I have to repost this because somehow my previous review was deleted by somebody…read more I do not post this review lightly or with malice but I feel as a parent I should make sure our experience is represented for others seeking to use this school. Our initial experience with the school was very positive. About 6 months after our start we had both teachers change in our classroom. We didn't think much of it as we were sold on the process and learning paths the school offered were the difference. Our newly 3 year old at this point started receive a lot more "feedback" on things going on at school. These were mostly things around not lining up when coming in from playground, not sitting down when told to during story time and having trouble coming in from outside playtime. Our initial thoughts were that this is something they would work on at school and we would reenforce at home....Then we got requests to come in for "parent teacher conferences" this is something we came in during work hours multiple times to do. We took on our part to try to reenforce lessons from home into school while they gave some activities they would do but we were never provided with any comprehensive plan or any real followup on how they were working in school to help "correct" her. All incidents through these months were all non-violent and only about not following exact instructions around when to lay down or go out. She is only 3 years old. After a few weeks they decided to start sending home a journal of every "incident" forcing the teachers to fill out this daily and checking in on us that we were reading it and bringing it home everyday. At this point they were just calling "leadership" every time she did something they did not like or she was not conforming to the current activity. We had been doing our best at home but these things were mostly happening at school. This came to a head a few months later as we did our best to meet these unrealistic expectations from the leadership of the school for a little human who was only 3 and doing her best to understand their very specific requirements. At this point she started becoming scared and sad to go to school and told us she had been hit by another kid. We brought these concerns to the school and were told that the hitting was "being handled". Once we made this compliant within a few weeks we had been told that suddenly her incidents were escalating and she was crying uncontrollably during activities that had been much easier before, nap, switching activities she wanted to continue and such. This was very out of character for us and we again made very strong complaints about how there had been no followup to the earlier incidents and no plan of action in the class or to her individually to help with this. I guess this was our mistake. After that we were told within a week that they intended to send her home for any incident that they considered disruptive, which they did one day later. So I started going to school 3 times a day to help checkin and make sure she understands what was expected for half a week. The first day I did not go in multiple times (after getting a glowing report from her teacher and positive input about her attitude) I was called and told to pick her up because she had another "incident". This was our last day. I am sure their brand of child education works for some but I put this review out to make sure parents who see these warning signs don't wait as long as we did. Don't have to have a child asking if they are "bad" and start apologizing almost constantly to us. She was put in a new school and after a week of the teachers there helping her get over this she was able to start accepting quiet time and safety rules around the playground with no problems. I want to be clear that we did like our new teachers and think they were doing the best they could. This was a complete failure of what they call their "leadership" team who seem to be more concerned with passing blame to us as the child than leading any efforts to find healthy resolutions to a 3 year old.

My kids eat better/healthier at school than at home for the kitchen makes everything fresh. They work hard to include all cultures and holidays. And as someone who has a lot of anxiety around storms and tornadoes their FEMA grade storm shelter means I know they are in the safest place and well taken care of. The front staff is beyond fantastic with names and faces. We had a family emergency and a family friend had to pick up as the other contacts we had were out of town. And though she had been there a few times and they still asked for her ID to verify what I told them they immediately recognized her. The peace of mind knowing my kids are in a place that is safe, clean, with staff that loves and cares for them is priceless.

If it's under five hours I believe it's $18 but don't quote me on that. Ms. Grace and Ms. Mindy are great with the preschool kids! Each day my child comes home with a report on how his day went and what they learned and did that day. They send art work and school papers home as well, which is something our old preschool usually didn't bother to send. Depending on what time your child is here, breakfast, lunch and a snack is provided. The building is clean and colorful. Both the rooms and the playground are set up according to age group. No chance for the big kids to fall on the babies! I highly recommend this place. If wasn't for kindergarten this fall I would bring my child here again!

The new leadership with Ms. Jesicca and Ms.Tiffany is super amazing. They listen and take action /provide feedback. They are making tangible improvements all around and are keen to keep only the best teachers. I like the realtime interaction with the teachers providing updates throughout the day. Special shout out to Ms.Chrissy, Ms.Tiffany, Ms.Jessica, so gracious Ms.Natalie, Mr.Stephen and really everyone here. I continue to pray for strength , wisdom, grace and discernment as you watch over all the kids. You do an amazing job, please keep it up. Ps. thank you for making the kids and us feel so at home and wanted when we came back after being away for a few months;that memory of how we were warmly received is stuck with me. 100% recommend this daycare!!

