“We love CDA! My kids love CDA, more often that not I need to pull them away from their activities and friends at the end of the day. I am consistently amazed at all of the new things my children are learning. I know they are receiving the best care possible each and every day. The teachers are top notch, and I believe they genuinely care about these kids! We toured quite a few daycare centers 4 years ago before our daughter was born and we knew immediately CDA was the place for us. We haven’t doubted that once ever…
“My first impression of Children’s Discovery was great. The staff there are so amazing it’s a warm and inviting environment. My daughter attends the Pre-k program at the Vadnais Heights location. She loves it there everyday she is eager to go to school. She has also learned so much from there she has come a long way and I have the wonderful teachers in that room to thank. Everyday when I pick her up she has so much to tell me about her day and what she and her friends did. I’m glad I chose to bring her to Children’s…
“We couldn’t be happier with the service they provide and the environment for Taylor. She loves all the teachers and kids and was accepted from day one. It’s always nice to pick her up knowing she is been taken care of and in a structured environment with fun time and home work time. Would recommend to anyone.” Charlie from White Bear Lake Parent of Taylor, School-Age

When I pick her up all the staff in the after noon are amazing. I know that she has fun there and learns because she comes home and tells me all about her day.

“So it goes without saying, your child grows and learns every day, with that being said, that is how Merissa’s world as progressed into Merissa’s universe. My child has been coming to CDA since she was a baby and with every new stage she grows the learning curriculum grows with her. She loves to go to school and play with her friends. As a parent I find that the CDA staff go above and beyond to make sure my child is well taken care of, in all aspects. I would not have pick a different child care center. My 13…
“We started the pre kindergarten program after moving and Children’s Discovery made the transition easy. Everyone is friendly and I love the letters of the week and the curriculum! Our son loves going to “school” and it is a great way to get him into a school environment! We are so happy!” Dana from Lino Lakes Parent of Logan, Pre-Kindergarten Program
“We moved to the area 3 years ago and were commuting downtown with our daughter. 1.5 years ago, we started looking around for closer care for our 3-year old. The tour at Children’s Discovery was amazing. Everyone was so warm and engaged. At other centers, I often feel the caregivers don’t have their hearts in it; as if it’s just a temporary job and they may happen to like kids. At CDA, many (most) of the teachers have years and years of experience; the turnover is very low. My son will have the same teachers as my daughter who is…
“Our son just started in the infant room, and like any new parent, I was extremely nervous. Dawn and the other staff in the infant room made my husband and I feel at ease when we went to visit and I immediately felt better. On my son’s first day, we received a very nice note from Dawn on the Daily Connect app (which we LOVE following along throughout the day) that morning and the staff sent us pictures of our son throughout the day which helped put us at ease. Although we are brand new to CAD, we already love…
“We’ve been taking our little girl here since she was 12 weeks old. Now she’s 19 months She loves going to school every day. She comes home almost every day having learned something new. I love that everyone there knows her name, even if they work with other age groups.” “We feel secure and great about entrusting everyone there with her care. I like that she is with kids her own age, learning social skills and age appropriate classroom activities.” “I have recommended CDA to friends and will continue to do so.” Rachel from St. Paul Parent of Elizabeth, Young…
“After moving from Illinois and not knowing the area, we looked into many other daycares around our new apartment. We instantly knew that Children’s Discovery was the perfect fit for our first grader. His teachers are thoughtful and educated. Even though he is there for a short time, he always has so much fun. He usually likes it when we pick him up late so he can spend more time there. We appreciate all that the center does and love the focus on education and care.” Kim from Vadnais Heights Parent of Conner, School-Age Program
“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….
“We have had a great experience with Children’s Discovery Academy. The staff there at CDA truly care about the kids there! I know that my babies are given love and attention.

“We have our two boys in the pre-kindergarten and toddler classrooms, and both absolutely love it! They love their teachers, we love their teachers, and their teachers love them. They are both learning at a steady pace, and their days are filled with activity. We love receiving our Daily Connect updates and being able to be in communication with the teachers, if need be. The office staff are amazing, as well, and will go to the ends of the Earth to find the answer to a question!” Sara from Little Canada Parent of Gabriel and Maximillian, Pre-K & Toddler Programs
“We have two children attending the school and have been nothing but delighted with the progress and development of our children. Our three year old was very challenging to potty train but CDA encouraged her and she is currently fully potty trained. Each transition to a different room was wonderful. The teachers made the kids feel so comfortable and they were so patient with each of them. My three year old has learned so much in the preschool room. Her manners are fabulous and her verbal skills have increased dramatically. She has learned proper etiquette for many social situations and…
“Our little has so much fun at CDA. She has so much fun playing with her teachers and little friends. It amazes me to see how much she learns on a daily basis. I also love the communication that comes with CDA, the Daily Connect application is the best!

CDA is the perfect fit for our family and we recommend them to everyone we know!” Pam from Vadnais Heights Parent of Olivia, Young Toddler Program
“We absolutely love CDA in every way. The experience of dropping your child off is seamless, the teachers are always welcoming and prepared.

I would highly recommend CDA to everyone I know.” Dan from Vadnais Heights Parent of Olivia, Young Toddler Program
“As a first time parent my wife and I were nervous about selecting a daycare, we toured several daycares in the area and Children’s Discovery was the only one for us. The made us feel comfortable and confident that our son was in great hands. Since bringing our son Owen to the center the teachers have been excellent to work with as they give him the love, educating and caring he needs throughout the day. The daily connect app is a great resource allowing you to check in on his activities and see pictures of what he is up too…

“My son started going to Children’s Discovery Academy about 7 month’s ago and it was the best decision I made. They have been so welcoming every day, day in and day out. I honestly can’t picture my son being any where else. Teachers are kind, very secure and a nice online update of your kids day. I would recommend children’s discovery academy to absolutely everyone. This would be your best decision!” Bryan from New Brighton Father of Juliano, Toddler Program
“Picking a daycare for our oldest child was a difficult and nerve wracking decision. However, I now know we made the right decision. Our oldest is 3 years old now and was enrolled at CDA since she was 12 weeks old. Each day she is happy to go to school and happy to tell us about her day. Our youngest is 4 months old and at 4 months old, we can see the same reactions in her personality when she goes to school as we see in our oldest. Each morning as soon she hears the voices of the infant…
