The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery is a mid-sized nonprofit based in St. Louis, Missouri, operating to prevent child abuse and neglect. It provides a safe, around-the-clock emergency space for children and families in crisis, with short-term, voluntary stays at five nursery sites at no charge. While in care, children receive medical exams, nutritious meals, trauma-informed support, and essential take-home supplies, and parents access crisis counseling, in-home visits, and education through Family Empowerment Centers. The organization has operated for four decades and has cared for more than 136,000 children since 1986.

It serves families across the greater St. Louis region, including nearby areas such as St. Charles and Southern Illinois, and functions as an independent not-for-profit agency. Recent governance changes have included appointments to its board and advisory board between 2021 and 2023, reflecting ongoing organizational development. The Crisis Nursery maintains year-round operations, providing 24/7 care to support family stability in crisis.