This is an excellent preschool! I have two kids who are currently enrolled (a 5 year old and a 3…read moreyear old), and I can't say enough good things about the teachers and administration. They truly care about the kids, and not only are they helping them reach developmental milestones, they are teaching them patience, empathy and kindness. We love seeing the skills they are developing at school and hearing their little voices sing the sweet songs they have learned. My son will be starting Kindergarten this year, and he passed all his screenings with flying colors, but he's also growing into a kind-hearted person. We know this is in-part because of the caring people who have been pouring into his life at Kid's Kingdom.

The teacher my son had was more than qualified and absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to make my son comfortable and work with him and his special needs. The management and the owner were not as willing to work with him on his needs.

I would recommend his particular teacher as a nanny or babysitter to anyone and everyone. Just not this facility or this Company.

Her reports are pretty much always accurate, and even if they weren't I understand that things happen and the curriculum is subjected to change. I think people putting a 1- star review on every single social media platform should be a tad more lenient, but that's just me. It's not like the teachers sit around and do nothing all day. Anyhow, my daughter has learned SO much since going here, and has improved on so many different levels- especially regarding listening, spelling, and reading. I also love how they incorporate learning through science and art projects every single day. Our whole family loves Goddard!

As of February 2017, our daughter has been going to the Creve Coeur Kindercare for nearly two…read moreyears, ever since she was 6 weeks old. Even after moving out to Ballwin, we've kept her at this same Kindercare location because of the bonds she's made with the other toddlers and her teachers. WHY WE CHOSE THIS LOCATION: When we were looking for daycare for our daughter, we did a lot of online research. Some of that research was looking up ratings for each place, like you're obviously doing now. Throughout the reading-up-on-reviews process, we kept in mind that negative reviews are often more common, as people with great things to say about places tend not to be very vocal on Yelp or Google. We also looked at data that's less subjective or disputable. What incidents were reported at the locations you're considering? Are they licensed? Are they accredited? (There's a good description of accreditation and why it matters here: http://www.kindercare.com/about-us/who-we-are/accreditation.) I encourage you to do as much research as you feel comfortable with. This is obviously an important decision. So, we saw that, at the time, the Creve Coeur Kindercare was licensed, accredited and even working toward a second accreditation (I think it has gotten it, too, since then). We saw it wasn't too far away from home, so that was nice. We visited a couple of other locations nearby and, to be honest, they seemed dirtier, or more chaotic, or less safe. That's partially where that accreditation comes in. The weekly rate did seem like a lot until we did more research and we saw that it was competitive with other daycares' rates. Yes, it is still a decent amount of money, but the safety and education of your child is worth it. And again, it's nowhere near the cost of Montessori school, for example. Plus, rates go down on your child's second and third birthdays. SAFETY & FOOD: [This section was deleted to save space. Please speak with the location for these details.] CURRICULUM: Each day, teachers will send home a report on your child's activities, what they learned and how they acted. It's really helpful to follow along for those parents who are interested. Our daughter has responded seemingly very well to their teaching style. Her communication skills are very advanced for a child her age, and she has really taken to learning as much as possible. Of course, it's hard to say if this is just our daughter or if this is Kindercare's doing, but I just had to brag on my little girl some, I guess! Again, when you visit, ask what the kids are learning at the time. They have lesson plans they follow, so the answer should be an easy one to get. Also, in case you're worried, they don't have TVs in the rooms, so they won't just be watching Barney all day. STAFF: Everyone has been wonderful to me. I like to stick around when I drop my daughter off and when I pick her up and talk to her teachers. I'll ask how she did, what her mood was, if she did anything (positive or negative) noteworthy. All the teachers have seemed invested in our daughter's care, education and growth. Some have decades of experience with professional childcare, even at Kindercare. Others are going to college to study it. The woman who previously managed the location was wonderful, but recently left to pursue an altogether different career. Her replacement is very kind, knowledgeable and vibrant and, while I'm no expert, she seems to be doing a fantastic job in the month or two since she started. BONUS: Once a month, on most months, the center will host a "Parents' Night Out" where, for an extra $15, they will feed and watch your child until 9. This is a wonderful way to have a built-in date night on the cheap, especially for people like us who don't have family close by to babysit on a regular basis. They also provide crackers for the ride home, which really come in handy with kids once they need snacks to keep them civil during car rides. There are plenty of smaller details, but this should cover the bulk of it. To be fair, this is the only daycare we have ever brought our daughter to, so we don't have any other experiences to compare Creve Coeur Kindercare with. But I'm just happy that my daughter is safe and learning everything she can in an environment that is well-suited to her. I hope this covers any questions you may have about the location. Good luck with your little one!
