The environment the kids are in is a warm, caring one where the teachers know the children (and the parents and grandparents) well and build the children's confidence.

The education (very important to us) is outstanding..I am so amazed how well they teach the kids..they do a great job of preparing the students for the transition to elementary school..I feel like my 5 year old is ready for 2nd grade! The director is a beautiful person, inside and out..Lakewood Montessori is ran incredibly well; this is not true for every Montessori school.

I love that even the administration in the office knows my son and his quirks. They are great about consistency with naps and learning times.

I would highly recommend them

I shopped around and interviewed 4 or 5 places in Lee's Summit before I found this gem…read more Wonderful staff, very responsible and caring. Small class sizes. After we checked out various places around town, my wife and I sat down to chat about it. We both picked this place as giving us the best "vibe" of any of the schools we looked at. Pricing is reasonable. There is a summer session as well if you are into that. My only minor beef, very minor, is that they follow the Lee's Summit schools if weather is "bad". They pretty much call off school at the drop of a hat in LS in my opinion. Additionally, the LS schools seem to have some kind of holiday or whatnot constantly. However, I'd assume most of the preschools are similar these days, so I can't really penalize Traditions for what is probably standard practice. Some of the larger daycares that I jokingly call "puppy mills" with zillions of kids are open more often and close less readily I think. Again, though, it is what it is, and I'd rather send my daughter to a higher quality place versus one where the schedule was slightly more convenient given the choice. We've been sending our daughter here for two years now and I can't think of any reason to consider anywhere else in the LS area. From what I can gather, other parents are equally happy with them. Over winter break, our kiddo was missing this place so much, she was carrying a backpack around asking us to play school with her. That's a good sign that your child is being treated well at school, when they can't wait to go back.

This facility and their entire staff welcome us with open arms. Wish I could give them 6 stars!

The company came back after weeks and threatened to keep our grandson out of the facility if the charges weren't paid. She met her obligation, the corporation made the mistake.

The rest of the experience has been good.

My son attended THIS LOCATION for 1.5 months roughly. He was bitten 2X - that they reported AND I…read morefound 1 more bite on his forearm (red and swollen). I kept asking what where they doing to fix this issue and WHERE where they on their policy (is this child that is bitting going to be suspended or has he/she been already) and it was like SQUEEZING BLOOD FROM A TURNIP! They wouldn't tell me much just the general proceedures that schools use to aviod these situations and not what was being done with this particular case - which I have the right to know if my child is going thru physical pain. I finally ended up calling the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline and they did an investigation...the director accused me of calling the police and that that is what the case worker had told her. The day after the investigation (visit from the case worker), this school waited til the last minute to kick my son out of school without warning and without reason but the fact that I called so they could be investigated. They knew it was me because I told them in our meeting and I had sent them an email explaining my decision to do so a day or two before the investigation took place. This school is beautiful with lots to do and see for the children but the directors AND the biting policy are the worst I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RECONSIDER FROM TAKING YOUR CHILD HERE! If it seems too good to be true, it really is!

It was such a great experience that the next year we moved her into five days. The next year pre-K, kindergarten and then added child number two and eventually child number three. We have got to experience many different styles of teaching, grades, and also how it's different between girls and boys but one clear message is the same: that you are loved and that God loves you. The Education is excellent. It's also really fun to see organized sports, arts and extra curricular activities beginning within the school at the early ages too!
