LION'S PRIDE ACADEMY

Lion’s Pride was a lifesaver for us when we had to move to STL from KC. We were nervous about finding high-quality care, and they turned out to be that and much more. My daughter (4 yrs) has thrived under a loving and well-run establishment. She is progressing and learning beyond the preschool level and they treat her like she is a part of their family. We will all be quite sad to leave once she starts kindergarten next year.

Our child has been attending this all-ages daycare for two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From day one, we’ve seen incredible growth in our child—developmentally, emotionally, and academically. It’s clear that this is more than just a daycare; it’s a second home where kids thrive. The care providers, a husband-and-wife team with backgrounds in education, bring a unique and exceptional touch to their care. Their expertise creates a foundation similar to what you’d find in a well-structured school setting, yet it’s paired with the warmth, love, and familiarity you expect from in-home care. This balance has been instrumental in helping our child feel secure and excited to learn and explore each day. What truly sets this daycare apart is the effort the providers put into making every child feel included and involved. They go above and beyond to create a wide variety of activities that cater to different interests and developmental stages. From creative art projects to interactive learning games, there’s always something engaging and enriching happening. The school-provided meals and snacks are another huge bonus. They serve healthy, well-balanced options that our child enjoys, and it’s such a relief to know that nutritious food is taken care of during the day. Safety is clearly a top priority here. The environment is clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed for kids of all ages. Additionally, the communication from the providers is outstanding. We receive daily updates and photos tailored specifically to our child, which helps us feel connected and reassured throughout the day. We can’t recommend this daycare enough. If you’re looking for a place where your child will feel loved, supported, and encouraged to grow in every way, this is it!

My family had the pleasure of being the first family to join the Lion's Pride community. I call it a community because that is exactly what it was and has continued to be for us. My husband, son, and I have no family within eight hours of Saint Louis, and yet since beginning at Lions Pride, we have never felt lonely. Let me paint this picture for you: you drop your child off to a loving family daily, to caregivers who never change. They provide healthy homemade meals and snacks. They teach your child everything they need to thrive and be kind to others. The only screen time they receive is enriching music videos that are often multicultural. Your child comes home teaching you bits of Chinese, French, and even Korean. You receive daily photos of their adventures and a daily narrative. Drop-off and pick-up are never rushed, and communication is always clear. What a dream! In today's world, the peace of mind I had about my son's care was priceless. I knew that he was happy, loved, and learning every day. Eventually, it was time for our son to move on to public Pre-K. And you know what? We STILL have this wonderful community! We Trick-or-Trick, we Friendsgiving, we Block Party, we LIFE with Lions Pride.
