My kids love her! shes grown to be a grandma to them. And has helped me in many ways that I can't thank enough.

It's hard to find ppl that really care and love your kids and I have found that within mrs. Jackie.

My daughter Wednesday is 2 and started at Purple Dragon Preschool in late September. Before that,…read moreshe was at Primrose. I was initially a bit nervous since Purple Dragon is more structured and has a lot of vegetables on the menu -- but honestly, we've had such a great experience. Clean school and cost friendly. We saved about a hundred per week going here. Makes a difference for our growing family! I can tell my daughter is well loved - she hasn't once mentioned her old school ha! Purple Dragon doesn't have an app, but I don't mind. Ms. Mila sent me pictures during Wednesday's first two weeks, which was really thoughtful. She also told me to check the papers in my daughter's backpack daily -- now it's become a fun little ritual we do together while dinner is in the oven. I can tell this week they're working on D, E & F vocabulary, farm animals, coloring, and colors. We're also practicing pulling pants up and down to get ready for potty training. Ms. Mila even sends home adorable magazine cutouts as "homework" to help with Wednesday's speech. It's small touches like that that make a big difference. A core memory for us: on her second day home from Purple Dragon, Wednesday was dancing and singing their school song all over the house. Chris and I looked at each other like, "Okay... she *loves* this place!" So far, so good! My daughter is happy, eats vegetables *by the bowl* (just wow!), and even though it's a bit out of the way for us, I truly can't imagine her going anywhere else. Thank you Ms. Mila & Ms. Yoselin -- we're so grateful for you.

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!

Absolutely amazing. Every teacher is personally invested in each child. This location has the…read more*BEST* daycare staff I have ever encountered. When we pick our kid(s) up, they are always happy and clean. (I've been to other daycare facilities where the kids' noses are never even wiped or your shoes stick to the floor.) The classrooms are spacious and very clean. To top it all off, they are super friendly for foster families. Many daycares are difficult to work with or won't even accept foster children. This facility and their entire staff welcome us with open arms. Wish I could give them 6 stars!

During my time at Primrose Leawood, I observed an overwhelming amount of children had behavioral…read moreissues with many of them being quite severe and disruptive. It is left solely up to the teachers to discipline and handle these behaviors with no support. For example, kindergarten students regularly physically fight each other and some are still not required to be potty trained which results in many accidents in class. When management is called in, the child is rewarded for misbehaving. When behavior escalates and parents are informed, they scream at the management who then get mad at the teachers. If behavioral management isn't a strong skill, I would look somewhere else. Additionally, the management is comprised of four team members. One is amazing, one is competent, one refuses to do her job, to the detriment of the teachers and their curriculum, and one is too obsessed with drama and judgment towards her young, female employees to even realize she has a job. The amount of judging and degrading language I received or overheard from the director is appalling. If you believe she isn't judging you, think again! Unfortunately, jealously is a disease that McDowel cannot find a cure for. Lastly, the veteran teachers are wonderful and kind! My coteacher was a saint! You will be set up for success if paired with one of them. Unfortunately this is not true for all teachers. Many teachers in the younger rooms spend the whole day on their phones and offload all responsibilities onto their coteacher, regardless of if they're the teacher assigned to the room or not. Even during outdoor recess, the prekindergarten teachers will sit out of sight on the wall on their phones rather than make sure the kids are safe, leaving the safety of 24 children solely on you. It is extremely disheartening and dangerous that this is a known issue that is allowed to continue. All in all, there are clear issues that make this job unnecessarily hard, namely unresolved behavioral issues and mean staff members. Aside from the youngest member, do not trust the management. They will use any information you give them to make your work life harder.

We love that the location is free standing and appears very secure and well kept. The hallways are wide, clean and clutter free. The rooms all have a lot of windows and are well lit. There are age appropriate toys that do not look old or too worn. I consistently see money being put back into the property and the classrooms such as new ride on toys in the early toddler rooms and large touch screen computers in the preschool rooms. This location is definitely not convenient for us and, trust me, we have looked at several other daycare options that would be much closer to our home and work (more than once) but nothing ever compares to Primrose School of Leawood! We have been very happy here.

