Is it possible to set the DataSource of a Kendo ListView without having the DataSource then call the read() method?

I have a main DataSource that I am using on a ListView and all of the child ListViews but am just filtering it for each ListView depending on a few conditions. The way that I'm doing this is once all of the data has been bound to the main ListView then I create all of the child ListViews and assign the same datasource with filtering.

The issue I'm having here is once I assign the filtered DataSource to the new ListView it seems to be calling the read method again.

baSurveyGroupTemplateDataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            async: false,
            url: "/Url/to/data"
            dataType: "json",
            type: "GET",
            data: {
                id: $("#TemplateId").val()
            },
        }
    }
}),             
groupDataBound: function (e) {
    $(".childBaSuveyGroupTemplate").each(function () {
        viewModel.seedGroup(this);
    });
},
seedGroup: function (parentGroup) {
    var childrenGroupList = $(parentGroup);
    var parentGroupId = childrenGroupList.data("id");
    var childrenGroupDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource(viewModel.baSurveyGroupTemplateDataSource);
    childrenGroupDataSource.query({
        filter: ({ field: "BaSurveyGroupTemplateParentId", operator: "eq", value: parentGroupId })
    });
    childrenGroupList.kendoListView({
        template: kendo.template($("#baSurveyGroupTemplateDisplayTemplate").html()),
        dataSource: childrenGroupDataSource
    });
}

Let me know if I need to clarify anything. It's hard to try and put what I'm doing and the problem I'm having into words.
