“My daughter has been at CDA in both the infant and toddler rooms. We transitioned from a different child care center and we’re so happy with the difference. She is always happy to attend. She learns so much there, I continue to be amazed by what word/skill she seems to accomplish everyday. The teachers send out a weekly curriculum and I’m so impressed by the variety of activities and creativity. The teachers are patient, kind, welcoming and communicative. The director and admin staff are also very helpful, friendly and informative.” Jonee from White Bear Township Mother of Sophie, Toddler
“We have loved everything about our experience at CDA. The teachers are so caring and committed to the kids. There is great communication between the parents and the teachers – we love the DailyConnect app! There are also so many little things that make everything easier for parents, such as the provided meals, extra-curriculars offered during the school day, etc. And on top of this, our daughter is so excited to go to school every day! We highly recommend CDA to anyone considering it.” Amanda from Roseville Mother of Maddie, Pre-Kindergartener
“When we decided to make the switch from our previous daycare to Children’s Discovery Academy, we could not in our wildest imagination have envisioned the countless blessings and benefits this change would bring into our lives. Since our daughter’s enrollment, we have felt so much more confident, secure and grateful towards the care, education and nurturing provided to her. On a recurring basis, my wife and I find ourselves stunned by the professionalism CDA operates by, only to be outdone by the kindness of the teaching staff. It is so exciting to know that our daughter is being stimulated and…
“As first time parents sending our infant to CDA, we have been very happy with the care our baby has received. He loves his time “at school” with his friends and playing with toys! Schedules, feedings, and communication have impressed us since the start, and we’re only 5 months in. We are happy that our little one loves CDA.” Stacey from Maplewood Mother of Lenny, Infant
“Our son loves going to school and we have been so impressed with how much he has learned in the toddler classroom. His teachers Lauren and Liz are always so welcoming and positive, and have been super supportive with potty training. We love that they have a theme for the week and day, and post a lot of updates in the app, so we can talk with him about what he did that day. Some of his favorite activities are flannel board stories, art, gym time and dance parties. It’s wonderful to know he’s learning and having such positive interactions…
“I have been thoroughly impressed with the educational and developmental structures that CDA focuses on. My children are excited and eager to learn each and every day. They are not only building an educational foundation for their academic future but learning a healthy social life at a young age. The teachers are well tuned in to each child’s needs socially and academically. The teachers show a true interest in my children and genuinely care for them. There is no other place I would want my children to attend. ” Abby from St. Paul Park Mother of Jackson, Pre-Kindergartener
“Can’t say enough nice things about Children’s Discovery. As first-time parents, they made the process very easy and they were very patient with our a million and one questions. Our son is currently in the infant room and couldn’t be in better hands- he’s always smiling and happy to go to daycare- super comforting for this new mom.” Maggie from Little Canada Mother of Nolan, Infant
“CDA has been great over the past three years. The center has awesome staff who are helpful and caring and super reliable. They’ve all taken the quick changing guidance over the past two years in stride and done everything they can to keep kids safe while providing high quality childcare. Highly recommend!” Jake from Roseville Father of Dax, Preschool
“We love CDA in Little Canada! Our son is enrolled in the Toddler B classroom and we absolutely love the teachers! They do an amazing job with staff consistency, so you really get to know the people caring for your children. Our son has absolutely thrived at CDA. He was born just at the start of the pandemic, and we waited to enroll him until around 18 months, so we worried that he wouldn’t adjust well. The staff were so patient with him and he asks to go now and looks forward to it everyday. We love the enrichment programs…
“We were so happy to be welcomed back with open arms when we enrolled our newest after about an 8-year break from our older child. It was so nice coming back to find familiar faces and the same love and care that we appreciated so much in the past. You can feel how special the environment is to make the employees want to stay for so long. When our youngest was ready for care, we had no doubt in our minds about where we wanted him to spend his days. Thank you, Children’s Discovery, for giving our child such a…
“My school-aged kids LOVE Children’s Discovery! They have so much fun there after school, during the summer, and on no-school days. They hate to leave and get mad at me when I pick them up too early. The teachers are fun, responsive, and plan great activities.” Jessie from Little Canada Mother of School Agers
“My daughters were very nervous to start daycare but Children’s Discovery did a fantastic job of making them feel comfortable and now they love it. The staff in each room is fantastic and caring. I love the app because it updates with the activities they do and even a few pictures of them throughout the day and what they’re doing.” Justin from Little Canada Father of Ella, Pre-Kindergarten
“I did a lot of research on potential childcare centers before enrolling our daughter in CDA’s infant room. I asked around to local families, on online boards, social media, etc. Without a doubt, CDA came the most highly recommended by the local community. Most importantly, our experience here has been just as expected! Our daughter is just about to age out of the infant room and she LOVES it here. She is happy when we drop her off, happy when we pick her up, and always well-cared for. We have not yet had a single complaint. I rest easy going…
