Parent Reviews
We have had such an amazing experience with STEM ! As a parent, there is nothing more important than feeling like your children are safe, loved, and actually learning. My daughter absolutely loved her teachers (Ms. Mya and Ms. Kathy), and I am impressed by all the activities she did, they update everything through the app. She's going off to kindergarten - but we highly recommend to any families in Castle Rock!
We have had such a wonderful experience at STEM! The teachers are so caring and the curriculum really sets this school apart from others in the area. My child loves the hands-on activities and I love the peace of mind I get from the daily updates and photos. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Avery! We are so happy to hear that your child is enjoying the hands-on activities and that the updates provide that extra peace of mind. We love having your family at STEM!
Our daughter has been enrolled at STEM for a little over a month, so far our experience has been positive overall. We appreciate the regular photos and updates through the app to see how she's doing throughout the day.
We’ve been part of STEM for the past two years, and our children (now 4 and 2) have learned so much during that time. We’re always impressed by the things they come home knowing — they’re truly ahead of expectations for their ages. We’ve had some wonderful teachers who have cared deeply for our kids and supported their development every day. It’s clear that the staff take pride in helping children thrive. The school has provided a solid early-learning foundation for both of our children. We value the strong academics and the teachers who make that possible.
STEM Daycare has been a good experience overall. Our child has seemed happy and engaged. The pictures and updates they send throughout the day are great!
As first-time grandparents, we couldn’t be more grateful for STEM Child Care in Castlerock, where our grandchildren, Layla (in preschool) and CJ (in the twos), are growing and thriving. The teachers continually impress us with their warmth, creativity, and energy. It’s clear that every day the children are being thoughtfully exposed to science, technology, engineering, and math in ways that spark curiosity and joy. Who would have known that a 2 year old can recite his numbers with such confidence and pride. It made us smile. One of the features we love most is the use of Brightwheel. Being able to see daily narratives and photos of what our grandchildren are doing makes us feel connected, even from afar. It’s such a gift to be able to ask them about a specific activity they did that day—and to see their beautiful little faces in action truly makes our day. The meals provided are healthy and balanced, and we appreciate that the children are encouraged to develop their self-feeding skills. The outdoor play spaces are very large, seem very safe, and filled with fresh air and gorgeous views—an environment that feels just right for exploration and play. In my opinion, this school provides the perfect combination of nurturing care and high-quality education that I wanted for my own children at that age and I have no reservations about recommending it to families in their area.
My 18 month old son has enjoyed STEM! The staff is easy to work with, and kind to my child. One of my favorite features is the picture/video updates throughout the day- the dance party videos are beyond cute. He comes home learning new things constantly and seems excited when we tell him it’s time to go to “school”. The days are structured well with lots of fun activities that are perfect for a toddler!
STEM was a great school for my little one. I was surprised by how much she learned and how many friends she made.
We used STEM for our 14 month old son for a few months. We really loved them, felt our son was cared for and safe, he did tons of fun activities. The teachers were so nice to us and him. We only changed facilities because something more cost effective unexpectedly presented itself. Would highly recommend!
Our family loves STEM! Ms. Regina makes my child feel so welcome every day. The meals are healthy and included, which takes a load off my mind. I really appreciate getting updates and adorable photos through Brightwheel—it’s so nice to see what my child is doing and learning. Their hours fit my work schedule perfectly. I highly recommend this preschool!
As a working parent, I can’t say enough good things about STEM Child Care! The hours are super convenient for our schedule, and I love that healthy meals are included. The daily updates and adorable pictures/videos on Brightwheel give me such peace of mind. My child adores Ms. Bailey and is always excited to share something new he’s learned. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nurturing, engaging preschool! P.S. we've been to other centers and this one is the best that we've found. Skip the corporate centers.
STEM Child Care has been amazing for our family! My child loves coming here every day, and I can see so much growth already. Ms. Kenna is wonderful with the kids—so patient and engaged. I also really appreciate the fresh meals included since we are doing baby led weaning (huge time-saver!) and the extended hours that fit our work schedule. Getting updates and adorable photos on Brightwheel makes me feel connected all day. I recommend to all of my neighbors and friends with young kids.
I really want to thank each team member of Stem , I was great place for our child to grow in all the ways. We really enjoyed this journey with you all. Thank you so much once again for taking care of our child
STEM is the most wonderful daycare! We’ve been with them for over 6 years and they’ve made such a huge impact on our family. They ARE forever a part of our family and hearts. My children have thrived there as the staff is so loving, welcoming and nurturing. If you’re considering coming here, I have never had a single negative day here. I know that my children will get the best possible care here and receive photos throughout the day of my kids laughing and playing. Thank you STEM!
We’ve had a good experience with STEM Child Care. The staff is caring and attentive. Our two boys have made great progress socially and always come home with a smile. We’re grateful for the support and structure they’ve provided. Thank you to the team for all your hard work!
Our 2 boys have been at STEM since September of 2022. Stem has great hours which has allowed us to have quality care for our boys while navigating challenging work schedules. There are some really great teachers, Ms. Bailey and Ms. Regina just to name a couple!
STEM Child Care is an amazing place! All staff is caring. We fell in love with how clean and organized it is. The teachers are fantastic including Ms. Katelyn, Ms. Megan, and Ms. Julie. Everyone is loving and kind. They keep us up to date with everything happening with our daughter including developmental milestones, nutrition, and photos throughout the day. It is easy to communicate and get updates through the app. It is a safe facility with great security/cameras. Wonderful outdoor/indoor space for play time. Our daughter has learned so much here! We 100% recommend STEM for quality care!
We started taking our daughter to STEM when she was a newborn, and quickly had our anxieties about not being with her fade away as STEM provides detailed updates throughout each day that the students are there. They send pictures throughout the day and give updates on foods they eat, activities and motor skills they work on, when they nap, etc. The staff has been kind to us and our daughter at each classroom that she has graduated to, and daughter is truly excited when we walk through the door each day!
I visited and interviewed several childcare facilities before choosing STEM Childcare, and this was the only place I felt completely comfortable leaving my child. From the very beginning, the administrative team was incredibly helpful and responsive, answering all my questions and making the process seamless. The teachers are absolutely wonderful—kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the children. They are also so knowledgeable, and it was clear my child was in great hands. She had the best time there, and I never had to worry about her while she was at STEM. The app is another fantastic feature! It’s so easy to use, and I loved being able to communicate with the teachers and see pictures of her throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind. I can’t recommend STEM Childcare enough—it’s an amazing place, and we are so grateful for the experience!
