My son needs to start pre-school in the fall. He is a very bright child but unfortunately I'm not very disciplined about working with him at home so he lacks in some of the basic skills I think he'll need for Kindergarten, recognizing letters, writing, crafting, etc. I'd like to find something preferably 3 days a week somewhere in the $100.00/month range. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I'm near 87th and I-35 so something around this part of OP or Lenexa would be good. And if it's faith based that's a plus for us. I already know of Maranatha and Sunshine up in Shawnee. Thanks mommas!!
if he is 4 before the fall, your school district probably has a pre-k program that is usually free. They do activities and get them prepared for Kindergarten but mostly work on social skills. You might want to ask your school district and find out if there is a program available.

This website has a pretty complete list of preschools around this area. Good luck!
i hve heard great things about Bethany Lutheran at like 91st and Lamar. Good Luck!!
head start overland park is certified by the national assn for the education of young people (ages 0-8) and they might have part time. you might be surprised, your income might qualify to allow you to take your child there. other options that are "sort of" near are valley view united methodist church and pretty sure they have part time preschool option, and brookridge has part time, brookridge day school, but I can't say how expensive they are. for part time.
there is a church that is off of 87th and I think Lamar on the southeast side of that intersection that seems to have a preschool. but i can't vouch for the quality etc
there is also a day care run by Calvin Richert and his wife Caroline off 83rd street just west of metcalf and 83rd street and they sometimes allow part time. they are AWESOME though our kids have never been in their day care they teach a class/method called Discipline WIthout damage including book etc and it's a wonderful wonderful teaching process for children ...we think the world of the Richerts.
you could probably google Discipline Without Damage overland park ks and get their phone number. wonderful, smart, calm, loving folks.
hope this helps
Legacy Christian church at 103rd & Antioch has an awesome preschool! I would highly recommend looking into it. I know they are enrolling now for the fall.
Good Luck!
