We LOVE Creekside Montessori! The teachers (Dawn, Grace, and Bonnie) are wonderful and so caring. We feel so lucky to have found this school. From her first day, our daughter has loved coming here. It’s such a friendly, welcoming environment. The curriculum is thoughtful and the kids get to learn about so many fun things in addition to practical skills. I love watching my daughter’s confidence grow from her time here. This is just a really special place!
Dawn and the Creekside staff have been so wonderful for my son. He loves going to school and is always bringing home the skills he works on during the day. The school’s physical space is beautiful and student-centered, and I can tell the staff really care about the kids. We’ve had a wonderful experience!
My wife and I started taking our son to Creekside Montessori on September 1st of this year and could not be more happy with our experience thus far. After taking over the building, the owners undertook extensive renovations and the facility is in top notch condition, clean and safe! The location is perfect for us as well, living in Overland Park but also needing access to 435. Also, the app that Ms. Dawn uses is amazing. Every Sunday evening we get a rundown of how the previous week went, the lesson plan for the coming week and the meal plan for the coming week as well. Getting pictures of our son on the app throughout the day is also great piece of mind! We could not recommend Creekside Montessori more highly!
I am a preschool teacher with 25 + years of international experience. Found this awesome place for my 3 yo grandson. I strongly recommend this school. This is the only place in the area that corresponds to my standards and expectations. Neither MO or KS have anything similar to offer.
My son goes to Creekside and I couldn’t dream of a better place to send him. He spends his weekends begging to go to school. I can always tell each lesson is taught intentionally and through hands-on methods, as he comes home every day and teaches it all back to me and his younger sister. His language, imagination, and sense of wonder have blown me away in just the last few months. I could never even consider sending my children anywhere else. The teachers care so much and go above and beyond for their students, and it truly shows.
My 4-year-old son attends this school and loves it, I could not ask for a better preschool experience. He is constantly learning new things that improve his life and is always excited to show his little sister (who will be joining the school once she turns 3). The teachers are all very caring and well-trained and provide a welcoming environment where all kids learn and have fun. The director provides frequent photos/videos while the kids are in school and a weekly newsletter discussing everything that has been done the prior week and what will be coming in the next week, along with a lunch/snack menu. I would recommend this school over any other preschool and I know my children will be well-prepared for their future schooling and life in general.
Children direct their own activities, building knowledge, confidence, and social skills along the way. Teachers empower children to use all the materials available to them, which range from practical life activities to geography to mathematics.
“Any child who is self-sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement the image of human dignity, which is derived from a sense of independence.”
