“We couldn’t be happier with the service they provide and the environment for Taylor. She loves all the teachers and kids and was accepted from day one. It’s always nice to pick her up knowing she is been taken care of and in a structured environment with fun time and home work time. Would recommend to anyone.” Charlie from White Bear Lake Parent of Taylor, School-Age

“After moving from Illinois and not knowing the area, we looked into many other daycares around our new apartment. We instantly knew that Children’s Discovery was the perfect fit for our first grader. His teachers are thoughtful and educated. Even though he is there for a short time, he always has so much fun. He usually likes it when we pick him up late so he can spend more time there. We appreciate all that the center does and love the focus on education and care.” Kim from Vadnais Heights Parent of Conner, School-Age Program

“On the first day back to first grade after spending a multiple day break at CDA, my daughter said the sweetest thing. In the morning as we were getting ready she said to me, “I wish I could go to Heather’s class [school age room] every day!” I asked if she was unhappy at her other school. She said that she really likes her school, but going to CDA was the best. She talks a lot about how excited she is to spend her summer at CDA. It’s always great when a teacher makes a difference in a child’s life,…

“The school age room is fantastic. When the kids get off the bus, the teachers check their homework folders and make sure everyone does their homework first. The teachers and students help each other and it frees up a little time in the evening for us to have fun as a family. After not seeing my kids all day and with how rushed the evenings are, I don’t have to worry about trying to get homework done, make dinner, and get a bath in. It’s like having a tutor everyday!” Jamee from Vadnais Heights Mother of Chloe, School-Age Program

“We have two children at Children’s discovery and have experienced all the classrooms and couldn’t be happier. They have extremely high standards, they are fun, they love working with children and they are very responsive and helpful to parents. They always make my children feel loved. We love the curriculum and activities and the extra opportunities offered. The teachers are always so friendly and engaging. Our oldest in school-age always has her homework done before we pick her up and her pre-K experience helped prepare her for kindergarten and first grade. Our preschooler is always so excited to go to…

“I enrolled my son Max in the Pre Kindergarten class two years ago at Children’s Discovery in Vadnais Heights. I had the normal concerns any parent would have leaving their child in someone else’s care… Will my child be engaged? Will he be cared for? Will he be seen and treated as an individual? Will they feed him well and make sure he is safe? Will they communicate with me and respond to my concerns? Resoundingly I have found the answers to be yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. The staff welcomed us as individuals and made Max feel at…

“When we moved I was really sad that we had to switch daycare providers since we loved the one we were attending but I knew right away that Children’s Discovery was going to be the type of place I would trust to leave my children. My children love the teachers and the curriculum. The teachers and staff are easy to work with and help make things as easy as possible for parents. The teachers are kind and understanding and I know my children are not only learning what they need to succeed when they enter kindergarten, but they are also…

“My kids have been attending Vadnais Heights Children’s Discovery for about 5 months now, and we finally feel like we have found a safe place for them to grow! We were recommended to try Children’s Discovery by the state employees who actually license daycare centers, so they know the ins and the outs of all daycares in the state. We are so thankful that we found not only a safe environment, but also a very affordable environment for our family! Since day one, the staff has been wonderful and Kristen has been especially friendly and helpful with our family’s needs!…

“We were placed in a situation where our friend whom was caring for our children decided to go back to work, and we needed to find full-time child care for our 2 children, 3 & 5 y/o. I was very uneasy about leaving my 3 y/o in a strange home without the 5 y/o there to tell me what was happening – we have had 2 other very bad experiences with in home day cares, from children being left alone without any adult in the house, to loosing my child in the mall whole the provider was shoe shopping, to…

“Our children have been attending CDA since Fall of 2008 and we’ve never looked back. For us, it was an easy choice since it’s a very convenient location, but also because we’d heard wonderful comments from others. Everyday we feel comfortable as we leave them in the hands of the staff and teachers and they are always friendly and helpful. They have helped our children through potty training up to the transition of heading off to Kindergarten. The center has provided them a comfortable place to learn and explore and we have all made friends with other children and families….

