Exploring Minds Academy - Erie, Colorado

Exploring Minds has been our first and only daycare for our family and we couldn't have asked for anything more. The staff is beyond friendly and all them together have created a warming/welcoming atmosphere. Moreover, with so many daycares seeming to have plastic playgrounds, we have really enjoyed the openness of the play area at Exploring Minds. We have been comforted by the ample experience of many of the teachers (especially the infant teacher) and have come to rely on the daily reports supplied by the school. All in all, we are truly humbled to have such a dedicated team looking over the youngest member of our family.

My son has been in the infant room at Exploring Minds since he was 2 and a half months old and it's been an amazing experience. We absolutely love all the teachers and the smaller, more family-like feel. He gets to be around babies/toddlers at different developmental stages, which has just been so valuable for him. He's also been sick much less frequently than my friends who have infants at other facilities.

tl;dr: We're incredibly grateful to everyone at Exploring Minds and so thankful he was able to get a spot there.

Our daughter has attended this daycare for about two years (toddler and pre-school) and we have been very happy with them. They are big advocates for outdoor time, which I love, and their days seem very well structured with times for creativity, learning and play. They are very affordable compared to other daycares in the area and they provide healthy meals, which is a big convenience for the parents. Our toddler is happy, thriving and enjoys her days at Exploring Minds Academy.

I don’t usually post reviews, but my daughter had a bad experience here and I’ve heard the same from others. I think people should know. I didn’t realize how bad it was until we left. Don’t let the website fool you! They do not use any Montessori methods with the children. They do not serve organic foods - lots of Cheerios, pancakes and waffles. It is a dirty facility. They teachers are tired and seem irritated by the children. They also let the young children intermingle with children much too old from the before and after school programs. My 4 yo came home one day and told me one of the girls wears a bra. She also started napping again there after not having napped for nearly a year. Later on she told me that the teachers yelled at them to sleep. This really affected my daughter more than we realized and I don’t want others to make the same mistake.

We love this cozy little center. The staff and teachers do a great job of staying organized with activities that the kids actually make or participate in. They have focused daily lessons at circle time. They accommodate our transportation needs by taking our child and picking him up from his pre-K program. They also provide transportation to many other full and half day school programs.

The program is truly affordable unlike most and I feel like they do just as much with the kids if not more.

Our community should help this place thrive; It has been a part of the community for a very long time. It may not be brand new but they are well established.

Exploring Minds Acadamy has been a good Daycare for my daughter she had learned more at school because of it , she is always happy and singing songs when she comes home
The staff is really nice and very friendly !
They do pick up/ drop off to and from school and that’s a bonus!
The establishment needs a much needed remodel and a deep cleaning for sure, that’s the why I’m only giving them a 4 star

My son has gone to this daycare for 4 years. We have only had positive experiences and he looks forward to going there to see the staff, kids, and go on the daily field trips during summer. I have recommended this facility to friends and would recommend it to anyone.

I sent my baby boy about a year ago to. What I strongly remember is that they never grit us or the kids in the morning.
When I ask my son about this place he ask me never going there again.
