“We love Children’s discovery. Everyone is genuinely caring and loves on your child. They work with you to provide the best care for your child! They send lots of pictures and are great about communicating daily. The teachers are all so friendly and truly seem to enjoy their jobs.” Hannah from White Bear Lake Mother of Asher, Infant
“I have 2 children who have attended CDA since 2019. The teachers are creative, engaging and genuinely seem to love their jobs, most have been there for multiple years. My kids learn so much while there and look forward to going everyday, they have a lot of fun enrichment activities throughout the year as well. It is incredibly clean and safe. The administrators are easy to communicate with, friendly and organized.” Jonee from White Bear Lake Mother of Sophie and Leyton, Toddler and Preschooler
“We have been at CDA since the infant room and we are still amazed at the level of learning and growth we have seen in our son. He is in preschool now and has learned so many valuable skills from academic learning, empathy, friendship, and life skills. He LOVES going to school each day and the teachers are so wonderful. They clearly care about the kids and do so many special activities and really take the time to get to know the children and their families. Having consistent teachers in every class has been so critical in our child’s success…
“We love the teachers, staff and facilities at CDA. Our oldest son has thrived in preschool and pre-K, learning new skills and making new friends. Our youngest started there recently and caregivers have been very helpful in easing his transition/providing extra support as he gets used to things. All the teachers and assistants are caring, creative with activities and loved by our kiddos. Highly recommend CDA!” Leslie from Maplewood Mother of Corey and Miles, Pre-Kindergartener and Toddler
“We are so happy with our decision to send our baby to CDA. The teachers are all so friendly and helpful. We love getting updates throughout the day via the app (pictures, bottle schedule, naps, etc). Our baby girl is always so smiley when she sees the teachers at drop off!” Bailey from Vadnais Heights Mother of Marley, Infant
“We have been with CDA for many years and have loved it! The teachers have all been excellent and genuinely care about the kids. Our one son graduated from CDA last year and is doing great in kindergarten now! Our other son is in preschool and we have been fortunate that they have had many of the same teachers. We highly recommend CDA!” Emily from Shoreview Mother of Wesley, Preschooler
“We’ve been going to Children’s Discovery since our first child turned 3 months and have loved it. He’s still sad he had to leave for kindergarten but our preschooler is still there and having a blast. Every week is new with different challenges, educational opportunities, and learning fun. They offer so much variety we’ve never heard him being bored and he’s always happy. Cannot recommend a better daycare out there!” Evan from Shoreview Father of Wesley, Preschooler
“We have had a wonderful experience with CDA. The director is very organized and communicates well. If you call or email, someone will respond right away. Their hours and flexibility are amazing for two working parents. Some daycare is just daycare without the learning aspect. My son is learning how to write his letters already in preschool and has different themes each week. He also has music class that we added. The teachers are friendly and helpful and know your kid well. We considered doing pre-k at public school, but after comparing the price and child care availability and quality…
“Children’s Discovery Academy has been nothing but fantastic from the first time we made contact with the Vadnais Heights Location. They were able to be flexible with meeting staff and getting a tour of the facility and were able to answer all questions on the spot with resources as well. My daughter was welcomed and felt comfortable instantly on her first few days which made me nothing but happy. This was a great decision to come here and look forward to more time in the future with Children’s Discovery!” Kyler from Hugo Father of Olivia, Preschooler
“We feel so grateful that our little one is in CDA’s infant classroom this year! As first time parents, with a daughter with special feeding needs, we were a little nervous about talking to the staff about her special feeding needs because we didn’t know how they would react or what we could expect with the team. However, when we brought it up, Sue, the lead teacher made us feel at ease about everything. Sue told us how she and her staff had experience supporting another infant with similar needs in the past and made us feel comfortable with having…
“Our family has been so blessed to have had both of our children enrolled at Children’s Discovery. Our oldest is thriving in elementary school because of the learning she received while at CDA. Our youngest absolutely loves going to CDA. The daily work is very enriching, she has teachers that care about all the kids in her class, and she had opportunities to try new things with their “bonus” classes such as music, dance, and tumbling. I can’t say enough wonderful things about CDA. They have become a huge part of our family and we have built long lasting relationships…
“I love this daycare center. They really care about the kids, all the staff seem like they enjoy being there, they are very friendly and easy to talk to. They do so many fun crafts with the kids and they teach the kids so much. The building is secure. They post pictures and information via the app, newsletters, and reminders. I have no complaints.” Cassie from Saint Paul Mother of Laylay, Toddler
