Schools in Rochester, MN

“I started to send my son to daycare when he was eleven and half months. He was very unhappy and cried a lot at the beginning. The teachers are nice and very helpful to help comforting my son when I drop him off in the morning. All the other teachers are very friendly too. My son starts to enjoy and be happy to go to daycare after one month.”

“I really like the people who work here. I feel that my daughter is learning a lot. The directors at this center are great at communicating with all of the parents. If you send them a message they get back to you really quick. The only thing have to say that is neg. about this daycare, would be that they need to work on is being better on putting information into their daily sheets. I feel that they miss putting in nap times, what they had for meals ect..... This center overall is great!!! I would recommended it to anyone :)”

“This is hands down the BEST daycare in Rochester! My husband and I are new parents and were hesitant to start a daycare. We were initially under the impression that our baby staying home with us was the best care that he could receive. That was until he started going to Primrose!The Montessori education is top notch and my husband and I are learning baby sign language and mimicking the same hands-on learning activities at home because they are so great for baby's development.The engagement and enthusiasm of the Director, teachers and staff with the children is AMAZING and everything you would want your baby or child to experience. The teachers (Ms. Kidd, Ms, Franklin, Ms. Christenson) in the Infant classroom are everyday wonder women! They love the children so much and provide numerous daily report outs of all of the activities, meals, etc. - with pictures and videos too!Whether it was coordinating an enrollment date with Terra, preboarding/onboarding with the Director, Jen, or checking-in daily with Jamie and Jessica, the Primrose team has been kind, supportive, knowledgeable, extremely professional, and understanding of us as new parents. We are SO THANKFUL that our baby is at Primrose - WE LOVE IT!!”

“We are from Utah and moved here recently. My daughter was in in-home care and she dreaded going everyday (she's 3), and would cry hysterically the whole way there.Since she has gone here we've noticed a complete turnaround in her attitude and overall happiness. I love the teachers and principal so far. Would recommend!”

“The best! Trustworthy and kind staff who we trust and our child loves! They go above and beyond. Our child has learned so much in her classrooms, including incredible manners and ability to play extremely well with others. 10/10 recommend!”

“My family was with EJCC for a year and a half. We come from a queer, mixed race family and were anxious about it when initially looking for a daycare, but once we found Endless, they made us feel welcomed and took care of our daughter as their own. I'd recommend them to anyone in the Rochester area that asks. The teachers were truly kind and patient, and would do anything for the children in their care.”

“They're amazing. Flexible. So kind and nice. My kids are learning so much there. I got not 1 bad thing I can claim about them. They're just amazing. If possible, make this your daycare!”

“The staff are amazing and genuinely truly care about all of the kiddos there. They do alot of early learning and it has been a blessing because my 3 year old starts preschool in the fall and he knows so much already and hasn’t even started preschool yet!”

“First let me say, I am not sure who the poor soul is that wrote the previous review I read about Meadow Park. His statements are so ludicrous and can't be further from the truth. I think that person has some serious issues beyond childcare.:) To say airy and regimented and not feeling cozy is absolutely absurd .We have had our kids at MPPCCC for over 5 years. we have friends and babysitters who have also attended and loved Meadow Park when they were there. We have recommended this preschool beyond just our friends and family and have also told co workers and neighbors. We feel so blessed that such a preschool even exists in our area. It is definitely one of Rochester's BEST KEPT secrets. It is affordable, flexible and from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, you will recognize the high standard of care and curriculum that your child receives. My kids received one on one instruction, music, crafts, baking, playing, drama and interaction with other children on a consistent basis. This place is like a second family to my kids and we could not have picked a better place for them to have gone for preschool. Meadow Park built a strong foundation of learning and instilled a love of life in each of my kids lives. I am forever in debt to the love and care that the teachers and staff gave to each of my kids. They have thrived in Elementary school with all core subjects of learning and are ahead of peers in reading and writing since day one of Kindergarten. We attribute that to the care and quality of teaching they received at MPPCCC. Thank you meadow park for raising the standard of learning beyond ordinary preschools in our area.”

“We have sent our daughter here for two years and our other daughter will start next year! The staff is absolutely incredible and there are so many great options for different classes and times etc. We mixed and matched with some of the regular preschool class and the enrichments - Discovering Gods World and the Art class. We also appreciate the early drop off and late pick up options. We love all the things they get to do - crafts, play outside on the playground and in the gym, learn about God, other preschool learning, and lots of other fun/special days, field trips and events! And even the simple things like walking in the door in the morning - the kids are always met with a very cheerful greeting by name to welcome them inside. Our daughter has just absolutely LOVED her time there and our youngest is very excited to go next year! As a parent it’s the best feeling knowing your kids love their school and that it’s a place you can fully trust. I can’t say enough good things about Kingdom Kids and the staff - they are simply the best!”

“My daughter started at KinderCare when she was an infant and went there until she started school in the fall 2023. She loved making new friends and bonding with all the teachers that have to taught her through her time at KinderCare. She loved all the different activities that she got to do at KinderCare with her teacher and friends that involved the curriculum that was being taught. She will be returning in the summer to make new friends and see her old friends.”

“All three of my children have attended Aldrich. It feels like our second home. We feel like we are part of a community having gone there. We have made some life long friends there and they have fostered a love for learning with my children. My kindergartener and 2nd grader love to come back and visit the school to see the school and the teachers.”

“RCLS has been such a blessing to our family. 4 years ago we visited multiple schools for our "Kindergartner to-be." Each school had pros and cons. It wasn't until we visited RCLS that we felt confident in our decision. We quickly learned how beneficial it was to have fewer students in each classroom compared to the public schools we visited. Our daughter ended up needing a bit more help with attention/focus and adjusting to the classroom setting. Her teacher poured her heart and energy into helping her succeed. She has since had 4 wonderful teachers who have helped tremendously! Our son started in the early education program and is now in Kindergarten. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about this school, the staff & the community!”

“I attended this day care when I was a young child; four and five years old, in 1974. No offence to those who wrote the first and third reviews, but I have very fond memories of the place. The teachers were loving and had one-on-one relationships with the kids, and I remember sitting on their laps, etc. I had previously been to a cold and regimented daycare, but once I got transferred here, things improved. Naptime was very relaxing for me. I rarely slept, but would lie quietly on my back and listen to the records that were being played on the record player. I hope the place is just as good now as it was in 1974. My one hope is that the teachers are now on first-name basis with the kids. When I was there, they weren't (the teachers at the other daycare weren't either).”
