Ask what changed after each, and whether the state has been back.
On the visit: what you can only see — how the room smells, whether teachers are down on the floor with the children, how staff speak to each other. Those, and the 7 questions worth hearing answered out loud, are in the note below.
Where every fact on this page came from, and when Shortlist last checked it against that source. Anything Shortlist could not source is named here rather than left blank.
Not yet reported: established, teaching approach.
Every state visit and complaint on file, shown in full and never edited. Open a date to read what the state wrote. Covers complaints received January 2023 through July 2026; Colorado Department of Early Childhood does not publish routine inspection reports, so this is not a record of every state visit.