“We have two children at CDA (infant and pre-k). All of the staff and teachers are caring and engaged in our children. For two busy parents without local family support their reliable coverage is invaluable. They offer a variety of enrichment programs and plan fun in house activities that keep our children smiling.” Ben from Maplewood Father of William and Samuel, Pre-Kindergartener and Infant
“We absolutely love this daycare! Our kids love all the teachers, and it’s so incredibly well run. The rooms are always clean, happy places, and you can always get someone on the phone immediately. The communication and organization has worked wonderfully for my wife and I, and the teachers, toys, and setup is perfect for our kids! We are always impressed with how much they learn, and so appreciative of how happy they are to go!” Justin from Maplewood Father of Evan and Maia, Preschooler and Toddler
“CDA has been amazing for our family in so many ways! We started out with our daughter, Brooklyn, in the infant room and we are now in the preschool room. CDA’s teachers have been amazing with not only our daughter but with my husband and myself. The extra enrichment classes such as soccer have also been extra special for Brooklyn, dad and mom. Having had come from another daycare that was not the right fit for us, I can honestly say CDA is amazing!” Tammy from Chisago City Mother of Brooklyn, Preschooler
“We had heard such great things about CDA from our neighbors. We knew this was where we wanted our daughter to go. We have been very happy with the care received. Our daughter just adores her infant teacher, Kristi!” Allison from Little Canada Mother of Lana, Infant
“Being our first child we were understandably nervous to have her go off to daycare. But, so far the experience has been a good one. We can tell she likes it, we get a lot of happy photos sent to us throughout the day. She’s always really excited when she sees her morning teacher during drop off. We will certainly be keeping her there and if we have another child we’ll be sending them to children’s discovery as well.” Ryan from Little Canada Father of Lana, Infant
“Our daughter has been at Children’s Discovery Academy since the toddler room, and has never been happier! All of the caretakers/teachers have been very helpful in her transition from room to room and always greet her with warm welcomes every morning (us too:)). Our daughter is very active everyday and comes home telling us everything she does while at daycare and the list seems endless! We are grateful for everything they provide for us and how helpful and understanding of they have been with our daughters food allergies. We are kinda sad she has to leave for kindergarten next year!”…
“Children’s Discovery provides excellent care for our child. We are satisfied with our experience and would recommend this child care center to others. The staff all are very kind and welcoming.” Adam from Roseville Father of Ezra, Toddler
“Our family feels so fortunate to have stumbled upon Children’s Discovery when we had our son. We enrolled him in 2021 as it was a close location, had great reviews, and very experienced staff. Since then we have moved over 20 minutes away and decided to keep him there. We love how much development we see on a day to day basis and how much joy he has when he enters the building. His teachers have been nothing short of phenomenal and we look forward to seeing how he progresses through to his next classroom!” Maggie from Blaine Mother of…
“My family has been with CDA since he was a toddler, and it’s been the most amazing experience! Every class he’s been in, you can see how much the teachers and aids care for and adore the kids. My son loves the class and comes home with fun things that happened through the day. During the warmer months the kids go on awesome field trips that parents are able to join! I work in education so I have to be to work early, they open at 6:30am, they give me more than enough time for drop off and the same…
“We have two daughters enrolled at Children’s Discovery Academy, in the preschool classroom and the toddler classroom. When our older daughter moved up to preschool this summer we were so excited to see her development with letters and numbers. Our younger daughter has really enjoyed having more structure in the toddler room and all of the fun activities she gets to take part in. We love the weekly newsletters and all of the updates and photos throughout the day!” Elissa from Little Canada Mother of Linden, Preschooler
“Our daughter started at CDA in the toddler room and is now in the pre-K room. We have been impressed with all of her teachers along the way. She loves going to school and playing with her friends. The curriculum changes to a new theme each week and it keeps our daughter engaged and excited. The classrooms are clean and well equipped with toys and activities. The food served is a good combination of kid friendly and nutritious. She really enjoys all of her teachers in the pre-k room- I can’t speak highly enough of all of them. Our child…
“Our preschooler has been attending CDA Little Canada for several years, and our baby started there a few months ago. Having now had kids in the infant, toddler, and preschool rooms, we only have positive things to say about CDA. I know my kids will be cared for, have fun, and learn new things every day. Dropping them off into that kind of excellent environment is absolutely priceless, and I’m really grateful we found this place!” Sara from Little Canada Mother of Marty and Winnie, Infant and Preschool
“Our older daughter has been at CDA for a year and a half now. She’s made friends, learned so much, and loves the teachers. Just moved a little further into Shoreview but still staying at CDA because our daughter and family loves the center.” Victor from Shoreview Father of Astra, Preschool
