Downtown Children's Center

Our school is a non-sectarian childcare center believed to be among the first in the nation to represent an alliance of businesses, childcare professionals and working parents in a unique cooperative effort to provide quality care near the workplace.

We provide a nurturing, quality and joyful learning environment for young children and give families comfort and confidence that their children are well-cared for, enjoying positive peer relationships and becoming ready for success in kindergarten and beyond.

We provide a quality curriculum with daily skill development activities and individualized attention.

Our center is a state-of-the-art facility, conveniently located in downtown St. Louis with ample parking.

We have small group sizes with separate classrooms for each age range / developmental level, as well as preparation for kindergarten readiness standards.

Our teachers are caring and experienced, with advanced early childhood credentials, committed fully to providing an outstanding academic education in a nurturing environment that respects every child's individuality.

Our food program, included in tuition, is delicious and nutritious, using quality ingredients, age-appropriate portions and fresh produce.

DCC is proud to be Accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
