I was very impressed with the philosophy of The Learning Center, their curriculum and the facility…read more It was higher priced but the options for childcare are very limited in Colorado Springs. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in their care for my 2 year old. He would be brought to me with a poopy diaper, dried snot on his face, extremely hungry and thirsty. They were documenting that he was eating 100% of his meals and snacks but he came home famished. They then admitted that they just mark in the computer that all the kids are 100% of their meals. They were going through 35 diapers a week and he was only there 35 hours a week. I started sending 4 diapers a day, then suddenly the same 4 diapers would come home in his bag each day. One time he came home with diapers that were not our brand. The turnover was unacceptable. They were on their 4th director in 1.5 years. The teachers came and went weekly. I never even met my son's teachers. If you wanted to talk to the teacher, you had to make an appointment and then they'd see if they could get classroom coverage for a 5 minute meeting. There was absolutely no communication with the teachers. Any communication was 3rd party through the director. When we started there we were on the 4th page of the sign in log. 3 months later, when we left we were on the 1st page. A lot of families came and went. Owner was not available as he said he would be.

He asks to go to school on the weekends and is sad when I tell him school is closed. This was not the case with his previous out of state school. I love it. Its beautiful inside and out with kid friendly murals and design. The instructors are wonderful with the children. They provide breakfast, snack, and lunch. All meals are excellent quality. The director, Tess, was more than helpful with getting us orientated and set up with the new enrollment of my son.

PARENTS BEWARE:…read more Feeding our baby breast milk from a stranger's mother was the final straw. But this was preceded by an instance of walking in on one of the caretakers shaking a crib a little too vigorously for comfort (all the while saying "GO TO SLEEP, GO TO SLEEP...."), and two months later my wife saw an open notebook where the teachers communicate during shift change where she read "fu*#! This MotherF@#$ing place see you all in hell tomorrow..." Given that the well-being of our children are in these people's care while we're off working each day, I'd expect that kind of behavior would result in an immediate firing. But despite our reports, not an apparent slap on the wrist resulted. Our infant was diagnosed with repeat cases of RSV (3 times) and ear infections several times. We feel this has a lot to to with a somewhat apathetic enforcement of their rules for sending sick children home and a generally unsanitary environment overall. This was all a shame, because there were some teachers that we really liked, but we just couldn't wait for another incident. The new daycare that we found was a bit more of a drive, but it's like night and day: When you walk into Young Scholars Academy, it's immediately like day/night from Little Sprouts. Everything is clean, it smells nice, each classroom has a structured curriculum posted with lessons in history, science, etc.. And mostly you can just tell that the vast amount of money you pay goes back onto making the daycare a much better place. At Little Sprouts, it's become very apparent that the money you pay goes into the bank account of a single person who exists behind the curtains. They don't even fill their hand sanitizers, bathrooms have been found to be missing either soap or paper towels (my personal pet peeve). 2 stars out of sympathy mostly, for the few good teachers that have to endure working at this place.

After touring many childcare facilities we finally decided upon Little Sprouts for our newborn. We…read moreare both teachers and love this school. The main pull for us was the organic meals and environmentally friendly approach that Little Sprouts implements. They also have a really nice outdoor play area and animals for the kids!!! The head staff, Sara and Tesa, are amazing individuals. Very caring and always there for you & your kids needs. Another neat thing is that they accept cloth diapers, which very few places will do. They've done a great job with getting my 10 month old into a sleep/nap schedule! This made this momma very happy. Also, the place is wonderfully clean. Everything gets deep cleaned each evening. I'm slightly OCD with cleanliness and I have no problem sitting on the floor and playing with my little one.

Let me tell you, all these years later my girls tell me that they had the best experience with Song Bird daycare. I too learned many things. Song is the most caring and patient person with children. She exposed them to so many new experiences, new food, songs, and games. She even gave me lessons in how to make kimbob and bulgolgi. Which my kids decided they wanted nothing else to eat but these two foods for years afterwards. She was a great provider and teacher to my children for several years in the 90's and I am sure she is continues to provide only the best for all of the children she takes care of.

If I have a day off and I keep my son for the day, everyone tells me how much they've missed him the next day. This is a preschool, but they have add on programs that are more personalized; my son is currently in phonics and we may opt into math. There is also dance, karate, and soccer seasons. You get updated once or twice a day in the activities your child has done that day, with a picture of them in action. My 8 year old daughter had a blast in the summer program! They have parents night out my husband and I utilize for date night. The Director, Elizabeth, is super sweet and you can tell she takes care of her staff. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend this school.

Hello, I just came out here to say this location is horrible to visit. The staff are very…read moreunprofessional and rude. Every time I call to ask a question, they avoid answering and hang up. For example, I asked, "Can I bring my lacrosse stick in and use it on the treadmill. All I would be doing is holding it in my hand and running with it. The lady on the phone, in a rude voice, said, "No, bye," and hung up on me. Before, I could speak. Every time I go to this location, when I walk in, they do not even acknowledge me. Even though they are not doing anything, I say, "Hi, how are you?" and they do not respond. They stare at me when I leave, and when I say thank you and have a good one again, they just stare and do not respond. Furthermore, when I am in the gym, 95% of the time there is no staff down there. Even when there is, they sit on their phones, and they look down. They do not even walk around. They sit there on their phone, do not acknowledge you, and when you go to ask them a question, they stare at their phone and then say they do not know. On top of that, I am paying a ridiculous amount of money to go there each month. It is wild how much they charge you since no one goes there anymore. A lot of their equipment is outdated. It is also very dirty and not very clean. Personally, the staff there is very rude. They do not really take you seriously; they look at their phones, do not respond, and show a lack of human decency. Personally, next summer, when I am back, I will not be coming back here. I am very disappointed because I am paying a lot of money to get disrespected. I can see why a lot of people are not at this location when I go there: the staff is ignorant. When I was younger, the YMCA used to be a fun, happy place. The staff were nice and would greet you. Now, when I walk in, they sit on their phones, do not answer my questions, and have an attitude. I am highly disappointed in how the YMCA has changed over the years. Comming back to the YMCA I thought it would be still very lively and be a great place, but it has gotten sad depressing and it is dirty and not clean. I advise you to choose a cheaper gym so you do not have to pay these high rates, and maybe the staff there will treat you better than any YMCA in Colorado. Thank you!!

They were all well prepared for kindergarten and made the school transition easily. My kids loved their teachers and would talk about all the neat facts, silly songs, yoga poses and fun lessons from their school day. We did the option for Soccer Shots program as well. As a parent, I appreciate the early drop off (630am!) and late pickup at 6pm. The teachers assist with specific transitions such as introducing food (directed by parents/packed lunches/snacks), potty training (kids will help each other line up), and phasing out nap time for kindergarten. We weathered through COVID - the staff and owners were clear with limits and expectations. As a healthcare worker - the school remained open and an option throughout the whole time. There is some teacher turnover, but there are also staff/teachers who have been there for years (and taught all my kids - Ms Cheryl!) . I never had any issues about staff interactions with the children. Ms Anand (owner) is available on site and also responded via email quickly. She knew all the kids names and was always pleasant.
