Grateful doesn't adequately capture our family's appreciation for Camp Jumpstart. Our daughter,…read morewho also struggles with an intellectual disability, was given an enormous gift this Summer -- the opportunity to reclaim her sense of self-worth and build life long healthy habits. She was a camper for eight weeks and her personal transformation was remarkable. She gained much more than the 23 pounds she lost -- confidence, discipline, new friends, a set of "tools", and a sunny outlook on life. She is committed to continuing-on with what she's learned at camp and we are supporting her by fully modeling and adopting the same lifestyle. Thank you Jean, Jeremy,,camp staff and counselors -- you are life savers. Jean - your good name is invoked regularly at the kitchen table. To anyone considering this camp: we found this to be a safe and exceptionally well-run organization. Important caveat: Jean expects full engagement not only from the campers but also from parents and siblings as well. That was a deep attraction for us!

Camp Jump Start is an absolute blessing to those that attend, as well as the families of the…read morecampers. We were feeling desperate and scared...we knew change had to happen for our daughter, truly for all of us in the family....and it needed to happen outside of our home. When we found Camp Jump Start we knew it was our solution. The environment of unyielding encouragement, focus on self awareness, positive emotional mantras and the ability to find resilience in herself has changed her. From the very first phone call after one week, we could hear the change in her voice....the hope in her words. It literally brought us to tears. She left camp after 4 weeks, having lost 20 lbs, but looking like she felt 100 lbs lighter, with a spirit of accomplishment that allowed her to know she could do "it"- whatever it was. Jean and her staff at Camp Jump Start truly care about making change, one child at a time. The mission is clear, unyielding, supportive and successful- in so many more ways than numbers on a scale. They have our continued support, gratefulness and recommendation.

My daughter was the only child for a few more months when we joined the Cadence family! We wanted…read moreto make sure she had a school schedule when baby came. From the first time I spoke with Angie, the assistant director, I could tell we would be taken good care of. I told her we were new to child care outside our family and that I would need some major encouragement along with my LO. They did not disappoint. Constant updates the first few weeks, hugs from staff when I was in tears dropping off in the morning with a screaming 3yo, and help with her eating new foods. Her teacher, Ms. Bre, is amazing!!! So patient and ready to help in any way she can. Gives our girl movies when needed and now my girl runs in to school with a smile and open arms for all of her friends! I prayed for a place like this for my kids and I'm so glad we are here!!

The teachers and staff are so loving and caring. Everyday, both of our children are engaged in age appropriate learning activities that include playing and sharing with others, reading books, as well as using exploration in learning centers. I can tell that each teacher takes the time to put together thoughtful lessons and fun learning activities. The teachers and staff are wonderful at communicating with us daily and do an excellent job at maintaining clean classrooms. I couldn't be happier with the care and education both of my children receive while in attendance.

My son was attending this school for almost two years. He had 4 different teachers in that time…read more None have raised any issues at all. When he was moved to the tiger room we basically received negative feedback from the teacher every other day. In the month and a half he was in the room we not one time received constructive or positive feedback we only received negative. My son was so afraid of the teacher that he basically had a meltdown when I tried to take him to the room. What 3 year old cries save me from the teacher if everything is normal in the room and it's running properly? That same day we took him out after we complained to the director who basically insulted my accent. The entire time we spoke to the director she talked at us not to us. She kept repeating a rehearsed speech they must have received training on. We took our son out of the school on March 3 and we had already paid for the entire month and summer program and they told us they would not refund any of the money. Finally after my husband called and spoke to the owner and requested copies of our sons file 2 days later they refunded the full payment amount. On the Indeed site their own staff has described a negative work environment. I always thought Goddard had a good reputation but this place in Arnold MO lacks a lot of things not to mention one of the directors needs diversity training ASAP as she appears to believe she is superior to all non native speakers of English.

He is well socialized, smart, and kind thanks to their lessons and care. My daughter is 7 and goes there before school and sometimes after as well as during her school breaks and summer vacation. She absolutely loves it. They do a great job keeping the school age kids busy and engaged. We have not encountered a teacher who hasn't made a difference in each of my kids' lives and the owner, and directors are just as amazing. We are truly blessed to send our kids into such a wonderful environment. You won't find a better place to send yours!

He loves it there and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They really work with the parents to make them feel like their kid is taken care of. My son had allergies when he started and they took it very seriously and I felt that he was safe when it came to the food he ate. Their frequent updates keep me at ease and it makes me so happy to see pictures of him playing and smiling. We had to take him out because I got a job in a new location and we were so sad to go. I highly recommend First Steps!
