Frequently Asked Questions

We currently begin enrollment at 6 weeks old and provide care through age 8.

Please fill out our Join the Waitlist form and we will contact you to discuss availability.

Once you fill out a Join the Waitlist form, you will be contacted via email or a phone call when we have an opening for your child(ren). We will share our full family handbook with you and information about a security deposit. At that time, you will be able to schedule a tour and receive an enrollment packet to complete. When we have all of the required paperwork, we will finalize your child’s enrollment. Please do not contact us once your waitlist form has been completed, as we will contact you when there is an opening. Thank you.

Yes, we do! You can find out if you qualify by visiting https://dss.mo.gov/fsd/child-care-apply.htm. We highly recommend applying even if you are unsure whether you'd qualify or not, because eligibility is more common than some think.

No. DSS covers a percentage of your tuition depending on your qualifications. Once you are approved with your number of days and sliding fee (co-pay), you can email childcenter@mst.edu to get more information on your tuition rate.

Currently there are no discounts. We are hoping to continue building our scholarship donations to be able to offer this in the future. Visit our giving section if you are interested in donating towards our scholarship fund, or email us at childcenter@mst.edu.

If you are a student or think you may qualify for childcare assistance through DSS, visit https://dss.mo.gov/fsd/child-care-apply.htm to apply for services.

We have limited availability for protected child enrollments. You may fill out our join the waitlist form and/or email us at childcenter@mst.edu. To enroll, we need to have access to a scholarship that covers your child’s tuition, so this is on a limited and sometimes temporary basis.

We follow all licensing requirements. Information on ratios can be found here: https://www.daycare.com/missouri/
