See What People are Saying:
"The work you and all the teachers are doing at these critical times is highly appreciated. ... We really appreciate all your efforts in helping the families who need child care and trying to sustain the business"
Scuttlebugs have been so much joy and enormous experience that has contributed positively to her cognitive growth and her well being.
"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."
“The facility is by far one of the cleanest daycares we had seen, the kids are always happy and well taken care of.”
my son was getting sick monthly at his previous daycare's. I think he has only been sick from a fever caught at school twice in the 1 year he has attended. Scuttle-bugs sanitizes the toys frequently.
"We really admire the professionalism of the staff and ownership and feel even more confident that we made a great choice with enrolling [our daughter] at Scuttlebugs."
The chef prepared a variety of meals that our toddler seemed to enjoy.
"it’s great to see you guys caring about your families so much and providing care for those families that need it the most."
"Thank you for all that you and the staff are doing during this unprecedented time."
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.
A first-time mom I was scared to leave my child for the first time not at home, but they took time to address all my concerns and I soon saw that overall it was very safe and my baby was happy there.
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.
“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!”
...we are so deeply impressed at the way Scuttlebugs (and you) are navigating this phase. Bravo! We need more people like you guys to lead all of us. Truly.
Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts for the love and dedication your staff has shown our daughter in the last 2 years of attendance.
"We also appreciate all the material the ScuttleBugs team has made available online. ... please pass on our appreciation to the ScuttleBugs ownership"
My daughter started at 6 months old in the infant room ... she took off for her classroom with barely a glance back at me 🙂
[Our daughter] has the privilege of learning from wonderful teachers all the way from infants class to preschool. We appreciate all that they have done to help our daughter grow up and learn as well as taking great care of her.
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.
"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".
“I like their backyard play area, I like their menu, I appreciate the fact they take care of the sunblock for all the kids and everything else for that matter, I obviously like the teachers.”
I truly feel blessed with this place! They offer secure and clean facility with yummy meal plan and wonderful playground area.
"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."
"thank you for everyone's efforts at ScuttleBugs to make sure my son was happy and well cared for during these troubling times. You guys are amazing!"
"We have seen the great change /my child/ made after going to ScuttleBugs. Once again, me and my husband appreciate all things you guys have done to build such a great place for children living and prospering."
“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.”
We applaud you and the rest of the Scuttlebugs staff for continuing to operate the center as an essential business and thus supporting the community at large.
ScuttleBugs was a 2nd home for our kids! We have many wonderful memories!
"This place, by far, has been the best daycare our son has been in. ... We got to know other parents at their social events"
The infant room was absolutely amazing! The teachers are like family and have really contributed very positively to my son's development.
"we really love ScuttleBugs and the entire staff"
“The staff is always happy and helpful (something that is amazing when you deal with kids and demanding parents each day).”
“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?"
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.
"The way you guys have been handling this entire situation is really amazing"
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.
There was notable consideration and care put into the simple phone call I had with them.
"Thank you for all the work your doing in these uncertain times"
“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.”
Overall, a solid choice for a Boulder daycare that caters to the typical working parent.
We watched our son excel in every area: academically, physically and getting fantastic social skills. The teachers are wonderful!
“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”
"Thank you so much for staying open and taking such good care of our little ones"
My son transitioned from pre-K at Scuttlebugs to elementary school with ease, thanks in part to the excellent curriculum at Scuttlebugs.
They have a great shaded outdoor play area and indoor gym.
"Of the handful of places we looked at for my infant daughter, this was by far the best in terms of the teachers and overall vibe."
"Thanks for the updates and the support that you and the entire staff have been given to keep our child entertained and educated at home during this difficult time."
I would like to thank you for sharing a curriculum with us with some activities to do with our child at home...
...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.
My kiddos loved the indoor gym, their teachers, friends and the yummy food made onsite. Mommy and daddy loved how everything is included. For busy working parents the last thing I want to worry about is washing(...)
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.
This school puts stronger emphasis on content and a pedagogical program, rather than just passing the day somehow.
“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
"Thank you so much for all that you are doing. I’m glad the kiddos of essential workers have a place to go!"
“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...”
"[We] are truly appreciative of Scuttlebugs more than ever"
"Thank you for keeping us updated with everything that is going on at school and for all the links and home ideas. [Our daughter] has especially liked the homemade playdough."
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(...)
This Child Development center is one of the cleanest centers I've ever seen!
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.
It's very clean and tidy, the rooms are bright and airy, and you can see that children enjoy it there.
I have nothing but amazing things to say! extra bonus, my daughter potty trained in about one week.
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(...)
His teacher said he asks a lot of questions and that's actually good, because it leads to the other kids also asking questions.
“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.”
The varied curriculum and environment helped her flourish and she's now a bubbly positive 3yr old.
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.
Scuttlebugs provides a clean, healthy and happy learning place for kids.
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.
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(...)
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)!
We were relocated from England to bay area and it was never easy to find a preschool that he can settle easily as the school organization difference. We are quite glad to choose scuttlebug in the end and my son is very happy in the school.
"thank you for continuing to support families that are still attending scuttlebugs and families that are keeping kids home."
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.
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!
We appreciate everything and everyone in Scuttlebugs especially in these tough pandemic years.
Thank you so much for all the updates. The way you guys have been handling this entire situation is really amazing. The activity guide for the week has been so helpful. You guys are definitely making our lives easier.
"Thanks for helping out the essential business families during this time."
Excellent and professional staff.
All the teachers really help in the morning as my son sometimes has separation anxiety but they make him feel safe and loved; I couldn't ask for more!
"we are truly grateful for the scuttlebugs staff and your commitment to the kids and their learning!"
Our boys were moved into the appropriate classes when they were ready. They were NEVER held back or pushed ahead for any reason.
“I feel that my son is very safe, a key-card is needed to enter the lobby and the classrooms”
"knowing [our daughter] has a safe place to go during this time is so comforting"
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.
The teachers my son had over the years have been helpful, kind, caring and showed interest in my sons development.
I have to express my sincere gratitude to Scuttlebugs, you have truly shown your value during this time.
“It is a clean facility. They supply everything there (no additional costs): Diapers, sunscreen, daily meals.”
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.
"Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts for the love and dedication"
"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."
My daughter had a tough first week, as most kids do. But the teachers took extra care to make her feel better and help her in the transition.
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.
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.
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(...)
"They focus on child development, not just watching your children. The cost is very reasonable as well!"
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.
In my opinion, the change has been for the better. ... I appreciate so much all the staff and it's new owners and managers for making this all possible.
