I shopped around and interviewed 4 or 5 places in Lee's Summit before I found this gem…read more Wonderful staff, very responsible and caring. Small class sizes. After we checked out various places around town, my wife and I sat down to chat about it. We both picked this place as giving us the best "vibe" of any of the schools we looked at. Pricing is reasonable. There is a summer session as well if you are into that. My only minor beef, very minor, is that they follow the Lee's Summit schools if weather is "bad". They pretty much call off school at the drop of a hat in LS in my opinion. Additionally, the LS schools seem to have some kind of holiday or whatnot constantly. However, I'd assume most of the preschools are similar these days, so I can't really penalize Traditions for what is probably standard practice. Some of the larger daycares that I jokingly call "puppy mills" with zillions of kids are open more often and close less readily I think. Again, though, it is what it is, and I'd rather send my daughter to a higher quality place versus one where the schedule was slightly more convenient given the choice. We've been sending our daughter here for two years now and I can't think of any reason to consider anywhere else in the LS area. From what I can gather, other parents are equally happy with them. Over winter break, our kiddo was missing this place so much, she was carrying a backpack around asking us to play school with her. That's a good sign that your child is being treated well at school, when they can't wait to go back.

That place is going downhill with no brakes! My 2 year old attended CWS for a little over year…read more During this timeframe, I saw a major decline in quality of care and an extremely HIGH turnover of good teachers. My son got a new teacher every 2 months! I also witnessed several state regulations not being followed and teachers yelling at kids. Do not fooled by the colorful "exploratory" as it's a facade. I let never looked "played in" and I never seen any kids playing no matter what time I would arrive, my son never brought drawing home either. In my opinion, It's not a school; it's Lee's Summit's most expensive babysitting service. Do your research - I would not recommend.

My daughter spent almost three years at Creative World in Lee's Summit, from October 2009-August…read more2012 (ages 3-5). This was by far the best preschool experience she could have experienced. The teachers were loving, caring, and even gave us their cell phone #s when we left so we could keep in contact with them. There isn't high teacher turnover at that school, and most of the teachers were there for the three years that my daughter was. Creative World is not a typical pre-school, and it seems to be closer to a Montessori learning program. Kids learn by exploration and experimenting, and their Exploratorium allows them the opportunity to experience lots of different things. We only left because my daughter was starting kindergarten. If this location had a private kindergarten, we would've kept her there. After our first parent/teacher conference in kindergarten, we knew that Creative World had been the best place for our daughter. She was developmentally and academically ahead of the other students in her class, and I attribute that to the education and care she got while attending Creative World.

But if I were you I'd pay more to go somewhere else. They are very unprofessional here. My child's teacher is dating the father of another kid in the class. I see him in the classroom not picking up his kids, just flirting with her and making plans together. My kid asked why the teacher wouldn't come to our house at night "because she goes to that other kids house all the time!" I also had to explain what METH is because he told me the teacher has a kid (he is also in the class) but not a husband because the dad "loved meth more than he loved her". So yeah. Oh, and the building is pretty worn down and my son hates the food (and he's never complained about his school or daycare lunches before).

This facility and their entire staff welcome us with open arms. Wish I could give them 6 stars!
