Affton asked for a joint program with Lindbergh since its original preschool location had no more room to expand, while Truman Middle was not in use at the time. The program moved to the Concord school building in 1996, remaining there when Lindbergh's preschool separated. it is now located next to Lindbergh High School.[30]
  • ECE West (Sunset Hills) - adjacent to Truman Middle School, it began housing half-day preschool classes in August 2015[22][30]
