Schools near Ellisville, MO

“The facility is incredibly nice and new, but even better is the staff. The staff work extremely hard here- the lady at the front desk is there from before 6am to after 6:30pm everyday, and she is always kind. I've also seen teachers cleaning the rooms at the end of the day, while they have toddlers still that they are taking care of. Whatever CDLC is paying these saints isn't enough. I'm incredibly thankful for the staff nurturing my toddler throughout her tantrums- I hope they feel appreciated.”

“If I could give Chesterfield Academy 10 stars I would! This was the first preschool my oldest daughter attended and she absolutely thrived! The teachers challenged her and nurtured her growth everyday, she made amazing friends and even the fellow parents were so kind and welcoming. Our daughter came home every day and talked about how much fun she had with her favorite teachers and best friends. The upper level management and staff was always kind, addressed any concerns we had and accommodated to us every opportunity they could. We even asked about doing a few individual “drop-in” days with our infant and they welcomed her with open arms. I always felt like my children were safe and well cared for at Chesterfield Academy. If I could have picked up the school and moved it to Ohio with our family I would have because they are unmatched and I recommend everyone send their children there!”

“I cannot say enough GREAT things about Primrose! We first put our child in daycare at 17 months old when I went back to work. We only had a few weeks to find daycare which proved very difficult given the waitlists for nearly every place we toured. Primrose was full at the time so we went with a different option. Five months later we found ourselves needing to make a switch and I am eternally grateful that Primrose had an opening! The difference from the previous daycare to what we have now is like night and day. We have had nothing but positive experiences with the staff even when a concern did arise. We sat down and talked it through and I was even more impressed in that moment with their transparency and leadership. Our child loves going to school every day - the meals are delicious and healthy, the curriculum is intentional and age-appropriate, and the support from his amazing teachers and staff is palpable. Plus, they offer so many community events that are fun and a great way to connect with other families there! I can't imagine that teaching a class full of toddlers is easy but the teachers at Primrose sure do make it easy to see that they love and support each of their students every day. It's a great feeling to leave our child there and have peace of mind wash over you. You should settle for nothing less when leaving your most precious gift in the hands of others.”

“We LOVE the Goddard school in Manchester! It is a clean, fun & nurturing environment with a GREAT sense of community. There are tons of events to meet other families and celebrate your child.For young children, it’s quite $$ but- there are no hidden fees and EVERYTHING extra (activities and school events) is included.”

“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!”

“Everyone is very friendly and kind. All of the staff know my daughter's name (including the food service staff) and are very welcoming each day. We absolutely love her teacher Miss Katie! Our daughter is always excited when we tell her it's time to go to school which makes us feel better and reassured that we have picked the right place to care for her while we work. Kiddie Academy feels like a second family to us.”

“Very professional , kind, and welcoming . Very safe for children. My child is always happy to go to school.Teachers are talented, caring , and very creative. The level of teaching is amazing which is focused of many subjects including science. I love this preschool and I will highly recommend it.”

“Goddard chesterfield school is a great place to work and enjoy my coworkers. I enjoy the administration team too. They really care for their teachers and the children that go there. I enjoy working with my kiddos in my class.”

“My granddaughter goes here and she is under 1 year old. She gets the best care from the teachers and she is learning so much. The teachers really are dedicated to helping these children meet their milestones and teaching through play and discovery. The app is a great tool to see what she is doing and how she is doing. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. This is a great school and so happy to have found it.”

“The staff at Crouthers is like an extension of our family!We have been with the school for almost 6 years now and couldn't be happier. Our Son moved to Crouthers (from an in-home daycare) when he turned two. To this day we still say that was one of the best decisions we ever made. He started Kindergarten with a noticeable advantage over the rest of his class.Fast forward 4 years and, when our daughter was born, there wasn't a doubt that she would attend Crouthers as well. Not only that, our nephews started attending (all of the way from Kirkwood) when my Sister heard me raving about how much we love our Crouthers family.Leaving your kids in someone else's care is one of the hardest things to do as a parent. However, Crouthers has made being a working Mom so much easier.”

