A room for every age
Every classroom has its own name, and scholars move from room to room as they grow. Each child spends the day with friends at the same stage and a teacher who knows exactly what that stage needs.
Terrific Twos
Lily’s Corner
A curriculum made just for two-year-olds. Words, sharing, songs, and outdoor time, and we work with you on potty training.
Pre-K
Sunflowers Room
Letters, numbers, and the everyday habits that make kindergarten easier, like following directions, taking turns, and asking for help.
Before & after school
Kindergarten care
Care before and after the school day, including half-day kindergarten. Depending on your child’s school, the bus may be able to drop off right here. Ask us.
MICDS came to watch us teach
Their admissions team observed our Pre-K classroom and added us to their list of vetted centers. Scholars who apply from Sunflowers Room are already known to the school, and one of ours has gone on to attend.
Learn. Grow. Believe. Succeed.
Our motto is also how we plan the day. Every scholar grows in four ways.
Learn
Letters, numbers, early reading, and hands-on STEM, at the pace that fits each child.
Grow
Taking turns, using words for big feelings, and making real friends.
Believe
Bible Time and simple stories about love, kindness, and courage.
Succeed
Independence and confidence, so they walk into kindergarten ready.
Three generations under one roof

Mrs. Tanya
Owner & Director
Licensed in Missouri for more than twenty years. She built this center one family at a time, starting in her own home.
Imani
Assistant Director
The children call her TT Mani. She is in the classrooms every day, and she is usually the one sending your updates.

Questions parents ask
What ages do you take?
6 weeks through 6 years old. Infants have their own room with one caregiver for every four babies, and older children are grouped with friends their own age.
What are your hours?
We’re open 6:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. A full day is up to nine hours in a row, and you choose where those nine hours fall. Drop off at 6:00am and pick up by 3:00pm, drop off at 7:30am and pick up by 4:30pm, or drop off at 9:00am and pick up by 6:00pm.
Arriving before 7:30am or staying past 5:30pm is arranged ahead of time, so tell us the hours you need and we’ll confirm them.
Working a later shift? Our license runs to 9:00pm. Tell us the hours you need and we’ll talk through what we can work out for your family.
Need more than nine hours? Extended care is available. Ask us for details.
I work a late shift. Can you help?
Talk to us. Our license runs to 9:00pm, and Mrs. Tanya tries to work out coverage with each family based on what they need. Tell us your schedule when you call and she’ll tell you honestly what she can do.
Do you offer part-time care?
Part-time care may be available when space allows. Check in with us about the days you need, and we’ll let you know what’s open.
Do you provide meals?
Yes. Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are home-cooked in our own kitchen, often by Mama G herself. Tell us about any allergies at enrollment and we’ll plan around them.
How will I know how my child’s day went?
We use the Brightwheel app. You’ll get check-in times, meals, naps, photos, and notes from the teachers through the day, and you can message us any time.
Are you a faith-based center?
Faith is part of who we are. Bible Time is one of Rhythm’s weekly clubs, with simple stories about love and kindness. Families of every background are welcome.
Do you post photos of the children?
Only with a signed release from you, and you can change your mind at any time. We never post anything that shows pickup times, daily routines, or anything a stranger could use.
Can my kindergartener come here before and after school?
Yes, including half-day kindergarten, up to age 6. Some Ferguson-Florissant schools can bus kindergarteners to our door. It depends on the school, so ask us about yours.
Do you accept state child care assistance?
Yes. We accept Missouri child care assistance, and we offer a sibling discount for families with more than one child enrolled. Ask us at your tour and we’ll walk you through it.
How do I enroll?
Start with a tour. Call us at (314) 736-1007 or email Kidzrourfuturecdc@gmail.com. If it’s a good fit, we’ll send the enrollment forms through Brightwheel so you can finish them on your phone.
Come see us
The best way to know if we’re right for your family is to walk through the door. Tours take about 20 minutes, and your little one is welcome to come along.
