“They focus on child development, not just watching your children. The cost is very reasonable as well!”

“I am so glad to have found ScuttleBugs, as a busy working mom it takes a big relief knowing that I fully trust the center staff to provide a safe, fun learning environment for my daughter.”

As French, we wanted our daughter to eat healthy and balanced. This is indeed the case thanks to the chef who is cooking good food every day.

The new owners have brought many positive changes including an app (love seeing pictures of her throughout the day!), improved curriculum, and a full time chef!

You really cannot find a more genuine group of teachers and staff. We received daily reports and teachers always called to let you know if something was going on or your child was becoming ill, etc.

The varied curriculum and environment helped her flourish and she’s now a bubbly positive 3yr old.

“My daughter … started not even 3 years ago, she was very very shy and reserved, she did not speak a word of English, she hardly understood this new language … She is now 4 and a half years old and is completely fluent thanks to this school.”

“Everything is included with your tuition. Diapers, wipes, food (which is prepared there) and formula. Makes it so much easier to get your kid’s stuff together in the morning because you don’t need to pack much for them!”

Management has many great programs in place including field trips (that allow parents to participate in), dance classes, gymnastics, arts, theater, etc…and a great outdoors covered playground area. Their meal program is outstanding and their facility is clean.

My daughter thrived there from infancy through preschool because of the attentive and thoughtful owners, passionate and dedicated teachers, and all-around positive, fun and creative environment.

I’m forever so grateful to Scuttlebugs for creating such a loving and nurturing environment for my son – he’s such a sensitive little guy.

They are also very accommodating to food allergies and the cook Joanna has been great to work with to make sure our son follows a gluten free diet. The food offered is so healthy and nutritious with ethnic meals and lots of fruit and vegetables.

“It is a clean facility. They supply everything there (no additional costs): Diapers, sunscreen, daily meals.”

“The facility is by far one of the cleanest daycares we had seen, the kids are always happy and well taken care of.”

“The diversity of staff at ScuttleBugs is amazing. I am glad that for my sons, it is normal to see faces of different colors and celebrate holidays of different cultures”

Their fee is only slightly higher than other schools by about $10 per day. $10 for diapers, wipes, and food cooked on site by a personal cook (that other schools don’t provide) sounds like a worthwhile investment.

“I feel that my son is very safe, a key-card is needed to enter the lobby and the classrooms”

My son transitioned from pre-K at Scuttlebugs to elementary school with ease, thanks in part to the excellent curriculum at Scuttlebugs.

The teachers my son had over the years have been helpful, kind, caring and showed interest in my sons development.

My son used to cry when we would drop him off and … he’s come so far! He waves hello and goodbye, he’s social, and eats better food than me during the day (true story)!

They work well with me and greatly with my son. He’s learning everything I feel he needs and more, and his comprehension is outstanding.

Scuttlebugs was a game-changer for our family. It was the only preschool in our area that didn’t hold kids back on curriculum just because they weren’t potty trained by a specific time.

“The staff is always happy and helpful (something that is amazing when you deal with kids and demanding parents each day).”

“We did all our homework on other facilities, costs, value for what you get and quality of care providers. There just was not something else out there that made me as comfortable as Scuttlebugs for many reasons.”

My daughter eats a vegan/plant-based diet and this has been a non-issue with SB, as Miss Joana does a great job making vegan meals every day.

They have a great shaded outdoor play area and indoor gym.

“One of the things I most value in ScuttleBugs is the teaching staff. They care about the kids and rightfully take pride in the positive impact they’re having, now and into the future

All in all, you will not find a better daycare in the area. There is nothing more comforting as a mom than dropping our daughter off every morning, knowing that she will be cared for.

“I get weekly and monthly updates and know exactly what’s going on in their school life. … The staff is so competent that I learned a lot on the way…”

Since they spend a lot of time outside in the playground and in the gym, I have seen significant improvement in his physical abilities as well. I always see a good amount of discipline and love when I am in the class.

My oldest daughter is going to Kindergarden next year and I can’t stop worrying about her safety in a public school. Cognitively, socialy and academic wise I know that she is ready but I feel SAFE bringing her to Scuttlebugs as I have for the last 4 years because I know its a secure Center.

“The school takes great pride in their quality of their educational methods, their equipment (and toys), and maintaining a clean and inviting learning environment for our kids.”

With frequent communication with his caregivers, I felt very comfortable having him there every day. That was very important to me, especially when he was very young.

“At the end of the day, I picked up my (tear-free!) son, and I’ll never forget what he said: “mommy I like school, can I go back to school tomorrow?”

Overall, a solid choice for a Boulder daycare that caters to the typical working parent.

I am glad that for my sons, it is normal to see faces of different colors and celebrate holidays of different cultures. My sons have been exposed to Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Vietnamese, Mandarin, and probably many more languages through teachers, students, and parents.

The other thing is that Scuttlebugs MAKES OUR LIVES SO EASY. We just drop him off. They provide breakfast, all snacks, healthy lunches (who knew my kid would eat QUINOA, seriously?!), more snacks.

I have nothing but amazing things to say! extra bonus, my daughter potty trained in about one week.

We watched our son excel in every area: academically, physically and getting fantastic social skills. The teachers are wonderful!

My son has learned so much at ScuttleBugs. I love that education is very important here. They also helped wean my son from the pacifier (Phew!!) and when he’s ready they will help with potty training which is a HUGE +++! Another HUGEEE plus is diapers, meals, snacks, and pretty much everything they will need throughout the day is all inclusive. I never have to bring lunch, diapers, and wipes which saves so much time.

Our boys were moved into the appropriate classes when they were ready. They were NEVER held back or pushed ahead for any reason.

Great scale where it is not too big and has a coziness feeling for the kids ,its also not so small so that kids can get enough interaction and socialize.

Our 2 year old is shy but he absolutely loved going to ‘school’ and adapted to the place within days. His teachers, Greta and Emma are amazing – calm, consistent and most importantly, loving and caring.

Excellent and professional staff.

“My daughter looks forward to going to school in the morning. And now that she has started speaking, when my wife goes to school to pick her up in the evening, and her teachers tell her “Mommy has come, let’s go”, she sometimes says “No No”.

…real eye-opener was how they handled Covid and the regulations that came from that. …they bent over backwards to help us, but resisted caving into us when it affected their rules and the new, changing, regulations.

“Instead of letting him lie down all day because he can’t sit up or crawl, they hold him, sit him in boppies, and give him tummy time so that his muscles can develop and he can learn to sit and crawl.”

“This place, by far, has been the best daycare our son has been in. … We got to know other parents at their social events”

“My son’s speech was mostly indecipherable. …They then worked with him so that “his language” turned into something more like “the English language”. He’s also learned all his pre-k requirements very early on.”
