What People love about this company
At Iliff Preschool, we are more than just a childcare center; we are a trusted partner in your child's early education journey. For over five decades, we have been a mainstay of southeast Denver, serving University Park, University Hills, Washington Park, and the Colorado Boulevard business corridor. Our curriculum isn't confined to classrooms alone; it extends to our award-winning outdoor play areas. From a real DC7 airplane transformed into a kindergarten classroom to imaginative play spaces like a boat on a sandy beach, we encourage children to explore, play, and interact in environments that spark their creativity. Our private programs are designed to engage children through immersive and hands-on experiences.

We are new to the school but we are loving it so far! We feel so confident in the staff, most have been there a long time (our son's teacher has been there 30 years!), so kudos to Illif for supporting those who care for our littles so well!Everyone has been a dream to work with, they use ProCare app to keep parents connected throughout the day (and making tuition payments easy), and we couldn't be happier!

We absolutely love Iliff Preschool and Daycare! I toured several other daycares, which only left me feeling sad, worried, and anxious about starting my child in care. However, after receiving a recommendation from my doctor—whose children used to attend—I decided to visit IPS. Upon my first visit, the teachers were immediately so warm and friendly, and the children were visibly happy, smiling, and even running up to give me hugs. I knew instantly this was the place for us, and I left with tears in my eyes and gave Ann the biggest hug! I have not looked back since! My 2-year-old took to it immediately and is so excited to pounce through the doors daily to give his teachers and classmates a hug. The staff, the atmosphere, and the joy of the children cannot be beaten. It truly does not get better than this. We feel so incredibly lucky!

Our daughter is in Pre-K at Iliff, and it has been a great experience! The teachers are wonderful, and the curriculum far exceeds our expectations. They learn STEM, Spanish, Music, Art, Handwriting, and have lots of outdoor play time. My daughter loves going to school every day and I love that she is in a safe and nurturing environment where she is learning new things!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this kindergarten and school as a whole. The small class size creates a supportive, nurturing environment where each child gets individual attention. Ms. Mary is absolutely amazing she is so thoughtful and creative. She keeps parents well informed with regular, thoughtful updates and pictures throughout the day. We’re very grateful for such a positive start to our child’s education.

Our daughter (2.5yr) loves Illiff Preschool! The teachers have been at this school for a very long time and have decades of experience with children. We feel our daughter is safe and very well cared for. Not to mention how much she learns while she is there! She doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day.It may not be a brand new shiny building like some other schools, but the dedication and experience of the teachers was what drew us to IPS, and we are very happy with our decision.

Our 4-year-old is loving Iliff so far, and we love it too. The class sizes are small, though it seems to have never-ending opportunities: science, math, Spanish, music, even a basketball program. In the summer, they had yoga, mindfulness and water play each week. As a workout no parent, their schedule can't be beat: they are closed a mere 16 days per *calendar year* (yes, they're open all summer too!), as compared to 35+ with preschools that follow the DPS schedule. My husband and I just couldn't keep up with all the off days of our prior daycare. This alone is enough of a selling point. Iliff also offers a junior K program so our son who barely misses the Kindergarten cutoff can do 4K, pre-K and use tuition credits without repeating a grade. Mr. Jim is wonderful and we loved Sarah, his summer teacher. He's made so many friends and oodles of crafts. There seems to be the perfect mix of structure and freedom for him. Thank you to Ann, the director, who organizes everything, communicates

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.

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.

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 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 sup
