“What a wonderful spot for our kiddos! The school is very warm and inviting and the teachers are so attentive! Our toddler and infant have grown in so many areas since enrolling in CKA and we’re so grateful to be part of the CKA family!”

“We sent our oldest child to TGS-Minnetonka when it first opened, and we had such a positive experience that it was a no-brainer to consider TGS again when we learned we were expecting another one. Our littlest, now in a toddler room, has been going to TGS since she was 4 months old. She is surrounded by teachers who love and care for her well-being, and support her continued development. We have confidence in her safety while she is there, and look forward to the daily updates to see what she is learning/exploring. She is truly thriving! TGS has become part of our family and will be for years to come.”

“SMLC in Chanhassen excels in its culture, amazing staff, and great support for the children.I imagine many parents find the job of finding the "right" daycare challenging. There are so many options and who knows what your child needs. I cannot speak for anyone else, but since nearly day 1 we have been grateful for our choice to put our child at SMLC.The staff really care about the children. You can tell as teachers, who are not even your child's teacher, know your child's name. It is easy to see the connections they build with all of the kids and how well they interact with them.The director obviously cares for not only the children, but the teachers as well. In my observations they are well supported and valued. As I get to know them, I grow fond of them as well. The turnover is very small which is really important to us.Our child has grown so much in the time there. It has been so much fun seeing all that she learns as well as the social development she gets. We are amazed at all the activities they plan both as part of their core curriculum as well as special events they hold for the kids. We know that we never could provide the same experiences at home.Finally, they have an app which makes us feel very much a part of our child's day. It is great getting the detailed updates on what the kids are doing, understanding how much they eat, how long they sleep, and of course the pictures.SMLC is incredibly thoughtful both of the kids and the parents. We are so happy we chose this daycare and their wonderful staff. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a new daycare.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about this place.When my son started in September of last year, he was - in true pandemic baby form - shy, timid, and quite uncomfortable in social settings. His teachers immediately made him feel loved and safe, met him where he was at, and allowed him to gain his footing at his own pace. Six months later, he is absolutely THRIVING. He wakes up disappointed on days he doesn’t have school and excited on the days he does. His newfound confidence has been elemental in his self-expression both in and out of the classroom. I will be forever grateful to the staff at Trinity for helping to lay such a solid foundation and love of learning in my son’s early life and cannot wait for his little brother to attend as well.”

“Our family has had a wonderful experience at SWLC Maple Grove. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring. We love that the kids get to be kids, learning through play. Our child had been at home for nearly two years before starting SWLC, but the staff made her transition as easy as possible. We would recommend SWLC Maple Grove to anyone looking for a center that combines warmth and professionalism.”

“My children attend Koala bear and have for about a year. My son is autistic and he is loved beyond measure here. His teachers ensure that he is a valued member of his classroom and they consistently love him and meet him exactly where he needs. To say I love this place is an understatement, Koala and every person I have encountered have given me peace I didnt know was possible.”

“The nicest and most caring staff! Many of the staff members have been working there for many years, which contributes to the feeling of a second home for our children. My children love HNCCCC, and it has been an amazing experience for our family.”

“We have been at Primrose for about a year now and could not have chosen a better place for our toddler. He truly enjoys going to school everyday and we can absolutely tell how much he has learned in a short time. The staff is incredible and super helpful and the facilities are always well kept and clean. We love Primrose!”

“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 enjoyed working at Today’s life the management is good she cares for every worker she really helps workers succeed and you can talk to her about anything. The staff is easy to get along with though they should do more team bonding exercises. You can have unlimited bathroom breaks just it’s all the way upstairs it’s a work out and picking up babies and putting them in the cribs will break your back (not literally) you will get used to it and it’s worth being there and working with the children and babies and the families. The families do care about you and support you as well. The most thing I will miss is seeing the room before the beginning of the day and seeing the babies or child’s faces as they come into the room happy to be at Today’s Life.”

“We can and do recommend Goddard to anybody who will listen. The school is clean and safe, the curriculum is great, but I want to spend my time talking about the staff.The staff has made our experience at Goddard unforgettable. We love every single person we’ve interacted with, not because they’re smart (they are), or they give our child a great education (they do), but because we KNOW they are teaching our son how to be a compassionate, kind, giving, and nurturing person. You can get a great education in a lot of places in Minnesota (we are very lucky), but we suspect that it’s less common to be moved to tears thinking about how Good the staff is at Goddard. Hetal has been an absolutely world class team and we completely adore them.”

“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.”

“My one year Daughter loved to go to Kindercare everyday. She was there only 5 months but she enjoyed a lot, she learnt so many thing, she got independent, every teacher loves her also she is very active, the Staff and Teachers are very friendly. Shelly is marvellous, she take cares of every child and teachers at any cost, she is a good Director. I was there 5 months like Assistant Teacher, l learnt so many things, she gave me a good opportunity, I want to tell special thanks to Shelly and Ms Katlin .”

