Iliff Preschool, Kindergarten and School-Age Summer Camp

I have absolutely loved my children's experience at Iliff! My son has been in both their preschool classroom and Kindergarten, and my daughter has attended the school-age summer camp. Iliff has truly been everything we hoped for and more. Every teacher that we have interacted with at Iliff is caring, kind, and very much dedicated to the children. All of the preschool teachers are amazing, and my son absolutely loved his preschool teacher and his time in her classroom. To speak a bit about the Kindergarten program, the Kindergarten class is really special. My son has grown so much in Ms. Mary's classroom, and she creates a warm and fun environment that really encourages each child. Every week, they have writing, math, music, Spanish, science, and a lot of other fun activities. They even do baking! The kindergarteners also get to spend a lot of time outside on their own playground, which is really big and a perfect space to run around and enjoy their time together. The social-emotional support and guidance they get is an excellent foundation for their future years in school. We receive daily pictures and updates from Ms. Mary, and it is so much fun seeing what they are up to. I know my son is loved and well-cared for in her classroom. I also know he is building a strong academic foundation and very well-prepared for his next steps. I would highly recommend Iliff preschool and its Kindergarten program!

I currently have two children at Iliff, one in preschool and one in the Kindergarten program. I love all the teachers there and both of my kids are always happy and do not want to leave when I come pick them up. I'll talk a little about my experience in Kindergarten. I have truly enjoyed watching my son learn and grow in Ms. Mary’s class. The days are filled with building strong foundational skills in reading and writing, along with engaging, theme-based learning such as space and chemistry. Ms. Mary is also good about social emotional regulation with the kids and making sure they are responsible. The playground is very large, and I appreciate that the children get to play within their own age groups. I would highly recommend the Kindergarten program to anyone looking for a well-rounded educational experience.

I’m so grateful a friend recommended Iliff Preschool & Kinder. The school is an absolute gem, affordable with such kind, talented and sweet faculty all around. From Ms. Mary at the front desk to the classroom teachers, it’s such a joy and privilege to be in a school where my 3 year old kiddo is excited to attend and learn each day. My son has learned so much in the year we’ve been there and he hasn’t even started PreK. Plus, they’re affordable and work with families. I’m grateful to the school and amazing staff for making this a great experience.

Our 2.5-year-old started at Illif Preschool right after turning 2, coming from a small nanny share, and the transition could not have gone better. The teachers were incredibly supportive and patient as she adjusted to a new environment and routine. A few months in now and she absolutely loves it, so much that she doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! We’ve also seen her language development absolutely take off, and she’s made huge strides socially. It’s been amazing to watch her confidence grow. We’re very grateful for the caring staff and the warm, structured environment they create. Highly recommend Illif to any family looking for a nurturing place for their little one.

We matched into Iliff through the UPK program and my daughter has loved the PreK class! This is her first time in any sort of daycare or school and she's the youngest in the class, so I was a little nervous about sending her. The teachers made it an easy transition for her and me with their kind and fun demeanors. She always comes home excited to tell me about what they learned in STEM or singing time or Spanish time or what fun project they made. The kids get lots of play time too and she has loved making new friends. Iliff has exceeded all my expectations.
