Does anyone have any guidance on either of these two daycares—Sonshine Daycare or Primrose?

Looking to transition our kiddo to one of these two daycares. Curious if anyone has any firsthand experience as a parent about the two daycares listed? We are currently at Goddard but looking to find a slightly more affordable daycare that provides food. Thanks in advance 🙏

Move to Denver/Boulder with a HS Girl - soccer

Looking to move back to Arvada/Superior/Broomfield/Boulder but now have a 14 year old daughter. She plays for the high school soccer team here in TN and I want to look for houses in area where she would have the best education (looks like all areas mentioned above have great ratings) but also has a decent chance of playing for the high school in Colorado. Anyone have insight into the area high school soccer teams? It’s very competitive here in TN so trying to understand if it’s the same in CO.

Vet with reasonable prices

We brought out pups to Harmony Vet. They are very nice and have great facilities. Both vets I've met have been very nice as well. We brought our dog in for a dental and it was just over $3,000. We were a bit sticker shocked, but he needed the work done. Now a few weeks later one of our other dogs is having issues and the quote is $3,500 - $4,500. This seems very expensive as we've had our dogs treated with similar work for far less back east. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good vet that's less expensive?

Barber recommendations?

Hi all, Could really use a good barber recommendation. Usually go to Brazilian barbers in south Florida for a skin fade but since moving here I've gone through most of the usual suspects/big chains and I'm just not happy with the pricing and outcome. (Floyds,great clips, a few other higher end places like prospect trail)

I don't mind paying 30-40$ with tip if it's a good spot but some of these better places are charging $55 before tip for a men's haircut...it's a sick joke.

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Russians in Arvada

This is not a xenophobic post just genuinely curious. Is Arvada a popular destination for Russians or Eastern Europeans? I recently moved to Arvada and have had three interactions with Russians within the past week or so. I lived in Denver for almost 12 years and don’t recall much Russian related interactions outside of the Avalanche and Red Square.

men's shoe shine recommendations in the Arvada area?

Hi. Curious if any locals have a place they take (or would recommend) taking their dress shoes to be polished? Could be a cobbler or shoe repair place, or similar. Thanks.

Moving from Arizona

Hi everyone!

My wife and I are looking to make the move to Arvada (or surrounding area) in spring/early summer. I have scoured all of the sources here and wanted to get some advice.

  1. I am an Arizona native and my wife is from Chicago Originally, so I was wondering how fierce the winters are.

  2. We also have twin 15 month olds, so good daycares are important. Are there long waitlists?

  3. Are there good climbing gyms around the area? We love climbing and want to be close to one.

  4. Is there a lot of wildlife or do they stay out of neighborhoods?

  5. We want a neighborhood that is super friendly, where everyone knows each other and aren’t standoffish. And also welcoming of same-sex couples that have kids together.

We are so excited to make this leap and just want to make the best decisions on where we go!

Looking for a good dim sum place in Arvada or nearby. Would love a more traditional place with lots of different dumpling options, it comes out on the rolling cart, etc etc. Anyone know a place?

Looking for a salon that gives a good men's haircut.

Like the title says. Can't seem to find a salon that is good for men around here. Went to Lyndsey Walker and got one of the worst hair cuts ever. I think the girl was giving her first men's haircut.
