Mountain States Driver's Education, Inc.

Working with the Mountain States Driver's Education, Inc. was wonderful. I have a child with special needs, who we thought would never drive. Getting our child to take the driving school in person was impossible. MSDE understood and set me up with the online courses. Failing to get it done we were able to put the class on pause while our child reassigned his desire to keep going. We finally made it and were able to get his permit and put in 150 hours of driving with an adult. He truly needed need to have 6 hours with an MSDE staff, but felt it was best for him to see how to interact with someone other than his parents. Maria is diverse in working with special needs children, Spanish-speaking drivers, and those who just need confidence. What can I say? She is amazing. Our child felt comfortable with her and showed her how good of a driver he wanted to be. Maria asked why is he there. Understanding children (TEENS) with disabilities is more important than most realize. They are judged regularly for their indifferences and challenges. Maria made him feel confident and supported. Which is what he needed to be a good driver. Although he didn't really need any more training, Maria was able to teach him how to drive a stick shift, which was also important for a kid who wants to be an over-the-road truck driver. This gave him even more confidence in his driving ability. It takes a special person to get a kid like mine to trust them. She had it from the moment he met with her. Thank you Maria and we hope you will give him his driving test when it is time.

I came to this class expecting a very boring 4 days and a waste of time. I can now say that my experience was not that at all. I genuinely enjoyed the classes I attended. I learned a whole lot about driving and the particular rules in Colorado. But it did not stop at that. My instructor, Kindel Daniels, made sure to put a big and important emphasis on DUI's and drug abuse. He told us many times to be careful with our use of drugs and alcohol, and could use himself as an example of how it can be very good for us to not make habits at a young age. He himself rarely drinks. Kindel also took us outside today, and showed us the whole process of changing a tire, changing the oil, window washer fluid, radiator fluid, and cleaning the air filter. This knowledge was very valuable for me to have in case of future problems while driving. Kindel presented himself well and set his strict rules from the very beginning of the class. We knew exactly what was expected of us from the very start. I personally found this to be very helpful and I knew I would have respect for Kindel right away. Kindel was a very good instructor.

This was very informative. Driving is inherently interesting to me and that interest only increased with the Amazing Kindel Daniels! His jokes come at the literal perfect time all the while I still get the responsibility and magnitude of being a save driver. I loved this, never thought I’d look forward to a seemingly endless and boring class. Give Mr Daniels a raise! This Drivers ed class is a 10 out of 10 and 100% recommend.
