    Laura Eads, Operating Partner

    Laura loves observing the activities, interaction and learning of young children. Their curious minds and robust spirits are a joy to nurture. She especially enjoys a delightful conversation over the meaning of a favorite book or the virtues of growing a garden. Her personal experience with a structured and educationally-based pre-school and the positive experience that process created for her family, is something she wants to duplicate at Kiddie Academy. “The opportunity to impact young children with the resources of the Life Essentials program is very exciting to me.” As a working parent, she understands the level of responsibility the academy has to provide a nurturing environment to our families’ most precious assets. She will work hard to meet the whole family’s needs and will build relationships that last well beyond the preschool years. Laura has participated with PTO boards and programs throughout her children’s education. She has taught religious education at the elementary school level and helped create a weekly faith program for families. Laura has worked in professional and leadership training and human resources for more than 20 years, ten of which were with Tom at Keller Laboratories. She holds a B.S. degree from the University of Colorado and resides in Wildwood. She is married and has two adult children.

    Tom Keller, Managing Partner

    Tom is a father and grandfather who knows what it’s like to have a little hand reach for his, and loves to hear the inquisitive questions asked by young children. He has been asked on many occasions why he has chosen to go into the child care business. His response is “because early childhood education is where children begin developing their foundation for how they will live as lifelong learners.” Professionally, Mr. Keller was CEO and President of Keller Laboratories, Inc., a dental laboratory group with offices and manufacturing in Missouri and four surrounding states. He is a firm believer in continuing education through professional leadership and personal development. A University of Kentucky graduate, Mr. Keller has participated in numerous leadership development programs and has been invited to speak at professional conferences. He lives in West St. Louis County with his wife, Marsha. They have two children and five grandchildren. 

Hear from our parents

The teachers and administrators are great. Good facility.
Ashish S., O'Fallon

I like the detailed communication platform. It’s great to know what my child is doing all day , what she is eating and how much she is drinking water/milk all day. I appreciate the monthly updates as well!
Jasmine C., O'Fallon

I think having the same staff over multiple years says a lot about the quality of the workplace. It gives stability for the children and enables trust for parents. The teachers seem to truly care about each child.
Sneha L., O'Fallon

Keegan loves being in his new room and playing on the big playground. Though I know he had such a good relationship with his teachers in his old room because he still talks about them every morning when we get to school. He is starting to say more words and communicating with us more. Kellan…
Jody M., O'Fallon

Awesome school!! The staff are amazing at what they do and truly love the children in their care. Their play-based curriculum is the best of the best & the teachers daily recommendations of how to continue the learning at home via daily sheets has allowed us to be a part of our daughter's developmental achievements…
Taylor B., O'Fallon

The teachers are truly passionate about what they do. We've seen the same faces for the 2 years we have been here. I like that you celebrate multiple cultural days including Chinese New Year and Holi. You provide good nutritious options for food and snacks and accommodate my kids' vegetarian diets.
Sneha L., O'Fallon

It’s a lot of activities
Estefanie T., O'Fallon

We couldn’t be happier with how much fun Bodhi has at school. He’s learning so much and loves his teachers and friends. The entire team at KAO makes sure he is always well taken care of and that’s truly all you can ask for. Thank you!
Jennifer B., O'Fallon

Love the attention they give my kids and the curriculum
Gina J., O'Fallon

The teachers, staff, and curriculum are outstanding. All students participate in all extracurriculars. The food is well-planned and nutritious. My kids are very happy here and I'm happy to send them.
