Testimonials
Our son has been attending ALC for almost 3 years and we are very pleased with his development at the school. He takes a while to warm up to new people, but in Ms. Van and Ms. Taylor class he has such great confidence and has really bloomed. They are so patient and gentle with him. The facility is very welcoming and they have great family events.

Thank you Adventure Learning Center-Ballwin!! We are so happy to have found you 3 years ago. We have been so pleased with how both our children have grown and developed in each classroom they have been in during our time there. I have no doubt that my oldest will be more than prepared for Kindergarten.
Both of my children love to go to school. They love their teachers. And I can rest easy at work knowing they are in good hands!
The directors, Sara and Cathy, are so approachable and take action the minute you bring a question or concern to them. They truly put the children first.
ALC truly has a family feel and we can’t imagine our kids anywhere else!

My son has been attending ALC for almost a year – he has developed and thrived more than I could ever imagine! He was barely potty trained when he arrived and within 2 weeks was going at home without assistance, no treats needed. He also can write his name eligibly at 3 years old. The day is filled with creative play, lessons and fun! Ms.Van and Ms.Taylor are amazing and happy to be part of the ALC family!
