“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!”
“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.”

“We send both our kids to New Horizon Academy in Arden Hills and we love it. Our older one has been here for 2 years and our younger one just hit 6 months, and we couldn't be happier with both experiences. Manda, Sarah, and all the other teachers are amazing and can tell they genuinely care about every child. Drop-off is always easy, the facility is clean, and we always feel like our kids are in great hands. Communication from the staff is top notch and we always know what's going on. So glad we found this place. Highly recommend to any family in the area.”
“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.”

“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!”
“We recently moved and our 3yo transferred from another Kindercare. The director at Arden Hills, Jen, was fantastic to work with through our transition. We even came on a weekend with our little one and she gave the three of us a tour of the classrooms so he would feel comfortable. His teachers have been incredibly engaged and we don't see the same issues with turnover as his previous center (one of his teachers has been there for decades!). Incredibly dedicated and warm staff.”

“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.”
“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 would highly recommend this wonderful daycare, we loved it SO much! The whole team is amazing and we felt so reassured and comfortable with our daughter being there, knowing she was safe, having a great time and getting the absolute best care. The staff is so kind and attentive, and they always had great communication. They do such a phenomenal job with extra events too, our daughter looked forward to that so much. Thank you guys for such a wonderful experience during these formative young years for kids- cannot recommend you enough! :)”
“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!!”

“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 toured about 6 daycares feeling so worried about picking the right place for my 5 month old baby. I instantly felt at ease after touring Primrose. The staff seemed happy and greeted me warmly in the infant room. Now that he is there, whenever we drop off or pick up our son every staff member has been warm and genuinely interested in getting to know us and our family dynamics. Communication is easy through the app. Prices are reasonable compared to some of the other centers in the area. The center is SO CLEAN. In many of the pictures I get through the app my little guy is smiling!! We have to leave because we are moving, and I am quite sad about trying to find a daycare as great as this one. Thank you guys!”
“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!”

My child was always happy to go to the center, and was always happy & smiling. The communication between families and parents is great & it is a very warm & welcoming environment.
The learning environment made my child ready for Kindergarten, and helped him excel tremendously over the last few years. The dedication to the children is highly noticed.”

“We have been with the CKA Mounds View family for over 2.5 years with 2 kids starting at 3 months old for each. We love the art, STEM curriculum and most of all how much the girls love going to school every day. We trust the Center and staff to keep our kids safe and learning and very happy with helping us transition to all the infant and toddler firsts.”
“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!”
“As of this July 2025, I have been very happy with Kindercare. My oldest daughter started when she was 1 year old in January of 2024, I was pleased with the staff and the director at the time (Director Ebone and teacher Ms. Kristen). When the director left and a new one stepped in around March that year, things did not go well and I considered leaving when I went on maternity leave in May 2024. However, the regional directors stepped in and turned things around. After being on leave, I started my youngest daughter in September of 2024. While there has been two directors since then... (Ms. Bri and now Ms. Mickela) it is a night and day difference with how the center is run. I can tell my kids are learning things because they share about it at home. There are some veteran staff who are excellent and do amazing with students. And other newer staff that truely love my girls and let me know how they did. One area to improve upon would be the transitions when new staff are hired. There is a big learning curve for them and it is noticeable that when there is a newer staff that the room is messy. Having said that, as a teacher myself, I understand that there are challenges when trying to work with new staff and making sure they have necessary training. Overall, my children are happy, love the staff, and are excited to tell me what they learn. I love when I get pictures of how they are doing on the app. Shout out to Ms. CeCe, Ms. Choua, Ms. Tachena, Ms. Mickela, and Ms. Bre!”
“I recently relocated to the Twin Cities and was heartbroken to take my daughter out of a school she loved. Thankfully we soon found Saint Mark’s preschool. The teachers are invested in the well being of the children and they very quickly put me at ease with her placement. I encourage you to consider Saint Mark’s for your child’s early and completely recommend this school.”
“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 have had an excellent experience with this center over the past eight months, as they consistently provide attentive and personalized care for both of my children. The staff truly go above and beyond to meet each child’s individual needs, which gives me great peace of mind.
The director, Kris, is always approachable and responsive to any questions or concerns, ensuring open and effective communication. My youngest is in the infant room, where I receive timely updates on every diaper change, bottle, and activity. My oldest is in the preschool room, and Ronda continually creates engaging and creative learning experiences that I would never have thought to introduce on my own.
The frequent updates on meals, activities, and daily progress from both classrooms make me confident that my children are in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. I would highly recommend this center to any family seeking quality childcare.”
