3 Best Preschools in Fort Collins, CO

My child has been at YPLC for more than three years. It's our last year at the Plum school before heading to elementary school. We'll miss it! My child loves the teachers and has made good friends here. Teachers are very patient and there's good communication with us. My child enjoys activities like art, walks and free time, and also likes the structure their daily schedule provides. The backyard has the space kids need to run around and they spend a lot of time outside, which is great. They have extra curricular activities like yoga, Spanish and water days, which expose the kids to new things. You can tell staff put a lot of time and energy into planning fun and educational activities. Administrative staff and the owners hold regular family/staff meetings to update families on what's coming up and give guardians opportunities to provide feedback. They also seem to care about their staff and want them to feel supported.

We're incredibly grateful to have our son at YPLC. He has Down syndrome, and prior to this experience, had only been in specialized child care centers. When we felt he was ready for more integration, we visited YPLC, and Jordi, the director, immediately put us at ease with her excitement to meet our son and passion for caring for kids with a range of abilities. Now, roughly a year in, he clearly feels at home here, and we see the acceptance and love he receives from his peers and caregivers every time we're in the building.

Our little guy has been going here for over a year now. He loves it so much. He has learned so much over this past year. It's amazing to see him grow and learn so much in such a small amount of time. We love all of the teachers and team members who help make this place a wonderful teaching place hands down best place to take your kiddos.

There is something really special about a school where children are joyful when they arrive! Trust-filled bonds are created with love and consistency in a partnership with families. Multiple staff have taught here for years and many are highly educated with a bachelor's degree or higher. The management is exceptional and turnover is low- largely due to the belief that happy teachers = happy children. The research based curriculum and evaluations combined with a high-scope approach leads to an enriched foundation for the whole child and fully equips them for kindergarten! In this world of uncertainty, unrest, and turmoil-- kindness continues to abound from staff and families alike. I have taught at this beautiful preschool for more than nine years. One evening as I was closing I noticed the parent's tires had created linked hearts in the freshly fallen snow. My heart smiled and I snapped a picture. Love truly lives within the walls of Little People's Landing- this I know.

I see so many kids happy and excited to come to school here everyday! And some are sad when it’s time to go home because they have had such a fun day! The center offers extra curricular classes as well as their well established emergent curriculum. The teachers are knowledgeable and friendly, and the administration is amazing!! This school comes highly recommended.

Bringing my kids here I know they are loved.When they say they love their teacher and are so excited to see their friends. Then in the car ride home they have stories about their day the hole way home. Some of these kids here are just the sweetest.
