“Our son just started in the infant room, and like any new parent, I was extremely nervous. Dawn and the other staff in the infant room made my husband and I feel at ease when we went to visit and I immediately felt better. On my son’s first day, we received a very nice note from Dawn on the Daily Connect app (which we LOVE following along throughout the day) that morning and the staff sent us pictures of our son throughout the day which helped put us at ease. Although we are brand new to CAD, we already love…

“Picking a daycare for our oldest child was a difficult and nerve wracking decision. However, I now know we made the right decision. Our oldest is 3 years old now and was enrolled at CDA since she was 12 weeks old. Each day she is happy to go to school and happy to tell us about her day. Our youngest is 4 months old and at 4 months old, we can see the same reactions in her personality when she goes to school as we see in our oldest. Each morning as soon she hears the voices of the infant…

“CDA is wonderful in every way, when we started looking for child care for our daughter we toured a few facilities around town and instantly fell in love with CDA. The warm welcome we have received from them since we start having our daughter attend has made the transition from my wife staying home each day to working again so much easier. The staff is friendly and welcoming and they have always been responsive to our and her needs.  We love it here!” Dan of Vadnais Heights, MN Father of Olivia, Infant Program

“We chose CDA based on recommendation from friends. Lizzie is our first, and we started the search for a child care center long before she was born. We looked at several other places, and we were so impressed with CDA’s facilities, staff and approach to care and education that we signed up almost immediately. We started her in the infant room at 10 weeks old, and we are so happy with how caring, attentive and fun the ladies who care for her every day are. We are really looking forward to having her there for years to come.” Rachel of…

“After having a short 6-week maternity leave, I knew it was going to be difficult to leave my baby for the first time. The infant classroom made it so comforting for me to embrace this transition. We reviewed a LOT of other day care facilities, and each time I left I never felt secure about leaving my child there, and it wasn’t until we visited CDA facility in Vadnais Heights that I finally felt that peace. I cried the whole way home after visitation because I knew we found the right care and was realizing I had to leave my…

“Children’s Discovery Academy has provided what I call Merissa’s World. As a parent when looking for child care I was not impressed with many of the facilities that I had visited, until I stopped back in to Children’s Discovery Academy. My other daughter attend the Academy from toddler through school age. She is now in the 6th grade. One of the great things about Children’s Discovery Academy is the staff and most of the people that were there then are still there now. They pay detailed attention to each child and ensure that the child has everything they need. I call…

“Katie has been attending Children’s Discovery Infant room for several months. I’ve been amazed at how much Katie has progressed during her time there. The teachers truly care about each child and give them each the attention they need. Thank you Children’s Discovery!” Kim of Little Canada, MNMother of Katie, Infant Program

“My husband and I began our search for a daycare provider prior to our daughter’s birth. We toured at least a dozen daycare centers. The moment we arrived at Children’s Discovery, we knew it was the place for us! Everyone was so friendly, the building is bright and clean, and the children seem happy and content! The infant room sold us, all of the babies were playing, talking, crawling around, they are all so happy! Dawn and her team are amazing – you can feel the genuine adoration these ladies have for the kiddos! I would absolutely recommend Children’s Discovery…

“Claire is our first child and as most new parents are, my husband and I were very nervous about selecting a day care. We are so lucky we found CDA! It was the only place we walked out of during our selection process and felt 100% comfortable with the care our child would receive. From the start, the infant teachers asked what our daughter’s (and our) needs were. The worked with our feeding and napping schedule during the early stages. Often times, they were the first ones to notice Claire’s needs were changing and suggest changes to allow her to…

“When my husband and I walked into Children’s Discovery before we had our first child we were welcomed warmly. It was nice to see a school-like environment, where children were actively engaged in learning and playing. We decided to enroll Addison in Children’s Discovery because it offered individualized attention and enriching programs and curriculum. We also love that they have been very flexible with planning Addison’s care with our work schedules that are ever changing. Addison loves the teachers and activities that she gets to participate in at Children’s Discovery. When she is dropped off she is always smiling and…

“We believe that quality early childhood education has a significant impact on the child’s growth and development. After researching all child care options in the area, we made an easy decision to place our son into the caring hands of CDA teachers. Our son is ahead of all developmental milestones, and we have no doubts that CDA has significantly contributed to that. We have certainly made the right decision!” Arina of Vadnais Heights, MNMother of Gabriel, Infant Program

“My daughter started at Children’s Discovery approximately three months ago and I am very happy that we chose Children’s Discovery. The Infant teacher, assistants and aides are great with my daughter. The staff are very engaging with my daughter and the other children. The other children in the classroom are very well behaved. My daughter always has a smile on her face when I pick her up at the end of the day. I was looking for a daycare that provided a nurturing environment for my child. I was also looking for a daycare that provided educational opportunities for my…

“The staff at the center, especially in the infant room, go above and beyond our expectations on a regular basis. They keep an eye out for those subtle little things that can often be overlooked. We hear from them on a daily basis when we drop him off and pick him up about how he is doing, what has been happening and the various experiences he has everyday. All in all, we are very happy to have Children’s Discovery in our neighborhood caring for our son. And we can tell he likes it too!” John of White Bear Lake, MN…

“There is certainly no shortage of things for a first-time Mom to stress about, and finding the right daycare was definitely at the top of my list! I’m so happy to say that I couldn’t be more thrilled with the choice of Children’s Discovery. Today, Jake is a happy, active almost ten month old and I just know that a huge part of who he is comes from the excellent “Mom’s Away From Mom” care he has received. I completely trust that Dawn and her whole team love and care for him in the same manner I do and that…

“My husband and I decided on Children’s Discovery, a few months before Ethan was born. We quickly decided Children’s Discovery was the best fit for our family because it was locally owned and operated. Giving back to the community is very important to us and knowing that well respected daycare was local won us over immediately. My expectations for Children’s Discovery and particularly his classroom were that he be given lots of new experiences and cared about like he was his teacher’s child. Not only have these expectations been met, they have been exceeded. I know Ethan is cared for…

“We chose to bring our son to Children’s Discovery primarily because of the convenient location, the reasonable tuition rates, we liked the learning curriculum and it just felt “right” when we visited the center in Vadnais Heights. We had already been on tours at several other daycare centers and Children’s Discovery ultimately was the best choice for us. Since Aiden first began attending Children’s Discovery, we have been very satisfied. All of the employees are very caring and always keep Aiden’s needs in mind. We want him to be in a safe and clean environment and Children’s Discovery does just…
