feedback on daycares in St Louis area

ergranger

We are looking at a few daycares in the St. Louis area and was wondering if anyone had any feedback on them:  Webster Child Care in Webster Groves, Rainbow Castle in St Louis, Clayton Child Center in Clayton and the Goddard School in Rock HIll which is new. Does anyone send their children to any of these places or know anyone who does who could share their feedback?

Our child isn't set to go to any of those but I have visited some of them and gotten referrals. I know people are very happy with Clayton Child Center, we just couldn't afford the rates there.

Some others you might want to check out in the area are Elaine Rosi in Brentwood, KinderCare in Kirkwood and not sure where you are located but have heard great things about the Child Center in the city as well as University City.

I absolutely love the Goddard program.  They are a franchise, so they can vary a bit from each location, but their quality assurance program in great and I loved their curriculum.

Definitely listen to what others say from personal experiences but the best test is to visit each one you've heard positive things about and see for yourself.  My husband visited Webster Child Care based on positive feedback from others and was taken aback by it's lack of cleanliness, messiness and chaotic feel.  We send our daughter to Hope Montessori in Ballwin and LOVE it!  I also have a friend who takes their son to Kirkwood Kindercare and they really like it but don't have any personal experiences with the other places you mentioned.  You'll know when you visit if you would feel comfortable leaving your baby there or not.  If you have any hesitation or questions I would mark it off your list!
