📞 (816) 781-5942Missouri 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
I would not trust the current director Teresa Watson. She decides one route and then based on a "feeling" not facts, she will change her mind. She does not make decisions as a leader or steward of God. I would not want my children to be under leadership where God and her understanding of the Word of God is not her primary focus. She does not meet with individuals face to face either in the event of a conflict. Not an honest communicator.
