Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services lists this provider as LICENSE EXEMPT PROGRAM, so it does not hold a child care license. Providers in this category are exempt from state licensing requirements, which means they are not inspected or monitored the way licensed providers are. Ask the provider what oversight it does operate under, and check with Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services before enrolling.
Reviews
Horrible! I do not recommend at all! My daughter has come home with bruises and has told me that the staff members are very mean and yell and curse at them. NEVER let your kids go here! I even confronted a staff member about this and the individual was very standoffish and even cursed at me.
I thought this was a great day care. Always suggesting it to people looking for some place new! Staff is very friendly and the kids love it!
Not a very christian atmosphere or staff at all!
