“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.”
“I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible care and dedication shown by the teachers. My daughter Tenzin is naturally shy and doesn’t speak much, but after school, she becomes noticeably more talkative and confident. She often surprises us with the new vocabulary and knowledge she brings home each day.
It’s clear that she is growing intellectually and emotionally, and much of that credit goes to the nurturing and respectful environment created at school. The teachers are always gentle, compassionate, and polite with the children, which makes a big difference.
She truly loves going to school and speaks very fondly of her teachers. At home, she even enjoys pretending to be a teacher herself, which shows just how inspired she is by them.
Thank you for making school a place where she feels happy, safe, and excited to learn.”

“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 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!”

“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!”
“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!!”
“Annie and Jill are passionate, encouraging, incredibly knowledgable, and provide highly personalized experiences even in group settings. Lalainia's sessions challenge practioner's in a body positive and inclusive atmosphere. Every session I have joined has been welcoming, poses \\u0026 flows have been made accessible, and, no matter how I show up, I leave feeling centered and restored.”
“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!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”

“I am the grandma of a child who goes here and my son in law and daughter (name on this account) are so happy here. Their baby is so happy all the time and seems to love it when he goes.”
“Fantastic ELCA Lutheran church! If you grew up Lutheran, moved to the area and are looking for a new church home, this church will feel very familiar to you. If you didn’t grow up ELCA Lutheran, Christ Lutheran has welcoming parishioners and pastoral staff that will make you feel right at home. We like that there is a mix of male and female pastors leading the congregation. Our kids are little, but we are excited by the fact that the kids programming is robust and will last throughout their growing up years. Check out Christ Lutheran - you’ll love it!”
“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.”
