At Monday night's Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen meeting, the board passed a special use permit and preliminary development plan for Hope Montessori Academy, a childcare center, which includes an outdoor play area and lighted soccer field.

The 5.55 acre lot north of Feise Road, east of Henke Road and west of Hanley Road is adjacent to Andrews Academy.

The Hope Educational & Research Center, which operates Andrews Academy, has been also been operating a Montessori school in the old Living Lord Lutheran Church site on Lake Saint Louis Boulevard. The Center plans to move that Montessori school to the new site.

The site plan gained P&Z approval with the request that the soccer field lights not be used after 10 p.m.
