Hope Montessori Academy

Love it! An excellent Montessori institution in Creve Coeur, MO. There are numerous options in the St. Louis but if you are looking for a safe, clean and caring environment definitely pay HOPE Montessori in Creve Coeur a visit. The facilities are excellent and Susie Shelton-​Dodge is the Headmistress and is wonderful and very approachable.
They do have before and after school care which is included in tuition. They participate in numerous field trips. The menu in the cafeteria also has very healthy items.
The summer camp is also wonderful with numerous fun activities but my favorite part of summer camp is the swimming lessons. They do have a very nice swimming pool on campus (fenced) and teach swimming every day during the summer. Lessons are dependent on ability and age. There is even parent observation day at the end of the summer.
No this place isn’t cheap but well worth the money.
Overall my favorite aspects:
1) Before and after school care
2) Summer camp swimming lessons
3) Small class sizes
4) Safe, diverse and comfortable environment

My 2 year old attends Hope Academy. She loves it! The children get to explore the woods behind the property everyday and my little one tells me all about her adventures on the way home. The facility is beautiful and the staff are great with the kids. Several staff members have been working there for over 10 years. It is comforting to know that there is not constant turn over at the place I send my child to for several hours a day.
