Helping children reach their full potential
Since 1964, Countryside Montessori School has maintained its commitment to
educating the whole child in a warm, loving, nurturing Montessori envi ronment, helping
children reach their full potential as independent, lifelong learn ers. In 2012, Countryside
earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children
[NAEYC], the nation’s leading organization
of early childhood professionals.
“We’re proud to have earned the mark of
quality from NAEYC and to be recognized
for our commitment to reaching the
highest professional standards,” said
Jenifer Hanser, director of Countryside
Montessori School and mother of six.
“NAEYC accreditation lets families in our
community know that children in our
program are getting the best care and
early learning experiences possible.”
The Montessori phi losophy is founded on respect for and awareness of the individuality
of the child. Countryside’s classrooms feature a wide range of materials and exercises
in the areas of practical life, sensorial, mathematics, geography, language and science.
Lessons in music and art also are offered.
The expansive grounds showcase a new trike path and dramatic play area along with
a natural playground and majestic trees – a perfect atmosphere for free play, swinging,
climbing and sliding – and a fenced corral for the resident ponies.
Countryside of fers half-day, full-day and extended-day programs for children ages 8
weeks through kindergarten, plus Mom’s Day Out, toddler, preschool, kindergarten and
summer camp programs.
“Seeing a child with confidence and self-esteem is truly rewarding,” Jenifer said. “To
touch so many young children and to know Countryside has helped nurture them into
life-long learners – there is no better feeling.”

A service-oriented approach
For both home and business owners, maintaining concrete surfaces like driveways,
patios and pool decks “may not be the most glamorous job on your list, but it will
definitely help you avoid costly repairs and replacements down the road,” according
to Jerry Loosmore of JL Concrete Sealing &
Caulking.
After more than 20 years of experience on concrete
projects, Jerry started his own company three
years ago because he saw a better, more serviceoriented
way to approach concrete maintenance,
he explained. That’s why Jerry works on every job
Before
After
personally, using only time-tested, high-quality
sealing materials and the best caulk product on the
market.
As its name says, JL Concrete Sealing & Caulking
works to extend the life and greatly improve the
appearance of concrete surfaces by caulking
between joints and slabs and then sealing them
against the effects of time, traffic and Missouri’s
wide weather variations. The company’s services
also include grinding and filling any existing cracks
prior to sealing.
The sealing process helps to restore the original
color and luster of decorative, aggregate and other concrete surfaces while protecting
them from wear. In most circumstances, sealant will last a minimum of three years, Jerry
said.
He emphasized that customer service excellence is the company’s highest priority. “I
treat every job like it’s my own home, my
own driveway, and I probably want it to
look better when we’re finished than the
homeowner does,” Jerry said.
He encourages West County residents and
business owners to contact him by phone or
email for a free estimate.