“My daughter is excited to go to school every morning. The teachers and staff care for her as if they were their own and that puts this mama at ease when I have to be at work. Great place for my daughter be!”

“Highly recommend this school! Both of my kids went here (one still here) and I have little to no compliants. The staff is so kind and caring to our children. I always feel my kids are in great hands and are doing so much learning. My oldest graduated and was more than ready for Kindergarten. I will be very sad when my youngest will no longer be at Goddard!”

“I work here and I honestly love it! The teachers are fantastic, the food is amazing, we go on walks and spend so much time outside! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for work or child care.”

“❤️Jen and the entire staff have been very good to my baby. He recently left from care where he wasn’t treated the best and since he has been here they do nothing but show him so much love, kindness and patience! We are very happy with our new daycare home!❤️”

“My son Lio went here from 2 yo to 5 yo. All of the teachers are excellent. Now we moved to California, we haven't found a place as good as St David center. We miss Leanne, Megan and Jenny. Thank you for everything you did for Lio.”

“Our kids have been attending daycare at CKA Maple Grove since 2018, and I have loved watching them grow up in this center. They have both blossomed under the care and love of their amazing teachers and leaders, who foster an environment of safe learning.From receiving on-the-spot updates and pictures through the app, to seeing the artwork and evidence of the kids' lessons, to hearing the stories of who played what games on the playground that day at pickup time...I know beyond a doubt that my kids were supported and treasured during their time at this fabulous institution.Liz, Sunny, and all the fabulous staff at CKA Maple Grove: our family will never forget you!”

“Ms. Angie and her staff have created an interactive, fun, and safe environment for our little one. We are so thankful to have had her enrolled here! We would highly recommend them to any parent who wants to leave their kiddos knowing they are safe, loved, and set up for great days at daycare to check them out.”

“My granddaughter, Eloise, loves it at Chanhassen Kindercare. The Director and assistant director (Sami & Corinne) are awesome! She actually giggles when I drop her off. Her teachers in discovery preschool ( Marisol & Autumn) are great also. As a grandparent- I feel so welcome there.Brenda Helsene”

“Sleepy Tigers is a wonderful school. The teachers are excellent and care about the students. The students learn while having fun and building social skills. We highly recommend this place and will be sending other children here as soon as they reach the accepted age.”

“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!”

“We have been part of the Everbrook family since our children were infants.. Mandee, the principal, has consistently demonstrated unwavering support, providing valuable information and leading the school with excellence.The teachers at Everbrook are not only knowledgeable and inspired but also actively engage with us as parents to ensure our voices are heard and that our children are thriving. This collaborative approach to education has created a unique and positive learning environment.One of the standout features of Everbrook is the open communication fostered by the leadership team. Mandee and the staff are always approachable and willing to consult, ensuring that parents are not only informed but also actively involved in their children's educational journey.The true strength of Everbrook lies in the spirit of team collaboration. The seamless coordination between the leadership, teachers, and parents creates a supportive community dedicated to the well-being and success of every child. We are grateful for the enriching experience at Everbrook and highly recommend it to other families.”

“It IS a mega church, but I do like the fact if you don't know anyone you can come and go without being noticed. However, in that same breath. It can get lonely and defeat the purpose of trying to go to a mega church.*I dunno emoji goes here*I'm a lone parent with a toddler, I came here for resources first and foremost and I found them. That is a big plus and I feel so blessed and fortunate. The main pastor, he is pretty conservative by todays standard, however, I have to appreciate that now days when a lot of churches seem to be bending to cater to the masses. He is authentic and non apologetic about what is on his heart. For that he gets props from me on the passion he holds for Christ and trying to pass that on to those who are listening. The only thing that truly stinks about Grace is the traffic. *annoyed emoji goes here*Big church - lots of people and their cars. Gotta come early and leave early to bypass it. Plus one parking lot has been closed for a bit. Wish they knew what sitting in a hot car does to my toddlers patience and my nerves. BUT Try them out for a at least a few Sunday's and pray about it if this is your new church / community. Be blessed!”

“The Goddard School of Plymouth is the best daycare in the area. We were at another center in Plymouth previously, and we have been so much happier since moving our kids to Goddard. Our children are thriving socially and academically, and we have peace of mind knowing they are well taken care of throughout the day. The staff is great and we have had an amazing experience overall!”

“I have a 1.5 and 2.5 yr old that go to NBMA everyday. The staff is caring and loving with our kids, and they have made friends there that they talk about. The facility uses the Brightwheel app and uploads photos and videos with notifications on meals, naps, and BMs. Both of my kids love going to "school" here and it's been fantastic for our family.”
