“When it comes to my boys, I strive to make sure they get the best I can offer them. A great deal of thought and research went into care provider options before interviewing and selecting Children’s Discovery. During the interview, follow-up, and enrollment the staff is excited to get to know you, include you and be the best they can be. I find this behavior to be top tier and well beyond their nearest competitor, New Horizon. My boys came with special nuances that required the extra mile, and Sam and Brit were more than willing to step in, stay…

“As a single parent, it was very important for me to choose a childcare provider that my child would love, as she attends full-time. The teachers and staff are amazing and understanding and readily share updates and tidbits about her day, and even photos on the DailyConnect app, which is huge for me. My child comes home every day spouting things she’s done with her teachers and friends, and new things she’s learned. Every morning she’s happy to go to school, which was never the case with some of our previous childcare providers. Also, in these weird covid-times, CDA is…

“Our four-year-old Louie has learned so much this past year at CDA. We are so grateful for the fabulous teachers, and safe, caring environment of Children’s Discovery Academy. During these times of so much uncertainty, it is invaluable to our family to have such a wonderful place to bring our precious child to while we are busy at work. Can not recommend this place more highly!!” Rebecca from St. Paul Mother of Louie, Pre-Kindergarten

“We have been so happy with our experience at CDA, and the best part is that our daughter loves it too! The staff are so caring and there is great communication with them. We love the updates on Daily Connect! We also love that meals are provided, there are extracurricular options, and the vacation policy is a huge bonus. We feel like there is a great balance of having fun and playing, but also great learning activities.” Amanda from Roseville Mother of Madison, Pre-Kindergarten

“We have been attending Children’s Discovery Academy for over two years now. I feel very confident and safe with my children here. Especially during a pandemic, I am very thankful for all the precautions and extra steps that the teachers and staff take to make sure everyone is safe. Teachers and staff wear masks and temperatures are taken when kids are dropped off at school. During these challenging times, my kids are still getting the best care and education they can. The teachers are upbeat, positive, and genuinely love what they do. I love watching my kids grow and flourish…

CDA

“CDA’s teachers are all great! Overall our kids really like their classes and have a lot of fun. Teachers are all really involved and helpful. One thing to note is that all preschoolers (about age 3+) need to be potty trained so if you’ve got a kid that isn’t trained or has a lot of accidents that can be tough since no pull-ups are allowed. Overall it’s a great center though, teachers do their best to make sure the kids are learning and have what they need to be happy and healthy!” Kelly from Roseville Mother of Daxton and Maeve,…

“Eli loves going to preschool every day and that’s because of the wonderful teachers and staff. CDA is little community filled with love for all the kids. They have been wonderful at teaching my kids life skills as well as preparing them for school. I’m grateful for the teachers and staff at CDA.” Tasha from Little Canada Mother of Eli, Preschool

“I have brought all three of my children here. They have an excellent curriculum and activities. The teachers genuinely care about the children and help facilitate and encourage a love of play and learning. With Covid, the school has done an amazing job of communicating and helping to keep everyone safe.” Melanie from Shoreview Mother of William, Preschool

“When I was pregnant with my first I toured and instantly loved CDA. Unfortunately, there were no infant openings at the time. We settled on another center but I still hoped I could get him in. Fast forward a few years and we made the switch. It was clear we made the right decision quickly. He was so happy, chatty, and excited after daycare. We welcomed our second son in July and he attends CDA as well. I love seeing him smile when he sees his teachers because I know he’s happy and well take care of. CDA has the…

“We were referred to Children’s Discovery by another CDA family and could not be happier! We came from a different preschool and are continuously impressed by CDA. The teachers in both the preschool and pre-kindergarten rooms have truly embraced our kids for who they are. The education they are receiving is exceptional and the enrichment activities available are great! Soccer shots, Tumble Fun Bus, and Play, Tap and Go music class are just some that our kids have loved! We would definitely recommend CDA to any family!” Mallory from Minneapolis Mother of Alex and Theo, Pre-Kindergarten and Preschool

“CDA was a welcomed relief for our family when we moved to MN during the summer of 2020. With the additional stress of the Covid pandemic, we wanted a school that took appropriate precautions, while allowing our kids to continue to develop and grow. CDA has the perfect balance we needed. One of our kids is in the Infant room. Kristi and her team are amazing! Our son loves going to school and we have peace of mind knowing they are taking great care of him. Our second child is in the Preschool class. Sam and her team keep our…

“We have been so happy with both our children at CDA! We started our children in the infant classroom and our oldest is now in preschool. All of the teachers truly care about the children and our kids are so happy to go to school each day. Overall, the staff has a very low turnover rate, so we have loved having both our children have the same teachers. They have learned so much and we have learned various activities to keep our kids learning and entertained at home. We also love the constant communication and updates we get throughout the…

“The staff and teachers managed the COVID restrictions brilliantly. I was glad that my son could still play, learn, and see his friends in 2020.” Tammy from White Bear Lake Mother of Jordan, Preschool

