📞 (636) 528-4148Missouri 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 worked here for over a year and left due to management being absolutely horrible. Majority of the teachers there are fantastic there, but if you are looking for a preschool that has a great director look somewhere else. She belittles her employees, and the children. Not somewhere I would ever put my children, or work again. If I could give it only one star I would.