“My children have attended Children’s Discovery since they were babies. Friendship!! My children are still friends with children they went to toddlers or preschool with. They moved on to different schools but yet remain friends. My son moved on to elementry school a bit leary of what would happen, when he saw his friends from Children’s Discovery everything was o.k.In having these friendships, I feel that my children have more confidence and a fun outlook on life. Thank you Children’s Discovery.” Lauri of Hugo, MNMother of Jack & Lucy, Before & After School Program  

“I am Happy with Children Discovery because My Son loves it he likes the teachers there and the new friends he made. This Daycare works very good with my working schedule, I am very Happy with this Daycare. I would recommend it to all the parents.” Claudia Munguia of Little Canada, MNMother of Jafet, Before & After School Program  

“I am very happy with Children’s Discovery Academy. My son comes to before and after daycare and he loves it. He would rather stay in daycare then go to school. That’s how I know he is very comfortable here. I love the timing is very flexible for my schedule and the teachers and staff are very professional. This is one reason I don’t want to move from Little Canada. I recommend this to all busy parents. This gives me the peace of mind that my son is in good hands.” Claudia of Little Canada, MNMother of Jafet, School Age Program

“My daughter is entering the third grade and it is wonderful that the bus picks her up and drops her off right at Children’s Discovery. She never has to stand outside in bad weather and I never have to worry about how long she is waiting or what may happen while she is waiting for the bus. Everyday and adult walks the kids from the center to the bus steps and meets them at the bus steps each night. During the rare instance when there are school transportation problems, the staff at the center are on the phone with the…

“This is not just a day care center. Let’s be honest, this is a 2nd home for our child. He has spent more time there than at our home. As a working parent, we need to be reassured that our child will be comfortable when he is away from us. The staff are very caring, very alert to any problems (one of them actually suggested that our son had asthma – and she was right!), nurturing, fun, calm, bright and loving. In addition to just taking care of our child, they actually teach them things. They expand on common knowledge…

“Both my children have been enrolled at Children’s Discovery since infancy and they now participate in the school age program. My husband’s and my, and more importantly my children’s, experience has been extraordinary. The children enjoy the programs, (school as they call it), the activities and outings and the friends they have developed at both campuses. We all truly enjoy the staff and teachers. The few concerns over the last 10 years that we have voiced have been promptly addressed and resolved. It really is a comfort to me as a working mom to know my children are in good…

“Both Christopher and Patrick started at Children’s and moved through the Kindergarten program. Both boys have been tested as gifted and are making excellent grades. More importantly, however, they are both very well adjusted and very social young people. Your program worked great for us! I would not hesitate to recommend your program (and in fact I have) to other parents. Every day we see living proof of the importance of Quality Early Childhood Education. It builds the foundation for your child’s social, emotional and academic future. Quality, long-term teachers who understand the developmental process of learning will be instrumental…

“My husband and I were very fortunate to have found Children’s Discovery, and are very glad that we have sent our children through the program. Their self-esteem is high, and I attribute much of this to the guidance, nurturing and structure of the center. The teachers are experienced, kind, warm and have the ability to teach the children respect, safety and so much more. I truly believe by the experiences they have had through the preschool classes, and then the wonderful Kindergarten program, that they have a solid foundation that will benefit them through their school age years.” CarlaMother of…

“We are very satisfied and happy with the care that has been provided to my son who has been at Children’s Discovery for 5 years and my daughter who has been here for 1 year! I really like the staff who is very friendly and always cheerful! I highly recommend Children’s Discovery to my friends. Kindergarten program is specially good due to the 1:8 teacher/student ratio! My child gets a lot of attention!! Thanks!” Asha of Little CanadaMother of Akash, Kindergarten Program

“25 years ago, we brought our son to what was then called ‘Little Canada Child Care Center’, at the ripe old age of 3 years old. Karl was a shy child, who spent many of his first mornings looking out the window as I left him there, crying his little heart out. Of course, through time, he grew and blossomed into a very social little person. He went to Kindergarten there, and was fortunate enough to soak up every bit of knowledge that was put in front of him. He graduated Kindergarten (complete with cap and gown) and we left…

“We decided to bring our children to Children’s Discovery after we had some difficulties at our prior center. Our previous center lacked an organized preschool program and we were looking for a more structured program with lots of learning activities. When we started at Children’s Discovery, we weren’t quite sure what to expect. The teachers and staff were really great during our tour but we didn’t expect them to continue to be so caring and involved after we started. The preschool teachers took the time to work with our son and help him adjust to the new changes and structure….

Our son is enrolled in full-time daycare and started out in the toddler room. He is now in the process of advancing from preschool to prekindergarten. My husband and I have been very happy with Children’s Discovery. The teachers are excellent; the hours are flexible and most important – we feel he is safe and learning new skills. We are fortunate this school serves both breakfast and lunch. They have a clean environment with a great outdoor play area. Many extra classes are offered throughout the year which I highly encourage children to participate in; soccer, computer classes and dance…