March 2, 2021

“We are so happy with our decision to enroll our daughter at Children’s Discovery Academy! We previously had her at a daycare center, but with approaching the age of 4, and the uncertainty with how schools will be due to covid, we wanted her to be in a more structured environment for daycare/school.. it was the best choice!! She LOVES going to daycare/school and is super excited to share with us what she’s learned that day. The staff are amazing! Very approachable and they work with you if have specific requests or needs for your child.” Tammi from White Bear…

“Our daughter absolutely loves going to school every day. She had learned so much at Childrens Discovery from writing her name, to counting objects, building strong social skills, and strong independence. Childrens Discovery has wonderful teachers that go above and beyond for the kids. We also love that there are enrichment experiences offered at school such as dance, music, soccer, and the Tumble Fun Bus. It makes it easy for our kids to try new things but because it’s at school it frees up more time at home with our family.” Katie from Vadnais Heights Mother of Lydia, Preschool

March 24, 2020

“We love CDA! Our girls always look forward to going to school where they get to see their friends and teachers, work on their projects, and earn things from the “treasure box.” The teachers are fantastic and work really hard to keep the students engaged, and make learning fun. The campus is very nice and our girls ALWAYS get tired FROM and not of playing in the gym or the expansive play area outside. I am always confident that CDA is taking every measure to keeping our little ones safe, whether it be the check-in/out system or the state of…

March 24, 2020

“We selected CDA after touring a couple other daycare centers. We liked that CDA was a locally-owned center and the lengthy tenures of the administrators and teachers told us that the staff enjoyed their work and were committed to the organization. Less than a month after our son started at CDA he was diagnosed with hip dysplasia which required special care and accommodations. Kristi and the other teachers in the infant classroom didn’t skip a beat. They adapted to our son’s needs and it made the challenge we were facing so much easier. We can’t thank them enough for everything…

“We love this center! The teachers are warm and caring, the facility is bright and clean, and the curriculum is fun and engaging. Our son loves going to school, and we love partnering with CDA to help raise him in the best way. I highly recommend this center to any parent!” Arielle from Little Canada Mother of Eddie, Toddler

“My son likes school so much, he assigns himself homework. He studies his numbers and letters at home without being asked.” Tammy from White Bear Lake Mother of Jordan, Preschool

March 24, 2020

“Our girls both love going to Children’s Discovery in Little Canada! Alternately “going to school” or “going to work” (to be like mommy and daddy) is something they look forward to every day! The staff have been great for the girls and very easy to work with. Whether we need extra days on short notice or have questions on billing, activities, etc, we know they will always do their best for us and our family. We love the extra activities available as well, including field trips, music class, soccer, Spanish, and I’m sure I’m leaving some out. We’ve recommended Children’s…

“I have 7 children, and Children’s Discovery Academy has been apart of my family for just over 14 years. All of my children have attended the program, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I leave my children knowing that they are in good hands. The staff are well trained, the center is well maintained, the curriculum is wonderful, and most of , ALL of my children are happy with their care while there. They are always happy when I drop them off and happy when I pick them up. Having a child with food allergies, and asthma, I was very…

“I first learned about CDA from my sister, who used to have my niece and nephew attend when she lived in St. Paul. I’ve heard nothing but great things and seen how it’s one of the top rated centers for kids. I love CDA because it’s been nothing but amazing from the beginning. My daughter has been there almost 2 months and I’m glad I made the switch when it was needed for us. The elementary styled building gives it that spacious, organized and welcoming feel when you come. The staff is always so friendly, the place is secure and…

“Our child was very well cared for and nurtured by the staff. They actually were like a second family. The environment is VERY positive and well balanced between play time and learning. When she started kindergarten her teacher couldn’t believe how well prepared she was. I have recommended Children’s Discovery to other parents and will continue to give my full endorsement to the staff and positive learning environment.” Julie from St. Paul Grandmother of Jasey, Pre-Kindergarten

March 24, 2020

“We have brought all three of our boys here (Little Canada location), and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Our kids received great care throughout their time here. The teachers are wonderful and take an active interest in the kids! My kids enjoyed the many enrichment programs that were available, and I appreciate that they can do activities (soccer, dancing, music, etc) in-house; much less driving for our family! I also love the varied programming across the year; picnics, water days, field trips, book fairs, and dance parties. It keeps things fresh and interesting. On top of the great programming…

“I have two children enrolled in CDA Little Canada. My daughter has been attending CDA since she was 9 months old. We loved her teachers in the Infant room. Her regular teacher was Miss Kristi, who provided excellent care. She has since moved to the Toddler room with Miss Sam and she is learning and developing at such a rapid pace! My son started in the Pre-School room with Miss Amberly about a year ago. He has also improved greatly in his communication skills, is more confident and talkative vs. when he first arrived. I am hopeful he will be…
