Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.

How they teach
Play-based
“Play Based Curriculum Is an educational approach that emphasizes the importance of play in a child's development and learning. It is typically used in early childhood education and is grounded in the idea that children learn best when they are actively engaged in hands-on, experiential activities that are enjoyable and meaningful to them.”
Who cares for your child
Trista Drake (Owner) since 1998, Scarlet Drake (Teacher) since 2020 and Haley Slava since 2023.
Of 360 Kansas City-area providers, 15 publish how long a named staff member has been there; the longest tenure at each of those has a median of nineteen years.
