Crème de la Crème School of Leawood

Just experience this place! Conducive to learning. So much glorious space! The teachers and employees are happy! Something is going right. So happy my grandson was able to snag a spot!

We have been so happy with our experience at Creme. Our son is almost 4 years old, and has been going here since he was an infant. We have had wonderfully caring teachers over the years, and the director Ms. Diane does a wonderful job organizing fun activities for the students as well as keeping parents informed with newsletters.

We have been so happy with Creme de la Creme! We have two children there, and our older one was enrolled in a few other childcare centers before Creme, but we are here to stay!The teachers and staff are so great with our kids, and it's evident that they truly care about them and have built real connections with them. And I love the fact that Creme encourages the entire staff to get to know each child at the center (not just the ones in the classrooms where they work most often). It makes the kids feel very comfortable at the school since they know everyone there, and it seems to make transitions from room to room easier as they get older.Something else I have noticed in comparison with other childcare centers we have attended is that the staff is very proactive about communicating with parents. I feel like they really try to engage with your family beyond just a hello at drop off and pick up. This has made a big difference to me personally. They are around my children for 8 hours out of the day several days a week, and I really appreciate feeling like I know what has happened while I'm away. When my youngest was an infant, it was really helpful for me to compare notes with the teachers on feedings, sleep habits, etc., to be sure that we were on the same page. I've never felt that they were too busy to discuss things with me at the beginning or end of the day.I have also been so impressed with how much our children learn at Creme. My 4-year old came home the other day very excited to tell me all about how gravity works, and he sings songs in Spanish on a regular basis. Our one year old is learning very good table manners and sign language.Also, the facility itself is very impressive. They have an on-site water park the kids get to use during the summer that our kids absolutely love. They also have a big gym to use when the weather is not good for playing outside. They even have a little koi pond with fish in it, and our youngest loves to say "Hi" to the fish on her way to her classroom. Finally, I feel confident in our children's safety at Creme. The school has a fingerprint system for entry, and an on-site resource officer at the end of the day.This is long-winded, but I really can't say enough good things about Creme. We love it there!

My foster son attended Creme from 5 months to 15 months of age (the time we had him that I was back at work). The directors, staff, and facility are top notch. Our child was socialized and learning from day one. He had some particular physical therapy needs that we were able to share with his teachers, who in turn helped with his required exercises multiple times a day. They truly went above and beyond and were incredibly understanding and supportive of our unique needs as foster parents. The hours were perfect for drop off and pick up along my commute downtown or to and from medical, legal, and other foster appointments. Creme truly enhanced our time with our foster son and I am positive their commitment improved his development during such a critical time in his life. We would enroll again at Creme in a heartbeat.

When we signed our daughter up for preschool at Creme, I was reluctant due to the high tuition. I have not regretted my decision since the first day she came home going on about the water park, the computer room and so on. Great preschool and great academics. I recommend this preschool to all of my coworkers.

Beautiful building. That's where the good parts end. Horrible management. The director, Kim, doesn't care about your children. The management simply cares if your check clears. For the most expensive place in the area, it's not worth it. Very greedy people...At your children's expense.
