“DCLC is a wonderful center who cares deeply for all of the kids! They keep you updated in the app, always have lots of fun activities planned, and I am so surprised by how much my toddler has learned by being there! He comes home singing the ABCs and lots of songs!”

“The teachers and staff at Rayito are amazing! We have been really pleased with our experience with both of our kids over the last three years! Maestra Diana, Jazmin, Mirka, Jacqueline, Delia, Yannaly and so many more have all been amazing to our children and we love the community that the teachers and staff have created at the center!”

“We know Small World had some bad actors in the past. We’ve been at Small world for well over a year now and this place is unreal. We believe in second chances. None of the people that you read about in the news are around anymore. Small World is a safe and loving environment for our two littles. From Carrie to the teachers in each classroom. We love SW and all they do for our kids.”

“We send both our kids to New Horizon Academy in Arden Hills and we love it. Our older one has been here for 2 years and our younger one just hit 6 months, and we couldn't be happier with both experiences. Manda, Sarah, and all the other teachers are amazing and can tell they genuinely care about every child. Drop-off is always easy, the facility is clean, and we always feel like our kids are in great hands. Communication from the staff is top notch and we always know what's going on. So glad we found this place. Highly recommend to any family in the area.”

“We’ve had a great experience with this preschool. The teachers are excellent; very caring and easy to work with and our son genuinely enjoys going every day.

We’ve noticed he’s learning a lot, which has been awesome to see. They do a nice job planning things out month to month and the communication with the parents is very strong. We always feel like we know what’s going on, and the conferences are very helpful in keeping you informed on your child’s progress.

Overall, it’s been a really positive experience for our family, and we’d definitely recommend it.”

“Our first year here, and it’s truly been a wonderful experience! All of the staff members are so kind- but I’ll give a special shoutout to Mrs. Heather. She’s so good with our child and she’s really easy to talk to. I can tell how much she cares about her kiddos. We will definitely be sticking here!”

“HNCCCC is simply the best. My son (4) and daughter (2) have attended since they were young infants. We’ve enjoyed the teachers every step of the way. They have continually provided a safe and caring environment for the kids to thrive in.”

“We recently moved and our 3yo transferred from another Kindercare. The director at Arden Hills, Jen, was fantastic to work with through our transition. We even came on a weekend with our little one and she gave the three of us a tour of the classrooms so he would feel comfortable. His teachers have been incredibly engaged and we don't see the same issues with turnover as his previous center (one of his teachers has been there for decades!). Incredibly dedicated and warm staff.”

“This school has been fantastic for family (just finishing the fourth year of one of our kids going there, starting a 5th year in the fall). Not only are the teachers wonderful and thoughtful, but the cooperative model has really expanded our social network and given us a great view into the fun the kids have in the classroom (because we volunteer in the classroom around once a month).If the model of this school matches your needs (co-op, part-time), and you're live in the area, then I think you'd be making a wonderful choice bringing your kid here.”

“We have three kids ages 3 to 12, so we've been in the daycare game for a while. Our older two attended two different daycares, so we have some points of comparison. While we loved the daycares our older kids attended, we have been even more happy with Shoreview KinderCare, where our youngest has been since he was 12 weeks old. We love that this center is smaller and more personal and "family-like" in nature. There are a number of staff/teachers who have been with the center for significant periods of time (10+ years), which always speaks volumes. Really one of the most significant advantages I have experienced at Shoreview KinderCare is the quality and attitude of the staff. They are all so pleasant, and clearly all enjoy their jobs and love the children. This isn't always the case in child care centers, where the work can be challenging, and there is often a lot of turnover in staff. The administration and staff at this center have fostered an incredibly welcoming and positive environment for both the kids and each other, and I'm so happy our son gets to spend his days there.”

“I donated a 20 year old car in February 2024. The process was fast and easy and the people at Newgate (I worked mostly with Casey) were friendly and helpful. Over the years I've donated two other cars to charity and my experience with Newgate has been far and away the best. One of the other charities did not register the title change and a couple months after the donation I was called by the Stillwater Police saying my car had been abandoned there. The second time the person that came to tow the car was a subcontractor and not part of the charity and was reluctant to sign the title transfer. Once again, Newgate has been the best and easiest and most efficient way to donate a car. Also the tow truck driver called ahead about 15 minutes before showing up and had the car loaded and was gone in under 10 minutes. Very impressive.”

