Welcome!

I want to start by saying thank you for the opportunity to share my vision of early care and education with you.

Our family moved to Lake Saint Louis in 2009 to be closer to our family. My in-laws built their home in Lake Saint Louis over 40 years ago and my husband graduated from Holt High School in the Wentzville School District (back when our district only had one high school!). All that to say, our family loves living here and have been longstanding community members. 

We have two boys, Sean and Avery, and I can assure you, I know what a treasure children are. It is important for them to be excited to come to school - to explore, play, and enjoy learning - and for you to feel confident in the care and education they receive while you're at work. Our building is intentionally set up to look more like a home, so it feels more inviting and comfortable. We value a strong learning environment that incorporates music, physical movement and character development. Our curriculum is research based and even if we're having fun at school, we're also working hard to help our students have the best educational start.

Since living in LSL the past 17 years, I worked at a local private early learning center, and the Wentzville School District before opening Learning Lodge West in 2018. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to own and operate our school and work in early childhood education for over 20 years.  

My hope is that you can hear my passion for our youngest learners! I look forward to getting to know you and your family.