The relationships they have with the children--and the way they know and care about each child individually--says so much about the heart of this daycare.

When we first enrolled our daughter in February of last year I was more nervous than a freshman…read morestarting high school. I just "wasn't ready" and wasn't sure if someone else could take care of my child the same way I could, but Anna allowed me to rest assured that my daughter was well taken care of with all the updates featuring diaper changes, pictures playing outside or with toys inside, eating lunch/snack, and always providing detailed updates during pick up. Anna was the BEST teacher Qira has ever had and I'm so glad that she was our first experience entering a daycare and set the standard for how people who work at a daycare should be. If you aren't aware with how daycare works it goes by the age and once my daughter turned 2 1/2 she was moved to a different room as she should've. We were excited to see how much growth would happen since this room was for bigger kids and to our surprise the opposite happened. Little did we know that was only the beginning! A month or two later that teacher left due to being overworked and unable to enough days off since the center is low on staff. As an employee myself I understand things like this happen everywhere so we tried to be understanding as they looked for a replacement. This is where the nightmare began. For WEEKS my daughter did not receive a lunch or diaper change. The only reason I noticed is because when we arrived home she would run to the fridge crying for food and her pull up was so soiled it was disintegrating. I brought this issue to Tina - the director's attention on multiple occasions and each time I received a deep apology promising it would never happen again....it happened more times than we can count. Why were we paying $350 a week? Why were we sending a new pack of diapers with her every week? I am now completely confused as to why basic things a childcare provider should be doing are not being done; so I utilize the only feature that I can trust and the main reason we picked this location- the live cameras. There were soooo many things I saw that I don't have the space to write about unfortunately, but I am doing my due diligence to warn any parent who may be reading reviews on Yelp to help choose and those that actually care about your kids to please STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!! I became the "most hated mom" at this place because I was constantly checking the app making sure my daughter was being taken care of and no matter who the teacher was they consistently showed me the basic needs we asked for were too much to ask for, literally! Anytime I talked to a teacher or the director it was always, "oh I'm so sorry that happened, I will make sure it doesn't happen again". They kept saying they would do better, but all their actions said the opposite. Here I am, as a working parent trying to make it work because in today's economy you need multiple streams of income to stay afloat. I trusted this daycare to take care of my daughter and instead her progress went backwards, she was always constipated and probably wondered everyday why we left her there for hours. As a parent that wants the best for my children, I feel like I failed her by not withdrawing her from this place earlier. Ever since she left she has almost mastered potty training, can spell her name and the tantrums are minimal. I truly believe this place was making her uncomfortable and she was not treated fairly. Which is very unfortunate because most of the caretakers were moms themselves! I want to note that Lamia was light in this dark place, she always greeted me warmly and was so nice to my daughter and we never worked directly with her. Delaney, you never addressed me as the mother of the child you were "taking care of" only wiped her nose when I asked you to and that was asking too much because bothered you to do it. You never changed her diaper and always acted like anytime I asked how her day was it was such a task to remember. Not sure why you're working with children if you don't plan to respect the parent enough to let them know when something bad happens to them instead of acting like it's not a big deal. Marqueana I am most disappointed in you. I came there everyday for a week straight on my lunch break to make sure my daughter at least got a lunch and no milk because she can't have dairy (everyone seemed to forget this everyday for MONTHS contributing to her constipation). You let me now you understood because your daughter has sickle cell and how important it is for certain guidelines to be followed and continued to throw my daughter's belonging on the ground upon arrival, not changing her diaper, not even making sure she has a blanket to sleep with...then had the nerve to act like I was bothering you when I asked for an update. I'm heartbroken writing this and have been for quite sometime. Please disregard all the fake 5 star reviews that were written 8/9 years ago, those profiles look like bots and should be taken down so the stars can reflect the true value of this place.
