Mountain Shadows KinderCare - Colorado Springs, Colorado

PROs:
-The management is nice and most of the teachers are as well
-The schedule is flexible for drop-off and pickup
-They have cooking class for kids even though they are expensive
-They have different themes every month and things they learn

CONs:
-The rooms are outdated and are in need of a remodel
-The management isn't good at communicating. For example, our teacher changed and we didn't know until the new teacher was there. We could have received a message at least through the app
-There is a fun schedule of things like pajamas day but NO ONE does it. It would be great if teachers and management did and that messages were sent through the app to help engage everyone
-The nap times are REALLY long. For toddlers it starts around 1230 and goes to 230. Toddlers cannot get off their mat during this time which seems unfair if you have a 3 year old for example who doesn't nap. I feel like one room should be made for the awake kids to play together
-There isn't much outdoor time, only 30min until about 3/4PM which they go outside again if kids are still there. Wish circle time and things would be moved outside if nice out.

We loved kindare care. The teachers are great and professional. I was getting lots of updates with pictures through the day. It was so so helpful especially when it was my son's first time at daycare. My 18 month old son had a great time there even at his first day. I was always sure that he is safe, taken care of and having fun at kinder care. We had to switch the daycares only due to the distance. It was too far from our home and even further from our work.

I LOVE this center. This is the second time my kiddos have been here and each experience has been great. Lori is an AMAZING center director and is always amazingly accommodating. My older kids are here in the summer and my little kids are here year round. They offer amazing programs and always have so much fun. Even when I had to take a break for a couple weeks my kids spots weren't lost which is amazing. My 3 year old loves it here and they are so attentive and loving of my 3 month old.

I had my daughter enrolled in this Center for 4+ years, from infant to the pre-k. Moving out of the center only because my daughter's school is outside the pickup zone for this center She had a wonderful time and had good learning in all aspects (behavior, food habits, knowledge, education). All of the staffs are caring and like kids and willing to spend time to listen to them and interact with them genuinely. Almost every day when I picked her, she was happy and cheerful that showed the care she was getting in the center. Occasionally we had some concerns on hygiene, food quality, etc and every time our words are heard and proper changes are made. Special mention to the admin staff Ms. Lori and Ms. Robin, both are always welcoming and helpful. Overall we are highly satisfied with this center (being satisfied for 4+ years) and strongly recommend this center for anyone who is looking for quality childcare.

My girls started daycare here, for the first time, back in August 2020. I was so scared and skeptical with Covid and not seeing the place in person and the whole thing just being a new experience, BUT since day one, the ladies (and gentlemen) have been beyond helpful with answering questions, loving my girls and just being so upfront and helpful with this new experience! Since starting, my kids’ teachers have not only exceeded the expectations I had, but the continue to go above and beyond! My youngest had ALWAYS been attached to me, however since starting daycare she has been less attached (in a good way) and LOVES and adores her teachers, especially Ms. Maureen! The director and all the admin staff (Ms Robin, Ms Nikki and Ms Lori) have been wonderful! I will truly miss this location when the army decides to move us again. Hearing about my kids’ days and seeing the connection they have with everyone there (kids and staff) is just so warming to this mama heart!! I highly recommend this kindercare location!

My kid has been going to this center for the last 4 years now and I wouldn't change a thing. I make the drive from Fountain everyday because I know my son is in good hands. The staff is amazing, they are very hands on and never hesitate to answer questions. They will work with you if any issues should arrive. I absolutely love this daycare and the staff here.

I really like the Mountain Shadows KinderCare. The teachers are wonderful. My almost 3 year old has learned so much at school, even starting to potty train. He will be well prepared for real school when that day comes. He loves going to school to see his teachers and friends! I know my infant is well cared for as well. I enjoy all the extra programs they offer: cooking class, music class, parent's night out, fun dress up days. I would definitely recommend this KinderCare to anyone.

I absolutely love this KinderCare location. My daughter attended from 6 weeks old to 7 months old, if we had moved anywhere but out of COS, I would have made the drive so she could stay at this awesome center. She was always happy and worn out from playing with her friends and teacher through the day. The staff and teachers were friendly and put in an effort in getting to know each child as an individual as well as their parents. You really feel involved, even during Covid. They sent us updates through their app with pictures and videos of what they were doing that day and of her participating in playing and interacting with sensory activities. The app they use also provided updated times and frequency of meals, diaper changes, naps, and daily notes. Super helpful to monitor any health changes. As for location, heaven forbid they would ever need them, the building is right next door to the fire department. I honestly have nothing negative to say!
