Crouthers Academy

"The staff at Crouthers is like an extension of our family! We have been with the school for almost 6 years now and couldn't be happier. Our Son moved to Crouthers (from an in-home daycare) when he turned two. To this day we still say that was one of the best decisions we ever made. He started Kindergarten with a noticeable advantage over the rest of his class. Fast forward 4 years and, when our daughter was born, there wasn't a doubt that she would attend Crouthers as well. Not only that, our nephews started attending (all of the way from Kirkwood) when my Sister heard me raving about how much we love our Crouthers family. Leaving your kids in someone else's care is one of the hardest things to do as a parent. However, Crouthers has made being a working Mom so much easier."

"We couldn’t feel luckier we found this school 3 years ago. It provides the best combination of learning and fun. Our oldest is going into kindergarten and is incredibly prepared both academically and socially. Both of our girls have had the best teachers. I’ll be so sad when our youngest graduates and we no longer get to see our favorite people at Crouthers! The best school!"

"I can’t say enough great things about Crouthers Academy. We have had all three of our children there since 2019 who are treated by staff like their own. The owner and both directors are extremely hands on, and always welcoming with a smiling face. Each of the teachers my children have had have been amazing, and always communicating via Brightwheel app and in person. Finding somewhere you feel your children are safe and loved is so important when choosing a daycare. Crouthers is so much more than just a daycare, it’s a family."

"We have 2 kids at Crouthers and have been there since 2019. Even with the challenges of staffing and the pains during COVID, they always found a way to make it work and never at the expense of our children’s safety or education. I am so pleased with their curriculum and feel the do a great job at each age level. They also have the best summer-fun calendar! I also appreciate the information in the Brightwheel app so we can keep up with our kid’s days while we are busy at work. Shannon & Taylor do an excellent job leading the charge and the owner, Leslie, is always available if needed. My older child has been there almost 4 years and has made the best pals that we’ve been able to extend friendship with outside of school. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crouthers in Chesterfield to anyone looking for a great daycare/preschool for your children. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to send our children there."

"My husband and I are first-time parents and new to St. Louis, so finding excellent childcare was tough. Luckily, we found a spot at Crouthers, and even though it’s a 30 minute + commute, we’re here to stay because we are delighted with the care our little one receives. Everyone we've met is friendly, polite, and communicative. His teachers are responsive to us as parents and caring and loving to our son. My mama heart feels at ease when I receive pictures and updates all day long. I hope this review helps parents in need of childcare. We would not keep our baby boy here if we didn't believe it was the best!"
