We love where dD is now (in a center near my work in DTC), but after today - and a series of other misadventures involving forgetting her milk and having to drive an hour and ten to fetch it - I am ready to move her to a center closer to home so that she gets to play with her friends instead of listening to the morning radio show and nap.
That way dH can help me with pick ups and drop offs also. We live in SE Park Hill.
I've already toured JCC and Schlessman and have them both in the queue as options for when she's ready to move up (it coincides nicely with JCC's calendar, which I'm happy about). But both have either a waiting list (Schlessman) or a lottery system/wait list (JCC) and so I'd like a third option to be safe.
Does anyone have an opinion about Primrose at Stapleton? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post a reply here. I plan on touring in the next few weeks to get a feel on it for myself. Thanks!

DS has been there about a year and I love it. We actually had DS at a center in the tech center near DH's work but wanted him close to home for the same reasons (and DH was going to change jobs). I love the teachers we have had so far and DS does too. I also love that his friends are in the neighborhood. Both the teachers and the director have been incredibly responsive to my questions and wishes which I really like too.
I know their infant room has an ungodly wait list (We put DS on the waitlist when I was 10 weeks pg and a spot didnt open for him until he was 13 months old and in the young toddler room - I LOVE the head teacher in there!!). I didnt look into the JCC but I did look at a variety of other centers in the Stapleton area and this was the only one I liked for a variety of reasons. Id definitely at least get on the waitlist asap!
Feel free to PM me if you have other questions!
Thank you so much! Having your and ijack's 1st person feedback is so helpful. A huge positive in considering this change is having friends in the neighborhood. Right now I feel like I drive to DTC for work every day, and then I'm down there on the weekends too. Which is fine occasionally, but it sure would be nice to develop more of a parent/kid friend network closer to home too.
I'll certainly PM you and ijack if anything else comes to mind!
