This school has been wonderful with my child. I feel she’s in good care and we are glad we picked this school. The teachers are kind and attentive and the director has been accommodating and helpful. I would recommend this place.

I walked out of this place in tears after 3 partial days of employment. From my experience if you are paying out-of-pocket then your kid does relatively okay here. Thats great. Not perfect. But decent. Definitely better than the government-funded kids. But even then thats not a guarantee. Because if theyre crying or they dont feel good then I hope you get a teacher that cares about them. Because the owner certainly doesnt. The only thing the only cares about is money. She doesnt care about her employees or the kids that attend the school, of course unless they bring her money. Ive been around kids my entire life and have worked in multiple care facilities; this is hands-down the absolute worst place Ive been employed. Theres a reason I walked out in tears after 3 days. I also had to go back a couple weeks later and ask for my check. This place is a hot mess.

Montessori Day School is an amazing place with amazing teachers and staff who really do care and invest in your child. We had just moved here from out of state and my child had never been in daycare and they made the transition easy on both my daughter and I. They have one of the hardest jobs in the world in my opinion and I would not hesitate to recommend this school to anyone. We love it here!!P.s. my daughter always talks about how great the food is, everything from scratch. Makes me smile and feel good that if she cant be with my family or I, then this is the next best place on earth!

When it was time for my twin boys to start daycare, like most first time parents I was excited and hesitant. You need a place that your child/children can thrive and get the same loving attention you give them at home. When we spoke with Terri (Director) we immediately felt her passion for the kids and their development. My twins both have development delays and we needed an environment that would cater to their needs. The teachers are all engaged, informative and love the boys.They (my boys) have made leaps and bounds in their development since starting in March and I know going to school here they will continue to flourish. The staff also works in coordinating with my sons occupational and physical therapist. We love Montessori Day School of Blue Springs.

This school deserves negative stars. Terri, the supposed director, is grossly unprofessional and has no business running a daycare let alone a school. She doesnt take any responsibility for her actions and/or lack of action and wants to blame the rest of the world for her problems. This trickles down to everything else. On top of that, my daughter complained daily of being pushed down stairs, hit, kicked, etc. by one of the teachers daughters. I brought this up, specifically asking them to let me know if my daughter was contributing to the issue. There was no feedback and then she came home with a giant goose egg and bruise on her forehead telling me the teacher said she was fine after she supposedly fell into a shelf. No one from the school told me anything about it! My child is 3 and was at this school less than a month and its been one of the worst experiences shes ever had, poor kid! This just brushes the tip of the iceberg of issues we had with this school. I highly recommend you do not leave your children at this school, ever. Ever. Save them and yourselves the gargantuan heartache and hassle!

We’ve been looking around and we found this school. My two girls just started going there a few weeks ago and we already can see there progress. Staff and director are very professional and nice!

I feel like I have to stick up for this school. I have had nothing but a great experience with not only the teachers, but the director as well. I find everyone friendly and genuinely caring. I started one child there in the infant room and he has since moved up to the primary class. He loves his friends and his teachers. I recently started my infant here as well and look forward to watching her grow there as her brother did. I work with children from birth through preschool every day at my job and I can honestly say that my 3 year old has a better knowledge base and sense of self than a surprising number of children his age. Thank you Terri, Carla, Kelly, Stacy, and all of the other teachers that make my children have happy days!

I heard so many bad things about this school but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since it is a “Montessori” school, but I should’ve listened. I’ve been wanting to give them a review but I thought I should just leave it but I can’t just not say anything about this place. An incident happened to my son there to where he had to get stitches & they just acted like they didn’t care & that type of thing just happens all the time. My son said he was pushed by a kid but they didn’t want to acknowledge it & didn’t want to let the other parent know at all & lied on the report. The Director, Terri, is never there! No one is ever at the front desk to help if you needed help. Takes forever for some one to answer the phone. But I do have to say, my son loved his teacher, Ms Kelly. He talks about her all the time. Other than that, I’m glad I pulled my son out of there & will be going to Spectrum Station where they have cameras in every room & a receptionist at the front office all the time & there’s a Director & like 3 other assistant that run the place so you know there’s always gonna be somebody there!

Dont send your kids here. They are hacks and they pay no attention to your kids. This isnt a true Montessori experience and the owner is just looking to make money. Period. They made promises they had no intention of keeping and operate this like an expensive babysitting service. Might as well stick your kids in a room in front of the TV for 8 hours a day. Super low class and regrettable experience altogether. My daughter has since switched to Creative World across town and its like NIGHT AND DAY. Those teachers really care and the administration goes above and beyond to make sure your child receives the attention they deserve. Seriously.. dont send your kids here this place is a joke.

