Zero stars. Not enough teachers at all times and not properly trained. Heavy use of screen time for kids. I regret taking my daughter here. After switching daycares, we can't use the word daycare anymore because our daughter is afraid that we'll take her back. Not a good environment which shows by the constant turnover. FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO TAKE YOUR CHILD FOR CARE.

To be clear, the one star I am giving KK, are solely for Ms. Tiffany in the 1 year old room and Ms. Lori in the infant room. Tiffany is positive and cheerful with the kids. Lori in the infant room is also very sweet - my daughter was never in her room, but Lori always went out of her way to make my daughter feel welcome and comfortable. The two year old room, on the other hand, is another story. Not only does this daycare offer “unlimited screen time” (words of the director), but the teachers in the 2 year old room display harsh tones to the children. Within 2 months in the 2 year old room, my daughter was constantly scolding her dolls and making them fight. She would also speak harshly to other kids her age and would have extreme meltdowns. I always asked her where she heard these harsh tones and phrases / “who said that?” And every time her answer was “Ms. Lindsay” or “Ms. Britany.” Fortunately things fell into place for us to enroll our daughter at our 1st pick of preschools, so we left as quickly as we could. Our daughter has been at her new preschool for 2 months and her outbursts have subsided drastically. She is so nurturing to her dolls and caring toward her classmates. She also looks forward to going to school & seeing her teachers rather than begging me not to take her and screaming at drop off (a daily occurrence at KK). In addition to her old teachers at Kiddi Kollege being harsh to the kids, they are also poor communicators. At each pickup, I would ask how my daughter’s day was. I was bound to receive one of the three responses: “good” or “she wasn’t being a good listener” or “she hit a friend today”. At her current school, her teachers will tell a cute story about her day, provide a detail about a friend she has been playing with or an activity from the day. I am glad our Kiddi Kollege days are behind us and am so thankful that we found a school that offers a positive, nurturing, and loving environment.****Editing to add since I left my honest review, Kiddi Kollege is now commenting on old positive reviews. Many of the old reviews reference specific caregivers. Kiddi Kollege is responding in a way that makes it sound like these caregivers still work at Kiddi Kollege, which is far from the truth. Ms. Caitlin, Ms. Moon, and Ms. Era all left Kiddi Kollege 1+ years ago. Reviews referencing the specific care from those caregivers does not reflect the quality of care remaining at KK. Rather than commenting on 4 year old outdated reviews, perhaps KK should be addressing high turn over - 3 directors in 1 year and 6 assistant teachers for one class in a 10 month time frame is pretty awful.

I've been bringing my youngest here for almost three years and my oldest during breaks. I love the environment, the staff is always friendly, the app is something I love (Receive photos and updates on their eating/bathroom breaks). My youngest loves getting ready for 'school' everyday to see his teachers and friends. 10/10 would recommend!

Infant room was great for my son but then I started noticing they hire anybody and then my son started getting accused by teachers and bullied him too, my son screamed going to school every day, something was off about his last teacher in the pre-school age. Something happened that I will just never know.

My son has only been going here for two days and he loves it! He loves his teachers and always has a big smile on his face when I pick him up. The director is very nice and the place is very well maintained and clean! You couldn’t find a better place!

My daughter has been attending Kiddie Kollege of Overland Park for the past two years. As soon as we met the staff and toured the facility we knew it was the place for her. Everyone is always extremely kind and the vibe is always positive. The staff does an excellent job communicating with us about important upcoming dates and matters pertaining to our child. The classrooms my daughter has been in have engaging activities happening and we bring home her work to prove it. We are always confident that she is being taken care of in a safe and caring environment.

My son recently started at Kiddi Kollege and I was nervous for this transition as he has never been in daycare (he's 15 months old). Miss Tiffany and Miss Moon did such a great job on making him (and myself) comfortable. They sent me lots of updates on the phone application which I love being able to see how he's doing throughout the day. So far, we are loving the education curriculum, the meals (they get breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack) and the attention to care. When I drop him off in the morning, Miss Moon makes him feel welcome and does a great job letting me know how he did the previous day. Miss Tiffany is really engaging with him and is clearly passionate about kids. I would definitely recommend Kiddi Kollege for your daycare needs.

Kiddi Kollege is absolutely amazing. My child has been attending for some time now. Miss Niki and Miss Caitlyn are such amazing teachers. As are all of the others. Very warm and welcoming and accepting. I would highly recommend sending your child here. Any issues are addressed immediately. Communication is top notch. If I could give more than 5 ⭐️‘S I surely would. I will miss them when it is time for my child to go kindergarten.

I absolutely LOVE Kiddi Kollege. Very close to my home and in a safe neighborhood. The staff is pleasant. I have not had a bad experience here. Caitlyn, the director, is awesome. Very down to earth and responsive. I love having access to brightwheel, an app that keeps me updated on my child’s day. The center is always clean. I have been inside several of the rooms and never have seen anything unsanitary.I highly recommend Kiddi Kollege.

The wife and I toured the infant room awhile back. It was an impromptu interview/tour. Both ways. Daycares\Learning Centers do not have to accept you or your child. We fell in love with this center. The Director Mrs. Era is very passionate about her job and the kids. She takes the time to learn your name and greet you every time you come to the center.My sons class? The best. Mrs. Lori and Miss Melany are there every morning to great us and to care for my son. They ask all the necessary questions for the day and answer mine every time. You can see the care when they are working with your child. They love their profession.The school uses a app that keeps you informed about your Childs day. BrightWheel. We love it. We get photos, videos, and messages thought-out the day and we love it. If you have a infant. This is the place. You will have a piece of mind knowing your child is cared for.Thank you Mrs, Era, Mrs Lori and Miss Melany!! Thank you!

I took my older son here from age 2 until kindergarten, and our now 3-year-old started at 6 weeks. We have experienced every class room and every teacher and we have NEVER questioned our decision to go here. Ms. Era has been supportive and caring towards our boys, and there is no doubt that she loves what she does. I have always recommended this location to anyone looking, and I will continue to do so. I can’t express how much we have loved our time with this family.

My 4 year old daughter Adalynn has excelled in learning, sharing, playing well with others and so much more!! I'm so pleased with the staff, teachers and especially the directors. Mrs. Era is amazing!! She always takes time out of her day to visit each classroom and get to know each and every student here. My daughter used to scream & cry when I would say it's time for school. But now she is so excited to go and learn something new everyday. I would definitely recommend this Kiddi Kollege for your children!! ???☺

I enrolled my three and four-year-old here after they had been going to a home-based day care. Mrs. Era, Miss Emma and the rest of the staff took GREAT care of them! My children were happy and constantly learning new curriculum. We attended a Graduation Ceremony, Mother's and Father's Day Celebrations, and the kids colored t-shirts in tie-dye for 4th of July. I cannot say enough about Mrs. Era and the success my kids have had because of the way she chooses to run her facility! God bless you all!
