Creme De La Creme Incorporated

For any parent trying to find a safe and caring day care for their children while they are away at work can be a daunting task... that is why we feel so lucky to have found Crème de la Crème. After touring many leading day cares around the city we knew that we found the right facility just after our first visit. Our daughter started at Crème when she was only three months old and has now been a part of the Crème family for almost three years. We feel the curriculum, structure and fun atmosphere is among one of the best which builds confidence and independence along with preparing the children academically for their future. The teachers are so warm and loving and always strive to provide the ultimate care. The Director and her team have longevity with Crème which shows their commitment and love for the children as well as the business. Having a safe, stimulating and fun "home away from home" for our children while we are working brings such a sense of relief and peace of mind. We wish that there would be more Crème facilities throughout the city so more families can experience the magic of Crème.

Pros: The teachers, security, curriculum, facility and all of the love and care that has been given to our daughter.

Cons: We wish there was a Crème closer to where we live.

Our daughter started at Creme in December 2002 when she was seven months old. Before joining Creme, we toured several centers in the area. A friend recommended Creme. The minute we stepped in we knew that this was the place we wanted our daughter to be at - it stood out from all the others. We have been very pleased with Creme's elaborate daily progress sheets which included what she did, what she ate and what percentage of each food she ate! We have always felt very safe sending her to Creme. She was usualy happy to arrive every morning and sometimes didn't want to leave in the evening. The school has done everything far beyond our expectations. We are generally very picky, but over the span of 4 years and 9 months, we have very rarely found anything out of place. We have been recommending Creme to all of our day-care seeking friends. The curriculum at Creme develops a child's overall personality: social, language, math, art, music, computers, Spanish and physical skills. Learning is structured and yet our daughter always seemed to have fun. Your kindergarten program was so effective that our five year old tested out at 3rd grade math and spelling and 5th grade reading for an entrance exam for 1st grade. Our daughter has had a wonderful time in Creme throughout. We feel sad that she has to leave and we would like to thank all her teachers and the other staff members at Creme for providing such outstanding service. I.N.K.

Pros: The curriculum, my daughter's safety and well being, and the wonderful teachers!

Cons: I can't think of any!

We sent our children to Creme, initially impressed by the beautiful facility. Within just a few weeks, our childrens' teachers had either resigned or complained bitterly about the poor management and/or compensation. The turnover was striking - we went through several teachers in as many months. This was disruptive to say the least, particularly for our 2 year old. In addition, you are required to buy their uniforms which are very pricey. If your child doesn't have a backup and they have an accident (requiring another shirt or pair of shorts), they automatically charge you for another. For the money, this is NOT the creme de la creme of Denver! We moved our kids as soon as was feasible, and we are now all happier for it. Other programs may not have expensive design features that lure in parents, but they sure have happier kids and teachers.

Pros: Nice facilities

Cons: High teacher turnover, poor value
