  • I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about ABC Preschool. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for! ABC Preschool is a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. The owner/director, Miss Hilary, is an absolute gem! She is genuine, kind-hearted, extremely involved, organized, and a great communicator. It is evident that she loves the school and every single student in it. Every teacher we have had the privilege of working with at ABC is incredibly patient, supportive, and dedicated to helping each student thrive. The positive impact this preschool has had on my daughter has been incredible. She has grown in confidence, loves learning, and has flourished in ways we could have never imagined. Knowing she is loved and supported every day gives us so much peace of mind. If you're looking for the best preschool in the area, hands down, this is it! We are beyond grateful for everything Miss Hilary and all of the ABC teachers have done for our daughter and for our family!

  • Our family loves A Better Choice Preschool! Our child is in their second year here and loves it. We also did most all of their flexible fun summer camps this past summer. Our child is learning so much, having fun, making great friends, and being completely supported by wonderful teachers and staff. We picked ABC because we didn't want just a standard daycare experience. ABC checks all the boxes. They really understand toddlers. They're fun, attentive, and nurturing, as well as firm and professional. We have absolutely no complaints. We recommend ABC Preschool to all our friends. Miss. Hilary is an incredible leader and a true teacher at heart.

  • We love ABC Preschool! My son has been thriving there, both educationally and socially, and loves going to school. All the teachers and Ms. Hilary are so welcoming, and they truly treat your kids like their own.

  • My kids attended preschool and summer camp at ABC Preschool and it was such a positive experience for our whole family! The director, Hilary Graves, has created such a warm, welcoming environment and a curriculum that truly prepares kids for kindergarten. All of the teachers are expert educators and my kids were so excited to see their teacher each day! As someone who tends to worry, I felt so comfortable dropping them off at ABC Preschool. I truly appreciated the small class sizes and consistent communication that was provided. I highly recommend ABC Preschool!

  • Absolutely amazing! We’ve had 3 kiddos graduate A Better Choice Preschool and we would do it all over again. The teachers are wonderful; each bringing their own energy and personality, as well as the owner. Such a wonderful greeting from all to start your day. While I love how my girls were ready and prepared on the education side of things for kindergarten, I appreciate the emotional and social development the school emphasizes as well - fostering such growth. Communication is solid amongst teachers and parents. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our girls and feel very grateful for the experience A Better Choice Preschool provided. In the heart of Lee’s Summit you don’t want to miss your opportunity here ❤️

  • My older 2 attended here and my youngest is starting soon. I love all of the teachers and staff here. Miss Andrea is amazing and we love her! What I love most about this preschool is that they teach the kids how to navigate their feelings and social interactions with others. I believe that is very important and is the reason I wanted my kids to go to a preschool before Kindergarten. I also love that we have the time to talk with the teachers and staff to get to know them and hear more about our kids' days.
