Reviews
Crouthers Academy is THE quintessential daycare/preschool. My son has been attending Crouthers for over 4 years, since he was 6 weeks old. As a full time working mother, finding the best school at fair pricing was my top priority. I have to say that Crouthers exceeded my expectations and hopes.
The staff is caring, attentive, interactive, and you can tell they truly care about the children. I have no doubt that this is because they learn from the top down. Leslie Crouthers, the owner, is very involved with both the Chesterfield and the Eureka locations. She is hands on, has been in the child care and school industry for decades, has two daughters of her own, and is a genuinely good soul with a child's best interests at the forefront of every decision.
I am blessed and honored to be able to have let my son attend this amazing school for so long. It will be hard when he graduates next year to go to Kindergarten. But I know that he will be prepared and ready thank to Crouthers exceptional teaching staff and dedication.
