    Harper School is the best choice my husband and I made for our kids' preschool education!! Our…read moredaughters began when they were 3- and 4 year old respectively and despite English is not their first language, we are impressed how quickly our kids learned their alphabets, counting forward and backward, and holding a pencil! Our 4 year old daughter learned to write her name within 2-3 weeks starting at Harper! Our 3 year old daughter resisted our attempts to teach her how to properly hold a pencil at home but Harper was able to accomplish this! Harper serves a lot of physician and health care professional families working nearby at MoBap and Mercy, so they are less likely to cancel school days (for snow) compared to the local public schools. The heads of school surprisingly know the students very well, they are both very involved in all the classrooms with all the students and teachers, and also have a personal connection with the families, which contributes to an inclusive, warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment. Even though English is not our children's first language, Harper miraculously over came their language barrier to help our daughters feel loved and included and drops off became happier and less tearful. Harper undoubtedly has a strong and successful academic curriculum but most impressive is their cohesive and nurturing environment because our kids feel safe, loved, and seen. Thank you Harper!!

Both of my children have been given good structure and education, and the school provides great feedback on things we can work on so that our children are getting consistency. It is not just a daycare but an excellent preschool. The app is very user-friendly and the teachers do a great job posting pictures - grandparents are also very pleased! My wife and I have found the Kiddie Academy administration great to work with, as well. With COVID they have done a great job with sanitizing and changing protocols, and have been very responsive. We could not be happier.

    This is a review for prospective parents for the infant room only…read more My husband and I toured this facility to see the infant room 4 months before our due date. We met with the academy director, Gina, and she gave us an impressive tour. Their curriculum is impressive and their emphasis on education and cleanliness of the school had us hooked. At the end of the visit, we asked about the possibility of enrolling our child. She said there was a waiting list, yet there was still space available for our daughter. She said it was "highly likely" we would be able to get a space. We asked her specifically how many people were on the list, and she wouldn't give us an answer or check, she just said that if we paid a deposit fee we had a " great chance" of getting a space. A few weeks later, we received an email saying that unfortunately many parents with already enrolled students got priority before us (perfectly understanable) and that we were waitlisted for the infant room for over a year! I immediately called the school as I was shocked that the change was day and night from what the director had told us, and her assistant answered. Turns out there were 38 people in front of is on their waiting list to begin with, and that the possibility of us ever getting a space in the first place was minimal. As a working pregnant woman, this situation really stressed me out. When I asked the school about the possibility of getting her enrolled after waiting a year, the assistant said it wasn't likely and that the wait was now actually over two years! I asked if I could get my deposit refunded because there was such a high discrepancy between what we were told at the time we paid and what we were being told now. She said absolutely not. I asked for Gina, the director to call us, and I am still waiting on that call. Worst customer service ever! Unless you have a child already enrolled, I would place a deposit at another school as a back up.

Both myself and my father attended Lucky Lane, so the decision to send my daughter there was a no-brainer. The staff at Lucky Lane is great. The teachers are all so kind and the director, Carly, is easy to work with. One of the most unique things about Lucky Lane is their flexible scheduling. It really makes a huge difference to my family, and I have not encountered another school that offers anything like it. My daughter has learned so much there. She always comes home singing new songs from music class, with new books form the library, or with stories about playing with her friends outside or in the wheel-toy room. She is always excited to go to school in the morning, which makes dropping her off each morning a breeze. I simply can't say enough great things about Lucky Lane!

There are multiple playgrounds and lots of outdoor space to run and play which my son loves. We also love that Lucky Lane feels like a real school and fosters independence - the kids get to move throughout the school and experience multiple environments from thier regular classroom to the onsite STEM room, library, music room, and large indoor wheel-toy room. They even teach the kids French! We love Lucky Lane :)

There are numerous options in…read morethe St. Louis but if you are looking for a safe, clean and caring environment definitely pay HOPE Montessori in Creve Coeur a visit. The facilities are excellent and Susie Shelton-Dodge is the Headmistress and is wonderful and very approachable. They do have before and after school care which is included in tuition. They participate in numerous field trips. The menu in the cafeteria also has very healthy items. The summer camp is also wonderful with numerous fun activities but my favorite part of summer camp is the swimming lessons. They do have a very nice swimming pool on campus (fenced) and teach swimming every day during the summer. Lessons are dependent on ability and age. There is even parent observation day at the end of the summer. No this place isn't cheap but well worth the money. Overall my favorite aspects: 1) Before and after school care 2) Summer camp swimming lessons 3) Small class sizes 4) Safe, diverse and comfortable environment

    Our experience started ok. Our son did pretty well but eventually started sharing how some kids…read morepicked on him. These kids tended to be from affluent families and made fun of his clothes or shoes. There became more concerning issues when one child was being threatening towards the children in the class. When we expressed concern the teacher became defensive of the other child and it became very uncomfortable after we had built what I thought was a good report. I found out later that the teacher was close with the other family and even went on a ski trip with them. The director also showed little concern for these more serious issues. I also had to address the fact that my daughters class never washed with soap and water but used hand sanitizer instead. Both of my kids would express that the wrong kids were often disciplined and others got away with whatever they wanted. Every day I asked them how school was and they had nothing good to report sadly. It was hugely disappointing for the amount of money spent there.

    If you are looking for a preschool, you must put Lab School on your list…read more I am blessed to teach music at this amazing school that is so supportive of the music program. We get to sing and move and groove to the music as we explore the beat with streamers, scarves, bells, drums, etc. We even use some early orff instruments. We offer and believe in the benefits and many gifts of music. Educationally, the Lab School provides a wonderful learning environment. There is an atmosphere of caring love and energy. They believe in the unique worth of each child while also teaching respect for others and encouraging social development. The children are happy. It is play-based learning -constructivism. No worksheets or rote learning or color-by-number. I'm always impressed by the wonderful staff and the families who care enough to choose to come to this school. The longevity of the teachers and the fact that some families are 3rd generation Lab School attendees speaks volumes.

What…read moremakes it really special are the teachers, who are there because they love what they're doing, they love the kids and they love the Lord. These kids are challenged, held to high standards, and lovingly mentored by the staff as well as students in the upper grades. The kids get the benefit of a beautiful, spacious facility with windows in every room and a gorgeous sanctuary in which to have chapel every week. Starting as early as Kindergarten, they get to take Spanish, music, art, PE and library. For the upper grades and middle school there is an abundance of exploratory classes, a computer lab, supervised social activities, a worship band and a low student: teacher ratio to enrich learning and relationships. Compared to other similar schools in the area, it's also an outstanding value for your money. We've been very happy with our children's experience at TOCS and I would encourage anyone looking for Christian education to call or visit!
