“We are very happy with Children’s Discovery for our daughter. She has the perfect balance of structured and unstructured play, outdoor time, fun activities, and healthy food that she likes to eat! We love the fact that she enjoys her teachers, and classmates and looks forward to going there to learn every week! We’re able to stay in touch with fast response times from her teachers using the Daily Connect app. We would highly recommend this daycare center! Thanks for your wonderful care!” Kathy from Little Canada Mother of Nava, Toddler
“We absolutely love Children’s Discovery Academy! The teachers are all wonderful, fantastic, caring individuals and our son loves it there. We know he is in good hands, and we especially love being able to see what he is up to, and see photos on the phone app. They take such good care of him, and we are extremely grateful for the wonderful care he receives at CDA.” Bob from Maplewood Father of Will, Infant
“Enrolling Will in CDA two years ago was the best decision we could have made. Changing classrooms is difficult for little ones, and he had some setbacks with potty training. Kristin and the preschool teachers worked with us, listened to our concerns, and showed the utmost care to our son to help him overcome this difficult step! Will loves coming to CDA every day. Thank you!” Kaoyoua from Little Canada Mother of William, Preschool
“We love CDA, Landon is always happy and the teachers do a great job with him and the other infants. We love getting photos of his day. The teachers give every child attention and even the infants get to participate in activities. For father’s day, Landon made a magnet for his dad to put up at work. We love it here and are always excited to hear about his day.” Jessica from Roseville Mother of Landon, Infant
“I absolutely love children’s discovery academy. I enrolled my son at six months, he has been here for a little over a year and he loves it! Every morning he’s ready to go to school at just almost two years old! Teachers are so welcoming. They always try to keep them busy with art projects, tape stories, water play days, pj day, etc. They share photos of the kids in their activities throughout the day. My son loves them, he’s learned so much here. I know it could be scary putting your kid/s in daycare but I would definitely recommend…
“This was our daughters first time at a day care. She absolutely loves it. The teachers a friendly and informative. Having the app to see all the activities is wonderful as well. I would recommend Children’s Discovery to anyone looking for a great place to have their children. Thank you!” Devon from Vadnais Heights Father of Sophia, Toddler
“Will loves the weekly Show and Share more than any other activity! He always looks forward to bringing his items and telling us all about what his friends brought. The different themes provide great variety for their young minds!” Chris from Little Canada Father of William, Preschool
“Our family has belonged to CDA for 4 years. We have attended both locations and enjoy them equally. The staff is amazing and welcoming of my youngest who still attends. The toddler room is always hopping and she has so much fun there. The amount of things she learns on a regular basis is simply amazing. It is always exciting to follow her day via daily connect and knowing she is in good hands is the reason we chose CDA!” Pam from Vadnais Heights Mother of Evelyn, Toddler
“We are so thrilled with the love, care and attention our son receives at Children’s Discovery. They have supported and accommodated all of his special needs and demands during a rough period in his life. I also love being able to check in on his day and send instant messages through the daily connect app. We could not imagine going anywhere else!” Amy from White Bear Lake Mother of Callen, Infant
“It isn’t easy being away from my kiddo, during the day. Ms. Lauri & her assistants do such an amazing job! They are the building blocks my daughter loves to play with-adaptable, colorful, and full of potential. Their job is the most important job in the entire world, I can’t thank you ALL enough! Children’s Discovery Academy–Little Canada does their best to raise my daughter into the human being I want her to be.” Kylie from New Brighton Mother of Marleigh, Toddler
“My daughter loves coming to school. She is always happy to see her teachers every morning. It is great to be able to check on her via the app. Knowing she is happy on the pictures they send and seeing how her day is going is great part of our days. We can see how she improves by going here and how much she is learning. The staff here is great. Recommend this school to anyone.” Keith from White Bear Lake Father of Mara, Toddler
“We couldn’t be happier with Children’s Discovery. The teachers and staff are amazing, caring and responsive. Our daughter is excited to go to school every day, and it’s amazing how much she is learning. She loves it, and so do we!” Casey from White Bear Lake Mother of Olivia, Toddler
“My son has been watched by relatives all his life. As a two-year-old, he would still cry and cling to me when I dropped him off with them; nothing seemed to make it easier on him. His third week at Children’s Academy, though, he was actively walking away from me toward his teachers. On his fourth week (this week), there have even been days when he doesn’t spare me a backwards glance as he heads away from me. I know the teachers are stimulating his mind and keeping him active. I’m reassured that he is having fun, which makes my…
