In what should be the least surprising news I share today, I did not attend preschool before I entered elementary school in Missouri. Perhaps I should have as there are some great options among the top 10 rated public preschools in Missouri that all deserve the A they get.

I just saw that Public School Review just shared their 2024 version of the top public preschools in Missouri and it's a who's who among early educators. They rank a total of 556 public preschools, but as a starter, here are their top 10. You won't find a bad school in the bunch.
