KNOB NOSTER ACADEMY KIDS LLC

I highly recommend sending your babies to Knob Noster Academy Kids! Emily and KNAK were absolutely amazing. Emily walked us through the military subsidy program so we could get that secured. The whole KNAK team made sure my boys (and I) were comfortable on their first day, with check ins and pictures all day long. My boys loved going to daycare everyday - so much so my oldest didn’t want to leave when we picked him up 😂. Now that we have moved away, we know it will be hard to find childcare that lives up to the expectation that KNAK has set for us!

KNAK was amazing and was sad to leave Emily and the girls! My boys loved going there everyday. I was that parent that called all the time to check in but they were great and always made me feel like we made the right choice with picking a daycare! We loved KNAK! And miss them so much!

As a military family that relocates every two to three years, finding people we can truly trust with our children is never easy. Discovering KNAK has been an incredible blessing and has brought us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, we felt the genuine love and care they have for our kids. The team at KNAK treats our children like their own. Since moving to Missouri, they’ve been the only ones we trust to care for them—and for good reason. Their warmth, professionalism, and dedication are unmatched. Our daughter has grown tremendously since starting at KNAK. She constantly surprises us with her expanding vocabulary, new skills, and curiosity about the world—something we directly credit to the amazing work of the teachers and staff. And it’s not just our daughter—our son has also flourished in their care. Watching him hit milestones with confidence, develop a sweet bond with his teachers, and light up every day he walks in brings us so much joy. The love and attention he receives at such a young age is more than we could have hoped for. We are beyond grateful for the nurturing, educational, and truly loving environment KNAK provides every single day. They’ve made a lasting impact on our family.

KNAK has truly become a second home for our kiddos. My oldest has been in a new childcare facility every year—until we found KNAK. Since they opened in 2023, it’s been nothing short of amazing. The staff is phenomenal and treat the kids like their own. Emily, the director, is incredibly thorough and communicates so well. She genuinely gets to know your children and isn’t afraid to share honest feedback or concerns. I love the transparency—it shows how much she cares! Lindsey is hands-down my son’s favorite person in the world. I’m already sad thinking about him leaving for kindergarten! She’s compassionate, kind, fun, and exactly the kind of person you hope will care for your child. Cleanliness? Impeccable. KNAK is by far the cleanest facility we’ve ever seen. It always smells clean, and they encourage great hand washing habits from the kids, too. Ms. Nellie, the cook, is another rockstar. My picky eater is now trying (and liking!) new foods—tuna noodles! They serve real healthy meals, not just frozen nuggets, and that makes such a difference. Fast forward to 2024: I had my second son two months early. As a NICU baby with severe reflux, I was so nervous. But after talking to Emily and the infant room staff, I felt completely at ease. They wore him for months and gave him the love and attention he needed. My heart was so full knowing he was in such good hands. Ashton and Fae are gems in the infant room and THE sweetest! The ProCare app is another huge win. I get real-time updates, can message staff throughout the day, and always get quick responses. Plus, the facility has fantastic security, including cameras and keyed access doors. We absolutely LOVE KNAK. The teachers there are treasures, and I truly dread the day my kiddos have to graduate.

I cannot say enough good things about KNAK! We have been with KNAK since they opened and from day one, I’ve been so impressed with the consistency and professionalism of the staff. They truly care about the kids. My daughter has come home telling me her teachers love her and that is so heartwarming to hear from a 2 year old! I love getting updates and photos through the ProCare app—it gives me peace of mind and makes me feel connected to my daughter’s day, even when I’m not there. The director, Emily, is amazing. She’s approachable, responsive, and always keeps parents in the loop. Knowing my daughter is in such a caring and well-run environment means the world to me, they truly feel like family. Highly recommend!
