Our family has moved a few times. We’ve been involved with 6 or 7 day care centers from New York to St. Louis and wanted to share our positive experience with Five Star. The staff at has been tremendous throughout our stay. Our son has attended 3 classrooms(young 2’s, older 2’s, and 3’s) our daughter attends after school programs as needed(that flexibility is appreciated). Each classroom teaching team provides a comfortable, age appropriate atmosphere for our son and daughter to spend their time. I felt comfortable and secure dropping them off each day. The highlights: –art projects, –improved socialization skills, clean environments, potty training assistance and an absolutely beautiful and heart-warming Christmas Pageant. Payment, tax forms, sign-up paperwork and other administrative items were reasonable and organized. Drop-off/Pick-up is smooth, secure and informative. I know a lot of parents worry about outside child-care but I honestly never had those feelings after our site visit. I heard there might be a wait list for some age groups but if you are day-care shopping, I strongly recommend a visit to Five Star Learning. Overall, their staff and management have been first class, responsive and considerate.

Before our baby was born we checked out several day cares to ensure the best fit for our family. As soon as I walked into Five Star Learning Center I knew this was the place. The staff here are great. During our first visit we noticed all of the staff had smiles on their faces. All of the kids seemed happy too. This visit was a surprise visit so I know it wasn’t staged. To top it all off, they were the cheapest day care we had visited. FSLC offers more services than most other day cares. They offer 24 hour care for those parents that work shifts. They also offer a «Parent’s Night Out» one Saturday each month. This consist of child care from 6 pm to midnight to allow parents to go out and have fun by themselves. This is really nice for those parents that may not have a close family support system and just need a night to themselves. Our son has been going to Five Star Learning Center for over a month now and I still feel the same way. I know our son is getting the proper care and attention he needs. He comes home happy every day and is hitting his milestones. I feel he is treated just as if he were one of their own. I am truly amazed by this place after hearing horror stories of day cares.
