Unfortunately, We decided not to re-open our doors this Fall. Stay safe! My name is Maria. I am a 33 year-old mother of 2 boys. I have worked with children for most of my life. During school I worked as a children's party entertainer. I also worked as a part-time babysitter for a wonderful baby girl (0 to 2 years old). After I came to St. Louis, I started working as a full-time babysitter for a family with 3 kids (9 years old, 5 years old and 3 years old). Later, I also worked part time for other families making wonderful relationships along the way. I now work with small children (from 3 months old to 3 years old) in my house (3 to 4 kids). My main childcare objectives are: safety and joyful learning. In my home daycare music, songs, and laughter are important. We also enjoy crafting with different materials. Smaller children will use finger paints and enjoy activities and games using different fabrics, soft blocks and many more. Bigger children will play and learn with age-appropriate materials and will also enjoy outdoor games. I also make sure that each child has opportunities for individual and group activities that expose them to a variety of skills and learning experiences. I truly love working with children and would be happy to welcome another into our wonderful group. My house is located on Spring Leigh Ct in Ballwin area and my normal hours are from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, but am open to flexibility. I charge 50$/day with lunch and snacks included. If you are interested, please contact me by email: mariia.kosova@gmail.com Thank you.

Loving and nurturing environment. Hands on approach when teaching infants and toddlers. Numerous references from parents and some of the children themselves, who have grown up over the years in my care. I work closely with parents to ensure that your goals and expectations are met, and the children tend to do well when they enter the school system. I offer flexible hours as well as before and after care for school age children attending Brennan Woods Elementary in the Northwest R1 School District. Weekend care can also be arranged. Reasonably priced starting at $120.00 for one child needing full time care.

Kidsplay was founded by a parent and teacher who wanted to create a special place for children to "just be kids" while their parents were assured of a safe, secure, quality childcare and preschool program. Kidsplay's unique design is a reflection of twenty five years of focusing on the needs of families and providing a flexible day, evening and weekend schedule. Since 1991 parents have attended meetings, run errands, worked evenings or weekends, volunteered, or enjoyed a night out, while their children took part in many fun programs at Kidsplay.

Experienced small group, in home, family style daycare ( 20+ yr. exp.) Hours: 10.5 hours daily; Mon. through Fri. 7:30 am -- 5:30 pm What I provide is long-term individualized attention, as I only keep limited to a small babies group. I only take care of infants to toddler age, (3 mo. -- 3 yrs) Infants from 3 months, up to 3 years, only. Flexible; but structured, small group daycare program. Safe, convenient Kirkwood home on cul-d-sac. Smoke free environment, dedicated small group, in home daycare. Plenty (4 pages) of references from parents whose children I've cared for. I provide a detailed daily report, for parent &amp; pediatrician archival/review. Teaching sharing skills, friendly group play, puzzles, numbers, letters, etc. Assistance in potty training. Working together we establish a &quot;plan&quot; with parents. I have over 20 yrs. Experience caring for infants &amp; toddlers in our Kirkwood home. I am also married, a mother of 3 with a loving family. I began extending my loving care to other families over 20 years ago so that I could be at home for our kids. They are grown teachers themselves now. Yet I have fallen in love with every child that has entered my life and I sadden when they &quot;age out&quot;. I believe to really care for a child is to get to know each child/family, and understand their individual needs; childcare is a lot more than just &quot;babysitting&quot;. Many of the babies I've cared for are with me for an average of 2 + years, many still come back to visit me when they are in high school! What does that say for me? Note you are not obligated to a specific length of time with me, but I hope you will see the benefits of my care systems and choose to stay with me until formal education begins around 3 yrs of age. I do not do &quot;drop in&quot; or &quot;drop offs&quot; My references include several families for whom I've cared for all of their babies (a printed reference list is provided at my interview meeting). ** NEW CLIENTS MUST INTERVIEW TO BE CONSIDERED ** You may leave a telephone message for appointment. I do require new clients to meet in my home for an orientation interview; so as to be more sure we will work out well together. You can arrange a daycare interview appointment, leave a message: 314-965-5420.
