Kidding Around 826 Southwest Blue Parkway, Lee's Summit, MO 64063

"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 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."
