We highly recommend the Mothers Day Out, Rainbow School, at 77th & Holmes. Although it is through South-Broadland Presby Church, religious stuff was never pushed on the kids. It is run by a fabulous lady who's been the principal for almost 20 years. She values individuality, kindness/caring, and diversity.
My daughter started at 18 months and we loved it enough that my son started when he was only 3 months old (I worked part-time then). Rainbow School has also been a great connection through the years for many things--tball, soccer, dance class, art classes, play dates, neighborhood kids. Now both are at Border Star Montessori Elementary in Brookside & have friends that they've known since they were babies/toddlers!
Also if you have want any information on Border Star, we'd be happy to share. The school starts with Preschool, age 3, and goes through 6th grade. This is our 8th year there!!
