A good place for a child's academic beginning. Clean, warm environment. A home away from home for my child.

Sunrise Parochial Pre-K Academy is a Private Pre-K school operated by a church and directed by a truly dedicated individual. While the facility is smaller than most centers, it exceeds, by far, the norm in educating its Pre-K students. The daily lesson plans are performance driven, not activity driven. The Students have a class schedule just like in formal school settings. Their classes consist of "Reading," Read & Write," "Math," "Computer" and "Arts classes." In addition, their daily program incorporates learning-based & structured activity games to keep students motivated toward positive health. Students are tested weekly/periodically to see how well class lessons are being retained and parents receive monthly report cards on their child's progress throughout the year. The environment of the facility is - in my opinion - just the right size for Pre-K learning, not too big or small. Their classrooms are cozy for 6-8 students per room, which virtually guarantees small class structure, I recommend this Private Program to any parent in Kansas City Missouri seeking a wonderful starting place for the Pre-K education of your child.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
