Why families choose Conway

Chesterfield, MO

Casa Dia Montessori of Crestwood sits on Watson Road in south St. Louis County, minutes from The Magic House. Families choose our school because it treats a six-week-old and a five-year-old the same way: as capable of real learning, right now. Every classroom is built around that idea, and every teacher on staff is trained to protect it.

  • Minutes from The Magic House, off Watson Road
  • Six weeks through six years, all in one building
  • Every lead teacher Montessori-trained and credentialed
  • Family-owned and operated since 1976

Programs for Every Age and Stage

Four programs, one philosophy: real Montessori, start to finish.

Infants and young toddlers playing together6 weeks – 18 months

Infant Care

From as young as 6 weeks old, your baby gets a dedicated infant room, small groups, and teachers who notice the little things. It's a soft landing for both of you.

Toddlers painting with colored ice cubes18 months – 3 years

Toddler Care

Once your toddler is on the move, they step into a room built for exploring. Hands-on materials and a steady routine help them build independence one small success at a time.

A preschooler working on a letter-matching activity3 – 6 years

Preschool

Ages 3 to 6 dive into the full 5-area Montessori curriculum: practical life, sensorial, language, math, and cultural studies. Your child learns by doing, not by sitting still and listening.

Children doing summer crafts outdoors18 months – 6 years

Summer Care

Summer doesn't mean a break from curiosity. Our 10-week summer program runs June through August with a new theme each week, keeping preschoolers active, engaged, and ready for what's next.

Trust, Earned One Family at a Time

“Our daughter walked in shy and came out asking to set the table at home. The teachers see her, not a class list.”
Megan R. · Crestwood family
“We toured five schools. This was the only one where the classroom looked the same with us standing in it as it did without us.”
Daniel P. · Chesterfield family
“Both of our boys started in the infant room and stayed through pre-K. Four years in, it still feels like family.”
Alyssa T. · Mehlville family
“Real Montessori materials, real patience. Our son reads now and nobody ever sat him down and made him.”
Chris and Jenna M. · Crestwood family
