Wildflower Montessori has been so much more than a school for our family, it has truly been a home…read moreaway from home. They helped raise not one, but two of our children, and I cannot say enough good things about the care, love, and dedication of this place. Our son, Silas, attended Wildflower for two years before our youngest ever started. When our daughter, Sloane, joined later, it felt like coming home all over again. When Silas needed additional support that his elementary school couldn't provide, Wildflower welcomed him back with open arms without hesitation. That level of compassion and commitment is rare. We have absolutely loved every teacher we've had throughout the years. These are the only people I would ever trust with my children, to the point that we have even used Wildflower teachers as babysitters when needed. That alone speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in this team. Almost a year later, our youngest still asks if we can stop by just so she can give her teachers a hug, and I think that says everything about the kind of place Wildflower is. If you're looking for more than just a daycare, if you want a family to help raise your child while they're away from home. I highly recommend Wildflower Montessori. Our children are stronger, more confident, and more successful because of the foundation they received here, and we will forever be grateful.

Hi parents! We just…read moremoved to Parkville and prior to purchasing our home, we were on the hunt for a new provider for our 4 year old. Our kiddo is the youngest of two, so we have been through many daycares and providers in our time. To put a fine point on it, Wildflower is far and away the best provider we have found in our roughly 9 years of using multiple providers (and touring many more!) we were looking for something that takes the best of Montessori, but isn't so stuck in the Montessori world that kids aren't being taught to excel later in a more traditional education environment. Our son had attended a strict Montessori school prior and he tells us almost every day how much he *loves* school. They provide so many fun experiences to mix things up, aerial yoga, the KC zoo, the KC chiefs, and field trips to the bank and grocery stores--and all of that in just the last couple of months. Our son *adores* his teacher, and the environment does feel very much like a family. One that we're happy to be a part of. (I will note that I was not prompted to do a review, nor was I compensated in any way).

The place has gone down hill in the last year, including high turnover of teachers.

They disciplined a teacher for letting us know our daughter had been injured and that the director failed to call and let us know about it.

I walked in and immediately felt at peace. Garret, the director, is SO welcoming and so nice. Along with all her teachers who are so sweet! I definitely cried the first day and they were all very understanding and sent me lots of updates throughout the day. A trust was quickly built and I know my little one is in great hands!

I've caught them not giving her the blanket we provide for nap time (which is state required I believe). My child didn't have a consistent adult in her classroom all year. I've been blown off by Garret, the director of the Parkville location. His boss, Jennipher has never responded to my emails, and when I requested to speak with the owner, again, I have never been contacted. It seems everyone has swept the problems under the rug. I would NEVER recommend your child go somewhere where they are not valued. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Not only do they develop them academically, they also prepare them socially for building friendships and playing well with others. We were always kept up-to-date on the classroom activities and any issues our children may have encountered during their day. As a result of such a wonderful experience, all three of our kids adjusted extremely well during the transition to kindergarten. They were above their peers academically, and made friends quickly. I attribute this to the great foundation that was built at Sweet Beginnings Early Learning Center.

I came to this facility for a tour and was very disappointed. I was looking for care for my 9 month…read moreold daughter and I would never ever send her here. When I walked in the infant classroom a baby (around 4 months) was sleeping on a PLAY MAT in the ground, a kid was screaming in his crib, and another newborn was left in a crib just laying there. I was shocked. It also appears not clean at all, and the caregivers seemed unsanitary and I even saw some wearing PJs?! This is a job these are our children and pride and joy. For the ridiculous price of $405 a week you get below the bare minimum. I left horrified and almost in tears at the thought of putting my child in their care.

The teachers are rough around the edges and just barely doing their job. For $1200+ a month per child? They have lost their mind! I grew up going to kindercare and had high hopes for my kids potentially going here. I am extremely disgusted with what I witnessed and the state that the daycare is in. Outdated, smelly, unsafe & lacks structure. Do not bring your precious babies here!
