The staff at Crouthers is like an extension of our family!We have been with the school for almost 6 years now and couldn't be happier. Our Son moved to Crouthers (from an in-home daycare) when he turned two. To this day we still say that was one of the best decisions we ever made. He started Kindergarten with a noticeable advantage over the rest of his class.Fast forward 4 years and, when our daughter was born, there wasn't a doubt that she would attend Crouthers as well. Not only that, our nephews started attending (all of the way from Kirkwood) when my Sister heard me raving about how much we love our Crouthers family.Leaving your kids in someone else's care is one of the hardest things to do as a parent. However, Crouthers has made being a working Mom so much easier.

I can’t say enough great things about Crouthers Academy. We have had all three of our children there since 2019 who are treated by staff like their own. The owner and both directors are extremely hands on, and always welcoming with a smiling face. Each of the teachers my children have had have been amazing, and always communicating via Brightwheel app and in person. Finding somewhere you feel your children are safe and loved is so important when choosing a daycare. Crouthers is so much more than just a daycare, it’s a family.

We have 2 kids at Crouthers and have been there since 2019. Even with the challenges of staffing and the pains during COVID, they always found a way to make it work and never at the expense of our children’s safety or education. I am so pleased with their curriculum and feel the do a great job at each age level. They also have the best summer-fun calendar! I also appreciate the information in the Brightwheel app so we can keep up with our kid’s days while we are busy at work. Shannon & Taylor do an excellent job leading the charge and the owner, Leslie, is always available if needed. My older child has been there almost 4 years and has made the best pals that we’ve been able to extend friendship with outside of school. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crouthers in Chesterfield to anyone looking for a great daycare/preschool for your children. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to send our children there.

We couldn’t feel luckier we found this school 3 years ago. It provides the best combination of learning and fun. Our oldest is going into kindergarten and is incredibly prepared both academically and socially. Both of our girls have had the best teachers. I’ll be so sad when our youngest graduates and we no longer get to see our favorite people at Crouthers! The best school!

My husband and I are first-time parents and new to St. Louis, so finding excellent childcare was tough. Luckily, we found a spot at Crouthers, and even though it’s a 30 minute + commute, we’re here to stay because we are delighted with the care our little one receives. Everyone we've met is friendly, polite, and communicative. His teachers are responsive to us as parents and caring and loving to our son. My mama heart feels at ease when I receive pictures and updates all day long. I hope this review helps parents in need of childcare. We would not keep our baby boy here if we didn't believe it was the best!

You won’t regret it! As a mother who had a not so great experience at a in-home facility, I was given a sense of relief, respect and what I ultimately wanted for my child (now children) was love. My children have grown so much by attending Crouthers Academy Chesterfield. My husband and I are so blessed that each school day we get to drop our children off with facility and teachers who love them just as much as we do. If not, more. I dread the day I can no longer take my children to this wonderful childcare establishment.

The kids like it here generally which is really important, but as a parent (if you pay attention) you will have a lot of negative experiences with this school.

Crouthers Academy is THE quintessential daycare/preschool. My son has been attending Crouthers for over 4 years, since he was 6 weeks old. As a full time working mother, finding the best school at fair pricing was my top priority. I have to say that Crouthers exceeded my expectations and hopes.The staff is caring, attentive, interactive, and you can tell they truly care about the children. I have no doubt that this is because they learn from the top down. Leslie Crouthers, the owner, is very involved with both the Chesterfield and the Eureka locations. She is hands on, has been in the child care and school industry for decades, has two daughters of her own, and is a genuinely good soul with a child's best interests at the forefront of every decision.I am blessed and honored to be able to have let my son attend this amazing school for so long. It will be hard when he graduates next year to go to Kindergarten. But I know that he will be prepared and ready thank to Crouthers exceptional teaching staff and dedication.

Words cannot express the thanks that my family has for each and every Crouthers Academy early childhood teacher and staff person that has been a part of our family.The teachers and director look at each child as an individual, with their own strengths and needs. My child has learned so much and continues to share with me the great activities that go on each day at "school! I could say more about the office staff, extra activities, etc. But in short, I recommend Crouthers Academy to all of my neighbors.

We have three children at Crouthers right now and we wouldn’t pick anywhere else! Many of the teachers have become like family being with my kids from the day they started there. It’s sometimes hard as a working parent knowing other people will spend more hours in a week with your kids, but we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Other perks include their fun summer schedule, spirit weeks, class offerings (soccer, gymnastics) and my kids would say the candy bowl! ?

Love this place. Our kid went there for 3 years and she was well respected and loved. I knew when we dropped her off, there would be no problems. The price was pretty reasonable as well.

We love Crouthers! It really is about the great people who work there. The teachers genuinely seem like they care about helping my children be happy and healthy. They aren't just babysitters who tolerate kids, but instead try to teach and nurture them. They have taught my daughter far more/better than I could and I know they'll do the same for my son.

I can not say enough great things about this school and staff that has become more like a second home and family! Their loving staff paired with an engaging curriculum is the perfect balanced approach to introducing education to young children. The love and education our children recieve from Crouther's Academy has exceeded our every expectation. Highly recommend to any parent!

I have been blessed enough to be able to send my son to Crouthers Academy since he was 6 weeks old. I am not able to work from home or be a stay at home mom, therefore, I knew I had to find a daycare that would be able to provide my son with love, stimulation, and people that truly care for him and his well being. There are so many horror stories about daycares that don't care or try to make kids grow up too fast and not be kids. Not to mention the ones that are neglectful and only in it for the money. After a lot of research by my husband and I, we decided that Crouthers Academy was the place. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made.From the moment we met Leslie, we knew that she loved children and truly put her heart and soul into Crouthers Academy. She takes pride in the people that she hires and requires them to be the best. My son is almost two and is developing leaps and bounds - social, verbal, non-verbal, art, music, dance, playing outside, and so much more!One of the things I enjoy most is that they send me photos of him doing his activities throughout the day. It is hard not being with him and watching him each and every moment, but like so many others, we have to work to provide for our families. Crouthers allows me to feel like I am a part of his day even when I'm not there. I highly recommend this amazing school to any parent who is looking for a place they can trust will care for their child.Thank you to all of the teachers and to Leslie!
