“We toured several childcare centers and found them all adequate. But when we toured CDA we knew we found our daycare! The entire staff is so warm and welcoming. Nova loves all her teachers in the infant room. Every week we can see all the new skills she is learning. She’s on such a wonderful trajectory! I feel good leaving our daughter in the care of the staff every day. CDA is a critical part of the wonderful village helping us raise a smart, caring, kind and strong girl. Everyday we are glad we chose CDA and are more impressed…
“I must say, Dax is a very happy guy at CDA. I get updates as I need them by checking Daily Connect and know he’s taken well care of every day. He gets healthy snacks and meals while there and I don’t have to send anything along except a change of clothing. Dax is the same happy guy he always has been now that he’s attending CDA and picks up new things every day. He’s learning so fast and we are amazed and what he comes home doing and saying after daycare. It’s clear hat the staff take their job…
“My son went to Children’s Discovery for 6 years and now my daughter has been there since she was 12 weeks old. They provide exceptional care and also my children seem to learn so much from going there. My daughter loves the teachers and all her friends. I always recommend CDA to everyone!” Amanda from White Bear Lake Mother of Rihanna, Toddler
“We were fortunate to have family help with our daughter the first year, so switching to daycare was a big adjustment for her. Her teachers have been great in helping her (and I) adjust and now she loves going! They keep her busy all day with activities, art projects and play. She is also learning how to behave socially. She is constantly coming home and knowing new words and how to do new things. They helped her master drinking from a cup and using utensils. It has been so fun to watch her grow and be excited to see her…
“My daughter loves the teachers and all of the fun activities planned for the school-aged kids both during the school year and during the summer! I love that they send pictures in the app and email so I can see how much fun she’s having!” Jessie from Little Canada Mother of Story, School-Age
“We couldn’t be more pleased with CDA. My youngest is in the infant room and loves his teachers. They know his quirks, call him by sweet nicknames, and are eager to share/celebrate his successes. It’s really heartwarming to hear their remarks at the end of the day. Teacher Kristi does a wonderful job encouraging him to try new foods and learn new things (e.g., drinking from a cup). Sometimes he reaches his arms out when we walk past his classroom just because he wants to give teacher Tori a hug. My oldest is in the preschool room and is thriving….
“We started our son in daycare at a different place in St Paul and moved to Roseville last fall. We searched for weeks touring tons of places and never thought we would find a place we liked as much as our old daycare. The second we walked into LC Children’s Discovery, we knew we found the place. We loved every staff member that we met and were stopped by several parents during our tour just to tell us how great this place was. We’ve been going there for the last 3 months and it’s been a great experience. Also, the…
“Our son started in the young toddler classroom and is now in the toddler classroom. We are amazed at how much our son continues to learn intellectually, emotionally and socially in such a short period of time. We had the option to keep him home during summer to save money, but we ultimately decided to keep our son enrolled for three reasons; he simply loves going, we want him to keep learning, and we find enrolling him to be worth more than the extra money we ultimately could’ve saved. Teaching toddlers is no easy task, so we encourage all staff…
“I love the teachers and staff. They are wonderful with my daughter and I would recommend anyone to Children’s Discovery.” Jennifer from North Saint Paul Mother of Tiffany, Preschool
“We have been at CDA just a couple months, after being at another daycare for over 5 years. CDA is exceeding our expectations in just the short amount of time. The best part is that our kids love it there – we have never seen them so excited to go to daycare and then to come home and tell us about their days. Beyond that, there are so many things that make this daycare exceed our previous one – the daily communication (all the great pictures received throughout the day!), the weekly newsletters, the auto withdrawals from our bank account,…
“The staff always does a great job with communication. Whether it is passing along classroom illness information, daily activity updates, or potty progression, we always feel like we know what is going on with Everett and how his day is going. Also, the team has proven to be extremely flexible in the face of a lot of internal staff changes. We appreciate all the effort and care given to our kiddo 👍🏼” Jasmine from White Bear Lake Mother of Everett, Toddler
“Children’s Discovery is simply the best! Great teacher, educational content and faculty. Everyone is so nice and attentive with our children and the amount that they learn each day is amazing! Even after our oldest son started kindergarten and we had the opportunity to move our youngest to be closer and have on drop off/up spot. We decide to keep our youngest son at Children’s because we loved it so much!” Jenny from North Oaks Mother of Nolan and Aiden, School-Age and Toddler
“We absolutely love Childrens Discovery! Our daughter is eager to get to school everyday because she is thriving in an environment of learning and engagement. She loves her teachers because they make her feel welcome and loved. The curriculum has helped her tremendously and her learning growth is incredible. We couldn’t be happier with our choice in sending her to Children’s Discovery.” Katie from Vadnais Heights Mother of Lydia, Toddler
