Welcome to our World! A place where imaginations run wild and creativity knows no bounds. A place where children learn to problem solve by using critical thinking skills and where a sense of community is formed.
As a pediatric nurse , a mother of five, and a daughter of an educator, I have always loved providing care and teaching to children and their families. After opening the first pediatric home care agency in Missouri in 1985, I realized that something was lacking. A place where all children could come together under one roof and despite medical challenges could reach their highest potential . So in 1996 , Strictly Pediatrics Center was opened.
In order for children to reach their highest potential they must first be given opportunities. It starts with a safe and loving environment, nutritious and healthy foods to fuel the brain, positive reinforcement, a balanced education and a sense of community.
As you walk down the halls of our Maryland Heights center and our Kirkwood center you will see that they are uniquely different but our philosophy and our goals are the same. Each room is designed with the child's developmental needs in mind and our creative staff each adds their special touch to the classroom.
Our staff includes experienced and degree'd educators, Pediatric Nurses, Occupational therapists, and Physical therapists all working together to enhance the potentials of all of our children.
After years of providing services to our community, I feel blessed to have met so many wonderful families and staff and I thank God for the wonderful gift of children. Being a part of their growth and development has been very rewarding and their laughter and creativity and fun filled stories keep me coming back to work everyday.
