    If you're in the area and looking for childcare, I would be passionately urging you to check this…read moreplace out. - Locally owned - in fact, the owner Lydia is physically present and has her own child (or children, I'm not sure) in the facility. - When we were searching, it was important that the facility accommodate the dietary preference we have for our daughter - not medical dietary needs, dietary preferences. Other childcare facilities said I had to have a doctor's note for them to accommodate (um, no). When asked AAC, here's their response, which I think will help you understand what they're all about: Oh our owner is very passionate about different eating preferences, in fact, she is meeting with the chef and they are revamping the menu. They like to make different meals look the same so the kids don't feel odd eating something different (e.g. Vegetarian vs. Meat). At that moment I fell in love. Another one of the most memorable perks was the fact that they have their own "cafeteria/gym" area which is where the kitchen is, but they also hold Daddy Daughter dance type of events, and they also hold activities during the day for your kiddo to attend (like soccer or piano) which helps alleviate as many evening activities if so desired! Lastly and most importantly, their curriculum strategy and execution for Reggio is on point. I visited some places that execute it at bare minimum just to claim it, not this place. They are thoughtful in their strategy and passionate in their execution.

The staff are extremely friendly and all of the teachers have been outstanding. We've become so attached to each of the teachers that we have worried if the next teacher will be just as good as the previous. Much to our satisfaction AAC hires very qualified and genuinely nice teachers. We can tell that they truly love our children. We really like the extra lengths AAC goes to make the experience feel like a family. They have a dad/daughter dance as well as a mom/son movie night each year. Price is competitive with other schools in the area.

    We did a tour. The facility didn't impress us and that's OK, new management dealing with a weird…read morelayout. The staff - seemed like every single teacher was just sitting. Literally sitting. That's ok too, though. Teachers get tired and want to just sit. Here were our problems: While touring it was almost lunch time. We walked by sandwiches sitting on a paper plate with plastic wrap loosely placed over. Right above it was paint jugs - the kind that the paint has dripped all over. Still not horrible. Here's what was horrible: I asked about food preferences for my daughter and how we go about accommodating those. They said they don't accommodate those without a doctor slip. Insert confused face here. I clarified with the director and sure enough, she insists on a doctors note for a parent to choose what their child eats. I can say we toured many childcare options in a stretch of 10-15 miles and not one other facility had this response. In fact, All Around Child in Overland Park had this response when I asked: Oh our owner is very passionate about food options. Her and the chef sit and plan the menu every quarter and they design the food to all look the same even if one is vegetarian for example, so the kids don't feel odd about eating differently. And they're the same price! Shop around. Find the best option.

    We attended for about a 6 weeks and found the center to be a very sterile/antiseptic environment…read more No sense of creativity, exploration, etc. They have a lot of fancy lesson plans but way too much structure for preschoolers. The kids are expected to sit on a vinyl circle on the floor quietly at look at books at 8am during drop off, no getting out toys/centers while their friends eat their microwaved breakfast. This expectation of course, does not work. Food is all casserole based and brought in from another site. Playground is nice but I once asked why there were no balls and they told me they get thrown over the fence. Ummm, they're kids, go get the balls. The security is good but reduces the sense of group/community and contact kids have with one another. I'm sure it affects employee morale too. We were unimpressed with our teacher who seemed just there to collect a paycheck and really couldn't tell me much about my sons day, development, peer interaction, etc. She was neither warm, friendly or fun. The director spends his afternoons on runs, as in running for exercise. The phone does not always get answered, when I call to check on my kid, I expect the phone to be answered. Every.Single.Time. The final straw for us was watching our kid (along with many others) sadly stand at the window every day and wave bye to their parents - heartbreaking. This never happened at our other center - literally never. I have a coworker who had to pull her son due to an unaddressed bullying issue. Despite this center being geographically ideal, it just was not worth it and we marched ourselves right back to Top Flight. We will never consider leaving again!

    Montessori Plus of Olathe is THE second home for my kids…read more Every day they are bringing home new skills in life as well as math and language skills. At Montessori plus my kids set the table for lunch, crack an egg to make a cake, are reading and doing math skills long before kindergarten, sing songs, exercise, etc. This place is everything I could hope for my kids. Then at the end of the day, they roll down the car window and holler BYE! SEE YOU TOMORROW! I LOVE YOU! What more could I ever ask for ? :)

    Natural Beginnings is a phenomenal home day care ran by Amber Beaver. She is so loving and patient…read morewith the children! My grandson attends there. He loves it!! They take walks to a local park, plenty of outdoor time ( which is sooooo important for little boys , especially!!) , yoga, Spanish , lots of cool crafts and projects... they even have a mini garden the kids get to help with!!!!!! He loves picking things in the garden best! :). She does a wonderful job of balancing education, hands on learning, physical and emotional development, while still allowing rime to just be a kid and ponder the amazing world around you! One of my favorite things about her that she feeds them so healthy!! He actually LOVES broccoli and veggies, thanks to Ms. Amber!!! This is priceless to me, as his health and well being are soo important to me! Not a lot of sugar here! She serves predominantly organic foods , which I especially love!!!! They always do special things for holidays. She uses a curriculum and does preschool as well to ensure your child is reading ready for school! He loves how much fun it is. I love all the value she gives by going far above and beyond what most providers do!! What a blessing she has been for my grandson!! You cannot go wrong with her!!
