Our brand-new school in North Olathe, Kansas is now open for enrollment! Since opening in July 2024, our dedicated teachers and early childhood professionals have been committed to providing high-quality daycare and preschool programs for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. We are conveniently located off Lone Elm Road and College Boulevard, primarily serving families in northern Olathe and surrounding areas. Each of our childcare programs is designed to nurture and prepare children for kindergarten, by using a comprehensive curriculum that incorporates STEAM, reading, social-emotional learning, motor development, and more. We are actively pursuing NAEYC accreditation, which requires a minimum of one year in operation. In the meantime, our school is committed to ensuring that our infant, toddler, preschool, and pre-k programs align with the highest standards of quality and care.

Awards and Accolades
From a young age, I knew I wanted to work with children. I began my career as an infant teacher and knew I was in the correct field. Since then, I have worked as an infant teacher, a pre-k teacher, and as an assistant director. My goal is to continue growing with the company and eventually be a center director!