“My son has only been enrolled for a short time, but I already feel as though I can fully trust his instructors. I love that I can check my app everyday to see what he is up too and what he is learning. Great facility and great people.” Kari from Little Canada Mother of Abram, Toddler
“I have peace of mind every day when I drop my children off at Children’s Discovery, knowing they are left in safe, capable, compassionate hands. My children are provided with an abundance of fun, engaging, and educational activities, field trips during the summer, and caring and accommodating teachers who listen to our needs and concerns. Rating this center 6/5 stars. Thank you Children’s Discovery for giving our family the best quality childcare we could ask for.” Sara from Little Canada Mother of Silas & Fiona, Pre-K & School-Age
“I would like to have it noted what a great job the teaching staff do, at VH CDA. It is always hard having to drop kids off in the morning, but they do a great job of getting them engaged and learning. Both of the lead teachers in my daughters class have made a great impact on her and she speaks very highly of them both. Thank you.” Francis from Mahtomedi Father of Charlotte, Preschool
“This place is phenomenal. We spent many hours visiting other daycares before deciding on this one and I got to tell ya, some of them were scary. CDA on the other hand is more then what we could have asked for. The people that work there actually enjoy what they are doing and it shows. It shows to us and we also see it in our daughter’s enjoyment of attending. Beyond being comfortable with the staff the building itself is uniquely positioned and offers a sense of security with a semi-isolated location, security doors and fingerprinting system as well as…
“The search for high quality childcare ends right here. These guys go above and beyond to make sure the kids are happy, having fun, and learning. My son routinely comes home with adorable art projects and crafts. They are constantly updating us with what he’s doing and they even send pictures! They have extra curricular activities in the spring that the kids can sign up for. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better place.” Ashley from Chisago City Mother of Leon, Preschool
“We went back and forth for months as to whether or not we should send our son to preschool this year. We couldn’t possibly be more impressed with the attention and care given to every detail of his day. Everything from the learning experiences to the food he eats has been given great care and thoughtfulness. The teachers are filled with patience and enthusiasm daily and we feel that is hard to find. Our child who often would rather stay home than go anywhere, loves school days! We couldn’t be more thankful for Children’s Discovery!” Lauren from Maplewood Mother of…
“This is the best daycare I have seen. The teachers are all very welcoming and helpful. They all like to keep an open line of communication when it comes to your child’s day and progress. They do a great job of planning activities for the children and the children enjoy doing whatever they have planned. They promote kindness and sharing. The center itself is always clean and never cluttered. I am proud to bring my child somewhere I know she will be well taken care of and have lots of fun learning new things! Would recommend to anyone!” Elizabeth from…
“My son absolutely loves it in his Pre-K classroom!! He is always excites to go to school in the morning, so much so, that sometimes doesn’t want to leave upon pick-up. All the staff and teachers are so engaged in the children’s learning and development, and they’re very welcoming and truly care about the children! The building is very well taken care of and clean. I love my daily connect app that keeps me updated with all my child is doing throughout the day!! It’s hands down the best center my child has been to and I would recommend it…
“I love the children’s Discovery in Vadnais Heights. My girls are learning a lots each day, my girls are always happy being there, the teachers are so great and caring. I am happy dropping my children off with no worries. Thanks to the great teacher’s at children’s Discovery in Vadnais Heights.” Boyennoh from St. Paul Mother of Tayelulu and Kehinde, Pre-K
“We recently started our first child in the Children’s Discovery Academy infant room and couldn’t be happier with our choice. We settled on Children’s Discovery Academy after the daycare search process because we could tell the teachers had real genuine passion and love for helping children learn and watching them grow! All of the teachers helped us navigate our anxieties those first few weeks with great insight, communication and enthusiasm for seeing our son! We get their early each day and even the cook loves seeing our son smile each morning when he arrives! We are very thankful we found…
“The staff at Children’s Discovery have been incredible. They have helped my son come out of his shell and I am continually amazed at what they teach him. I will never forget the first time he signed the word more as he was eating in his highchair. I had no idea he could do that!” Jennifer from Little Canada Mother of Finnegan, Young Toddler
“My son has been attending children’s discovery since he was 2 1/2. He started in the toddler room and has moved up through preschool and now pre-K. We have had an excellent experience with everyone from the front desk staff to teachers to kitchen staff to aids. My son has always felt comfortable in the children’s discovery environment. It has been delightful to watch him grow and develop over the years- socially, emotionally and academically. The learning that takes place in the classroom is structured yet creative. He has enjoyed enrichment programs offered as well as regular field trips. The…
