Cornerstone Center for Early Learning

We are so grateful to Scott Credit Union for once again giving their time and talents to Cornerstone! Their continued support means so much to our children, families, and staff.

This time, their team came ready to make an even bigger impact by volunteering with us and also bringing much-needed diapers and school supplies for our families. These donations will help ensure our children and families have the essentials they need as we begin a new school year.

Thank you, Scott Credit Union, for continuing to show up for our Cornerstone community. We are so thankful for your partnership and generosity! 🥰💙

What a summer of adventure it has been for Wunderkind Adventure Camp! Our campers made memories, tried new things, and had SO much fun along the way. From holding snakes and dressing up in costume to getting an up-close visit from a fire truck , every week brought something exciting to explore!

Thank you to everyone who helped make Wunderkind Adventure Camp such a fun and memorable summer! 💙🚒

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday! 🥰💙

Our classrooms are buzzing with curiosity! We love using tools to help our children slow down, look closely, and discover the tiny wonders all around them.

With child-friendly magnifying glasses and bug jars, our little explorers can safely examine bugs, leaves, and other delicate treasures without damaging them with curious hands. They’re learning to observe, ask questions, and appreciate the amazing details found in nature.

And honestly… investigating bugs is even more fun when you’re dressed like one!

We love seeing our children turn everyday discoveries into meaningful and FUN learning experiences.🦋💙

Happy THIRD anniversary to Mr. Kyle! As a facilitator, Kyle has the unique opportunity to get to know children throughout the entire center. He is a familiar and welcoming face to all of our families.

As a former Cornerstone parent, Kyle has a special connection to our community and understands firsthand the impact Cornerstone can have on children and families. He is a true advocate for children and brings curiosity, creativity, and kindness to his work each day.

Thank you, Kyle, for three years of making Cornerstone a more joyful, supportive, and creative place for our children and families. We’re so grateful you’re part of our team! 🎉💙

Happy SECOND anniversary to Mr. Jay! As a member of our kitchen team, Jay helps prepare the nutritious meals that fuel our children and staff each day. His quiet, calm presence, gentle spirit, and understanding nature make him a valued part of our Cornerstone family.

As a Cornerstone parent himself, Jay understands the importance of creating a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Whether he's preparing breakfast, lunch, or snacks, he plays an important role in caring for our community every single day.

Thank you, Jay, for your kindness, dedication, and the care you put into everything you do. Happy 2nd Anniversary! We're grateful to have you as part of the Cornerstone family! 💙🎉

Happy SIXTH anniversary to Ms. Maddie! Her Cornerstone journey is especially meaningful, because before she became a beloved teacher and staff member, she was a Cornerstone child herself.

For five years, Ms. Maddie cared for our youngest learners in the Ducks classroom, bringing patience, warmth, and affection to every child in her care. One year ago, she carried that experience into her new role as Family Advocate, where she continues to make a meaningful difference for children and families every day.

Ms. Maddie helps families navigate the sometimes-daunting process of joining our therapy program, makes sure families have plenty of diapers to take home each month, and serves as a warm, welcoming resource for families experiencing hardship or navigating therapy and social service needs.

Whether she’s comforting a toddler or supporting a family, Maddie leads with kindness, understanding, and a genuine desire to help. We are so grateful for the six years she has shared with Cornerstone and especially proud that one of our own Cornerstone children has grown up to become such an important part of our team.

Happy 6th anniversary, Ms. Maddie! We’re so lucky to have you! 💙🎉

As a nonprofit, we recognize that volunteers are an essential part of what makes our mission possible. We are thankful for every person who donates their time, talents, and expertise to our program. Cornerstone is honored to be included in this recent article by Ladue News highlighting the meaningful ways volunteers support nonprofits throughout our community.

How do you teach your child kindness? Try volunteering “Through service, kids begin to see the needs within their community and develop empathy for others,” says Katelind Hosie of United Way of Greater St. Louis.

We’re so grateful to Jennifer and her son, Eric, for spending time at Cornerstone helping us organize and make better use of our spaces! From moving supplies to creating easy-to-access storage areas, their hard work is helping our staff find what they need when they need it and making our spaces work better for everyone.

Thank you, Jennifer and Eric, for sharing your time, energy, and talents with Cornerstone! We appreciate you! 🗄📁

Happy THIRTY-SEVENTH anniversary to Ms. Jeanette! For nearly four decades, she has dedicated her life to nurturing, teaching, and inspiring young children. Generations of Cornerstone children have been lucky enough to call her their teacher.

In the Bunnies classroom, children enter as curious toddlers and leave as confident little learners, ready to take on whatever comes next. Her children absolutely adore her, and it’s easy to see why! Ms. Jeanette leads with humor, wisdom, high-expectations, and decades of experience. She is deeply respected by her colleagues and loved by the children and families she serves.

Thank you, Ms. Jeanette, for 37 years of laughter, learning, love, and countless memories. We are so grateful for the lasting impact you’ve made on our Cornerstone community! 💕🐰