“I can’t say enough great things about CDA – the staff, the curriculum, the meals are all outstanding. I can’t recommend them highly enough.” Amy from Little Canada Toddler Parent
“My kid had the best experience here. Very good and patience staff who care the kids so much. The love they show to kids are really good and kids love to go here almost every day. My kid learns new things everyday and enjoys her time here. Great place and safe place. Among all it’s a trustworthy place for parents.” Daisy from Saint Paul Mother of Diya, Preschool
“We’re incredibly happy with Children’s Discovery Academy! Our first experience with childcare was horrible, so it feels wonderful to now feel confident in those who are taking care of our daughter. She’s learning new things and loves her teachers. We highly recommend Children’s Discovery Academy to anyone seeking childcare!” A.A. from Roseville Mother of R., Infant
“Our son has been at CDA since 3 months old. We absolutely love all the teachers at CDA. They are great at working both individually with our son and in a group to enhance his social skills. Our son has gained so many valuable skills and has so many new opportunities.” Samara from Vadnais Heights Mother of Nolan, Toddler
“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience at CDA or more impressed with teacher Lauri. Maddie receives lots of love at school and clearly adores her teachers. It warms my heart to hear the teachers relay cute comments and stories from her day. They obviously know her very well and share in her joys. They even helped Maddie make a welcome home sign for our new baby. We have always been very impressed with Lauri’s curriculum. Maddie learns so many new words, skills, and songs each week. Her interest in learning her letters has grown exponentially. The group also…
“Our daughter has been at Children’s Discovery for three years and we could not be more thrilled with our experience. From the first time we visited we knew this was where we wanted to be. The curriculum and activities are fantastic and the amount she has learned and grown is a testament to her time there. She gushes about her friends and teachers. We love the confidence she has walking into school greeting everyone and excited for the day.” Melissa from Saint Paul Mother of Wren, Preschool
“My kids have been at CDA since they were babies, and we get tremendous peace of mind from having them with such caring, fun teachers. Love that Darci boldly pursued sight words with the pre-k class this summer, and that epic adventures and epic friendships abound throughout the classrooms.” Stephanie from Vadnais Heights Mother of Maggie and Matt, School Age and Pre-K
“Before my wife and I had our first child almost 2 years ago we went visited a lot of daycare’s. Like most first time parents we were overwhelmed with all of the choices and what each place had to offer. But after meeting with Dawn and the other staff at CDA it became immediately clear, this is where our son needed to be. He has been there for over a year now and my wife and I could not be happier with our decision. The amount of support and care they provide goes above and beyond what we imagined our…
“Clyde has attended Children’s Discovery Academy of Early Learning Little Canada (“CDA”) since infancy. He is currently enrolled in Toddler and scheduled to move to up to Preschool in a few weeks. After researching every day care in the area, it was clear that CDA was the best option for Clyde. We loved the fact that the infants had their own private sleeping area, unlike every other day care that combined the sleeping space with the play space. The babies are treated with loving care and thrive under the guidance of the dedicated, long-term staff. As Clyde moved up the…
“We recently became foster parents of two beautiful (special needs) girls. The girls came to us with little speech, lacking in social skills and riveted with past trauma. We came across Children’s Discovery after making many failed phone calls to places feeling not equipped to handle such a situation. Children’s Discovery in Little Canada didn’t bat an eye when I described our situation to them and in fact they were eager to help us out. Since placing the girls in the care of Children’s Discovery Little Canada just 2 months ago, our girls have flourished tremendously! The oldest is speaking…
“My son has been through both public school and Children’s Discovery Academy programs. I am so grateful for the education program, field trips, healthy food options, and all around curriculum this academy offers. The teachers are wonderful and genuinely care about the children. The small class sizes have been essential for my son’s learning needs. I would recommend CDA to any parent that is looking for a trusted care option that facilitates learning and adventures for your child.” Anne from Maplewood Mother of Harvey, School Age
“Our daughter goes to daycare two days a week since she was an infant. The staff is excellent, well-trained, responsive, and flexible. The facility is welcoming for kids and parents, and secure. We appreciate the variety of activities the teachers have planned throughout the day, both inside and outside. She loves doing artwork, learning new songs, and playing with her friends. And the extras, like Soccer Shots or the Tumble Bus, keep her active which is great. We love the BabyConnect app as a way to keep up with what she’s doing, track her naps, diapers/potties, and eating. And we…
