Hands-on Educational Programs

Lucky Lane Early Childhood stands out from other preschools in several meaningful ways. We take a play-driven approach to education, allowing students to develop their unique personalities and to shape the world around them through trial and error. Our campus is set up to facilitate these goals, and you'll notice the difference the very first time you visit. We've been shaping young minds for decades and are proud to say that we foresee a bright future for Lucky Lane.

Our reputation for excellence is well-known

A strong testament of our staying power in providing quality education: our doors have been open since 1950. Families from all across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and St. Charles County are represented in our student body. 

Extracurricular Activities

Lucky Lane offers parents the opportunity to register children for a gymnastics class during the day for an additional fee. This program is operated through Hi-NRG Gymnastics. Coaches come to our campus to run the program on-site and work with students on skills such as balance, tumbling, and agility.

Preparing your child for the rest of their life

Our teachers provide a nurturing and creative environment designed to hone your child’s social skills, fine/gross motor abilities, and the academic proficiency needed for elementary school preparation.
