Prickly Pear Nature School is an alternative preschool/kindergarten (ages 3-7) program that focuses on nature play, child-lead exploring, and hands on/experience learning. We get outdoors year round, in all weather. There's no such thing as bad weather! My goal is to build children's confidence, resilience, independence, empathy, and communication skills. Just a short walk to Tower Grove Park, we will spend most of our day outdoors exploring, creating art, and reading together. We do not follow a prescriptive curriculum. Instead, the areas of interest we explore form organically from the experiences and conversations we share. In the past we have studied the solar system, athletes, and pollinators while taking trips to the library, running around the local race track, and talking to the beekeeper at the neighborhood orchard. *2, 3, or 4 day options, with aftercare available till 5pm. My name is Emily Rybolt, I have been in childcare for the past 10 years, as a nanny to a variety of different ages and families. I have one daughter who is six years old. I have a bachelor degree in Health Management from Southeast Missouri State University. I am a director for the local Free Forest School chapter. I also have experience as a Forest School leader through Wilderkids. I have a passion for getting children out in nature, I've seen the benefits of outdoor play through my daughter and the children in my care.

I love children and always have. I started babysitting 20 years ago and then became a nanny from there. I took a break to go back to school and get a degree as a Registered Medical Assistant. After school, I started a family of my own and stayed home to be with my daughter and also provided an in home daycare. After my little one started school, I went to work as an RMA and had most recently been working in a pediatric doctor's office before offering an in home daycare again when my second daughter was born. She just turned 4 & we recently moved to the South County area and I have been unable to find any preschool availability so I'm opening up once again, this time offering a little bit more structured, pre-k learning curriculum. I am due with baby girl #3 in August and am not currently accepting infants. My 12 year old daughter loves helping out with the little ones and my 4 year old loves having new friends to learn, play & grow with. We will sing songs, play games, read books, learn new things and do some fun arts and crafts. Meals, snacks and drinks provided unless you prefer to bring your own. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a meeting! I look forward to meeting you and your little one!

Preschool
Creative Nursery and Preschool (CNAP) was established in 2009 to provide safe, high-quality, educational and licensed child care in the South St. Louis area. CNAP began as an in-home program and in 2012, moved into our current location at 6500 Arsenal as a licensed child care center with a maximum enrollment of 34 children. Our goal at Creative Nursery and Preschool is to provide a nurturing environment and learning-through-play approach that supports social-emotional, cognitive, language, and physical development. In addition, literacy and mathematics objectives are incorporated into the program through a combination of hands-on activities and exploration of materials as well as direct instruction. All toys, materials and activities are developmentally appropriate according to the age and abilities of each child. We utilize the Creative Curriculum in our program, which is a research-based, child-centered curriculum that encourages learning through play and spans the areas of literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, the arts and technology. We also utilize Teaching Strategies Gold, which is the online assessment tool that complements the Creative Curriculum. Assessments are completed three times a year and reports are distributed to parents following the assessment cycle, with opportunities for conferences with your child's teacher(s). The high-quality nutrition at CNAP sets us apart from other programs in the area. Meals include lean proteins and vegetarian options, whole grains, whole fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and hormone-free milk. Meals are prepared on-site each day. We are able to accommodate and provide substitutes for children who have food allergies, sensitivities, or other dietary restrictions. Another core value of our program is a strong focus on social-emotional development. Each year, CNAP staff members participate in United 4 Children's Social-Emotional Early Childhood Project (SEEC). At CNAP, we do not rely on time-outs or punitive forms of punishment, but instead, maintain a commitment to teaching appropriate behaviors, reinforcing positive behaviors and teaching children strategies, alternatives and problem-solving skills that will help them be more successful in their interactions with each other. Please email the Owner and Director to inquire about openings for your child(ren) and/or to schedule a tour.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Saint Louis, MO

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Saint Louis, MO. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Saint Louis, MO for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Saint Louis, MO, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Saint Louis, MO.

When looking for a preschool near you in Saint Louis, MO on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
