Low rating is strictly due to the lack of hospitality, communication, compassion, and responsibility to run a business on the directors end.

They are a terrible place to take your kids. The staff is nice but the director lacks responsibility to be in charge.

My child had several marks/bruises on a day to day basis. I have walked into the classroom, unseen by the teacher, and the kids were all sitting down at the table nicely, just being chatty two year olds. The teacher yelled at them, “be quiet! I should hear no talking!” It was snack time... My child screamed every time I’d drop him off. I have walked into the classroom to pick my child up, as the teacher was pulling him by his arm, dragging him away from the group of kids on the floor playing as she said “nope, get away from them right now.”I am honestly disgusted by this daycare. I had been here a year, and have seen every single teacher leave or get fired, and a director change as well. The new director does not care about your needs, and does not hire good people. Please do not take your children here. They will not be cared for properly.

Kidding around is a TERRIBLE place to take your child. They do not screen the employees well, their has been multiple incident of child abuse or employees putting their hands on the kids. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE!!!! OWNER IS NOT PROFESSIONAL!!!!

This day care has some bad apples. These photos were taking of a woman’s son who used to attend.

They abuse kids here and simply don’t care to hire respectable employees that know how to handle children. The owner is lazy and rude

2019 child abuse case. If you care about your kids, look for a different daycare.

One of my worst fears has came true as a mother. My little boy has been attending kidding around in lees summit for almost 2 years now. We have never once had a problem or concern with this daycare and I never would have thought this would happen, but it has and I am not okay with it. If you have children here I'd highly recommend rethinking your decision. My son came home last Monday with a handprint on his butt and his dad and I have no idea where it came from. It wasn't there when I dropped him off last Monday and it was there during bath time that night. I asked what happened his exact words were "*teachers name* spanked my ass" immediately called his dad to explain the situation where him and I agreed to talk to the manager but she has yet to respond. Fast forward to Wednesday my son got picked up from daycare by his dad and there was an about 4 inch abrasion on the side of his face from where the teacher said she "may have scrubbed too hard". Apparently James had gotten into a sharpie and drew on his face. For one if my son has a mark on his face that you cannot get off easily LEAVE IT FOR ME. Two where were you when he was into sharpies to begin with. The next day I pick up James from daycare and he's not in his normal classroom. I get him into my car and turn around and his teacher is running outside to ask to speak with me. She just tells me how awful my son is being, that's his behavior is through the roof(super unlike him), then she proceeds to tell me how yesterday she was so frustrated with all the kids that she wanted to cry(I realize this is normal), but having the other circumstances come about it was a raise of concern. So here we are a week later. We have both been calling, emailing, and going up to the daycare to speak to the owner who is outright ignoring us. She will not call, text, email, or show up to work. My son no longer goes to this school, and other parents should be aware. A former employee of the daycare is a current teacher at my sons new school who has informed me personally about all the bad things that daycare in particular has done and continues to do to children she worked there for 6 years and apparently this past year it has gotten so out of hand she decided to leave. Beware, listen to your children, and trust your gut. I feel sick to my stomach knowing someone was harming my son without me being able to help him at all.

Kidding Around has been an amazing place for my 2 yo daughter and my 1 yo son. First and foremost, I feel like my children are in a safe and loving environment. Secondly, the communication is EXCELLENT! Those are my top 2 qualities I look for in a daycare. Past that, they are getting enrichment through free play, structured circle time and station times, specials, sensory play, and outside play.I would recommend Kidding Around to anybody that has a new addition to the family, looking for a daycare, or even a family who is looking to change daycare's. We were in the later, and I can't express how much we have loved this transition for our kids.

Very unorganized and unprofessional. How can you properly care for children when you can't even figure out your billing system? This was an issue over a year ago and it is still clearly an issue even with new management. Anywho, with that being said there were no issues with the teachers when my children attended here. They were all kind and the rooms were clean. I personally didn't care for the owners (the wife) because she was rude. So that being said, upper management clearly needs to get it together. I would not recommend having your children come here when there are so many other less stressful options especially in this area.

Owners are nice and my son was very comfortable with every teacher he had. He attended this daycare from May 2013 until he began kindergarten in 2017. I would highly recommend them.

Horrible director, they don’t even abide by the state ratio.
