They set the standards high and it definitely shows, they even hold conferences for each age group and will sit down and go through everything with you and address any concerns and make sure they help with any goals your child may need a little help with. Everyone is so welcoming and kind the minute you walk through the door; Mrs. Emma and Ms. Wendy have always answered all of our questions in a timely manner and are just so helpful. Ms. Wendy actually was in the infant room with our first when we first started attending LSP and she made the transition so easy and was always let us know that our daughter would be in good hands! It was a true comfort when you drop your first child off in a new place, but she always put our minds at ease and you could tell how much she cared for the children! Mrs. Heike was the infant teacher for our son and you can truly tell she loves all of the infants in her care and she is always communicates all the adorable things our son did or his accomplishments at that age. Our kids have since moved up in classrooms and the teachers along the way have been so fantastic! Ms. Elysia has helped to make our sons transition and drop off easier in the morning once he got older and drops offs became harder for him. She also pays such close attention to any of concerns and even gave me the links to the ASL the kids are learning to help us work with our son the very specific things they learned that day in class so we can help him work on his speech and ASL at home! She is truly just so wonderful! Ms. Lyuba his other teacher is always so kind! She makes sure to ask us how our day was and to make sure she shares something unique about our sons day or something he did that day and it's just so lovely knowing that when we are away at work he has such a wonderful teacher paying such close attention to him and celebrating his little successes! As for our daughter her current teachers have just helped to make her blossom! Ms. Aliyah (Aly) has been so great in helping us with our daughter and her speech and just really finding her voice! She has been so patient and kind and willing to help us with whatever her speech therapist has recommended! Mrs. Kim has made our daughters day multiple times by changing her hairdo into something more spectacular than what we sent her with that day, it literally is sometimes the highlight of her day! And it means so much to have someone make someone so small feel so darn special! And the floaters Ms. Seven and Ms. Kaley are also so amazing in helping out and dotting on the children and helping them learn along the way! Both of our children have learned and grown so much while at LSP! There has never been a day that our oldest has not loved her day! I could go on forever about how amazing this place is and how grateful we are for the care and curriculum the kids learn! So thank you LSP we are truly so blessed to have such amazing and loving teachers for our children!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