“This is a very beautiful location although I was told at the Creve Coeur location was much prettier or better in the locker room. If you have United healthcare you have a free membership although I do not so for me it would cost about 100 bucks a month or I think it's $89 a month which is expensive for me. The facility is very clean and I would definitely recommend it if you have the money but for me I'll have to look elsewhere, although they gave me two free passes to come and check out the facility which was very nice of them.”

“Our experience as a family with Kiddie Academy Chesterfield has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff's incredible patience has made our son's transition into the new environment seamless and heartwarming. Their commitment to creating a great space for children is truly commendable.The smiles on the faces of the staff are infectious and reflect genuine care and enthusiasm. It's evident that they not only love what they do but also deeply care for the children under their watch. Their positive energy creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts both kids and parents at ease.We appreciate the extra effort they put into ensuring our son feels comfortable and secure. From personalized attention to a sense of belonging, they've gone above and beyond our expectations. It's reassuring to know that our little one is in the hands of such dedicated and caring professionals.If you're looking for a daycare where your child will not only learn and grow but also receive genuine love and support, I recommend this daycare with my eyes closed, no doubt. This place is a true gem!”

“Both of my kids really enjoy EC. They love their teachers, their friends, the staff and all of the fun activities during the school year and over summer. Additionally, the teachers and staff have been so supportive over the years as I have navigated some of the challenges that parenthood brings. There have been some changes, but at the end of the day, my kids are still happy and they foster a nice sense of community and care for the kids.”

“Ms. Alicia and the ladies in Infant 1 and 2 have been outstanding in the few months that my child has been attending Cadence. The level of care they offer is like having a loving family member step in to watch your little one. They have been so gracious and understanding to me and my husband as first time parents, explaining and empathizing with any concerns or questions we have. I can tell that my son truly enjoys his time there. They utilize an app where they can send you pictures and updates throughout the day, and I like that Ms. Alicia checks in on her teachers to make sure their needs are met - and she's always ready to step in and help, which I love about her! She is also on top of her game with making sure the emergency drills are practiced and current.Thank you, ladies, for all that you do!”

“Raintree School is everything we wanted for our son. We're starting our second year for our now three year old, and I couldn't imagine taking him anywhere else. From the communication with admin staff, how amazing his teachers are, and the community that Raintree builds for not only their students but for the families who attend - Raintree School is something truly special. They nurture a love and respect for nature, empathy, kindness and a curiosity that is so amazing to watch grow in your own child. We're immensely glad that we found Raintree School!”

“There are so many good things to tell about this place. My kid has been here for a year and she loves it. Everyone cares for her and she greets all teachers and staff by their name. I think this shows how much they are connected with her. I appreciate that they teach age appropriate subjects in a fun environment without relying on kids using screens like tablets. Also, communication through the app with the details of her day and access to cameras is very reassuring to me. Thank you La Petite Academy of Fenton!”

“We had a really great experience sending our 4 month old here, I felt like he was safe and happy and I would recommend to others

The infant teachers really listen and accommodate any special notes or instructions you may have. They give detailed feedback on how the day was and send you pictures on an app.

They introduce him to other teachers so everyone knows him. When he was getting ready to transition to the bigger class they gave him days in both classrooms so he could get used to it.

The facilities is always very clean and every room is super spacious and filled with toys.

For the older kids there is a big gross motor room, a big playground, and there are always themes/events/fun activities going on.”

“I can't say enough good things about this place and these people. I've never used a daycare before and was apprehensive, but Julie was very accommodating and let my wife bring in our 2 year old son for a couple play dates to see if we liked it first. Every member of the staff is professional and kind. Every day I get updates of what my son eats for meals and snacks, nap times, and pictures of my son doing enrichment activities like painting, counting, and learning about life. The pictures are my favorite! I can't recommend this place enough.”
