Communication with this location is extremely challenging. We were so often frustrated with…read moreextremely slow responses - 1month or more on average with multiple follow ups to get important paperwork, for example (the only way we got results was escalating to leadership above this specific location's senior staff or physically stopping by and waiting until paperwork was provided). Monthly calendars were not delivered in a timely manner, making it hard to have fun with and effectively plan for themed days. Major events like the Christmas program and graduation followed this same pattern, making involving family in these important milestone events challenging and sometimes impossible. Staff turnover is high. This is apparently due to concerns with compensation, pressure, hours, internal politics and lack of fulfilled growth plans promised (from reviews elsewhere and first-person accounts from staff). The cost per week is on the higher side for our area. There seems to be a disparity. We were unhappy with philosophies of the leadership that no longer aligned with our values and ethics, and the culture we were promised when we chose SB for our childcare, which resulted in our ultimate departure. There is no more important decision than with whom you entrust the care of your children. Anyone searching for childcare should be thorough in researching a center's license, history and reviews from both customers and staff. If a center isn't timely in returning your interest inquiry, as multiple reviews indicate, take that as an important signal of their value system and ability to service the families attending the center. There were several teachers throughout our time at the center that were extraordinary. Most have left. Classic example of "could be great" and "should be great." But isn't.

It started out fine the first few years when our daughter was a baby. They have a few teachers that…read morewe really liked in the younger class rooms. By the time she got to pre K we had issues with bullying from the other kids, especially with two teachers in the class room. We had to address it a number of times in less than a week. Things seemed to get a little better but not totally satisfied with the outcome. They did "assessments" on the kids which helped track the development about every quarter. Only problem was it did not assess if they were on track for their age. Some of the assessments did not mirror what we were seeing at home. Some of the assessments said we should hold our daughter back in Pre k for another year. We chose not to and our daughter is thriving in Kindergarten. The new manager did not send out information in a timely manager.

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 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.
