“I attended this daycare when I was 4. Some of my first memories happened here and they were pleasant. That was back in the mid 80's.

Now I have a 4 year old in daycare, and he loves it too.

I'm glad the daycare center is still there.”

“We have loved our experience at the Gardner School! Our son Jaxon has thrived in his educational experience there and his wonderful teachers we have loved along the way! Prior to the Gardner school, I was basically home full time with Jaxon outside of him spending time with family on occasion and lifetime daycare a couple of times a week! The moment he stepped into the classroom full time as a toddler, it was amazing to see how quickly he adapted and learned the day to day structure of the classroom among his friends and peers! 3 years later Jaxon continues to love learning and school each and every day! Our experience there makes us very confident going into Kindergarten next year and knowing he has had a very strong foundation from his PreK years! We recommend Gardner to any family looking for the best experience for their children. Thank you for everything Gardner school and staff! We will miss you!”

“We have nothing but good things to say about this place and the people working in it. Our kids have thrived over the years we have been here. They have learned so much thanks to the amazing staff!”

“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!”

“When my family moved to Minneapolis, the person we bought our house from mentioned that many neighborhood families attended Grace. So I scheduled a tour and was drawn in by the creative and nurturing environments and ways in which they incorporate various early childhood philosophies into their program.

My son attended for two years - a pandemic baby, he had no previous experience in care outside the home. Every teacher was incredible and quickly became a beloved household name.

We utilized the available bus transportation, it was always reliable and made our three-kid morning routine possible. During my son’s last year there we also enrolled him in enrichment programming, which connected him to a larger Grace community as well as the neighborhood and larger Minneapolis community. The Poet-in-Residence experiences created a playful, positive connection to early literacy.

My family is neurodivergent and we were still figuring out how my son’s body and brain work while at Grace. The gentle, calm-but-consistent, and individualized guidance and support provided by his primary teacher and all staff provided an unconditionally safe and welcoming environment for him. Most importantly, my son experienced the joy of learning through play every single day.

Now successfully in Kindergarten, we still have play dates with dear Grace friends including a kiddo my son initially had a lot of conflict with - they were able to work through it thanks to the classroom community and social emotional skills they learned there. How amazing is that?!”

“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.”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Little Folks! The staff is incredibly welcoming, communication is clear and consistent, and it’s obvious they truly care about the children and the families they serve. Our daughter very clearly loves her teachers, lighting up at the mention of their names. We feel so grateful to be part of such a caring environment.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our nearly 3 year old son has been at Jardin since he was six months old, and has thrived there every step of the way thanks to the incredible care, kindness, and thoughtfulness of the staff and teachers. We are grateful each day for the expertise and love Maestra Liz, Maestra Abi, and Maestra Claudia bring to his toddler experience-- and Angela greets him every single day as he heads to his classroom! The community here at Jardin Longfellow is nurturing and beautiful.”

“We had three kids at CKA Minnetonka over the last 5 years and had a wonderful experience. The kids loved going to daycare every day to see their friends and teachers. The environment is fun and engaging - water days, bounce house, and yoga were some of the favorite activities. The staff is caring and supportive of each child’s development. We really valued the experience our kids had at CKA.”

“My toddler has been going to Brittany for a few months and she absolutely loves it! They take such good care of my baby. Great price for the quality of care! We are excited everyday for daycare now! Couldn’t say enough great things about Brittany’s Bright Beginnings!!”

“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!”

“could not recommend CKA maple grove enough!! I drop my kids off knowing they’re in the best care and it’s clear with the bonds they’ve created with they’re teachers. Iam so grateful for the dedication and love the staff has provided and shown to our family. They truly love the kids.”

“My 2 children attended Foundation Hill from age 4 months to 5 years old. The quality of care, cleanliness, and education provided has been amazing. Cannot say enough good things about the teachers, management, facilities. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Our kiddo has been at Goddard for almost two years now and we absolutely love it. He asks for his teachers all the time, has made the best friends and you can feel the care and love they put into each and every one of their students. He not only knows his teachers, but he knows all the administrative staff too, as do we. I couldn't recommend this place more for your kiddos!”

“This is truly an amazing preschool! We have sent two kids here and couldn't be happier with the program. The teachers are so warm, welcoming and truly love on your child from the moment they walk through the door. They do a wonderful job of incorporating crafts, reading, music, math, social/emotional lessons, gross motor play (indoor/outdoor), fun science and a sweet age appropriate introduction to Jesus! All the kids seem happy and grow so much socially, emotionally and academically over their time here. You will not be disappointed sending your child to All Saints! Our family highly recommends it.”

“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!”

