Our family has had (and is having) a wonderful experience here! What I love most about Hope is how individualized the attention is for each child. My daughter & son are very different and I appreciate that each one has been encouraged to develop, learn and excel at their own pace. Within my daughter's primary classroom, the teacher makes extraordinary efforts to engage children at their current level/interest and challenge them to explore new activities. The toddler room staff is incredibly patient when it comes to "toilet learning" (and we are personally testing that patience daily). I could list numerous things that set this place and our experience apart...The teachers, staff and director greet all children by name and ask questions about their families, pets, weekend activities. The summer camp program (ages 3-5) is amazing - great field trips and enrichment activities. Our kids started in the infant room, and as a first-time mom, I immediately felt comfortable with the care my babies received. I like the flexibility of their schedule/part-time attendance options. When I have had concerns or questions, I have found the staff to be open to feedback and very fair in their responses. The only negative about sending our kids here - it will be extremely hard to "graduate" from here when it's time to send our kiddos to public school. =)

Absolutely great experience with both kids. We loved the curriculum and staff. Couldnt have found a better place in the area for the kids. The time and attention the faculty and staff spend on each kid is commendable. So glad that we got to be part of the Hope Family. The Director knows each family personally and shows interest in what is going on in the classroom and school all the time. When I walked out after dropping my kids, I knew my kids will be loved and taken care off.

Hope Montessori has and always will have a special place in my heart and the hearts of my two sons. Hope gifted to my children in ways that I never could have imagined an early childhood setting could. They instilled in my children a genuine love for others, a curiosity for the world and their everyday surroundings, a respect for nature, a confidence in themselves, and a genuine love for learning and new ideas. The staff and educators at Hope live the lives they teach. My family is forever grateful.

We have been part of the Hope LSL family for the past 4 1/2 years. Our oldest daughter attended through kindergarten and our 2 year old is currently in the toddler classroom. The director, teachers and staff go above and beyond for their families. They offer a loving and caring environment that sets the children up for success. I highly recommend Hope Academy, Lake St. Louis!
