Presenting Sponsor: Kiddie Academy
Our 2021 Hanging with Heroes event is brought to you by Kiddie Academy! With three locations across the St. Louis metro area, learning happens every day and in unexpected ways at Kiddie Academy (available from birth through kindergarten). They lean heavily on their Life Essentials philosophy, which begins with the natural curiosity present in every child. By focusing on elements fundamental to a child’s growth – character education, STEM-infused technology and health and fitness experiences – they nurture and build upon inquisitiveness, creating momentum for learning that doesn’t stop once the child leaves their classroom.
Superheroes and Princesses Sponsor: Dream Time Princess Events
We’re excited to partner with Dream Time Princess Events for an afternoon of family fun!

12 of their characters will be in attendance to mingle with families and take photos with your children!
