“Staff is kind, caring and genuinely excited to connect with the kids, and I don't see that limited from just the kids in their own rooms. Every staff member gets to know your child and has a relationship with them that continues to grow, which is great to see. The activities throughout the day are engaging and fun, and challenge the growth and learning for each kid. I have been very impressed with the leadership staff - they are engaged, organized and work as a well-oiled machine with effective execution. If there are issues or concerns, or something didn't go quite as plan, they implement solutions in a timely matter with follow-up communication to everyone involved. The appreciation shown for their families and kids is ongoing - and the planned events are well put together and very fun for everyone. I have been very happy with the switch we've made to Primrose, and appreciate the experience we've had so far!”

“My son’s teachers are amazing. He loves being there. He learns a lot and I love how he’s learning a different language. I can’t wait to see transition and how well he starts to speak Spanish and full sentences. He most definitely loves his teachers Delia Rivera and Jessica Luna. I love that he is comfortable with them and it makes it very easy on me to know that he is cared for the way that I need him to be while I’m at work. Thank you guys so much.”

“I do not have enough words to articulate my love for this educational facility. I have my 3 year old and 8 month old attending Primrose. This is not your normal “daycare center”. From the moment that you walk in the difference is clear. The facility is clean and updated. The toys, training materials, and playground is updated, new, and feels high end. Now for the most important part… the staff! All staff I have interacted with here represent professionalism, kindness, understanding, and overall exceed expectations. The other day, I was struggling with mom life and required an additional set of arms. My daughter refused to take off her shoes to enter the infant room and insisted on wearing sanitary booties as an alternative. Chef Tracy was delivering breakfast and witnessed my struggles. He came to my rescue and assisted in helping my daughter finagle these surgical boots on over her shoes. I don’t believe that is in his job description but neverless he was there to help. Her teachers, Ms. Kianna and Ms. Namu have consistently helped in making the morning transition of saying goodbye easier by tasking my daughter with various roles. This helps out more than they will ever know. This is a fun, safe, exceptional learning institution and I would implore anyone looking for childcare to look no further. Thank you, Primrose family for the exceptional care and environment that you provide for my children!”
“It's spendy, but seems worth it in my opinion. You get great communication, daily reports, daily pics/videos of your kid doing fun things, child development, meals, cleanliness, involved teachers, and more things I'm not thinking of at the moment. Price is the only "downside" that I can think of if you can even call it a downside. IMO teachers deserve way more money than they currently receive in this country, and I imagine that a decent chunk of our spendy price goes to them, and I'm OK with that! If/when we have another child, they WILL BE going to Goddard as well. Hope this helps! :)”

“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 absolutely love Neighborhood Children's House. I am thrilled a neighbor suggested it for our kids.Teachers Alison, Eleanor and Cathan are patient, kind, inclusive, supportive, FUN! and diligent. The curriculum is amazing. It's age appropriate at every turn, they include music, sign language, music WITH sign language and monthly themes. Not to mention a handful of special events throughout the year to bring parents into the classroom as well.Our kids, like most, were attached and apprehensive about school. Now that they've completed their first year at NCH, they don't understand why they can't go in the summer. ?I highly recommend this preschool. They offer part time, half day options in the morning and the evening. It's affordable and it's established. You won't regret reaching out to take a tour.”

“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.”
“I am very thankful that we chose Family Child Development Center for our boys. They LOVE their teachers! I think the communication with parents is excellent and I really appreciate how invested each teacher is with using the app, sending newsletters, and sharing all of the fun things the kids do during the day. I also really like the opportunities for parents to connect with each other through the PALS committee events. FCDC is the best!”

“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!”

“As a current employee & parent of a child in infant 2, I can honestly say this is the best, most safest & most comfortable daycare I have worked at & put my son into. Allison goes above & beyond for her employees as well as the AD Sammy! ? My son has been going to Lil Explorers since he was 4 months old & anytime I had a misunderstanding the infant teachers were very understanding & accommodated anything I needed! I highly recommend working here & bringing your child! ? It doesn’t feel like a job but a family & I love coming in! As well as my son loves all teachers in the infant room! ”
“Evergreen Montessori was instrumental in preparing my son for kindergarten. He’s now almost 16 and we still think of Evergreen often. Allison and Sharon were so amazing with Tommy and the other students. We’ll forever cherish Evergreen.”

“We love Little Newtons for our toddler :) We started here in January 2024 when our son was 10 months old in their infant program. We then decided to try out a Montessori school for him that was not a good fit. We were happy to return to Little Newtons with our son now in the toddler program and have had a great experience. I would absolutely recommend Little Newtons Champlin for their kind and inclusive staff who take the time to get to know our child.”

“Our children have had a wonderful experience at TGS Minneapolis. It’s been a pleasure watching them develop and grow, and we owe a big credit to the program and community at TGS for all of their support. We appreciate Kari, Nat and the great team of caring teachers they have.”
“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 love Kindercare Champlin! The teachers all take great care of our baby and he loves his daycare time. They help him explore and make cute crafts. Everyone is friendly and they do a great job of keeping his daily report updated and posting fun pics of our boy. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and fun daycare!”
“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 love this center! The staff are always so friendly every time I have to pick up my nieces. Anytime I hear of someone who is looking for care I always send them to the Armatage location!”
“Such a wonderful place!! I have to say they are the nicest people I’ve ever had communication with!! Didn’t judge and were more than willing to help and support. They listened to my needs and went beyond what I had expected!!! Please if you need help, reach out to this establishment!!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Only wonderful things! It is an older building, but it is such a home like feeling. Doesn't give you that care center like feel. We love the chapel time they have. It is so fun for them! This is what I would call a "hidden gem"”

“Our experience with Lil Explorers has been very positive thus far throughout the registration process and our 3 month old's first few days in the infant room. Nicole was very helpful with registration, getting us acclimated to how things work and giving us peace of mind as first time parents. McKenzie, Ivory and all the ladies in infant room have been fantastic giving us assurance he is in good hands. All the other infants seem happy and engaged the times we have visited. Very clean, organized and strong process making things convenient. We appreciate you all!”
“My daughter was having kind of hard time at her old daycare in regards to eating and napping. She is in the pre K room and so far I noticed that this has not been much of an issue here and is eating a lot of variety food. She also seems to like her new environment in general. Drop offs has been a breeze, with no whining.My son also seems to love it there and the teachers communicate with me with any behavior problems because they know I want to stay on top of it. Overall I love the change and the engagement with the teachers and wonderful directors.”