“We had such an excellent time at LHUMP. Our daughter loved her teachers and the whole staff. She was excited to go every day, growing and learning so much. The program and the love that everyone showed prepared her perfectly for Kindergarten. The community is also lovely as others have mentioned.”

“My 6 month old started a month or so ago. The director and teachers have done a great job getting my daughter adjusted. The communication has been great as well. I also appreciate the activities they do with the babies.”

“We have two kids at MACC and we are so glad to be a part of the community. Amazing teachers and wonderful staff who truly care about each and every kid. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

“We chose this school after having visited several daycares in the area and not being fully convinced. They were actually recommended by several friends, including someone we know at the Minneapolis Public Schools. We're so glad we made this choice for our now 15-month old. We love this school, from the professionalism and warmth of the director, Chloe, to the kind assistant director, Cedric, to the wonderful class teachers of the infant classrooms, especially the class that our son is in (Ms. Carma is truly a gifted caregiver, and we're so fortunate that our son is in her care every day). The activities that our son engages in, the art he brings home, the regular updates, photos and videos that they share every day, as well as their individualised feedback on his development and needs have been so valuable. We've also been impressed with how easily they were able to support our son transition from being a challenging contact napper and a fussy eater to putting himself to sleep in his crib (after just ONE day) and joining his friends for meals (improved at home too). They're also incredibly flexible and the longer evening hours have been useful when we've needed it. We wish we'd known about this school for our older boy. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Yellow Brick Road has been an absolute blessing for our family. Finding a daycare you trust is hard—but finding one where your child truly thrives is priceless.

One of my children is autistic, and the growth we’ve seen since starting here has been incredible. The patience, understanding, and genuine care shown by the staff has helped my child feel safe, confident, and supported in ways I can’t fully put into words. They meet my child where they are and help them shine—and that means everything to me as a parent.

I want to give special shout-outs to Brycelyn, Jess, Leeza, Jasmine, and Nia. These women are amazing. They are compassionate, attentive, and truly invested in the kids. You can tell this isn’t “just a job” to them—they love what they do, and it shows every single day.

Knowing my kids are loved, understood, and cared for makes going to work so much easier. I am endlessly grateful for this team and cannot recommend Yellow Brick Road enough.”

“We have had such a wonderful experience with Peace Lutheran Preschool!

The teachers are incredibly invested in getting to know each child and do such a great job encouraging and supporting them. The atmosphere is always positive and welcoming. Communication has been excellent, and the activities/lessons are thoughtful, engaging, and well planned.

There are also so many fun “extra” events throughout the year that create really special memories for both the kids and families. Everything is very well organized, and having the calendar of events for the entire year at the beginning of the school year makes planning around work and family schedules easier!

We would absolutely recommend this preschool to other families!”

“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.”

“The teachers are very compassionate, and warm. My son is of color and the only one that looks like him in the class, so I was a little concerned, he may be treated differently. Nope he fit right in. The teachers and students are very friendly. I love they work on character building with him. Teaching him to share and be polite. The teachers are very patient, and engaging. Meaning my son is actually learning while he is in their care. Compared to the daycare center we left, this is by far the best . I couldn't be more happier. I feel my son is getting the early learning tools he needs to succeed beyond early childcare. I believe Primrose is setting my child up for success. Each day I look at the progress notes, I'm honored to see all the engaging hands on activities the students are working on. I can't lie I brag about this school to others who are looking for a well rounded good education for their child. Oh, thank you for healthy meals. My son comes home counting, and singing songs he learned, and practices being nice, sharing and kind. My son is excelling and I couldn't be more enthusiastic about it. We read everyday at home for 15-30 minutes per Day, so to see teachers actually reading to the students just warms my heart. My son loves to read and loves going to school. He is slowly warming up. Thank you all for your honest communication with me. At our last daycare my son was continuously getting hit, kicked or bitten, he still has the bite marks on his upper arms. Yet, here at Primrose we have had zero instances. I love that the teachers emphasize character building, it's truly helping my son. He is no longer scared to go to school. What I like most about this school, is they are very welcoming This school is the BEST. May God bless you all for the great work you do with these young children, shaping young minds, preparing our future.

Thank you Mrs. Neekpoo and Mrs. Sylvia”

“We really appreciate the administration and staff at Messiah. All great people who do a great job to run the school and church. They helped us navigate our child in preschool with love and empathy. Keep up the good work!”

“My daughter has been going to Maple Grove Kinder Care since she was an infant, and is still here she is 4 now.
There has been some changes over the years but in this present day our Center Director Luisa has done an amazing job in turning things around.
If you are thinking of bringing your child here to learn and grow, DO IT ! ❤️”