My boys love it here and have blossomed in the short amount of time they have been going. I’d recommend this place to anyone that worries about the safety and education of their child. ♥️

I am a single working mom and just moved into the Blue Springs area and was considering putting my 10 month old daughter in their care. I wasn’t sure on switching daycares though because I really liked the one she was at in Olathe, but couldn’t afford it anymore plus the extra driving. I had gone in to sign papers and do a tour thinking we were going to start there that month, however, I found out I was still able to receive assistance at the other daycare, so kept her there for another month. Which any single working mother would probably do, considering this would help with food, diapers, formula etc. I was told by this Montessori that I needed to finish all the paperwork and bring in $100 to hold her spot, however, I never did because I couldn’t afford $100 between my paychecks so just figured logically they would not hold our spot. I then got another call from them at the end of the month saying they still had an open spot for her. I was not sure if we still had assistance and she said they would be able to take it, however, I found out this was not true. I thought I had lost benefits at this point and I took my daughter there for one day and explained to them my situation. The director charged my bank account $740 for half a month plus 3 days? and the $100 fee. I found out that day that I still had assistance but could only use it at the other daycare and I decided that I would keep her at the other facility. Not to mention that she loves it there and that’s where I wanted to keep her at but could not due to funds. The director of this Montessori refused to refund any of the money and said I signed a contract that states I needed to give a 30 days notice. I was completely honest with her in that I was not sure my daughter would stay there and had not even finished all the other paperwork. I asked her if she would be willing to work with me and at least refund half the amount considering we had only gone 1 day and she refused and was not willing to work with me. Most of this was done through her assistant. I was very disappointed in the heartless greedy way they run their business and will never put my daughter in a facility like this.

Horrible place! The Director Terri is very unprofessional and unorganized! I was told several times that my payment was lost/never received and was threatened to stop keeping my children If I didn’t pay again only to have her find my original money order once I came with my money order receipts. They are horrible at answering the phone so you cannot call and check I’m on your kids and it takes them atleast 10-15 minutes to answer the door when coming for drop off and pick up! I was late to work everyday because of this. This place is not at all a normal Montessori Childcare provider! Terri is money hungry and that’s all she cares about. She lied to me as well telling me that the state didn’t pay her so I had to pay what the state didn’t even tho I have documents from the state telling me what they paid her. Worst mistake of my life sending my kids there.Total lies!!!! I’ve made every single payment and have proof! We’re actuallt suing this horrible excuse for a childcare facility.As you can see the owner is very unprofessional and a flat out liar!Please parents stay away!!! This woman has some serious mental issues!

If it were possible to only give zero stars I would but it’s not possible so i will just give one. Please do not put your kids in this type of environment...it’s not safe and there are too many children losing their lives to bad daycares and staff. There are so many other daycares in Blue Springs that will take good care of your children. My children were much better off when i pulled them out of this daycare and put them in Kidding Around. The owner is money hungry and she tries to get over on the parents. She lies and says she has doctors appointments everyday because she’s never there. Very unprofessional. Save yourself the headache!!!!

This place seems more like a money grabbing, babysitting business venture, rather than an actual Montessori school. For one, theyre not even an accredited Montessori school, despite there misleading name. Tuition is due all at once for the month, or a late fee is applied, even though when we enrolled our children we were told we could pay twice a month.Were the money goes, who knows, because the inside condition of the building is really run down as well as the parking lot. It doesnt get plowed or ice removal during inclement weather. They also do not like to run the heat when it is cold. We were even told by former employees that the building had a mouse problem, but that could just be a disgruntled employee. They close a day before and a day after a major holiday like Thanksgiving, but still charge full tuition. Most parents are still working the day before, so I had to pay another babysitter, even though I paid MDS to baby sit my kids. There is only one boss, the owner, who isnt even there most of the time. No supervisors or managers or even a camera system in case God forbid an emergency occurs. Out of the 6 or 7 months we had our infant in school he had at least that many different new teachers. My wife and I were told there was a curriculum, but I never saw it or was explained what it was. Makes me think Montessori means free play all day The parent teacher conference took literally 3 minutes to complete. Very disappointing.

This daycare is HORRIBLE! If I could give a 0 star rating I would! I came into the daycare center to get an application & I definately will NOT work there considering I saw a childs hand be slapped by a worker there. If you want your kid screamed at, kids slapped, kids running around with no supervision then be my guest take your kid here. but I would never bring my kid to this daycare center! My aunt use to take my little cousin to this daycare & now I know why she took him out. On top of all of this, from what ive heard they have a bug infestation. Now of course Im not 100% sure on that but I wouldnt doubt it considering everything I saw within not even 30 minutes of me being there. Every worker that is there is not professionally trained or has experience. My friend got hired there and got put with the new borns on her first day with no experience & she was shocked! My friend that works there also hasnt got paid for two weeks of working! Shes been denied her check. Terri is NOT good at her job or handeling situations. Shes rarely ever there either. A worker there was also provoked from working with the newborns for not feeding them & not changing their diapers! Do NOT bring your kid here! I also highly bet that the few good reviews that are on here are fake. Because it says google user on all of them and theres never been ONE good review before the past 2 weeks! Do your research before taking your kids here please! Makes me sick to my stomach!
