“We moved our twin girls to Children’s Discovery just over a month ago. They make it easier for us as working parents because they utilize the Daily Connect app. The app allows me to see what my children are doing at any time during the day, and makes it easy for us to communicate with the teacher. They also post pictures of the girls in the app which reassures us that the girls are enjoying their day. The staff is friendly, and great with the kids. We feel as though they do a good job engaging our children. Moving the…
“I currently have 2 children enrolled in Children’s Discovery Academy. The care and education my children receive is one of the best in the area. I am often complimented about my children’s verbal skills, manners, development, etc. and I attribute much of it to the quality of education they receive at Children’s Discovery. The staff are easy to talk to and tailor the learning to your child’s needs. I have been very happy having my children at Children’s Discovery and have recommended the center to other families.” Maria of White Bear Lake Mother of Anna and Abby, Pre-Kindergarten and Toddler…
“I have been taking my son here for about 5 months now and have been very happy with everything. My sons also seems to love it! They have well balanced meals and snacks, and the staff are all great. I had a problem with diaper changing and they understood and fixed their problem right away! Haven’t had a problem since. My son learns so much from there. I would recommend childrens discovery to anyone needing care for a child!” Emily of Little Canada Mother of Noah, Toddler Program
“Our son has been in the infant room and is currently in the young toddler room. We truly couldn’t ask for more. As parents it is great to be assured that he’s receiving great care and having fun-filled days. He learns a lot from his teachers and classmates. Everyone is really great. I could never say enough good things about Children’s Discovery.” Dana of Vadnais Heights Mother of Jackson, Young Toddler Program
“It is warm and inviting. You can walk in and feel that everyone is happy to see you and your child. There is always a smile on everyone’s faces. It feels very safe. We have never, for a moment, worried about our son’s safety at CDA. His development while at CDA has been tremendous. Every day he comes home with new knowledge, vocabulary and skills that he not only remembers but is excited to share and demonstrate. I would whole-heartedly recommend CDA to anyone looking for high-quality, affordable child care AND development. It is definitely more than a day-care center…
