Parent Testimonials

"We chose to bring our son to Children's Discovery primarily because of the convenient location, the reasonable tuition rates, we liked the learning curriculum and it just felt "right" when we visited the center in Vadnais Heights. We had already been on tours at several other daycare centers and Children's Discovery ultimately was the best choice for us.

Since Aiden first began attending Children's Discovery, we have been very satisfied. All of the employees are very caring and always keep Aiden's needs in mind. We want him to be in a safe and clean environment and Children's Discovery does just that, along with doing creative, fun learning projects - even with the infants! I was amazed by the project Aiden brought home for Daddy on Father's Day ~ very cute!

Also, Dawn, the Infant Room Lead Teacher, periodically updates me via email with fun facts about Aiden's day at the center and occasionally sends pictures of Aiden...it really brightens my day and it's fun to hear how well he's doing at the center! As Aiden grows and develops, I think he will benefit greatly from attending Children's Discovery."

"My husband and I decided on Children's Discovery, a few months before Ethan was born. We quickly decided Children's Discovery was the best fit for our family because it was locally owned and operated. Giving back to the community is very important to us and knowing that well respected daycare was local won us over immediately.

My expectations for Children's Discovery and particularly his classroom were that he be given lots of new experiences and cared about like he was his teacher's child. Not only have these expectations been met, they have been exceeded. I know Ethan is cared for and cared about as his teachers share their experiences of the day with him when I pick him up.

And most recently when he had a rash and his teacher, Dawn, was so concerned and asked me to call so she knew what was wrong, it reconfirmed that Ethan is in the best place for him to learn and grow and be safe.

Thank you for all you do to help children grow and for making us feel like part of the family."

"My daughter started at Children's Discovery approximately three months ago and I am very happy that we chose Children's Discovery. The Infant teacher, assistants and aides are great with my daughter. The staff is very engaging with my daughter and the other children. The other children in the classroom are very well behaved. My daughter always has a smile on her face when I pick her up at the end of the day.

I was looking for a daycare that provided a nurturing environment for my child. I was also looking for a daycare that provided educational opportunities for my daughter. So far, my daughter is at or above her developmental milestones and I think her time at daycare contributes to Anna achieving her milestones.

I am happy to have chosen Children's Discovery and have recommended this daycare to friends."

"The staff at the center, especially in the infant room, goes above and beyond our expectations on a regular basis. They keep an eye out for those subtle little things that can often be overlooked. We hear from them on a daily basis when we drop him off and pick him up about how he is doing, what has been happening and the various experiences he has everyday.

All in all, we are very happy to have Children's Discovery in our neighborhood caring for our son. And we can tell he likes it too!"

John of White Bear Lake, MN
Father of Ethan, Infant Program




"The staff are wonderful! We started at Children's Discovery seven years ago. Many staff members who were working at the center when we started are still there. There is very little staff turnover and that says a lot about the organization.

The staff are patient, compassionate, flexible and are respected by the kids and parents-they are great role models for kids of all ages. They have gentle, but firm discipline techniques and work with the parents. The teachers are liked and trusted so much, many are asked by parents to babysit for them evenings and weekends."

'We decided to bring our children to Children's Discovery after we had some difficulties at our prior center. When we started at Children's Discovery, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The teachers and staff were really great during our tour but we didn't expect them to continue to be so caring and involved after we started. Our daughter warmed to the infant teachers right away, even though she usually is afraid of strangers.

Our infant daughter has made so much progress during our few short months at Children's Discovery. She loves to play with other children, has learned to walk and can communicated by nodding and shaking her head. She loves to read books, go for rides in the wagon and play outside.

It is so nice to have the teachers tell you great things about your children - instead of complaining about discipline issues like we have had before.
