We contacted Sylvan of Lee's Summit about tutoring thinking that it probably wouldn't work out because of our distance from a center. We live approximately 3 hours from Lee's Summit which is the closest center to where we live. Obviously, in person tutoring was not a feasible option for us. After discussing our options with the director, we decided to give the online program a try. We purchased tutoring hours for our daughter and she is able to log on with a code through Zoom. We have never had any major issues connecting with the center. The teachers work very hard to make her feel as though she is right there at the table with them. When it is time to do progress testing, we do have to travel to the center. How often this occurs depends on how many hours they tutor per week. Progress testing occurs after a certain number of tutoring hours. Our daughter enjoys going to the center for progress testing. It is like a treat for her to actually be in the building. We have been with Sylvan almost 8 months and will be continuing for at least another 5-6 months. Our daughter's confidence in herself in school has improved since beginning Sylvan. She enjoys seeing herself master skills during the lessons. I highly recommend Sylvan of Lee's Summit. The director and teachers are wonderful to work with and always willing to help.

This is not a place that you should trust to take care of your children. I have had a experiences here and the staffing is terrible. They make your think they do a good job, but in reality the could care less about your child's well-being. I have worked in child care for a while now and this place is a joke in the business. I would never trust this place to take care of my child and you shouldn't either. I hope the new parents that have to send there kids to school would choose anywhere but here. This place is ridiculous, the teachers here do not do what they are supposed to and definitely can not take care of children correctly. These children are the face of the new generation and this is last place for them to get the care they need. I hope new parents see this and take into account all of the problems this place has. The owner is barely there and when she is the last thing she does is take care of the children.

The venue is perfect for concerts, plays etc. and every seat is a good seat. I first saw Mr. Botti in concert years ago and I thought I would literally lose it. He tore that trumpet up. I have never heard a trumpet sound THAT good, ever! HE is the very reason I fell in love with it. My instrument of love was always the saxophone, but honey all that changed after hearing this cat. He also happens to have the coldest band ever and is such a brilliant yet caring person. He provides opportunities for other phenomenal musicians to play with him from all over the world...not everyone does that...talk about unselfish, it's very admirable. If you happen to love jazz and haven't seen this gentleman in concert check out Mr. Botti's website where you will find his bio and tour information. Certainly a Class Act!

I attended KCAI between 1965 and 1966 and was planning to major in Industrial Design. Having taken…read more4 year of art classes in high school in Shreveport Louisiana I had been lucky enough to have gotten a good foundation in art early with dedicated teachers. While in Louisiana I had some newspaper articles written about my art while there. When I first arrived at the Art Institute in 1965, I move into the then new dormitory with a excellent cafeteria and dinning area that impressed me. However, dorm life was a disappointment since I had to share the room with a roommate that had no intentions of finishing the semester and I had one these guys for my first two semesters. Both boys (they never grew up) were always having friends over (who also were quitting) so they were drinking and partying in the room at all hours of the night. I was forced to go downstairs and study in the dinning area to get my work done. I was disappointed in the Art Institute, first in my Foundation Training in that from what art work I saw that my instructors had done reminded me of my first year in high school art. However, I had never liked English or History in high School but I love attending both of these classes taught by Roy Culver (English) and John Burke (History) . My second year I started my major Industrial Design thinking about being a car designer or at least product designer. Again, I was disappointed in the teaching and had a strong feeling that my teacher who was also the Dean John Lotus really had no experience teaching Industrial Design. I also noticed that there were many manufacturing companies in Kansas City at the time that were probably using Industrial Designers but we were never exposed to these companies and those companies more than likely never knew there was a Industrial Design department at the Art Institute. The final straw and the reason I dropped out of the Art Institute was a story told to our Industrial Design class mid term of my second semester. I was already wondering what I was doing at the Art Institute when one morning Dean Lotus came into the classroom with a big smile on his face and told us that he had received a phone call from one of his best students that had graduated the year before and that the student had gotten a great job. After a long story about how great the student had been while a student at the Art Institute our Dean told us that this student had gotten a job in Minnesota with a big manufacture called Church they manufactured toilet seats. I said nothing and finished the class then walked to the Resistor Office and resigned. I was drafted into the Army 90 days later and later sent to Vietnam. I did get the job as an Technical Illustrator and stationed in Saigon where I not only helped put out a magazine there (GRUNT Magazine) that turned out to be quit popular and even today issues are for sale on the internet and even some colleges have it in their archives. I was assigned to a photo unit and we sometimes made ID photos for American construction contractors and after talking to them I decided to change employment directions. When I left Vietnam I when back to LSU in Louisiana and got a degree in Engineering and 4 months after graduation I got a job with a oil company working in New Guinea, I never stopped from that point working in Thailand, Sumatra, Vietnam, Bahrain, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Nigeria. Frist I will say that my early art education taught me to think outside the box that had been an asset in my professional life enabling to solve engineering problems that were though impossible before. I went on to being a Project Manager on my last $6billion project in Nigeria before retiring in Thailand where I am writing this review at 76.
