Louisville (pronounced loo-is-ville, not loo-ey-ville), Erie, and Superior are our "sister towns". They all have great FB groups. I also follow East Boulder and Broomfield. Someone might want to recommend Next Door and for them... I can't do a link right now.
Liz M. replied:
Join ModMoms North; such a great resource and group. I highly recommend Cornerstone Pediatrics in nearby Louisville. Look into Forest Park Montessori School for preschool (25 kids total), and Heart and Hands Montessori for infant daycare. They are on the same big, pretty park, simplifying drop off and pick up for 2 kids. Check out their FB pages to get a feel for them.

We love The Learning Experience in Lafayette (0-5 daycare and preschool) and Dr. Jeff Richker for pediatrician
Joyce W. replied:
Dr. Jeff Richker at Lafayette Pediatric and Internal Medicine is thorough, knowledgeable, and flexible. One of my sons is medically complicated and Jeff has managed his care impeccably well.

Lindsey K. replied:
Welcome! Would love to connect with you when you get here. I have no experience with day care but we love Louisville Montessori, Douglass Elementary and Dr Stephen Fries at Boulder Community Hospital (Foothills Pediatrics).
We really like Dr. Serlen at Boulder Medical Center. I've heard great things about all the peds there. They're in Louisville so like 10-15 mins.
Steph W. replied:
Vrinda McGinnis is starting a preschool soon. I highly recommend her. She has her Master's degree in Education and she goes above and beyond for children. A few years back she cared for my 3 year old child who has a g tube. She is amazing!
Heather R. replied:
I have my 3 year old at Montessori Academy and it's great. They take toddlers also. It's small and with experienced teachers. We also see Dr Palazzari at Lafayette Pediatrics. He's very sweet and great with kids.

check out FB group Lafayette Rocks! We moved here a few years ago with our kids were 2 and 5. Treehouse Learning on 96 th st. offers day care structure more similar to what you see in the east and Midwest. They take infants through kindergarten.

We really like Adventure Montessori. They do infant - 5 th grade

Welcome! If you scroll down to Nov 9 th's posting on Open Enrollment/Lafayette schools, you can hear what parents say about Lafayette's schools (https://www.facebook.com/MaliasHomes/).
Joy R. replied:
Lafayette Elementary is great! If Lafayette isn't your home school though, I would look into the home school for your neighborhood. Then your kiddo lives near their friends and there's less commuting. All the schools in Lafayette are fantastic, you really can't go wrong!
Wendi K. replied:
Both of kids have gone to Lafayette Elementary since kindergarten and have had an incredible experience! We live in Indian peaks which is close to Waneka Lake and has an incredible park.

Community Montessori is a fantastic school! I’m a Lafayette resident & my daughter is there.....LOVE it!

We can’t say enough about The Louisville Preschool. Small, play based. About to celebrate their 25 th anniversary. I believe you can find their prices by downloading the enrollment forms from their website.

I recommend Patchwork. The philosophy, calendar, and rates are all on the site. We are currently closed for Spring Break, but definitely send an email or contact the office on Monday. https://www.facebook.com/120266254971 The Patchwork School ❤️
Michelle L. replied:
I have been a special ed Preschool Teacher for 10 years and I have studied under several different philosophies. I’ll tell you from my experience as a mom, the number one aspect that was most important to me and my 2 children was: does my child love her Teacher and does she feel loved by her Teacher? Everything else is secondary. (My children each went to various preschools due to us moving around. From church run, Reggio, private all day, curriculum based...) So I suggest visiting a school you have interest in with your child in person and get a “feel” for it. Good luck! I’m sure you’ll be fine with whatever you choose.
