Hear What Parents Have To Say...
As a new parent it’s always hard to leave your baby with new people. However, RMPS willow creek has been such a welcoming and enjoyable place to have my daughter attend! She has never been upset on drop off or pick up and seems to really truly enjoy going. The teachers and management are great at communicating and provided so much comfort to me as a first time parent relying on daycare.
- JJ McQueen
I absolutely love Rocky Mountain Preschool for my child. The staff is amazing with so much heart and caring mindsets. It’s wonderful to see my son get excited about going every morning. The teachers really make an effort to engage with the kids and develop them in an individualized way. We’ve had Miss Cheryl and Miss Jamie who’s helped my son with hitting all his milestones. The management is committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re thankful to the whole team.
- Dyana K
We are very happy with the care and education provided. My daughter adores her teachers Ms. Skyler and Ms. Maria, and it’s clear from our interactions that they love her back. They provide many updates throughout the day with pictures, snapshots of their activities, how mealtime went, as well as nap duration. My big kid comes with us for pick up sometimes and the teachers all remember him and love saying hi. I also love how close knit the school is where teachers we haven’t worked with know our kids and make them feel welcome every day.
- Chelsea Simmons
We love the staff here! The communication is great, reasonable tuition, clean and new facility, and they prioritize safety. Our son is 3 and is in Ms. Beth’s room. He’s always excited to go to school to see his friends and teacher. Even shopping the other day he wanted to get a present for Ms. Beth! It makes me feel good to know he is well taken cared of. We’re grateful for everything Rocky Mountain offers and would highly recommend.

We have two kids in Rocky Mountain, 3 yrs and 6 months old. The best part about the school is the teachers and staff. They really care about the kids and are easy to work with. We want to give a special shout out to teachers Kallie and Beth. They make sure our kids have enough diapers and supplies and keep us up-to-date by sending photos and milestone achievements through the app. You can tell they really love the kids!
- Kaleigh Atkins
This facility and teachers are amazing! The teachers really worked hard to get our daughter ready for Kindergarten through the UPK program, and she excelled faster in 9 months than she had in years before that. It is kept very clean, the classes are structured to never overcrowd one area, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. They get alot of outdoor time vs screen learning, which is rare these days. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who cares about their little kiddo excelling in life. Thank you RMP for everything!

We LOVE RMPS Willow Creek!!! Our 2 year old started here a few months ago after moving from a different daycare in the area. He absolutely loves it! The teachers are so fantastic and are so great with him! He’s quiet, shy and kind of sensitive, but he feels right at home and they make sure he feels comfortable. They talk to the kids and engage with them and everyone is so great. We can’t say enough great things about Rocky Mtn! It’s been the best decision we’ve made for our kiddo.

My little one really enjoys going to preschool - Jennifer and Steve have really worked to address all my questions and make it a safe happy. We are at ease knowing our kid is safe there. We have also found the school to find creative ways to keep the holiday spirit up... engage kids and families in fun activities when safe and possible. Teachers have been awesome. Thank you for all you do!

Rocky Mountain Preschool is the best! My son has been attending for 2 years and he loves going to school! The teachers and other staff are so friendly, and I feel like he is safe under their care while I am at work. Their curriculum is excellent and I love that they focus on getting the kids outside as much as possible. Couldn't recommend them enough!

I started taking my two kiddos here a year ago. They both love going to school. It's been amazing to see all the things they've learned. My favorite part as a parent is the communications I get throughout the day about the kids. I feel like this lets me be involved in their learning experience even when I'm at work. 💙🦋

My son has been here for a little over 3 years. His growth and development has been absolutely amazing. The care he receives is out of this world. He loves going to school so much. Thank you so much from your honeybee Julian and our family 🙂

I absolutely love RMP! My daughter has grown leaps within just the first few weeks of being there and loves going there! All of the teachers are so friendly, and have been monumental in helping my girl with potty training. Only one regret- we didn’t come sooner!
- Courtney Schneider
My son has been going to Rocky Mountain Preschool full time since he was 18 months old. We trust the staff and the teachers with our child, best of all, he absolutely loves going to RMP. The teachers are caring and attentive. The owners are responsive and courteous.

Our son truly enjoyed his time here at Rocky Mountain Preschool! He learned so much from Miss Audrey and all the other staff as well. His time is coming to an end in a few months, and it's truly bittersweet. As parents, we are very grateful that he will be well-equipped for kindergarten on day 1!
- Jeff Wiebe
