“One of the hard parts about being a working parent can be missing out on some of the things your child learns and experiences during the day. While sometimes hard for parents, this is the best part of our job here at Children’s Discovery. We have the opportunity to be a part of each child’s life in a big way. We get to celebrate all those successes big and small and provide an environment for both children and families that we are proud of. We nurture, educate, and provide lasting memories. And we do it all because we love it. As a mother myself, I can’t think of anything more important than what we do here. We get to make a difference and have a positive impact on the lives of children.”

“Working with children is something I’ve wanted to do from the time I was young. When I found my home at Children’s Discovery Academy in 2007, I knew this was the place where I could make a difference! It is so rewarding working with toddlers and to see how they learn and grow every day!
Being able to form great relationships with the families and my co-educators is one of the best parts of my job. I love that I get to be a part of helping these kids be the best they can be!”

Preschool A Teacher – Vadnais Heights
Educational Background: Lead Teacher Qualified, Minnesota D.H.S.
Employed with Children’s Discovery Academy since 2019
“My favorite thing about working with children is seeing how a child can develop so many skills in a short period of time. I’m always fascinated by their sense of wonder, their ability to soak in knowledge, and the way that each personality plays an important part in the dynamic of the group. It’s especially rewarding to have a job where I receive smiles, laughter, and hugs. Working at CDA, I am reminded of what I enjoy the most: the loving feeling that exists here and the way parents and teachers work together, allowing us to witness the growth within each child. I have a strong passion for teaching and making sure every child’s needs are met, respected, and validated. I look forward to supporting each child’s growth as well as learning from them myself every day!”

Pre-Kindergarten Teacher, Vadnais Heights
Educational Background:
B.A. in Elementary Education with Pre-Primary from Bethel University
Employed with Children’s Discovery Academy since 2003
“I have been lucky enough to enjoy my career here at Children’s Discovery Academy since 2003. I can honestly say that I LOVE my job!
As a teacher that has been here all these years, I think my favorite part are the families that have come through my class. I enjoy the personal relationships that have been formed and it’s especially rewarding to hear from them for years after they’ve already gone.
As a parent of a child that has gone through the program, I was always impressed with the amount of knowledge my son came home with daily. I sometimes thought,“What else could my child possibly learn when his own mother is a teacher?” But with the fabulous curriculum, there was always something new to learn. He was always safe, well taken care of, and he always enjoyed school.”
