This place is the best in Bridgeton, My children love it there.
Thai is by far the best daycare we have worked with! Quick to address individual needs and the lesson plans are amazing! I'm blown away how much my daughter is learning everyday. I feel at ease while at work and my daughter always has a lot to say about her day! Affordable childcare but most importantly quality! The staff is amazing,kind, and pays attention to details!
As soon as I met the owner and heard how she runs the daycare/preschool, I immediately signed up my three year old. I am so pleased with the loving learning environment that is provided at Dream Kids Achievers! My son is thriving with the daily activities structure and consistency provided. I’m thankful they are in my neighborhood!
The best childcare provider, in ST. Louis, MO. Very clean, great customer service, friendly, loving, excellent with children, the only childcare I would trust with my kids. Fabulous place to join. Keep up the great work
My 7 year twins have been with Dream Kids Achievers since they were 6 months old. Miss Crystal has taking care of my babies as if they were her own. She very professional, compassionate, passionate about what she does.My twins are now school age, but when they out school they have a safe place to go to while I'm at work. Strongly recommend Miss Crystal and her team.
Ms. Holland is exceptional! She is attentive, caring and nice.
