  We love OVCA! We started there during the pandemic since they were able to offer consistent, safe care and we’ve loved them ever since! Definitely feels like a family!

  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!

  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.

  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!
