About this organization
Mission
To provide superior quality early childhood education utilizing Project Construct curriculum to meet the needs of diverse children and their families who live and/or work in the downtown St. Louis area.
About
Our early childhood program is designed to meet the diverse, individual needs of all children, ages 6 weeks to six years. We are very proud of our longstanding accreditation and partnership with the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Our classrooms meet or are lower than state standards for child-to-teacher ratios, and our teaching staff is trained to utilize the nationally recognized curriculum of Project Construct. Due to small class sizes, highly qualified staff and hands-on learning, the school is able to offer differentiated instruction and care, which provides a nurturing enviornment that allows each child to develop skills and interests that enhance his or her's natural talents. The care and education we provide allows each child to build their social/emotional, cognitive, and physical skills to become a well-rounded, curious and confident learner, which is the key to academic success.
