“Our son has been at Dandelions and Mudpuddles since he was just a few weeks old, and it has truly become an extension of our family. The teachers know him, celebrate him, and genuinely care about him. One of my favorite moments each morning is watching him walk down the hallway while office staff and teachers from other classrooms peek out to say good morning. Everyone knows him, and that makes us feel like we’re part of a family, not just a daycare. He is safe, happy, and loved. We are so grateful for Dandelions and Mudpuddles and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent.”

“Seven years ago, while I was newly pregnant with my first daughter, I began the overwhelming search for childcare. After contacting 14 daycare centers throughout Johnson County, I discovered that only one had an infant opening available when we needed it—and thankfully, that one was Dandelions and Mud Puddles. Now, our youngest daughter is thriving in their care, and we remain just as confident and grateful for the choice we made seven years ago. The team at Dandelions takes the time to truly know every child. They prioritize each child’s safety and emotional well-being while building meaningful relationships with families. It’s clear they have created much more than a daycare—they’ve built a community where children are supported and encouraged to thrive.
The facility provides a welcoming environment filled with opportunities for children to learn and have fun. The teachers are caring, kind, and invested in each child’s development. The curriculum is engaging and has helped prepare both of our daughters for the next stages of learning.
Although we still have a couple of years left at Dandelions, I already know how much we will miss being part of this community. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and strong foundation they have provided our daughters, and we recommend Dandelions and Mud Puddles to any family.”

“We have been a member of the Dandelions & Mud Puddles family for over seven years and there is no one else I would trust to take better care of my kids than the staff at DMP. They are attentive to my individual children’s’ needs, are evolving and adapting with the times and genuinely love for the children in their care. If you are looking for a home away from home for your kiddos, this is the spot.”

“As a first time Mom, picking out the right daycare for my child was one of the most important decisions for me - one that caused me A LOT of stress. I had received several recommendations from coworkers and friends for Dandelions and Mud Puddles, so the choice was a no-brainer. I was a mess the first day of drop off, however, all of my daughter’s teachers and the front office ladies were very reassuring, kind, and thoughtful. My daughter quickly fell into a routine and now, here we are over a year later moved up to the 1’s classroom. My daughter now gets excited every day going to school, and even gets upset when we have to leave for the day. Every one of the teachers and staff we have interacted with make me feel like they have a personal relationship with my daughter. They stop and say hi whenever they see her. My daughter’s vocabulary and skills are increasing every day and I am constantly surprised when I hear her say a new word or do a new skill that she has learned at daycare. For new parents who are stressing about finding a daycare they can trust, I cannot recommend Dandelions and Mudpuddles enough. I am so glad we have found a place to take care of our daughter every day.”

“Our family is so grateful for the love and care our children have received. As parents of a micro preemie, we were naturally anxious about how she would adjust in a daycare setting. From day one, the staff met her with incredible patience, encouragement, and compassion. They helped her build confidence, develop socially, and truly thrive alongside her peers.
Our youngest has also flourished thanks to the genuine love, attention, and care he receives every day. It’s clear that the teachers know each child as an individual, celebrate their unique personalities, and create an environment where they feel safe, valued, and supported.
Knowing our children are in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment gives us complete peace of mind. We are incredibly thankful for the positive impact the staff has had on our children’s growth and development and couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

“The staff are warm, attentive, and clearly love what they do. It’s given us so much peace of mind knowing our child is in good hands. Highly recommend to any family looking for a caring, reliable daycare.”
