Kiddi Kollege 9921 West 86th Street, Overland Park, KS 66212

"My daughter loves KK and her teachers so much that she’ll accidentally call me ms keri (her teachers name) instead of mom on the weekends lol"

"This is not a daycare I would recommend to anyone. General hygiene is not a priority. My kid had food and dried snot crusted on her face every single day. She would smell like they didn't even wipe her when she went to the bathroom. Another kid had been bitting my kid for over a year without a single bit of help for the child causing the harm or mine. The director looked me in the eyes and said her advice to the other mom was to go home and bite her kid. The director also avoids filling out incident reports, I believe in an effort to make herself look better to the administration. This is not a daycare that hires people with knowledge of child care and development. The turnover with staff is insane, including directors. I believe the owners are fully aware of the issues and choose to do nothing. The best decision we ever made was to remove our child and send her to a better daycare. One star because I am not able to leave a review with zero."

"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."

"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."
