The Peak Center of Excellence

The Peak is the second daycare center our daughter had gone to, we wish it would have been the first! I read the reviews of parents reporting how much their child had learned while at the Peak. It is true, our daughter has progressed so much in the short time she has attended. I love the atmosphere, the teachers and curriculum. We have recommended the Peak to any parents in the area as a great place to take their children!

Our 3 kids have been going to the Peak for about 4 months now. My wife and I have been very happy with everyone here. The kids are always excited to go to school at the Peak. Every time we drive by, the kids start yelling The Peak, I see the Peak.
The 2 directors and staff are always helpful and take the time to answer any questions and let us know how the kids days went. My wife and I are always commenting on something new the kids say or do at home. When we ask them where they learned it, they say at the Peak.
How we arrived at The Peak:…
We have been through a number of day care options. We started with a licensed home day care. It was fine until we got the early morning call saying the woman was sick and she could not take our kids that day or she was going on vacation and would be closed for a week. Bad enough when one of my kids is sick and can’t go, but really bad when the day care is closed and you have to lose a day of work (and still pay for her time).
So we thought keeping our kids at home was the best and went with an Au Pair, after going through several it was a disaster. Scrambled to try to find care after agency fired the last Au Pair and sent her home for lying and Jeffco Sheriff charged her with child abuse. We decided then we wanted our kids in a licensed center with lots of kids and staff around all day and a structured preschool learning environment. Could not find a center that had room for all 3 kids (aged 5, 4 and 2) at first so I had to go to 2 different centers for a few months until one could take all 3 kids. (the youngest one could only stay at his center until age 3 anyway). So we finally got room at the one center for three kids. 2 months later that center announced they were shutting down in 10 days.
So back on the hamster wheel of trying to find a center that could take all 3 kids and drop off and pick up my oldest from kindergarten in the fall. Fortunately for our family, in the intervening months The Peak had opened not much farther away. We are very happy here. Out of all the places our kids have been, they all like the Peak the most. All 3 are happy to get in the car head off in the morning. So we only have to deal with the usual morning drama of what am I going to wear and how is my hair going to be done etc. If only the Peak could help me with that…
