“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.”

“The nicest and most caring staff! Many of the staff members have been working there for many years, which contributes to the feeling of a second home for our children. My children love HNCCCC, and it has been an amazing experience for our family.”
“The teachers in the infant room consistently go above and beyond for my child. They are so communicative and easy to work with. I appreciate all of the cute arts and crafts they send home and can tell that my child is genuinely loved and cared for. Little folks being a small business makes it so that Steph, the owner, knows all of the kids by name and is so willing to be flexible and meet the needs of your family. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for child care!”

“We have three girls – 2 ½-year-old twins and a five-month-old infant who attend Casa de Corazón Kingfield. We’re consistently impressed with their experience at school. The teachers are trained in early childhood education and take the time to prepare activities and learning modules for the children. Meals are healthy, and the children receive plenty of exercise and outside time. Finally, we are happy with how the school and teachers prioritize the safety of our children. The activities are safe, and the school has been upfront and transparent in the rare instance that one of our girls gets hurt.Our three girls love attending daycare, connecting with their classmates, and learning Spanish in an immersive environment. We highly recommend Casa de Corazón Kingfield!”
“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.”
“What a wonderful school. Their whole goal is to have the kids learn how to learn in a joyful way and prepare them for kindergarten. The teachers are phenomenal and most have been at the school for many years. Many families have had multiple kids come through Grace and are active in the school community, and we plan to be one of those families.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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!!”

“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.”
“My daughter has attended here for two years now, and we love it. She gets excited to go every day. The staff are great, and I love getting pictures and updates through out the day!”
“The teachers at this center are kind, loving + compassionate about my children and their well being. I know they are in safe hands with the leaders + assistants of their rooms. Lessons are age appropriate help prepare my children for the next steps in their education journey.”
“My daughter attended for the first time this year, we absolutely love Peace. We can tell the teachers care about the students & make sure they’re all involved with what they’re learning. We can tell our daughter has learned so much attending here & always tells us how much she loves school!!”
“We’ve used this KinderCare family since our daughter was 4 months old. We were very nervous as this is our first child amidst the pandemic. I cannot say enough on how appreciative we are for this experience. We get photos and messages daily through the app to see what our little peanut is up to. It really made the transition into daycare a wonderful and happy experience. We are able to see her grow and learn. There is a strong sense that they truly care and that is apparent in all of my interactions with the staff. Miss Jamie, Miss Jen, Miss Susanna and Miss Deb are now apart of our daughter’s tribe. We couldn’t be more pleased on the wonderful and positive people that our child is around. I would and have recommend this location to anyone. So much more than “child care”. Our experience has truly been fantastic and we look forward to continue the years through this learning center.”

“Today was my daughter's last day with Compass. It was a pretty emotional day for both of us. She'd been going there for a few years and loved it. I can't say that it was always perfect, but I can say that on the few occasions there was an issue, I felt heard and was helped. The staff are so caring and the owners truly care that each person's experience is positive. The sense of community is fantastic. The celebrations, the ways they reach out during difficult times, and the effort they put into relationships is unparalleled. I am sad that this chapter is over, but so blessed to have found such a wonderful place for my daughter to learn and grow. I wish you all the best!”
“We switched to DCLC in February of 2023 after spending (wasting) our time with a overpriced, franchise center. The moment we met the preschool teachers, Sammy and Tabby, we knew this was the place for our family. Our daughter is pumped up every day to go and play/learn with her peers. The teachers are exceptional. We absolutely love and trust them 100%. They all lead withcompassion and it shows in the happiness of the kids.They have the best communication and always keep us in the loop. We are so happy to be apart of the DCLC family.”
