In February, our world turned upside down with a text that our daycare was closing in three days…read more We had no plan, no back-ups, no hope, and I started frantically calling around for options that were reputable with immediate openings. Cris had shared with us her incredible experience at LSP with her daughters, and I crossed my fingers. LSP on Chestnut literally saved us from a terrible situation and had a spot for Evelyn starting in three days. But LSP was so much more than daycare. It was a place where Evelyn was loved and cared for by people who really loved her. In the six months she's been at LSP, she's thrived. She's grown her vocabulary, developed so many skills, became obsessed with babies and purses and uses sign language at home. Every scratch, reported. Every snack, documented. Every activity, photographed. The communication eases my anxiety every single day as a working mama. But she has received the best childcare experience at LSP. Ms. Julie, Ms. Anna, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Claudette, Ms. Stephanie, they've all be wonderful and cared so deeply about our daughter's health and happiness. I'm so thankful for LSP!

My son has been coming here for the last year and a half almost 2 years and both he and I love LSP!…read moreThe curriculum is great, classroom sizes are just the right size, the teachers and staff are great-Ms. Nicole is the latest addition and she is just a day of sunshine! Every month there is a different theme and it gets explored everyday in different ways. I really enjoy and appreciate the daily picture and text updates on how my son is doing. This place is really top-notch!

Kids First is an amazing program that our family was sad to graduate from. My daughter is now in…read moresecond grade and I thought her memories of preschool would fade, but she still reminisces about her time at Kids First and how much fun she had. She has been well prepared for school and finds she previously studied many of the topics in pre-K in a creative and fun mannor that helped her remember the information. We miss Leah and all of the teachers. We were lucky to find such a wonderful place to start for our daughter's educational journey.

I have had nothing but problems with this daycare receiving my communication and expectations when…read moreit comes to my son. He has been sick numerous times since starting here back last October. After a complaint was filed with the health department due to not reporting illnesses as well as reporting illnesses to parents they are under investigation for telling parents a sliver of the truth from the health department or make up blatant lies because it's what Neena, the owner, would prefer. Not the actual guidelines. My son had been bitten five times in three months with nothing being done to fix this issue. Apparently it's been "five different children" but I was also told my child is not causing any issues at daycare. After talking with Neena and trying to find a solution another report was made to the state and an investigation was started. Once Neena found out that the report came from me she called me and disenrolled my son from daycare because her feelings were hurt she got caught not taking the proper protocols and procedures in order to protect the child she has at her daycare. She makes it painfully obvious her biggest concern is money, not the children. My son had gotten hand foot and mouth twice, pink eye, multiple GI issues, the flu, and other sickness like colds and such. I cannot stress enough how this daycare will not be respectful of your children or the cleanliness of their building considering how often children get sick and sent home.

My son went there for about a year and he's been sent home multiple times for no reason they said…read morehe had a severe rash and staff infection which turned out to be a diaper rash and a tiny pimple on his lower thigh and he got sent home everytime he farts and coughs. The nurses at the DR office even laughed at our faces and said he didn't need to come in and even recommended us different daycares. Then yesterday neena jumped out in front of my girlfriends moving car with my 1 year old son in her hands to stop her from leaving cuz they had a disagreement on how she runs the daycare. Then threw him at her when she got out the car and told her she's not allowed back. Isn't that ENDANGERMENT!!!

I am so thankful for this daycare! Mrs. Gwen and Ms. Mak in the infant classroom have been amazing…read moreand I have been able to return to work without worrying about my child because of them. They are so attentive to my child's needs even in a full classroom and have been able to maintain a normal schedule as if my child were at home with me. I love getting pictures of my child throughout the day and they even do some cute crafts in the infant classroom which are so special and fun to keep! We love this daycare and its teachers!

We feel so blessed to have our child attending Little Sunshine's on Chestnut. Our child has been…read morethere for about 14 months, and we couldn't be happier. Each teacher we've had has cared so much for them and takes care of them as they are one of their own. Our child has learned more than I could ever teach them in the year attending there and drop off is a breeze every day. The curriculum for even the infant class is wonderful and they send you home with art projects every week. The playground has just been completely remodeled as well. I'm not sure you'll find a better place to help take care of your babies - going back to work was hard, but I felt at peace knowing how well they were looking after them.

Ive been a "Bear" here and there. Ive been a "Bear"…read moreExtraordinaire. Ive had classes morning, noon & night. Ive had classes that just aren't right. Ive had professors so profound The most intense in this town. Ive had professors so so kind, Ive had professors out of their mind. All in all, I've seen it all. And with all this at fate, I still can not graduate.....:( sad-face

Missouri State University sucks when it comes to help international students solve their problems…read more I have been an International Student here for so long and they have never helped me solving any situation. I tried to talk to many people in order to solve my situation but none helped me at all. I went to the presidents office and I was not able to talk to him because he does not take care of students unless you fill out a form online. So do not waste your time trying to go to his office to talk to him and neither to try to find a solution because the lady at front desk told me that he doesn't do that. Supposedly you have to talk to other people to find a solution to your problems but none does it and neither the president Clif. Whenever you call to the international department none is available to help you because they are either out of the office or because they only work from home, except for the front desk students that answer the phone but can not give you a solution for anything. They are all pointing fingers instead of helping you find a solution to your problems. Just let me mention that I have been having this problem going on for 2 semesters so I don't know why they are so negligent i don't know if I should call it an act of racism or discrimination. WORST UNIVERSITY I HAVE EVER BEEN AND SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE.

Grew up in a traditional baptist church, where the worship service was hymns, piano, organ and some…read morestring instruments and of course preaching from the word of God. We have been attending this church for about a year now. The pastor when we started, was temporary until they found a permanent one, which they finally found one a few weeks ago. The problem is the "Worship Service" and it's gotten worse. The bible tells us to be separate from the world. What a slippery slope the churches today entertain with drums, guitars and the backup singers and dancers on stage. Doesn't feel like church and certainly doesn't make you feel like your worshiping. We walked out during the worship service today and won't be back. Hopefully there is a church out there that has remained steadfast with the bible. The bible doesn't change.....

Our kids have been attending LSP - Cardinal for three years. We have been in several classrooms and…read morewith several teachers. Across all classrooms the friendliness of the staff, and quality of the childcare has been consistent. The environment is safe (lots of precautions are in place) and transparent to parents. It is not the cheapest option around, but it is within the parameters of what I would consider reasonably priced, and I believe it's a good value for the services received. My kids have made many friendships there which is a huge parent bonus.
