Moving to the area and need a preschool for my 3yo in Overland Park, Kansas. The public school system in the area where I live now has it's own pre_K program, I would like something more than daycare
My daughter went to Shawnee Mission Headstart. I dont know about your income, but they have community positions if you exceed the income guidelines.
My daughter loved the program, it exposed her to many things, where they encouraged her to be creative, and really helped her get ready for kindergarten.
Not to mention, parent involvement is strongly encouraged and the support I personally received from the school helped me out so much.
I cant say enough good things about their programs. I enourage anyone to atleast check out their program. There are two programs, Wrap around Care, they open at 730 and close at 530p and it runs year round, or part day, part year, from 9-1, and starts the end of August to May.
Even now, my daughter still loves to go back and see her old teachers and talks about her friends and the staff.
I encourage you to get involved in Policy Council, eventhough my daughter is no longer at the school, I still participate as a community member.
give it a try. They are close to downtown Overland Park.
