“My son’s language skills have been developing rampantly every day! He recently moved from the infant room to the toddler room. CDA facilitates a two week transition period between classrooms to help the child ease into a new routine. By his first official day in the toddler room, there were no tears and he was excited to get the day started. CDA clearly knows what they’re doing! I highly recommend CDA not only for the great childcare they provide, but also the curriculum they use to help children develop. It’s amazing seeing my son come home with new words in…

“We have been so happy at CDA! Our son started in the infant class and is now in toddlers. All of the teachers and staff have been so wonderful and genuinely seem to care about our son. We love all the updates we get throughout the day and he has been learning so much everyday. We are amazed at all the new skills we notice! Our second son is about to start in the infant room and we are so happy he will have the same teachers his brother does. It is much easier to go back to work knowing…

“We could not be more satisfied with our experience at Children’s Discovery Academy and would not hesitate recommending the center to anyone. Every day, I am so impressed with everything – how caring the teachers are, everything my daughter is learning every day, the constant communication, etc. We love that lunch is provided every day and that a variety of extra curricular classes are offered during the school day. Overall, it is such a great center and we are so happy with our decision to enroll our daughter!” Amanda from Roseville Mother of Maddie, Preschool

“The infant room has been a wonderful place for our daughter to learn and grow. The staff are always very nurturing and caring. They have helped our daughter develop and have provided opportunities for her to socialize and try new things. There is a strong sense of family in the infant room and they are always welcoming.” Katie from Vadnais Heights Mother of Greta, Infant

“Our daughter Wren has been at Children’s Discovery since she was seven months old. Now at five years, her development has been outstanding and we could not be happier with where she is at going into kindergarten both academically and socially. She’s loved her teachers and looks forward to the extra curricular activities that all take place during school, from athletics, dance, Spanish to music. She is thriving and we can not thank the teachers and staff enough. We will be sad to leave in the Fall.” Missy from St. Paul Mother of Wren, Pre-Kindergarten

“I love what I see at Children’s Discovery Academy! I am not a parent of Owen, but one of his grandparents. As a special education teacher I realize the patience and love of children that it takes to do what the staff at Children’s Discovery Academy does. Whenever I pick Owen up I can tell how caring the staff is and how much Owen likes them. The daily updates and pictures are SO fun to read and look at. I look forward to it each day. I’m not sure how they find time to post what they do. It’s so…

“We’ve been a Children’s Discovery family for 7 years and will never consider going anywhere else! The teachers and care provided at CDA are truly exceptional in EVERY classroom. We have children ages 3-13 and have tried other centers before discovering CDA, but nothing compares to the love, support, and awesome education at CDA.” Michelle from Vadnais Heights Mother of Avery, Preschool

“CDA has continued to impress our family. Our son loves his teachers and is hard to pull away at the end of the day. We are kept up to speed on how he is doing with updates to Daily Connect. Staff are friendly, respectful, and share helpful tips about how we can manage challenging behaviors at home. The annual process of reviewing progress with parents is also great. Dax is our first so we’re not always sure when to tackle new skills like dressing himself, potty training, etc. CDA provides support for kids learning these skills there and also shares…

“We toured a lot of daycares before choosing Children’s Discovery Academy. From the moment we walked in and met with the staff, we knew this was the one. We were instantly impressed, and the teachers are wonderful. We truly feel comfortable with everyone of them! She has learned so much since starting, and she absolutely loves it. We’d recommend Children’s Discovery Academy to anyone.” Stephanie from Little Canada Mother of Scout, Toddler

“I have a four year old and a 1 and ½ year old who attend CDA. They love going to school and it is evident the teachers genuinely care for them. Teacher Casi in Pre-K is a very skilled teacher who is clearly knowledgeable about children’s development. She clearly puts a lot of effort into her curriculum and is very adept at communicating with children and parents. We have noticed an incredible jump in social maturity and independence since our daughter has transferred to the Pre-K room. She loves her teachers (Joy, Sarah) and is excited to show them new…

“My son Aiden is thriving very well in Kindergarten and I believe it is because of what he learned and gained from being part of Children’s Discovery. He very much enjoyed his teachers and was very excited to be going there. He learned to be generous, respectful and confident. There is always new and exciting events which is one of many reasons he never wanted to leave. They have a great learning curriculum and they are very attentive and protective of the children. The teachers and the administrators are very accommodating and supportive of what our son and the others…

“Our son has been in enrolled for 1 year and we have had a very positive experience. Since enrolling, his social & emotional, physical, language and intellectual skills have all grown so much. Just as important my son loves going to school. He is always excited to talk about his teachers, friends and activities. We are happy with the toddler program and believe my son receives a high quality of care from teachers!” Michael from Vadnais Heights Father of Isaac, Toddler

“Children’s Discovery has won me over! As a father of three, my wife and I did not have a need for childcare for our first two. I was very nervous and felt like I was letting my child down by choosing childcare instead of working less but my fears were put at ease immediately by the daily updates and the attention my child receives each day I drop him off. When we come in my child is hesitant but each day one of his teachers will greet him and include him right away! At home, Louie is active and playfully…

“We feel so happy we chose Children’s Discovery Academy for our child. All staff treat our child like their own and it is clear he feels loved each and every day. Daily connect is such a nice touch and allows us to know what is happening during our child’s day.” Nick from Vadnais Heights Father of Owen, Toddler

“We’ve had our son enrolled at Children’s Discovery for over two years now and we can’t say enough about this daycare. The teacher and curriculum are outstanding. The growth we have seen in our son is exponential! We recommend Children’s Discovery to anyone on need of a daycare. Thank you for everything Children’s Academy!” Matt from Vadnais Heights Father of Carter, Preschool

“AJ has been to 4 different daycare centers. CDA is by far the best we as a family has experienced. Staff is absolutely wonderful. The learning curriculums are well thought about. CDA is a very welcoming environment!” Anthony from Hugo Father of Anthony, Pre-Kindergarten

“Words cannot express what Children’s Discovery Academy means to our family. From drop off to pick up and everything in between we wouldn’t change a thing. The incredible staff has fresh and joyful energy each day and I get updates and photos via an app so that I can see what Judd is up to. I can even correspond directly with the teachers if I have a question! Most importantly it’s priceless to see the joy on Judd’s face as we waves goodbye to me at the window and when he comes home having learned something new. There is no…

“The Pre-Kindergarten team has been accommodating in so many ways this year and we are grateful for their support. They have a variety of activities that are appropriate for our son and he has learned so much this school year.” Charlie from Vadnais Heights Father of Nick, Pre-Kindergarten

“My husband Eric and I looked at several places before deciding to send our 3 year old Louie to Children’s Discovery Academy. We are so glad we made the right choice! They offer a Daily Connect App so we can be regularly updated throughout the days he is in attendance. He is learning new things each week and making friends at school. We trust his teachers to give him the best possible care, and we know that he is being offered lots of nutritious food options too! We are so thankful for CDA and happily recommend the center to anyone…

“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….
