I am the lead teacher for the clubhouse, and I provide a fun, engaging, educational environment for my school agers to learn and grow. I enjoy having a child-centered classroom, where the children are able to choose the activities they want to engage in. I provide the students with activities including air dry clay, perler beads, rubber bands, and playing the Wii on days off. After school the students work on homework and reading. If I am not available to help them, Alex does an awesome job working with the students to help them finish their homework. During days off, I work on planning engaging short lessons that focus on Kindness. The month of November we are taking part of the You Matter Marathon. We provide a educational spring break and summer camp and travel around to different areas of St. Louis for field trips. As the before and aftercare teacher I have been fortunate to meet all the wonderful families and children of the Cadence Academy preschool family and love getting know new children as they come in. I have the opportunity to be at both buildings to help out where I can.

Overrated and over priced. This school has made a turn for the worse. The current director only…read morecares about her image. She does not do anything to help out the staff or the children. She has left a single teacher with 17 four year olds when the ratio is 1:10 (Missouri law) for hours... WHILE THE DIRECTOR AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR DID NOTHING. Both were fully aware of the situation and they both were able to stop what they were doing to help. The place is a revolving door or teachers. Please don't take your children here. Keep them happy and safe.

Most of the teachers are great there and the families are too. They will get mad I am posting, but…read moreidc as you got to stand up for what you believe in. I will miss all the parents most and the children were a blessing to have. You gotta stand up as freedom of speech to express your concerns! I would look into other childcare for infants! When a lead teacher isn't following the rules and doing things she shouldn't be doing, then she should be let go. Feeding infants whatever they want due to not having any baby food of their own is unacceptable or feeding a child a homemade drink smoothie is unacceptable! Feeding a child in a bouncer seat instead of holding them while the infant was gagging to take a breath is unacceptable. If there is more then one child that needs to be fed the lead teacher should have called as ask for help. It is sooooo sad when you report a person of doing these things and they don't get fired, but instead you get let go for no reason as the director was very unfair! She only wants to be a director at a daycare place I hear from the other teachers due to being with her children and one on the way, so she doesn't have to pay a lot in daycare herself. She favors a lot of her other employees and doesn't care about the ones that does a great job or follows bye state rules. There are teachers in there that don't talk appropriately to the children and they don't get in trouble. It is sad that this childcare is not updated with good toys for children to use or play with for age appropriate stuff. The outside needs to be better fixed up like most places are today. There is teachers that constantly let children go bare feet in classrooms and they don't encourage the child to put on his shoes while he could hurt his foot without wearing shoes. I seen a teacher grab a child arm as set them down that way. They let men to do there web sites and let a man in there that is dating one of the lead teachers, which is inappropriate for the children. They have a Assistant Director's husband be a maintenance guy to work there as well, which is weird! They all sit in office playing around as talking most of the time or being on there phones as Facebook, which is dumb for a business! The children eat off the floor as seen it with my eyes as some teachers are to lazy to clean the food up off the floor. Lastly, it is sad that a lead teacher can raise her tone of voice at you in front of all the children too and make the children feel uncomfortable, but again she doesn't get in trouble. I pray that this childcare gets better run right and pray for those children that needs to be better monitored bye people that really knows how to do a great job especially for the infants sake! Working in a childcare facility for 6+ years myself and taking college courses on it I know the rules of the state. Working as a parent I know how to be a great person with taking lots of classes too. Director tells me yeah just being older then some of us doesn't make you better knowledgeable.....ummmm, ok (laughing, yeah, I know day cares as state rules which I follow unlike you or some of the teachers). Being in a medical field I know how to take care of anyone and what I seen at this place I would never let some young person that doesn't know how to take care of infants be a lead teacher. Just because you come all the way here from another state doesn't mean it is ok to work as a lead teacher as your degree you have is not always acceptable to fill that roll. If you were just a teacher assistant in the elementary education at a school where you live as not fully finish your degree doesn't make it ok to fill a spot as a lead teacher that hasn't worked with any infants before. If a person has associates degree as worked in many facilities as took college courses on early education it does qualify a person to get paid more or fill a role to be a lead teacher in a daycare. Read or talk to state officials as sad a director doesn't know her state stuff. It is sad that a director tells you that you did right bye coming to us, then they let you go for no reason!!!! She should be let go of her job as doing what she did. Poor management and feel sorry for the owner as director always talks bad about her. The director also always way to many people to stay as get overtime on the owner, so she has to pay them more. She had way to many people one day in the one year old room due to biting and the children haven't bitten anyone in a long time, but made teachers stay within not being in ratio. Place is a joke and shouldn't get fired for making right choices or caring for children in a respectful right way with the laws! Director is a fake joke as she talks about some of those parents behind there back. The owner needs to be at the daycare facility as spend a whole day to watch these girls and director. Very sad as well I just hit my 90 day mark and they don't wanna pay me for any of my benefits either.

EDIT: We requested a meeting with the Operations Director (Gina) on Friday that was unfortunately…read morecancelled due to her being sick. We were looking forward to at least hearing their stance on the issue and trying to come to a resolution. Instead, we were contacted by someone completely unrelated to the O'fallon location and they asked for clarification regarding this review. It was then decided we would have a meeting with that person because Gina was still ill. Long story short, our son is no longer enrolled at Kiddie Academy because of the unprofessionalism shown by Chassidy and Lindsey (director and assistant director) and their inability to supervise or even communicate with parents regarding their children. After we requested a refund for the month of November we started getting the run around, even though our son never attended a single day in November. They kept saying they "abide by the state minimum" and I don't know about everyone else here but but when it comes to my children and especially for what they charge I don't expect the minimum anything. If you truly love your children I urge you to think twice before enrolling in Kiddie Academy. Original Review: My youngest son has been attending Kiddie Academy O'fallon for a while now. Today marks the 3rd time in less than 2 months he's gotten bit while in their care. The school refuses to address the problems or give us an action plan as to what is being done about it. When brought to the schools attention their resolution was "well you can always pull your child from the school" Beware: if you don't want your children being bit find somewhere else to send them.
