“We started at Hazelwood KinderCare just as Covid was beginning in 2020. We left our 7 week old baby at a place we had never seen with people we barely knew. And we have NEVER regretted our decision! From the very beginning the teachers have taken amazing care of our now two kiddos, encouraging them to grow and learn. Highly recommend!”
“A MUST visit! So impressed by the zoo. From Nashville and if you know…I compared it to, if Cheekwood and Nashville zoo (on steroids) has a baby plus MORE!

“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!”
“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!”

“O2B is great! The teachers are supportive and caring for my children.
Ms. Kira is a very talented teacher who loves to teach the kids and prepare them for school.
Ms. Brittany and Ms. Denise care so much for all the children and provide a loving environment for my children!
As a new member of the O2B team Ms. Savannah shows how much she cares for the children.”
“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 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 have sent both kids to Little Guppy and have had great experiences with them both. The teachers are attentive, nurturing, and genuinely know each child as an individual.
The communication from the staff is excellent. The environment is safe, clean, and the curriculum is designed for little ones to learn and grow.
We are so grateful for the teachers and staff and Little Guppy!”
“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!”
“My daughter attended here 2023-2025 and we are so grateful that she did. She LOVED it here and it set her up for success in Kindergarten. Every staff member - from admin to her teachers to the Lunch Lady (lol) - really cares about kids and wants the best for them.
Highly recommend it here and getting on the waitlist early.”
“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”

“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!”
“Wonderful Teachers and Parateaching stuff! love the friendly environment and fun for my kids as they made lots of good friends there. Their PAT program is awesome all PAT consolers are wonderful and knowledgeable!”
“We are so lucky to have Ruby enrolled at DCC! The teachers are caring and thoughtful, the children love it there, and it feels like a family. I know she is in good hands.”
“We are so happy we chose Beagle for daycare! Our daughter is absolutely thriving in the infant room. The teachers are incredibly attentive and caring, and we really appreciate the regular updates throughout the day. Miss Nicole and Miss Marilyn are both wonderful to work with—communication is easy, and they always keep families informed in a timely way. They truly listen to any concerns and address them right away, and they’re just as open to hearing and sharing positive feedback with the staff. We couldn’t be happier with the school and the amazing team!”
“I would highly recommend this day care! They have worked so well with my kiddo who has autism, and are so supportive and welcoming of her needs. All of the staff is so friendly and works great with the kids, and it really is run like a school more than a day care. They also provide so many fun activities and opportunities for the kids to have fun such as weekly water play days, carnivals, and more!”
“I was so comforted after picking up my baby from his first day of care at little learners. Miss Ophelia and Miss Alisha filled me in throughout the day on how he was doing and made sure that I was in the know on how he was acclimating to the new environment. The fact that it is a small school aids in promoting individualized care And relational development amongst all of the kiddos. I was preparing for an emotional and upset baby when arriving to pick him up, but I was so very surprised to see that he was giggly and all smiles went in Miss Roos arms. Thank you so much little learners. I cannot wait to see how much my baby learns and grows within your precious community!”
“I took my son for a walk through and he just didn’t want to leave! My son started out just doing before care and he loved it so much, I just kept him here for summer camp!! We love the staff and how active they keep the kids. They are very affordable! I love how Kay Kay, the owner, is very hands on with her business and the kids!! The meals are made right in the building so no basic school meals!”

“Our infant daughter was only at Westport School for a few months, but she absolutely loved it! She was always excited to go to school every morning, which says a lot. The staff are so kind and it really feels like they care about each individual child. We’re so thankful for the time we were part of the Westport family!”
“My 3 year has been here for just over a year and she loves it. No place is perfect but they really do try. Ms. Douglas and the regional director are always open to feedback and actually makes an effort to continuously improve the facility. I truly appreciate that all of the staff are familiar with all of the students as well. My daughter has come a really long way and I am happy that we decided to place her here after her last provider closed. She still favors the teachers from the two year old room but is pretty comfortable with all of them and knows their names. It makes it so much easier to leave her in their care.”
“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!!”
