I set up a time for my son and I to do a walk through and talk to the owner of Sugar and Spice. My…read moreson wasn't given an activity to do so he was bored like most 3 year olds.. and started running around doing his typical ninja moves. Because of that, one of the first questions the owner asked me was if he has been diagnosed with ADD/HD! I immediately made my decision on looking elsewhere. Had they given my son something to do, even just joining the class while we talked, he would not have gotten bored enough to run around. Not to mention, we stood in a very distracting area while the kids had their snacks. This was very discouraging for my first preschool visit.

Even though I wish I could recommend this daycare because I believe some of the teachers are really…read moregreat at what they do, I wouldn't recommend anyone taking their child here. We encountered issues and when we addressed them with the director, we were given excuse after excuse and things continued to deteriorate. Then, a new child in our child's class started biting other children including our daughter, and sometimes it happened every day. The director's way of handling the situation was to 'continue to train the staff and monitor the child more closely.' Needless to say, the behavior continued and then they started removing the child who was being bitten (not the child who was actually biting other children) and taking them to a younger classroom so they had to miss out on the activities happening in their class. We finally had to remove our daughter from this center when it became clear that nothing was going to be done to protect the children being victimized by another child who had displayed a clear pattern of behavior that needed to be handled in a more deliberate fashion but went largely ignored. Another child who was being victimized was also removed from the center about the same time as our daughter by her parents because they were met with the same response from the director. Our daughter was also constantly sick, which may be a given when a bunch of children are together all day. However, it resulted in her having to have surgery and she was STILL sick all the time afterwards. Now that she is no longer attending this center, she no longer struggles with being sick constantly. And, of course, when we addressed this concern with the director, we were met with excuses. The main root of the problem at this center is that the director is incapable, or simply unwilling, of actually solving problems, and instead resorts to blaming the staff and making excuses to placate the parents. The teaching staff did everything they could to help us with this situation but their hands were tied since the director wouldn't do anything about it. The turnover rate at this center is ridiculously high, and is reportedly due to the director making it a hostile workplace that teachers don't want to work in. There are also reports of infestations of mice and cockroaches in the buildings.

There is no better environment in the KC area for a kid to grow and learn! :) I can't imagine a better school! Little Sprouts is led with love and a vision for whole-child care through and through. Natalie, the owner, has been the best employer I have ever worked for- kind, flexible, accommodating, and a great leader who has extensively trained for Montessori education as well as behavior management and nonviolent communication. I learn from her daily and feel like I am part of loving community at our school. All of the parents are collaborators with us teachers in the care and education of their precious children. I love each child as if they are my own. My position is unique as both a parent and a teacher, and for that I am blessed. I can't thank Natalie, and my coteachers enough for the precious and inspiring time my daughter and I have had at Little Sprouts these past two years.

They quickly discover how best to motivate your child. You will be surprised at how the teachers' gentle guidance and support will transform your child into a happy, excited learner. Our oldest daughter (now 7) attended Phoenix for preschool and kindergarten, and our youngest (3) is currently enrolled. The curriculum is challenging but also gives them ample opportunity to express themselves with art and other projects. Even after graduation, the teachers remain interested in your child's success and are a helpful resource as you transition into a regular school. One of our favorite things about Phoenix is that graduates are always welcome to come back a visit ... creating a wonderful continuity in their education! I cannot recommend the school enough. If you want an exceptional Montessori education for your child, Phoenix is a perfect option.
