    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!!

    We send our 3 year old here and I am very grateful for the teachers and head of school. They are…read moreprofessional and have a sincere love for kids. They are also interested in making sure your kids are learning. I was at first hesitant to transfer schools due to his food allergies but they have kept him all safe!!!

    I am so excited for my son to start at this nursery school next year. They operate like a school,…read moreso have a fall, spring, and optional summer semester. Ages 2-kindergarten. The school is gorgeous inside and out. It is built on 11 acres of land with a stream running through it and hills for sledding in the winter. Inside is very clean, up to date, and child safe/friendly. I spoke to Ilya, the school head, and he assured that the furniture, from what I remember was mostly wood, is non toxic and finished with non toxic coating. I do not remember seeing a single piece of plastic, which brought me peace of mind that my son would not be exposed to the unregulated chemicals in toys. In fact, the school has no toys. It is Emilia Reggio based, which capitalizes on the learning and creativity of the students. If they want to play with a truck, they have to make one... what fun! They eat locally sourced organic food, and use stainless steel bowls to eat out of, which is non toxic and durable. They pride themselves on getting outdoors every day, and they even "camp out" on Fridays. They learn about community and working with others, and the school really seems to focus on growing the whole child, not just grooming them academically. Ilya seem really passionate and knowledgeable about education. His wife, a teacher at the school, did Teach for America and although I did not meet her, sounds like this is a true passion of hers as well. It is their goal to stay on top of the best ways to help raise and educate the children of today, and being the only true Reggio Emilia school in St Louis, they are leading the way to a more progressive and influential way of teaching our children!
