St. Louis Montessori and Childcare Center

I cannot say enough about Carri, Keith and everyone at St Louis Montessori. Both my kids have been with Carri since they were 6 weeks old. They are now 6 and 4 years old. As a full time working parent, Carri probably spent as much time raising my kids as me. I could not have picked a better person to share this responsibility with me. My kids are loving, smart, well adjusted children bc of Carri and St Louis Montessori. My daughter went to Kennard following her time at St Louis Montessori and she was wonderfully prepared and ready for all Kennard handed to her based on her time at St Louis Montessori. My son is a bit of a firecracker and communication about him and some of his behavior issues was great. They worked with me to handle and adjust to improve his time there. When he was upset or angry, they provided so much love and attention to him which he needs. We have since moved away from STL and had to find alternative daycare. I can say that nothing we have experienced remotely compares to the love, attention, and education we received while with Carri and St Louis Montessori.

We love St Louis Montessori! They have been a home-away-from-home for both our littles, since they were 3 and 4 months old, respectively. Our son has just finished his kindergarten year in public school and he was well-prepared, well-socialized, polite, and confident, thanks in part to the curriculum and the love and support he received from the staff there. We'd recommend them, any day.

I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for this school. Oh my gosh, I LOVE the teachers and staff. My eldest son is a late talker. We had him in speech therapy for almost a year before starting in the preschool room and he couldn't/didn't say more than a few words. They got him to talk AND SING! They met him where he was and helped him blossom. I can't tell you what it's like to wait years, literally, worrying that you will never hear your child speak and then with in a few months have him start singing and saying 'I love you.' He had a rough transition but they worked with him. Comforted him. Even loved on him to help him adjust. They were so great with our big boy that I begged them to take our youngest before he was born. I honestly can't say enough about how much I love this school. They are like family. I'm already dreading my kids becoming school aged because we'll have to leave this warm wonderful place. They offer dance, gymnastics, Spanish, and yoga in addition to a Montessori based curriculum. Great school, great staff, great place. 😊

So glad we found this school. It has not only benefited our daughter, but our entire family. Our family enjoys listening to her and watching her count, recite her ABCs, and organizing items into like groups. I am always a proud father when others comment on the degree of her development, both intellectually and emotionally. She is challenged academically and thrives in the environment provided by St. Louis Montessori.

I love this preschool. My family has moved a lot in the last couple years and my daughter has unfortunately been to 5 different daycares / preschools. The one thing in common with all of these facilities was that she would cry when dropped off and throughout the day. When my daughter started St. Louis Montessori her whole attitude towards school changed. It was the first time she looked forward to going to school. I drop her off and she runs toward her "work" saying, "bye momma!" When I pick her up from school she tells me how fun Yoga class was, or what she did in ballet, what words she heard in Spanish class , or tells me what type of "work" she did. St. Louis Montessori is NOT a daycare; it is a preschool. My daughter, while having a very fun time, is constantly challenged academically. Friends of mine are always impressed on how much she knows for her young age of 2.5. I honestly could not be happier with this school. I am so thankful to be part of the Saint Louis Montessori family.

Originally we found St Louis Montessori by luck. We came from out of the country and didn't know a single person in St Louis. Keith, Carri and all of the teachers have become like family to my daughter. She loves coming to school. This is a place of learning and education as well as childcare.