“I had the pleasure of enrolling my child at The Goddard School, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was evident that this was more than just a preschool—it was a place where children thrive.they learned each day.The teachers at The Goddard School are dedicated, caring, and highly competent. They create a warm and nurturing environment where children feel. The office staff and the owner always goes extra miles to support enrolling process and answer questions.What I love most is the Tadpoles app where I stay connected with my daughter journey, seeing the precious moments of her her day captured in photos is reassuring and joyous. If you looking for a stress free preschool then you might need to consider The Goddard school!”

“Our daughter has attended Evergreen for the past 2 years and we highly recommend this amazing learning center. The staff is incredibly kind and communicative. We love the app that they use. Getting updates throughout the day as to what they are up to is very comforting. Our daughter is beyond ready for kindergarten and is already reading! We are so grateful we found Evergreen!”

“Such a fantastic preschool! The staff are so lovely and attuned to the kids (and most have worked there for many years). The space is simple but perfectly set up for 3- to 5-year-olds. Even if you aren’t looking for an immersion program, you should strongly consider Kinderstube. (And if you are, then you’re in luck!) We have sent two kiddos here, and they both adore it. We do too!”

“I have sent all three of my children here from infant all the way to pre-k. During that time I have been able to see this center go thru many changes especially during Covid, and can truly say that I know the staff care about the children. They are constantly improving for the better and really interact with parents to be on the same page when it comes to the children. I couldn't ask for anything better!!”

“I was a part-time student at The Atelier from 2001 until I left Minneapolis in 2017. The Classical Realism instruction for artists is world class and has produced many exceptionally skilled painters. For passionate artists who desire classical, academic training, this is the school for you.”

“In the year and a half that our child has been at southwest, the center director, Ms. Brenda, has become a part of our family. We trust her and deeply appreciate the care and communication she provides our family. Ms Casey and Ms Jamie are especially wonderful teachers. The biggest priority for a parent sending their baby to school is for them to be safe and loved and we’ve found that in Ms. Brenda.”

“The teachers are incredibly caring and make you feel comfortable leaving your child in their care. Our child started at 5.5 months, and the teachers immediately put us at ease. Now, our child squeals with excitement upon entering the building, knowing he’s about to have a great time there.”

“I toured about 6 daycares feeling so worried about picking the right place for my 5 month old baby. I instantly felt at ease after touring Primrose. The staff seemed happy and greeted me warmly in the infant room. Now that he is there, whenever we drop off or pick up our son every staff member has been warm and genuinely interested in getting to know us and our family dynamics. Communication is easy through the app. Prices are reasonable compared to some of the other centers in the area. The center is SO CLEAN. In many of the pictures I get through the app my little guy is smiling!! We have to leave because we are moving, and I am quite sad about trying to find a daycare as great as this one. Thank you guys!”

“We have had a truly wonderful experience at Mandala. The staff are warm, consistent, and go above and beyond to really know each child as an individual and support what they need to succeed. Communication with teachers and leadership has been outstanding: thoughtful, responsive, and transparent. This has made us feel very connected and supported as parents.

What has stood out most is the sense of belonging they create. My child struggles with transitions, and I have never seen him love a school the way he loves Mandala. He feels genuinely welcomed, safe, and known there, which has meant the world to our family.

The community events Mandala hosts create meaningful opportunities not just for the children to connect, but for parents to build relationships as well. It truly feels like a caring, intentional community rather than just a school.

We are deeply grateful for the care, professionalism, and heart the Mandala team brings to their work and would highly recommend this school to any family looking for a warm, child-centered environment.”

“I recently relocated to the Twin Cities and was heartbroken to take my daughter out of a school she loved. Thankfully we soon found Saint Mark’s preschool. The teachers are invested in the well being of the children and they very quickly put me at ease with her placement. I encourage you to consider Saint Mark’s for your child’s early and completely recommend this school.”

“We love CKA Mounds View for both of our boys! I’m always so blown away by the amount of creative activities and outdoor time that our boys get to participate in. The staff is warm and inviting, and for the first time in 3 years of daycare, our boys are excited to go into their classrooms without any tears! It puts my mind at ease knowing my boys are receiving the best possible care while my husband and I are working. Would highly recommend to any family looking for quality care for their littles.”
