I highly recommend A Place for Children in Kirkwood. Our daughter has gone there since she was 12 weeks old and seems very happy there. Gail, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming from the start, and she runs a wonderful program for infants. My daughter smiles when she sees Gail every morning! Gail makes a point to greet each family personally, and you can tell that she truly cares about each child and remembers details about each one's day. We found A Place for Children after checking out all the larger daycare centers, and and it was a relief to find a quality option for daycare that didn't have a year-plus waiting list. If you're looking for childcare in the Kirkwood area, definitely check them out!
