“The love and care our daughter has received at Goddard, combined with the school’s approach to learning and development has really been so enriching for our family. Our daughter LOVES going to school. She’s absolutely thrived in the year since we’ve been sending her to Goddard. We couldn’t have more positive things to say about our experience.”

“I have loved this daycare for both of my kids! My girls have loved their experiences and have learned so much. I credit the teachers for getting them ready for Pre-K. The teachers always make my kids feel loved and cared for. The management team is also very responsive and willing to help! Their fair pricing makes them an amazing choice for any family. Thank you EEA!”

“I can't thank the teachers and staff at the Goddard School enough for not only the love and care that they show my children, but also for the support that they also provide for my husband and I. Goddard provides the best community that fosters learning and togetherness for both the children as well as their families.”

“My family and I are fortunate to have our child at this location.

I wish this had been our only experience with daycare because it’s been so amazing since our switch.

We have experienced infant 1 and 2 and it’s more than what we could’ve expected.

The partnership we have or have had with staff and us as parents has been great.

Communication, feedback, and support have helped my child reach milestones.

As parents, we realize it’s a team effort, and our teachers are A-list team players.”

“Enrolling our son Elijah at Primrose Heritage has truly been one of the best decisions my wife and I have made. Initially, we were quite hesitant—there are several daycare and school-style programs in the area with similar models, and we weren’t sure which would be the right fit. But looking back, we’re so grateful we chose Primrose.

From the moment we stepped in, we felt the difference. The dedicated chef is a standout—Eli absolutely loves the chicken pesto, and the comforting smell of cinnamon pancakes during morning drop-off is something we’ll never forget. Every teacher that he had built something special with Eli, he still knows all of them by name! Moreover, the warm and professional relationship we’ve built with the management team has also reassured us that our investment was well worth it.

Most importantly, we’ve seen incredible growth in Elijah. He’s thriving both academically and socially, making friends with ease and becoming a well-rounded, confident child. We couldn’t be happier.

Thank you, Primrose Heritage, for being such a positive part of our son’s journey.”

“My infant aged son has been attending CDLC fulltime for 6 months now and its been a dream. He grins and smiles really big every time he is dropped off and is always happy when we pick him up. I really love their app for communicating/logging daily activities. His teachers really seem to enjoy him and it really comforts me knowing he is in safe and loving hands so I can focus on work. Thank you so much ladies! His father and I sincerely appreciate everything you do for him!”

“My son has been attending since he was around 2 years old and is now almost 3, and is thriving at BP. The teachers are kind, caring, and communicative, and they keep me updated on his day to day, speech, and overall development, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I can tell that they’re really keeping track of his well being and how he’s acting day to day.

What also stands out is how welcoming the staff is, everyone knows my son by name, and that has been true since the beginning. When my son had a broken leg, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate him and make sure he felt safe, included, and cared for, which meant so much to us.

They have goals and are setting the kids up for success for school years while still letting them have play time. I especially love the playground and wooded setting and paths and how much time the kids spend outside when the weather allows.

While there have been some staffing changes, we mostly see familiar, happy faces. I would absolutely recommend Berry Patch to other families.”

“Love it have had 3 babies to go there and cousins as well it's a great daycare and the love and great teachings offered at kidz biz is amazing and all the staff are amazing I would recommend everyone to send their babies here they won't be disappointed the love they pour in the children as well as the teachings that are taught at kidz biz is what children need!!”

“My daughter is obsessed with her teachers Mrs. Nidhi and Mrs. Ranjani. She is always happy to see them and loves going to school. They provide exceptional care for the children, create a nurturing and engaging environment, and provide a stimulating learning experience.”

“I must say that you all have been so amazing, by far the best daycare my children have been to, not over-stimulating, very orderly and structured, all the while allowing the children the freedom they need to explore and expand their curiosity and learning in a peaceful clean balanced environment. I honestly hate that I have to take out my 2 boys (4 and 1 years old) due to my new job schedule, because I would love to see how they both continue to thrive from being in you guys’ vicinity. But if I need those first shift hours again in the future for them, this will definitely be the place I reach out to first to see if you guys have room for us to be apart of your daycare family again. Thank you all so so much for everything ??❤️?✨ Blessings”

“This is an absolutely versatile community center with warm & friendly staff. I've only visited for the used book sales and am thankful they have them. I know people who use various facilities here, and they say it's a fantastic facility.”

“We’ve been part of the Love and Laughter Preschool family for the past seven years, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Both of our daughters have attended, and the teachers have been nothing short of amazing. The staff is so supportive, caring, and truly invested in each child. Our girls have loved going to school every single day — it feels more like family than a daycare. We are so grateful for the loving, nurturing environment they’ve created and would highly recommend Love and Laughter to anyone looking for a place where their children can grow, learn, and feel at home.”

“We absolutely adore Patterson Schools. My son has been enrolled for the last year and it has been an amazing experience. The staff are incredible and care so much about their families. We have had some health problems with our youngest that have led to some various difficulties for our family and Ms. Amanda has always been so helpful. I love having my son somewhere where he is so well taken care of and loved!”

“As a stay-at-home parent searching for the right early childhood environment for my first child, I felt incredibly lucky to find Ethical Society Nursery School. From the very beginning, it stood out. The open communication, clear boundaries, deep investment in each child, and thoughtful balance of low-tech, nature-based play all create something truly special. But more than anything, it was the sense of joy and safety my child felt from his very first day.