“Our children have been at CDA since they were infants and we have been so happy there! Our kids have learned so much and more importantly, we know every day they are with teachers and aides who genuinely care about them. Many of the teachers have been with CDA a long time, so it was great that both our kids have had the same teachers even though they are 2 years apart. When we had our second child, we were so happy he would be with the same teachers who already knew our family well. We would highly recommend CDA…
“Our daughter has been at CDA since infant room and loves going every day. The teachers create an excellent curriculum and she has learned so much since starting there. They have helped us work with our daughter throughout potty training and have been supportive throughout the process. The administration team is excellent to work with and always communicating with the parents to keep us informed of important information.” Chris from White Bear Father of Sophie, Toddler
“I cannot say enough how much we love CDA-Vadnais Heights. Our oldest has spent time in each classroom now as she has made her way into KG and now uses before and after care. Our youngest is now in the preschool class. The teachers are truly amazing, showing their love and care for each child that walks in their door. The support staff are the best, always saying hi and checking in with a smile on their face, even when my kiddos are in a different class. The office staff are phenomenal with communication and so welcoming. I have and…
“I get the best of both worlds with Children’s Discovery because I am a teacher and my children are there. Knowing our children are in great hands gives us such a peace of mind. Our first child was at in home before coming to CDA and the transformation she has made since is so fantastic to see! She loves to share with us about her day! I am amazed at all the wonderful things she has learned and I can’t wait to watch her grow and learn more! Our son is thriving in the infant room and I love all…
“When we started looking for daycare options for our first born son, we didn’t know where to begin! We asked around to all of the friends we knew who had kids in the area and (not exaggerating) they all said to check out Childrens Discovery Academy. We took a tour and felt very confident that they would take great personal and special care of our son. Since starting – 4 months ago – there hasn’t been a day where have second guessed our choice of where to take Olen. Everyday we have pictures sent to us of his day, updated…
“We love Children’s Discovery, couldn’t be happier with them! Our son loves going there, and they get the best pictures of his smiling face throughout the day. The app they use works great to keep us connected during the day, and the pictures they share are a nice little bonus to get me to the end of the work day. We always tell everyone that we go to Children’s Discovery, and would highly recommend them to any parent looking for child care.” Mike from White Bear Lake Father of Carter, Toddler
“Our daughter has been at CDA since she was 3 months old. Now she’s 7.5 and we wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. She is attending on school closure days and in the summer and she gets so excited when she knows she’ll get to go to CDA on a school closure day. The teachers and staff at CDA are caring, warm, communicative and passionate about kids. It’s been amazing to watch our daughter grow up at CDA. They really have been partners in raising our daughter. And we’d recommend them to any parents looking for a daycare.” Rachel from…
“Children’s Discovery has a group of amazing teachers that truly care about your kids. My kids are always talking about their own teachers and other ones they know from the other rooms. I was drawn to the family feel of this center when touring and that is exactly what you get. My kids are constantly learning new things and are excited about it. I’m impressed with all the creative ways they teach. They use the BabyConnect app so you always feel connected to what your child is learning and you get a lot of cute pictures!” Brietta from Gem Lake
“From our first meeting with CDA staff, have been impressed with the staff’s warmth, enthusiasm, obvious love for children, intentional programming, fabulous communication with parents, and dedication to providing a safe and fun learning environment. Our daughter truly loves going to school and has flourished in the pre-k classroom, both in her academic and social skills. We are thankful that she has caring and attentive teachers, great friends, and such a wonderful variety of activities while we are working. She has also really enjoyed the extra-curriculars the center offers, which have provided her with enrichment opportunities (dance, music, tumbling) without…
“In our almost 2 years with CDA, we have had nothing but an incredibly positive experience! It is so obvious and overt that the teachers genuinely care about the well-being and development of our son Max (and I am sure ALL the kids there). They are overtly caring, and it is clear the education he is getting is excellent – his language and motor skills have skyrocketed in his time there. The ultimate testimonial – we are so thrilled with the care and education that Max has received that our daughter Chloe will be starting at CDA in a few…
“Our son absolutely loves the Toddler room and we are so happy knowing he has an absolute blast everyday. The teachers take so much time and attention to all the wonderful learning activities, arts and crafts, and imaginative play they do everyday. Our son continues to excel in all areas of development and he is talking up a storm thanks, in large part, to all the staff at CDA. We couldn’t have picked a better daycare for our family. ” Nicole from White Bear Lake Mother of Miles, Toddler
“We’ve had our son at Children’s Discovery Academy in Vadnais Heights since he was 9 months old and I’m so happy with CDA! My son is now in the toddler room, and both he and I adore his teachers (Lauren & Alexis). It’s so clear that they love my son and he gets so excited to see them each morning. Lauren sends out a weekly email where you get to see the activities for the following week, and I’m always so impressed by their creativity: they keep the toddlers busy and entertained while also teaching them life skills like taking…
