“Merissa’s world is also in HD thanks to Children’s Discovery. As a parent you have concerns about what your kids are doing all day, while you are at work. My family has been with children’s discovery since Merissa’s sister Meranda was a toddler. So I know that they are well taking care off. I love the fact that as times have changed and the world is changing the daycare is taking steps by making sure they are up to date. I greatly appreciate that fact that I can log-in at any time and see what Merissa is doing and every…
“On the first day back to first grade after spending a multiple day break at CDA, my daughter said the sweetest thing. In the morning as we were getting ready she said to me, “I wish I could go to Heather’s class [school age room] every day!” I asked if she was unhappy at her other school. She said that she really likes her school, but going to CDA was the best. She talks a lot about how excited she is to spend her summer at CDA. It’s always great when a teacher makes a difference in a child’s life,…
“The center has been a great place for our kids to learn with their peers, with a dedicated and friendly staff. Potty training is right on schedule, with encouragement from the young toddler room, and the variety and quality of meals and snacks means both kids are really trying a lot of different foods. On Fridays, Maggie gets so excited about the Tumble Fun Bus that she can’t wait to get to school.” Stephanie from Vadnais Heights Mother of Maggie and Matt, Toddler and Infant Programs
“I love that my daughter loves going to school and yes, sometimes when I show up to pick her up, she’s not happy to see me because she doesn’t want to leave. But I don’t feel bad. I’m so happy she’s having so much fun and learning and making friends. I’m so thankful for Children’s Discovery!” Jamee from Vadnais Heights Mother of Hazel, Preschool Program
“The school age room is fantastic. When the kids get off the bus, the teachers check their homework folders and make sure everyone does their homework first. The teachers and students help each other and it frees up a little time in the evening for us to have fun as a family. After not seeing my kids all day and with how rushed the evenings are, I don’t have to worry about trying to get homework done, make dinner, and get a bath in. It’s like having a tutor everyday!” Jamee from Vadnais Heights Mother of Chloe, School-Age Program
“My husband and I really appreciate the compassion and caring towards our daughter. My Haylee has been in Pre-K for over a year and i love how i can easily communicate with her teacher and how she takes the time to make Haylee feel special.” Schaundra from White Bear Lake Mother of Haylee, Pre-Kindergarten Program
“Our children have attended CDA for nearly five years. Our two oldest our now in the school-age before and after school program and attend on non school days. Our youngest is in the toddler room and will soon be moving up to preschool. All three children really enjoy attending CDA. They look forward to all the fun activities that the staff prepare each week. The toddler program is very imaginative and we are always impressed by how much our toddler is learning. The school age program does an excellent job of keeping the older children engaged and they always offer…
“Having my son come to Children’s Discovery has helped me be at ease with him being prepared for school, especially Kindergarten. He loves going and makes new friends. I am very impressed with how they are able to just teach and have him interact. He’s learned to write his name and count and say his ABCs so very confidently. I would recommend Children’s Discovery to parents who are not just looking for a place to have their kids being watched but they will also provide great educational skills that will help them develop and grow.” Pa from Vadnais Heights Mother…
“I have sent two children through the excellent program at Children’s Discovery. It has been a great experience. The staff are warm and caring, the curriculum has prepared my oldest for kindergarten, and the administration is incredibly responsive to parents concerns and needs. My kids love the daily routines and especially the wonderful field trips! Many members of the staff have been there for years and have watched my kids grow from babies to school-age. I am happy to have had a loving place to take my children.” Julia from Roseville Mother of Liam, Preschool Program
“I think the entire staff does such a wonderful job and you are all so helpful and give me advise if needed. I love the one-on-one contact Haydn gets plus the friendships she has developed, I know a lot of this sounds like any other review but this place has changed my daughter’s and my life and I am so thankful to have come across this school it’s been amazing!!” Amanda from North Branch Mother of Haydn, Pre-Kindergarten Program

