“DeeCyDa is a great place to take your kid so they get an early start to education and life skills. As well as a good place for your kid to make new friends, And have good teachers.”

“My son has been going to childtime for almost 3 years and we have been so happy with them. Every single day we are greeted with warmth and a smile - Ms Maya is a joyful soul that really helped my son on those days where he just wanted to be with mama. Ms Inez and Ms Ceci treat you like family and communicate honestly and openly to make sure your kiddo is happy and thriving. Ms Karissa in the infant room loves each of those babies like her own. Ms Mayra is a boss but gentle in the toddler 1 room and the kids love her - best story teller! There was a visible difference in my son after working with Ms. Brianna in toddler 2/ early preschool - she is so gentle and yet so effective with these kids. There are so many others that I could mention here, but the bottom line is that these folks love kids. They will love your kids, keep them safe, and they will work with you to make sure your child thrives!”

“The best preschool ever! I love Ms. Donna! Not only she’s knowledgeable with kids and early childhood education, she’s also full of love and patient with kids. She sees the individual needs while having to develop the curriculum for the whole class. Not to mention she’s giving lessons to parents for the monthly meeting to equip parents for better communication with kids. Don’t know how she did that. Simply amazing!I would recommend this school for anyone who is able to volunteer a good amount of time. It’s a co-op school, so the parents must be able to volunteer and have a ‘job’ at school.”

“We registered for IUCC ECC this year and it has been an amazing experience. Our daughter loves going to Preschool everyday, her teachers are warm and loving. She comes home talking about the different project focused units, she is learning so much! The Director and all of the staff are wonderful. We have enjoyed all of the events, communication, and opportunities to be involved at the school. If you’re looking for a small learning focused school that values kids, look no further!”

“We could not recommend this school enough! Our kids really love their teachers and the management is great! We are also really happy with the school's menu! We get daily reports and pictures and we can tell that our kids really like this place.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Michelson KinderCare!. Our son who started on September 2022 and finished in May 30/2025, was truly happy there every single day. The teachers are warm, professional, and always accessible. Each day was full of new, engaging activities, and we loved getting daily updates and photos through the app, it really helped us feel connected. The center is very organized and caring. We only left because he’s now moving on to kindergarten, but we’ll always be grateful for the love and attention he received here.

From Miss Ali, his very first teacher, to Miss Mary, Miss Bertha, and his director Miss Pinky, and all the rest of them ❤️, they were all truly special. He loves all of his teachers! We highly recommend it ??.”

“Both of our children go to Leport Mandarin school. The teachers are really caring. They make sure the children do their work well using the Montessori method. Every type of work is an opportunity for the children to learn. It is not the chaotic, noisy day care environment that I have observed from other school. I’m happy with the quality of care this school provides.”

“Pretty good school in general. I just wish the so called “gangsters” at our school didn’t act like they grew up in the ghetto, they literally live in gated communities.”

“I love working here especially with the new management! Ms. Alex is a great director who takes pride in what she does and has really helped our center with improvements and lots of other changes that previous directors should have done. Ms. Johanna is nice and friendly! She really has a heart for the kids. Thankful for our new leaders and all the children that I get to support in their growth and educational endeavors. I’m honored and grateful for the wonderful families I get to serve in my community! Thank you Westpark KC ??”

“My daughter has been a student since she was a couple months. This facility has become such an amazing place for kids to get the early start they need to learn and prepare for kindergarten. I’m beyond grateful for every single teacher and or/staff that has been part of my daughters journey and development. You care and we notice it! We trust you! Have an amazing teacher appreciation week! Thank you so much!”

“We’ve had the most wonderful experience with Tutor Time over the past few years. They cared for our son from when he was just 12 months old until he turned 4, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better place for him to grow, learn, and thrive.

The staff is incredibly loving, patient, and attentive. From his very first day, they made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and supported. We’ve watched him develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually thanks to the structured learning, fun activities, and nurturing environment they provide daily.

Communication with parents is excellent, and we always felt informed about his routines, meals, milestones, and progress by their Sprout About App. They go above and beyond to celebrate each child’s unique personality and make every child feel seen and valued.

We’re so grateful to the entire team for being such an important part of our son’s early years. Saying goodbye was definitely emotional, but we’ll always hold Tutor Time close to our hearts. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a safe and enriching space for their little one!”

“Kiddie Academy has proven to be an excellent choice for my kids over the past six months. The environment is both fun and nurturing, providing me with complete peace of mind. The teachers genuinely care for my boys, and even those in other classes know them by name. The daily updates through the app, along with the use of cameras, further assure me that they are well-cared for. My oldest looks forward and lights up at drop-offs saying his teachers names, and my youngest is all smiles and cuddles with his teachers.To name drop since it’s well deserved! Sara, Sade, and Natalie at the front desk, Jasmine and Nadia in the threes classroom, Daniela and Jackie H in the twos classroom, Jackie T in the toddlers classroom (Can’t wait till Aedan is with you again!) and Yannete, Erica, Maird, Emily, and Lesly in the infants room have been absolutely amazing and understanding throughout our six months at Kiddie Academy. Their warmth and efficiency add an extra layer of reassurance that my babies are well taken care of. It's evident that the caring environment extends beyond the classrooms, making the overall experience truly exceptional. Looking forward to many more months and years!”

“Amazing after-school and camps, my kids loved it. The staff is kind, supportive, experienced and proffesional. Thankful that my kids got to have that experience with this wonderful program.”
