Dream! Grow! Achieve!
Dream S.T.E.A.M. Academy is a child development center and preschool for little learners from birth to age 5. We pair nurturing care with hands-on STEAM learning that helps your child grow curious, capable, and ready for kindergarten.
This is where curiosity gets busy. Our Innovation Room is a bright, hands on space where little learners play strategy games like chess, build and create side by side, and get up and move while they learn.
Four nurturing classrooms, each designed around what little learners need next.
Nurturing care and first discoveries.
Playful learning and growing independence.
Language, friendships, and early learning.
A strong foundation for the next big step.
Hours, ages, meals, tuition, and everything else parents ask us first.
We’re open year-round with full-day care on weekdays. Holiday closures are always posted in advance, so you can plan ahead.
We care for little learners from birth to 5 years old, in four classrooms grouped by age and stage.
Our classrooms follow the Scholastic Pre-K curriculum and the Missouri Early Learning Standards, with hands-on STEAM learning built into every day.
Breakfast, lunch, and two snacks are served every day. We participate in the CACFP food program, so our meals are designed to be healthy and nutritious.
Tuition is a weekly rate based on your child’s age group and schedule. Give us a call or book a tour for current pricing and openings.

Purposeful play today.
Skills for life.
Hands-on discovery helps little learners explore, ask questions, and solve problems.
Storytelling, podcasting, and presenting give little voices room to grow in confidence and creativity.
Confidence, friendships, and early academic skills grow together.
Our approach, a typical day, our founder, our story, and answers to your questions, all in one place.
Early learning is about more than ABCs and 123s. We care for how your child feels, what they eat, and the languages they grow up with, so every part of them can thrive.
Through our partnership with The Community Reach, licensed play therapists are onsite for small group play. They also connect families with helpful resources and support.
We have a classroom where students learn in both Spanish and English, and Spanish speaking families are always welcome.
We participate in the CACFP food program, so breakfast, lunch, and snacks are designed to be healthy and nutritious.
Every classroom follows its own rhythm by age, but here is the shape of a typical day for our little learners. Times are approximate.