“From the first moment I called I knew that Children’s Discovery Academy was the right fit for our family and for Emerson. We have two sons and between them have experienced five providers – CDA is by far the best. The staff are the happiest people we’ve met, are dedicated to his learning experience and provide a structured, yet flexible and kid focused environment. The administration takes good care of their employees – which shows. The communication between parents and providers is unparalleled – between the daily pictures and updates, the same day responses to questions and concerns and the…
“This is entitled Merissa’s world as every morning, Merissa smiles and says school. She enjoys every minute at CDA. She has been attending for the past 1 ½ and I cannot think of one bad experience. She is happy to be dropped off every day and play and learn with her friends. As she has gotten older we our noticing things that the school is teaching her that we haven’t really even touched on yet or at least we as parents didn’t know that she knew certain things. For example we were sitting on the couch one day awhile back…
“CDA is wonderful in every way, when we started looking for child care for our daughter we toured a few facilities around town and instantly fell in love with CDA. The warm welcome we have received from them since we start having our daughter attend has made the transition from my wife staying home each day to working again so much easier. The staff is friendly and welcoming and they have always been responsive to our and her needs. We love it here!” Dan of Vadnais Heights, MN Father of Olivia, Infant Program
“After thoroughly researching centers in the area and receiving over 10 recommendations, we confidently enrolled our daughter at CDA. All the staff, including those in the older toddler classroom, are wonderful with the children and friendly & helpful for all parents. My daughter became comfortable quite quickly thanks to the teachers and is excited to go to CDA. I trust the staff of CDA and that is not something that comes automatically for me so I believe that says a lot about CDA. Don’t hesitate to enroll your children at CDA – if anything you’ll regret not enrolling at CDA!”…
“We have two children at Children’s discovery and have experienced all the classrooms and couldn’t be happier. They have extremely high standards, they are fun, they love working with children and they are very responsive and helpful to parents. They always make my children feel loved. We love the curriculum and activities and the extra opportunities offered. The teachers are always so friendly and engaging. Our oldest in school-age always has her homework done before we pick her up and her pre-K experience helped prepare her for kindergarten and first grade. Our preschooler is always so excited to go to…
“We chose CDA based on recommendation from friends. Lizzie is our first, and we started the search for a child care center long before she was born. We looked at several other places, and we were so impressed with CDA’s facilities, staff and approach to care and education that we signed up almost immediately. We started her in the infant room at 10 weeks old, and we are so happy with how caring, attentive and fun the ladies who care for her every day are. We are really looking forward to having her there for years to come.” Rachel of…
“We have been at Children’s Discovery Academy for 2 years now and just love it. The staff is so friendly and knows every child from every classroom. It’s great to still see the same faces after so long. Our 3 year old begs to go to preschool everyday. He has been learning so much and is so excited for all the new things they do.” Melanie of Saint Paul, MN Mother of Emmit, Preschool Program
“We have been incredibly pleased with Children’s Discovery Academy. Even before our kids started attending the responsiveness of the staff has been tremendous. It’s so nice to have a place to bring your children where you know they will learn, have fun and enjoy going.” Karen of Shoreview, MN Mother of Danika and Sienna, School-Age Program
“Our 4 year old son has been enrolled at CDA from the time he was 4 months old. He loves coming to “school” to play with his friends and learn new things. As he has progressed through the levels we have been amazed by how well he is cared for. Without reservation we recommend CDA to any parent looking for a safe and positive place for their child to grow up.” Laura of Roseville, MN Mother of Jake, Pre-Kindergarten Program
“I found CDA four years ago when researching day care for my first child. I toured both locations and was instantly drawn to the atmosphere and staff. We chose Little Canada because of its proximity to our house. I’ve been so happy to bring both of my girls to CDA while I work! The spacious rooms and indoor and outdoor play areas give my kids the space they need. My children love their teachers and feel like the teachers are proud of them and their accomplishments. I get different answers all the time when I ask about their favorite thing…
