Blue Valley Montessori is a culturally diverse school where children explore, develop and flourish at an individual pace. They develop a foundation in language, math, physical and cultural geography, botany, physical science, music and more. We have been proudly providing an authentic Montessori experience to the Overland Park area since 1999. All of our lead teachers are Montessori certified and each classroom has the full range of Montessori materials. Additionally, we provide the very best child care/daycare to local families. Students range from toilet-trained two-and-a-half-year olds to six-year-olds. We strive to provide a loving and consistent environment for children with an emphasis on academic excellence. We have grown into a very close-knit community over the years. The classrooms of Blue Valley Montessori School hum with sounds of happy children.

I have nothing but positive things to say about LSP in Overland Park. My daughter has been…read moreattending LSP since she was about 3 months old and I have been very impressed with LSP every step of the way. We love the daily report card, the ability to watch a live video feed of our daughter's classroom, and the safe and secure location. When accidents have occurred (which happen to all babies as they learn and grow), they have been addressed promptly and my wife and I are notified the next time we pick-up our daughter. Miss Madison, Miss Grace, and many of the other staff members have been fabulous to trust our daughter with each day. We have loved watching her grow over the past year and look forward to the months and years to come. You get what you pay for in a daycare, and LSP is truly worth every penny. From the work-friendly drop-off (6:00am) and pick-up (6:00pm) times to the loving teachers and everything in between, we greatly appreciate LSP!

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.

I've been a member here semi-regularly since 2002. I'll leave for a year and then be drawn back by…read morethe value and features that the JCC offers. The facility offers many features including an indoor pool, a huge 50M outdoor lap pool, water slides, diving boards, squash courts (my personal fav), racket ball courts, kids gym with rock climbing wall, basketball courts, indoor track, weight room, yoga studio, spinning studio, tennis courts, softball diamonds, soccer fields... Whew... That is just the athletic facilities. They also offer many other community related services such as pre-school, day care, child and adult education, self defense training, fine arts programming... etc... The JCC is truly a world-class facility and my corporate membership that costs ~$50 per month is a steal! Generally speaking, for such a large facility with so many members, the place never seems jam-packed with people like Life Time Fitness always seems to be. The longest that I've ever waited for a lane at the indoor pool is about 30 minutes. 95% of the time I dont even need to wait. I've never waited for a lane at the outdoor pool and I always am able to schedule a squash court. I hesitate to write this review because I dont want a mad-rush of new members to spoil my oasis... :-D The JCC is a truly great facility and a asset to the greater KC Area...

It's a step up from what the city offers and is a bit more expensive, but less intense than KC Ballet, which was what I was looking for. The only reason I'm going 4/5 is because the complex is massive and for folks like me that are only coming once a week for a class it was really hard to find where I needed to go on day one and the folks at the front desk had no idea where the dance classes were held. They were very nice though so that did soften the blow. Now that I know where to go it's all smooth sailing and I'd recommend them to others.

They have been nothing but professional and courteous to our whole family, even my 6 year old when she runs in the toddler room at pick-up and starts playing with their toys. They are so accepting and caring! I had anxiety of finding the right daycare for her before enrolling, and the worry is relieved by them daily. They send out love notes every single day, have cameras in the classrooms, feed them a great diet, and take wonderful care of our girl. I wouldn't want my daughter to go anywhere else!! Don't let a blasphemous review stop you from finding out how great they are at LSP. They're hands down the best child care center in town!!

I highly recommend LSP Leawood for anyone looking for a loving, caring environment for their child!…read moreEveryone at their location is incredibly friendly, kind, and thoughtful from their program director, Emily, to my son's teachers, Autumn and Miranda. I was lucky enough to keep my son home with me until he was 6 months old and was incredibly nervous about someone else watching him when that time came. The entire staff made sure to ease all of my concerns and I couldn't imagine him being anywhere else. Miranda and Autumn truly treat my son as if he was theirs and I couldn't ask for a more loving environment for him.

Hey I'd say yes take 'em here!…read more As a single mother that places a lot of value on my daughters education and learning engagement I want to be the first to say this Kinder Care is very sure that my child is learning according to her age. Whenever I tap in to see how her day is going, I've seen where a video/picture of her dancing to direction of pointing up, down, stop moving, go,or going over the letter of the day or discussing the weather etc. Then when she gets home I would hear her making observations about the weather on her own on different days and she is right it is cloudy or sunny or proper to say good morning or excuse me. Not to mention I would also test her and ask which way is up or down or what letter is this...and she gets it right. This makes it so easy to help me get her ready for Kindergarten as a toddler. Trust me your child will be engaged in learning accordingly. Thanks South OP KS KinderCare!

We appreciate how Tammy has been all ears and open to hearing all of our woes and concerns. Three years ago we were on the waitlist to start our first and when there was an opening the communication felt very lacking and our gut instinct was to hold out. We are very glad we did and it seems the timing worked out how it was supposed to. The communication with the guides has been great and we have the opportunity to watch our kids once a week in the classroom. We can call in anytime and check in with what our boys are up to and looking over their daily pictures gets our kids talking about their day. So far our experience has been good.

The staff has been incredibly accommodating and has truly gone above and beyond to support our family. Since starting at Guidepost, I have seen both of my children thrive--not only in their development, but also in their social and life skills. Every teacher is incredibly kind, loving, and genuinely invested in the success of all the students. I have complete peace of mind knowing my children are safe, supported, and well cared for each day. In addition to the amazing teachers, I truly believe the success of Guidepost Montessori Leawood is due to Tammy, the Head of School, and Kelsy, the Assistant Head of School. Since they began, the school truly feels like a family. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community.

We were initially excited about enrolling our daughter in a Spanish immersion program, but…read moreunfortunately, this daycare was not a good fit. We withdrew our 6-month-old after just a couple of months due to ongoing concerns. The classroom was consistently overheated--so much so that sleep sacks weren't allowed, and even after dressing her in light summer clothes, we were told daily that she was sweating and fussy. There's also no real-time communication or app--just a paper report at pickup, which regularly stated she was grumpy. At home, she's incredibly calm (we call her "baby chill"), so we were surprised by the daily feedback. We even brought in a baby bjorn to help soothe her, but the promised A/C repairs never materialized. Sadly, we can't recommend this school based on our experience.

My son loves the food there (he often cleans his plate there while only eating half of what we give him at home). As far as the language piece goes, I love that our kid is set up to speak another language, the groundwork for language at a young age is very important. It is a bit more expensive than some of the other options available, but none of these places can compete with the educational advantages and immersion program can offer.
