now and absolutely love it. When we first dropped off our son, we were both kind of hesitant to drop him off being first time parents and having our son be away from us for the first time. Andrea and her staff made us feel at ease, with the constant updates of our son’s day and answering our messages very quickly. Our son loves going there and we feel very grateful to have found this daycare. Wonderful job to all you guys.

This is my sons third daycare and he just turned 1 so its been a bit of a challenge trying to find a place that I feel safe leaving him for some hours and I can honestly say the third time is the charm! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is wonderful and it definitely feels like another family. Im so happy I found this place and my son loves it there and everyone there as well. The moment you walk in you will feel the love and it smells amazing! Im excited to enroll my next kiddo in next year. Seriously a great place if you are looking for a daycare. Safe and clean and friendly. 😊

BEST childcare center ever!!!! Bring your kids here I promise you will not regret it. I love all of the teachers and staff at Our Village. They make sure feel amazing about our choice of having our little one there. We don’t have family here and so we rely heavily on Our Village to care for our kiddo and they do a great job! They’re extremely accommodating and patient with us (first timers lol). Love love love Our Village!

We love bringing our little guy here (3.5 months). After a bad experience with a home daycare, this place and staff were so refreshing. I can finally relax and go to work peacefully. Plus, it’s very affordable!

We cannot be more thankful for Our Village Children’s Academy! When we quickly needed to find part time care, they responded, within minutes, to my initial contact and have been the best ever since. Our somewhat clingy son now LOVES school and we are so happy to know that he is having a blast and learning so much! He has come home with an extensive vocabulary, manners, and new skills like sharing! The teachers and administrators are simply the best and we have only had wonderful interactions with all of them! They are flexible, supportive, and just generally great people. Thank you!!

I love this school! Our 1.5-year-old son has been going here part time since they opened and he is so happy every time we pick him up. It is clean, spacious and they a have a big outside playground where the kids can run around. The teachers are very personable, and he gets lots of individual attention. They use the Brightwheel app to send updates and photos throughout the day, so we know how long he slept, what he ate etc which is very helpful. Definitely recommend it!

The staff treats our son like their own! We are so grateful for the love and care he receives. We receive updates on his well being and pictures throughout the day. Being away from our little one is hard but the staff makes us feel at ease! We are so happy we found OVCA.

First of all I would like to say this Center is more than just a Childcare center; its an educational and loving environment. My son has been at this center since he was 8 weeks old, he is now one and he absolutely loves all the teachers! He has learned so much at OVCA. At only one years old he has picked up on sign language and is currently picking up on his native language as well. I couldnt be more happy my son being a part of this educational center. I consider these lovely teachers family for loving my son!

So grateful that my daughters both go here. My oldest attended Montessori, and we felt like our daughter was just money for them. We left Montessori for several reasons and put her here at OVCA with her younger sister. This school is amazing, the staff is wonderful. My oldest is happier at OVCA than attending Montessori. Shes a kid and loves life! Thank you OVCA, youre amazing!!! My husband and I know that our girls are in great hands coming here. Truth be told, they care about their students. You can tell the staff just LOVE every kid. Warms our hearts.

Update: My son has attended for almost two years now. I am still so very pleased I selected OVCA. The teachers are fabulous, the center is top-notch, and they consistently go above and beyond. You will not find better, more loving, attentive, comprehensive, and nurturing care.Original Review: I have been impressed since the initial phone call to schedule a tour. The staff are knowledgeable and made every step of the process from enrollment to the first day smooth and easy. It’s very clear this is more than a job to the caregivers and staff, and I really feel they do this because they genuinely love the kids! Deciding where to place your babies is never easy - but OVCA leaves me feeling confident in my choice to trust them ever day with my infant son. The facility shows attention to detail & that attention to detail is also reflected in the way things are run. This team and the center are a 10/10.

OVCA is the best safe, secure and affordable day care in Denver metro area if youre looking for a day care for your loved one. They have diverse personalities of wonderful teachers, each with their own unique ability to teach and help children learn and grow. They are 28% less than nearest competitors and highly qualified staff and provide the best care for children. Its a fun and happy environment to be in and I highly recommend them.

OVCA has been amazing for our daughter. All of the staff have been great. Our daughter is always having fun there. They always have different activities for the kids to join in on. The staff challenges the kids and engages with them. They have snacks and lunch provided everyday. The best thing for us is we know our daughter is safe and happy in the building and with staff. Definitely would recommend OVCA.Meghan Saline

SO grateful we found this place! As a first time mom, I was deathly scared with all the horror stories out there about day care. OVCA sends you real time updates all day of your little one, including photos so you know exactly what your LO is up to. Really makes my day easier when I am at work! The staff is amazing, warm and welcoming. Will be sticking with them! Thank you Andrea, Ms. Taylor and Ms. Devine!
