Child Care Center
Early childhood education is often on parents’ minds as soon as they realize they need it. Whether you are expecting, have a young child who is ready for a daycare setting, or just want to know more about childcare options for your family, researching the choices you have is an important part of making an educated decision.
At North American Montessori in St. Louis, we offer both full-time and part-time preschool childcare at our three day care locations:
We understand that choosing the right daycare center and childcare is a decision you don’t make lightly. That’s why we have offered a caring environment for children from infancy into their preschool years, up through pre-kindergarten, for over 40 years. This time in their lives is full of growth and change, and we tailor their experience in safe, age-appropriate rooms with activities to fit their needs.

The Montessori Method is an educational method and philosophy that recognizes children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn. The name originates from Dr. Maria Montessori, Italy’s first female medical doctor. Born in 1870, Dr. Montessori studied the behavior and development of children to create a new environment for learning. Dr. Montessori perceived the years between birth and six years as the period with the greatest potential for learning.
For this “sensitive period” in a child’s life Dr. Montessori designed the “prepared environment [where] the child, set free from undue adult intervention, can live its life according to the laws of its development.” In 1907, she founded the first Montessori school in Rome, Casa dei Bambini, or “Children’s House.” Since this time, her methods have been celebrated and continued in the world of early childhood education.
We are passionate about teaching the Montessori method in our classrooms, and we hope our knowledge and passion influences your children to become independent, creatively-minded individuals as they grow with us at our learning centers. We offer competitive tuition rates, outstanding service, and dependable classroom settings that help your children thrive.
