Founded in 2010, Kyddie Karnival began as a small in-home childcare program with a big dream—to provide families with a safe, nurturing, and educational environment where children could learn, grow, and thrive.

As our reputation for quality care and early childhood education grew, so did the need for expanded services. In 2016, we proudly opened our first large childcare facility on Bellefontaine Road, allowing us to serve more children and families throughout the community.

 

Driven by a passion for helping children succeed, Kyddie Karnival continued to grow and evolve. In May 2025, we opened our second location, Kyddie Kares Youth Academy & Resource Center, expanding our ability to support children and families through quality childcare, educational enrichment, and family resources.

 

Just a few months later, in August 2025, we celebrated another exciting milestone with the opening of our third location, The STEAM Academy at Kyddie Karnival. This innovative center was created to provide children with enhanced learning opportunities focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM), preparing them for future success through hands-on learning and exploration.

 

Today, Kyddie Karnival proudly operates three thriving learning centers dedicated to providing exceptional care and education for children from infancy through school age. What began as an in-home childcare program has grown into a trusted organization serving families across the St. Louis community.

 

Our success is built on strong relationships, dedicated educators, supportive families, and a commitment to creating safe, engaging, and enriching environments where every child can reach their full potential. From one home in 2010 to three thriving centers today, our mission remains the same: nurturing young minds, strengthening families, and building brighter futures—one child at a time.
