~ LICENSE EXEMPT PROGRAM
License Exempt
Exempt from licensing

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.

Hillside Preschool is under new directorship for the 2014-2015 school year. The correct phone number is 636-343-5010. We offer a M,W,F session or a T,Th session for children ages 3-5. We have 2 classrooms that have been recently updated. Our curriculum includes themed centers, pre-reading and pre-math, fine and gross motor skills, music and movement, Jesus time, and more. We take 2 field trips, have 3 parties, offer parent teacher conferences, and sing in a spring program. It is a close and friendly community because of its small size and we welcome you to check us out anytime. Visit us on Facebook or at www.fentonumc.org!

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
