Looking for Inexpensive Part Time Preschool

Updated on January 16, 2009
C.L. asks from Prairie Village, KS

My daughter is 2 1/2, and I think she would really benefit from spending more time with children her own age in an educational environment. We are currently living in Prairie Village, but are hoping to move to the Shawnee/ Lenexa area. Does anyone have any recommendations on an early preschool program that is once or twice a week? (If it matters, she is fully potty trained.) Thank you in advance.

What can I do next?

My son is 3 and goes to Sunshine Preschool just off of Shawnee Mission Parkway and approx. Quivira (in Shawnee). They have 3, 4, and pre-K classes. He is a little shy and I just thought he needed some additional time with kids his own age, too. He loves it and has benefitted so much from it!

Our son goes to Canterbury Academy at Shawnee Crossings K-7 & SM Pkwy). They have preschool rooms with kids ranging from 2 1/2 years and up and they don't require kids to be potty trained. Great staff!

I really liked Valley View United Methodist Church at 95th & Antioch in OP. My two boys (now 5 & 6) started going there at 18 months for their Parents Day Out (PDO) program and then onto preschool when they were 3. I think most pre-schools won't accept children unless they are 3 by Sept. 1st so you may want to look into a PDO program until your daughter turns 3. The PDO program @ Valley View is awesome. The teachers are so nice, really love the kids and have been there for YEARS! I really felt comfortable leaving my children there and then when they started preschool, I was just as happy. There website is: www.valleyviewumc.org. Just click on 'Youth & Ministry programs' then on 'Children's Ministry' for their PDO, Preschool & Daycare options

I recommend Knox Preschool its at 95th and Knox. She needs to be 3 years old and potty trained. There 3 year old class is Tues and Thurs 9am to 11:30am for $100 a month ! I am not sure when she turns 3 but I looked and looked and I couldnt find any preschools who would take children that were not potty trained. If you go to a place that is a "daycare" center, but has a "preschool" room, I would be leary about that because I worked in one and it was NOT preschool it was just daycare ! Good Luck !

I highly recommend St. Paul's United Methodist Preschool in Lenexa. They are located about 79th and Lackman Road. I wrote a detailed response to a "Denise" if you want to check it out or just check out their website at www.preschool.stpaulslenexa.org. They have several flexible programs available and very affordable. My son has been going there for 2 years and he loves it! Great staff and teachers!

Try Maranatha at the Antioch Church off I-35 and Antioch Rd. exit. Dont think they will take the child til they turn 3 though. But they do have part time. Very good school. My granddaughter went there. Really loved all they offered.

You can also contact local churches for Mothers Day out. They only offer these services once or twice a week. Gets the child to interact with others while giving you some adult time. Doesnt offer the educational part to my knowledge.

Good luck.
