In Johnson County, parents have trusted options for keeping their little ones safe and active when they’re apart. The Johnson County Park and Recreation District (JCPRD) is proud to be recognized as the Best Youth Sports Program in the 2026 Best of Johnson County awards.

JCPRD Youth Sports

Each year, young athletes throughout the community build skills, confidence, and friendships through JCPRD leagues, camps, and clinics. From baseball, basketball, and softball to soccer, flag football, and volleyball, JCPRD offers opportunities for a wide range of ages, interests, and experience levels.

Lord of Life Early Education Center is trusted by local parents to provide a solid foundation for the educational future of their children. Licensed by the state of Kansas and accredited by the National Lutheran Schools Accreditation, they work alongside parents to develop children intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually through the love of Jesus Christ.
