Best Preschool Independence Near Me

Erick Shireman: Best place to take your child. Really good teachers

Alex Keyworth: under staffed. If you want your money back in a timely mater this is not the place to go.

Tori Ormiston: My son went here starting in pre-primary all the way to kindergarten. This is the best decision we have made for our son. All of the teachers love the children like their own and always encourage kindness, respect, and curiosity. Amazing school!

Jon Olson: Just had my children start today! Excited for them to learn!

Briana Miller: My daughter attended here as a pre-k student the year before she started Kindergarten. In that time, she learned so many new skills and actually learned how to read. Not just sort of read, but REALLY read. Her Kindergarten teacher was so shocked. She always told me how much she loved school too.My son is going to start soon and do the same. I hope that he gets the same experience. I'd recommend this school to anyone.

Lei Shaw: My son stayed here for a year before we moved. We enjoyed the school.

Robert Prutsman: Lori and her staff run a top shelf operation at Sunrise and I’m grateful my boys have the opportunity to attend their facility. I encourage anyone with interest to stop by for a site visit and tour of the academy, then you can see for yourself what a hidden gem this place really is. Fingers crossed they have openings!!

BayleeWhetsel: Love the atmosphere of this school and the staff who work here. They always make learning for the child interesting and fun. Everyday the children learn, laugh, and explore their curious nature in a safe and welcoming environment.

Megan Zirkle: This school is like a second home for my children. I absolutely cannot say enough about this wonderful school. They are loving, always teaching amazing lessons, and I just love it here!

Kristy DeMeyer: I have one child that has graduated from Sunrise and one that will be there for another 2 years - they LOVE it - I LOVE it - it's an amazing school. My daughter was very prepared for kindergarten when she started and my 3 year old is spelling her name and knows her numbers. We love the focus on nature and a world view. I can't recommend this place enough!

Michele Potts: My son went to Sunrise the first year they opened and now my daughter goes here 5 years later. This school is flat out amazing. If you want your child to be a student of the world and to grow academically this is the place. Lori Smart and Steve Ward are passionate about what they do. My children aren't just students here, they are loved everyday and treated as they are theirs!There will always be an unhappy customer with any business because some people cannot be pleased. I actually feel saddened to hear there are some who have had a misunderstanding or seen a misrepresentation of what actually goes on daily. It is true that not every teacher has to be Montessori certified BUT that goes for all Montessori schools. However, this team has several who are actually certified and they encourage academic growth amongst their staff as well! As far as being "over priced" I would suggest you check out pricing in the area. Non Montessori day cares charge $600-800 a month. While Blue Springs Montessori and Lakewood Montessori charge $800-1000. This school is actually far less expensive!My son is in third grade. He attends school in the Blue Springs district and is and has been an incredible student. His first grade teacher estimated his reading level to be around the 8th grade level. He was ranked in the top 8 percent of all other second graders that took that test last year. Every category was well above mastery. I know Sunrise is to thank because they had him reading by 4 years old. My 3 year old daughter just started going this year. She already knows all the days of the week and the months and can even tell me them in Spanish. She is excited to learn and loves finding out who SHE is!!I can't recommend this school enough. All the staff have been a wonderful blessing!!! They will teach your children with hands on activities about Science , math, English, Spanish, History, art, and music. They will have the opportunity to be a part of growing a real garden and eating what they grow! They will learn about being resourceful and about loving our Earth! Check it out!!!

Gabriel P.: Horrible. Absolutely terrible. Lori Smart, the owner is a horrible human being, and should never be around children.Here's the truth. There was a child who had an allergic reaction to peanut butter, because that day they made bird feeders. The parents well informed Lori Smart that this child was allergic to peanut butter, and when this incident occurred, she covered herself by having all the teachers lie about what happened. Just so she wouldn't get sued. She sent out an email to all of the teachers stating that this is not to be discussed anymore, and that the child was never in contact with peanut butter. SHE FLAT OUT LIED! You have to be a sick person to do that. Her only concern is your money, not those children. It's supposed to be a Montessori School, but she has stated before on record, that she DOES NOT have to have a Montessori teacher present with our children.. What am I paying her for then? Day care!?!I see that she has posted here on Google review as a client, not like she owns the place.. Who does that? Someone who is willing to do anything to make money, and not the honest way. Please for the love of God, do not send your children here. It's an over priced daycare, ran by a horrible person.

Maynard Cleaning: They have the best staff! My son and joyed every minute of attending sunrise Montessori Academy. I would highly recommend this to any parent looking for a great place to take their kids

Dwayne Boyer: I'd have to honestly say that this place is no more than a high dollar day care so much more than a learning experience for the children! I stopped by one day to pick up my child. And looked in on what was taking place there. And all I witnessed was the Childrens all playing! There was no teaching at all being done there!

Ashley Thomas: Our family is so happy with Sunrise Academy. As an educator myself I was very worried about finding the best fit for our son. I toured alot of traditional and Montessori facilities and was not finding what I was looking for.When looking for a school I was looking for advancement academically, self independence and an all around self awareness of himself and others. When I toured Sunrise Academy I was blown away, from the cleanliness, how organized and how engaging each teacher was. Lastly, I loved how each teacher was certified. Our son has been attending Sunrise Academy for 4 1/2 months now and I cannot say enough how impressed we are. My son is academically growing and gaining independence! If you are looking for an overall educational program, I strongly encourage you to have your child attend Sunrise Academy!

Ernesto Vazquez Borrero: Te atienden en español !! Excelente colegio

Lori Smart: Excellent Montessori School with very caring and compassionate teachers who are not only trained and certified, but also who go above and beyond to provide an excellent education.

Danny Calderon: Teachers are lovely towards everyone, great environment for kids and in a safe neighborhood.

Anthony Wright: Good school

Jamie Warthon: Most staff seem snooty, my son is adhd/odd, from reviews ( before we moved to the school district ) that I read I thought that they were capable of handling different outbursts and behavior but I have to completely disagree. This is not a school for children with *special* needs.

Susan Hardyway: Awesome school, wonderful teachers!!!

Natasha Phelps: Just got done enrolling my child for kindergarten and everyone is so nice and helpful. I think my child will like this school.