Our son started in the two-day Green class in January, and the teachers and director went out of their way to make both of us feel supported, seen, and genuinely excited for this new chapter. From that point on, every stage of his development felt like a true partnership. We were never navigating anything alone, and as a parent, that kind of trust and collaboration means everything. On top of that, he has thrived in their play-based learning environment, and has surpassed all developmental and learning milestone while maintaining an joyful, supportive, low-stress experience.

Now, as our second child enters this same phase, I feel nothing but confidence and excitement for what lies ahead. I’m now a working parent, and the availability of before and after care has made that transition seamless. What stands out most, though, is how natural all of this support feels. Communication is direct, warm, and human. There is no barrier between families and teachers or leadership.

Even educators who have never directly taught my children know them, greet them by name, and show genuine affection and care. That speaks volumes about the kind of community this is.

Ethical Society Nursery School is a beautiful, intentional, progressive, and deeply nurturing place. We feel incredibly proud to be part of it, and I truly could not recommend it more highly.”

“DaySpring has been a ray of sunshine in our children's lives. It is such a warm and welcome community that has helped our kids gain confidence in theater and developing connections outside of school. They both look forward to DaySpring every week for theater class and absolutely love the summer camps. I recommend anyone looking for additional music, theater, art, or performing arts- check out Dayspring. The staff is incredibly talented AND kind and go the extra mile in everything that they do. We love to support DaySpring in all of their endeavors. Definitely check them out!”

“If you are seeking a daycare that has an amazing staff who cares about your child. Then this is the place. The teachers are great and take good care of the kids. Also the teachers come up with some really cool activities for the kiddos for crafts and academically. You won’t regret bringing your kids here. They will learns lots and you will have the knowledge that they are in good hands and safe.

Shout out to the director Trish and assistant director Niki! They are fantastic!! They have an outstanding staff too!”

“I LOVE The Lab School. They truly focus on the students and help them construct learning. They offer a wide variety of activities and tools to elicit excitement and learning. They keep things small, all about the kids and fun. This is a fantastic little community. The best kept secret of Kirkwood!”

“Finding childcare can be stressful(especially after a traumatizing experience with another center), but KinderCare made that transition so positive for us. My daughter was welcomed with kindness and patience, and it’s obvious how much the staff truly care about the children. She comes home talking about her day, what she learned, and the friends she made. Knowing she’s happy, safe, and loved while I’m at work is priceless. We’re incredibly grateful for the entire team and the positive impact they’ve had on our family.”

“So far, Kiddie Academy has done well to nurture and educate our child. Their educational plan is well thought out and tailored to the different age groups. It is also clear that the teachers care very much for each child. It is a safe and trusting environment and we are happy with the service.”

“My son and daughter attend Just 4 Us and they love it. The staff greets us with smiles every morning and provides snacks for the parents on Friday’s. I love a good snack just like the kids, so that’s appreciated. The teachers keep me updated everyday through tadpoles with pictures and videos of the different activities/school work my daughter is doing. It gives me a peace of mind because I can see that my daughter is enjoying herself and also learning. My son is in before and after care there, so they take him to and from school. I trust that they will keep my son safe during that drive. We love and appreciate the Just 4 Us safe. <3”

“My son Noah has been coming here since he was 1. We are on year 2 and love it here. He loves his teacher. They do so many activities. We can’t wait for summer times for there water play. The Director and teachers are all so awesome and amazing with always having parent meeting trying to see what they can do to make the daycare better. Great place to have your kids at.”

“This is good school with great teachers and valuable work ethic. I graduate in 1 year so, this school has a good impact on me and my sister who graduated 5 years before.”

“My son has been going here since Aug and with this being his frist time in type of setting I couldn't have more impressed with the care they have provided! My son was a little behind in his speech so I was worried how thing would go for him, but Ms. Nancy and Ms. Amy have been so patient and helpful with him! They really are two amazing and care women! He has made so many new friends with the kids and staff here. They have also be very helpful to me as a mother with my concerns and questions with this being they first time I have delt with any type of daycare/preschool. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my son to go! Thank you for treating us like family!!”

“I can’t believe this independent preschool has been part of the St Louis community for 75 years. My husband attended as did my children and it’s still going strong!”

“We loved this Kindercare. The app was so nice to have with all of the pictures and the updates were constant. You could never ask for more. They were always on top of communication. The staff were always so nice and the kids had so much fun there and always had artwork to bring home.”

“We loved Union Preschool! Our kid attended January 3's before he was old enough for PreK-3 in SLPS. He loved Union! The teachers and community are lovely. I wish it had a full time option so we could have stayed longer!”

“Shuai the center director is amazing and always making sure the families have what they need. She is supportive with her staff and makes sure they are taken care of. She loves the families and helps anytime there is a problem. Our families love her and so do the children. She is 10/10.”

“Raintree school was an incredible experience for my children. As an educator myself, I had high expectations when it came to early childhood education. The teachers did an excellent job when it came to project based learning. It was enriching, challenging, and authentic. We saw much growth when it came to number sense and literacy skills. The teachers take the time to help all children learn about emotions, problem solving skills with peers, self regulation skills, and positive self image with a growth mindset. We chose Raintree during a year we knew our family would be dealing with a military deployment. We wanted a space where our children would be best supported and they were. They thrived in an outdoor environment and rich learning environment.”

“Excellent daycare facility! My 2 year old son is genuinely happy to go to “school” every day which means no tears at drop off. We’ve been here for 2 years now, every staff member I’ve encountered has been exceptional and my son is treated well. I could give numerous examples of how well the staff communicate with each other and parents. I’ve been impressed since day 1 and would highly recommend Teddy Bear to anyone seeking quality childcare.”
