Maryville KinderCare has been a trusted name in early childhood education for years. They offer programs for ages 6 weeks to 5 years, with flexible scheduling and hours from 6 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday.
The STEM Innovators program is one of their standout offerings for ages 3-8. This isn't just another activity — it takes kids' natural curiosity and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and more. While your child experiments with hands-on activities, they discover how to use technology to do amazing things.
Programs available: - Infant Daycare (6 weeks–1 year) - Toddler Daycare (1–2 years) - Discovery Preschool (2–3 years) - Preschool (3–4 years) - Prekindergarten (4–5 years)
Enrichment programs include: - Cooking Academy™ (ages 3–12) — kids learn recipes from cultures around the world and actually eat their creations! - Music Explorers™ (ages 2–4) — sing, move, play instruments, and create tunes - Phonics Adventures® (ages 2–4) — learning to read made fun - STEM Innovators (ages 3–8) — robotics, coding, and hands-on science
The center is NAEYC accredited and even has the Gallup® Exceptional Workplace Award — that's the first and only early childhood education provider to win it every year since 2017. You can tell they care about their teachers, and that shows in how they treat your kids.
Pro tip: They're located off Highway 321 in the foothills, so it's a easy drop-off if you're coming from that direction. Call to schedule a tour — the director, Lisa McMahan, seems to have built a really strong team here.
