What Parents Say
Fitzsimons Early Learning Center receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from current and former parents, with particular praise for individual teachers and their attentive, caring approach to child development. However, some prospective parents have experienced confusion with the enrollment process and eligibility restrictions, as the center prioritizes employees of affiliated healthcare institutions.
FELC has been a great place for our baby. We feel very comfortable that our baby is safe and well taken care of here. The teachers are always glad to see the kids. It's also very convenient for employees on campus.
Bright Horizons creates a very confusing process for signing up for this center. I received an email saying that there was availability in April. I reached out to the Bright Horizons scheduling number in the email to schedule a one-week appointment to tour this facility. After waiting a week, the center director emailed me one day before the appointment to say that only individuals who are employees of Children's Hospital or the University of Colorado Hospital on the Anschutz Campus are eligible to use this center. I spent the week moving mountains to attend this appointment based on the call center's information. Please do not be like me and waste your time trying to tour this facility unless you work for either. Children's Hospital or the University of Colorado Hospital on the Anschutz Campus. Additionally, do not use Bright Horizons' general contact number, as they are mistaken about multiple facilities across the Denver metro.
I love BH at Fitzsimmons! We love Ms Mandy! She is so patient and conscientious with my son!! This school really goes above and beyond on caring for our kids. We are lucky to be here and have Ms Mandy as is teacher!
Dear Ms Isabell Feel happy letting you know that you are really an Icon of love ,care and perfect nurturing for Saira !!! We see her eyes light up the moment she sees you every morning . It was tge first time that she came to any school but your reassuring presence made it a very smooth transition for her . It goes to your credit that she looks forward to coming to school every day !! Your discipline is also with tenderness and your teaching is with such joy that Saira wants to repeat what all she learns with you at home too . She is gaining confidence each day and that means a lot !!! Teachers have this very important job of building a life and in her tender age it matters the most !!! 1stWe are really grateful to the school for you !!! With Best regards Chetna Saira's grandmother
I cannot say enough.. how much i love this centre and how much i miss it once we left from Aurora. This was where my son started his day care and was fortunate to have the most wonderdul teachers from Ms. Cathy to Ms Stephanie in toddlers and Ms. Marina, Ms. Jen, Ms Reyna and Ms. Cindy in twos.. All these teachers were so wonderful, they were so attentive and reaponsive to the needs of each and every child in class. I am convinced i cam never find a setup like this again. My son loved each of his teachers. They were the warmest people we ever meylt. Cannot thank them enough.
