Welcome to our school in Overland Park, Kansas! Since opening in January 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 on the corner of 119th Street and Quivira Road, primarily serving families in Overland Park and Johnson County. 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. Schedule a tour at our Overland Park daycare center to explore our state-of-the-art facilities and see our programs in action!
Awards and Accolades
I love working in an environment where I can make a difference in someone’s life, whether it helps now or is something that helps them later in life. I enjoy learning new skills and striving to achieve new accomplishments because, just four years ago, there were many things I couldn’t do. Now that I can, I never want to miss an opportunity to try something new. I love that my team is always ready to help wherever needed, knowing I would never ask them to do something I wouldn’t do myself. One fun fact about me is that I used to clown in college, and now I’m the one who wears all the random costumes for different events!

What do you like about early childhood?
I love watching the process children go through as they learn new skills. It is amazing to watch them not only accomplish that skill but also be able to role model it for their peers.
What makes your school unique?
Our school feels like one big family, where everyone is always willing to step in and assist wherever the need is greatest for the day. The teachers know all the children and at least on unique fact about each of them.
