“Eli had always loved going to school, but last fall when he started kindergarten at a public school we saw a drastic change with him. He started saying that he hated school and didn’t want to go anymore. It was also a struggle to do homework with him after school. We transferred him to discovery academy after 3 months of being in the public school system and instantly saw a change. He now says he loves school again and actually is excited to go everyday. He does not mind doing his homework and his writing skills are improving every day….

“This past year at Kindergarten at Children’s Discovery Academy – Little Canada was really a great experience. We appreciate the smaller class size & enrichment programs that enhance the overall learning. Our Son looks forward to Spanish & Friday Cooking Class. Mrs. Boggess takes time to work with the students individually to understand what motivates & interested them to engage them in learning. Mrs. Boggess recognized that our Son was struggling with reading. She did not just continue to push him along with the rest of the class, but worked with him to go back & review their reading curriculum…

“We have loved the CDA kindergarten program. My daughter has learned to read and she is an enthusiastic writer because she has been inspired by her teacher. She comes home with lots of questions about science and social studies, so I know she is learning about things that interest her. She has gained a lot of math skills and literacy in reading graphs and charts because they create them in ways that are meaningful to a 5 year old. I’ve really appreciated the kindergarten teacher’s creativity and the freedom she has to create a learning experience that works for my…

“You know you’ve found a good spot for your child when you drop them off in the morning and they always have a big smile on their face and an extra skip in their step. Then, when you arrive to pick them up in the evening, they want more time to finish a project and invariably ask if you are early.” Luke of Shoreview Father of Liam, Kindergarten Program

Through the help they showed my daughter she is becoming a smarter student… thank you.. very appreciative parent…” Courtney of Little Canada Mother of Sereniitty, Kindergarten Program

“My wife and I discovered Children’s Discovery 7 years ago after it was recommended by a co-worker. The friendly and caring staff, nurturing learning environment, in-house enrichment programs (i.e. Dance, computer, music, Spanish, Tumble Fun Bus, and field trips), and all-day kindergarten were all reasons why we chose Children’s Discovery. The care and education that our daughters have received has been 2nd to none. They each received a solid foundation from which to build their education’s from. They love going to school at Children’s Discovery, we have loved taking them to Children’s Discovery to learn and spend time with their…

“My two children have been with Children’s Discovery since they were just a few months old…and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The staff is caring, the environment enriching, and most importantly, our kids come home happy. But its more than just a loving place…Children’s Discovery, and it’s wonderful teaching team, provides educational opportunities and challenges which have resulted in our kids demonstrating skills that far exceed our expectation. My son attended Kindergarten at the Little Canada location last year. This year he’s attending public school and I’m amazed in the difference between the programs! He’s by far the…

“After looking at several Kindergarten classrooms in our area, we knew that Children’s Discovery was by far the best choice for our daughter. The teacher to student ratio is excellent, the curriculum engaging and high-quality, and our daughter felt an immediate sense of belonging and friendship with her classmates. We highly recommend CDA’s Kindergarten program and know that our child is working to her best and brightest potential.” Adina of Oakdale, MNMother of Ella Kindergarten Program
