St. Louis Montessori and Childcare Center 5033 Northrup Avenue Gateway STEM High School, St. Louis, MO 63110

"I cannot say enough about Carri, Keith and everyone at St Louis Montessori. Both my kids have been with Carri since they were 6 weeks old. They are now 6 and 4 years old. As a full time working parent, Carri probably spent as much time raising my kids as me. I could not have picked a better person to share this responsibility with me. My kids are loving, smart, well adjusted children bc of Carri and St Louis Montessori. My daughter went to Kennard following her time at St Louis Montessori and she was wonderfully prepared and ready for all Kennard handed to her based on her time at St Louis Montessori. My son is a bit of a firecracker and communication about him and some of his behavior issues was great. They worked with me to handle and adjust to improve his time there. When he was upset or angry, they provided so much love and attention to him which he needs. We have since moved away from STL and had to find alternative daycare. I can say that nothing we have experienced remotely compares to the love, attention, and education we received while with Carri and St Louis Montessori."

"We love St Louis Montessori! They have been a home-away-from-home for both our littles, since they were 3 and 4 months old, respectively. Our son has just finished his kindergarten year in public school and he was well-prepared, well-socialized, polite, and confident, thanks in part to the curriculum and the love and support he received from the staff there. We'd recommend them, any day."

"I love this preschool. My family has moved a lot in the last couple years and my daughter has unfortunately been to 5 different daycares / preschools. The one thing in common with all of these facilities was that she would cry when dropped off and throughout the day. When my daughter started St. Louis Montessori her whole attitude towards school changed. It was the first time she looked forward to going to school. I drop her off and she runs toward her "work" saying, "bye momma!" When I pick her up from school she tells me how fun Yoga class was, or what she did in ballet, what words she heard in Spanish class , or tells me what type of "work" she did. St. Louis Montessori is NOT a daycare; it is a preschool. My daughter, while having a very fun time, is constantly challenged academically. Friends of mine are always impressed on how much she knows for her young age of 2.5. I honestly could not be happier with this school. I am so thankful to be part of the Saint Louis Montessori family."

"We had a phenomenal experience with St. Louis Montessori. In particular, Carri was a staple in the growth and development of both my girls. We were lucky to find a place with a familial environment where the staff always showed genuine care and concern with our kids. They recognized early high academic potential in both girls. Even when my children weren't perfect ... the delivery of the message was always kind and professional and fostered a voice of growth. The inclusion and harmony among the kids and parents made it a magical place. We enjoyed our time with them and continue to refer friends and family members. People ask me constantly who we used because they recall our positive experience. We love St. Louis Montessori!"
