Parents praise the caring and invested teachers, positive learning environment, and strong developmental outcomes across all age groups from infants through preschool. Multiple families report their children are happy, safe, and eager to attend daily.
We’ve been with this daycare for almost 5 years and have had such a positive experience. The teachers are kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the kids. I like that it’s locally/family-owned. Very grateful to have had this place for my kids throughout their toddlerhood/preschool years.
I can't say enough good things about Jacob Academy. We sent our daughter there at 4 months old, which is a super vulnerable time for parents and baby both. The teachers in the infant room made us so comfortable and partnered with us on how to best care for our newborn when we were away. As our daughter grew and joined new classrooms, we continued to have a great experience with every group of teachers. The meals they provided introduced her to new foods in a fun environment, and it's paid off at home as she's not a picky eater. Our daughter looked forward to going each day, and we could tell she had a blast playing with her friends. Sadly, we are leaving Denver and will no longer be able to attend JA. We just hope we find another place that will measure up to their excellent standards of care!
Our daughter has been at the Jacob Academy on Alkire since she was 6 months old (she's now almost 2 and half), and we have had a wonderful experience. The teachers, Director and staff are all dedicated, welcoming, patient and fun with the kids. Our daughter loves going every day, and comes home smiling and laughing. We can see how much she is learning, cognitively and socially. Highly recommend!
We emailed them twice looking for information and to schedule a tour, and they never responded. If they’re that inattentive with email, I can’t imagine how inattentive they are with kids. Edit after owner response: emailed them on 2/15 and 2/24!
My daughter has been going to Jacob Academy for about a year and a half now, the teachers and directors have been nothing but amazing! I have to give a special shout out to Ms Olga as my daughter just loves her ! My daughter has learned so much in the time she has been here and continues to surprise me everyday. Thank you for taking care of my baby!
