Let me start by saying given the scandal at St. Patrick's North, I was completely against putting…read moremy child in a religious preschool. Then I met the staff at Metro Church Preschool and that went out the window. Metro is a smaller congregation on the corner of Brighton and 48th St. The Preschool and Daycare are a primarily family operation. My 5 year old daughter is not just ready for Kindergarten, she is above the curve and reading and managing at a second grade level and I attribute it to Miss Robin, the preschool teacher. Everytime I picked my daughter up these past few months I heard "We're going to miss her." Now a lot of places say this and they are being trite. Not the staff at Metro. They are deeply involved and take very great care and responsibility with each child in that building and they genuinely love every child. Now I have not used or gotten feedback on the infant care program, but if it is anything like the preschool, it has to be outstanding. If you work at Harrah's, North KC Hospital, Cerner, or anything in that area, Metro is just a 10 minute drive up the road and well worth it for your child's development. It is by far the best child development pregram I have encountered and I thank them whole heartedly for giving my little girl a running start on school.

The staff are super friendly and they update us with all the improvements our children are achieving. Our eldest is allergic to tons of food since he was diagnosed with G6PDD and he's also lactose intolerant. Beyond happy that Metro Church Academy was able to accommodate his special diet. They also teach well, seeing the improvement of our eldest child's knowledge with shapes, numbers, animals, letters and etc. They also send us a log sheet for my youngest that contains information like what and how much he ate, time and duration of his naps, potty changes, etc., everyday. Every morning, our kids wakes up excited to go to daycare and gets sad when we pick them up in the afternoon. The other kids are also friendly, they greet us and our kids as soon as we get there with 'good mornings' and they say "goodbye friend/s" to each other by the time we leave. My husband's employer is helping out with our childcare payments and Chris, who manages the academy was so helpful in communicating with the people in charge (in my husband's employers' side). They also gave us 15% discount since we have two children enrolled at the same time... Would recommend this daycare to other mommies/daddies. Additional info, we migrated here in the US last Dec. 2015 and our kids speaks a little english. They adjusted really well in daycare and our 3 year old learned to talk much faster than before..

Our experience at Agape Montessori School has been nothing short of amazing. I would give 10 stars…read moreif I could. I did not have any experience with the Montessori approach prior to this daycare. We honestly started it because it was close to our house and our neighbors recommended it. But as soon as we started we loved it. The center is cleaned thoroughly from floor to toys daily (I witness it). The head teachers and assistants are very consistent in each classroom and are so passionate about each child they are working with. They have been trained with the Montessori mindset and live by it. They encourage independent play and group time, they work on manners, school work, how to be friends. They activate the brain through play and activities that are fun for the kids but they are developing so many skills. The director, office manager, and teachers are available, kind, and easy to communicate with and provide good communication. I read some (old) comments about afternoon TV time once the teachers leave. On days when it's not very nice out, the kids do watch some TV on the carpet at the end of the day but most of the time it's interactive so they are up dancing or singing with what's on. When the weather is nice they are outside playing! And yes there is a cement "alley" but it is not unsafe as that's part of life- cement driveways, cement sidewalks, cement porches. Highly recommend for quality of center, quality of staff, cleanliness, level of attentiveness to the children, and the pricing (relative to the area).

Not your average Lutheran church experience (for those who are wondering, this is a Lutheran Church…read moreMissouri Synod, or LCMS, church). Blend of contemporary and traditional worship options, including a 5:00pm service on Saturday. Nearly paperless as well, with two large screens displaying lyrics to songs/hymns & responsive text. Only reason I am rating a 4-star instead of a 5-star experience is that I am more of a traditionalist, and miss the days of flipping through the hymnal to find the next song that is sung during a service. Overall, I highly recommend visiting if you are Lutheran or wish to learn more about the Lutheran experience.
