“My husband and I are so impressed with Children’s Discovery! Our daughter looks forward to attending and keeps very busy throughout the day. The kids are always learning something new, a lot of time is reserved for playing (especially outside play during the warm months). The toddlers get to experience onsite Field trips that align with their learning theme of the week. So far she has experienced magician, a baker and a zoologist that brought in some birds for dinosaur week-how cool is that! We also appreciate the well rounded meals that are served, along with numerous snacks. I’m so…

“Our daughter is in young toddler classroom and she is attending CDA since she’s 5 months old. We can’t say enough good things about this place! Such an awesome learning atmosphere with so much positivity around. We are always greeted by smiling faces in morning when we drop her off and also in the evening while picking her up. Kristi (the lead teacher in the young toddler classroom) is awesome! The schedule is very well thought out and designed to shape the young minds. Kristi also sends out the weekly theme and the whole schedule a week advance so that…

“We started at Children’s Discovery (CDA) in the infant room and now we are in the toddler room. I have enjoyed the wonderful teachers and aid’s. We have a chaotic schedule that CDA has been able to help us work around. CDA works to make sure you know if your kids are hitting certain milestones. The last few weeks have been learning about different countries.” Jessica from Vadnais Heights Mother of Maximus, Toddler

“We are very happy with Children’s Discovery for our daughter. She has the perfect balance of structured and unstructured play, outdoor time, fun activities, and healthy food that she likes to eat! We love the fact that she enjoys her teachers, and classmates and looks forward to going there to learn every week! We’re able to stay in touch with fast response times from her teachers using the Daily Connect app. We would highly recommend this daycare center! Thanks for your wonderful care!” Kathy from Little Canada Mother of Nava, Toddler

“I absolutely love children’s discovery academy. I enrolled my son at six months, he has been here for a little over a year and he loves it! Every morning he’s ready to go to school at just almost two years old! Teachers are so welcoming. They always try to keep them busy with art projects, tape stories, water play days, pj day, etc. They share photos of the kids in their activities throughout the day. My son loves them, he’s learned so much here. I know it could be scary putting your kid/s in daycare but I would definitely recommend…

“This was our daughters first time at a day care. She absolutely loves it. The teachers a friendly and informative. Having the app to see all the activities is wonderful as well. I would recommend Children’s Discovery to anyone looking for a great place to have their children. Thank you!” Devon from Vadnais Heights Father of Sophia, Toddler

“Our family has belonged to CDA for 4 years. We have attended both locations and enjoy them equally. The staff is amazing and welcoming of my youngest who still attends. The toddler room is always hopping and she has so much fun there. The amount of things she learns on a regular basis is simply amazing. It is always exciting to follow her day via daily connect and knowing she is in good hands is the reason we chose CDA!” Pam from Vadnais Heights Mother of Evelyn, Toddler

“It isn’t easy being away from my kiddo, during the day. Ms. Lauri & her assistants do such an amazing job! They are the building blocks my daughter loves to play with-adaptable, colorful, and full of potential. Their job is the most important job in the entire world, I can’t thank you ALL enough! Children’s Discovery Academy–Little Canada does their best to raise my daughter into the human being I want her to be.” Kylie from New Brighton Mother of Marleigh, Toddler

“My daughter loves coming to school. She is always happy to see her teachers every morning. It is great to be able to check on her via the app. Knowing she is happy on the pictures they send and seeing how her day is going is great part of our days. We can see how she improves by going here and how much she is learning. The staff here is great. Recommend this school to anyone.” Keith from White Bear Lake Father of Mara, Toddler

“We couldn’t be happier with Children’s Discovery. The teachers and staff are amazing, caring and responsive. Our daughter is excited to go to school every day, and it’s amazing how much she is learning. She loves it, and so do we!” Casey from White Bear Lake Mother of Olivia, Toddler

“My son has been watched by relatives all his life. As a two-year-old, he would still cry and cling to me when I dropped him off with them; nothing seemed to make it easier on him. His third week at Children’s Academy, though, he was actively walking away from me toward his teachers. On his fourth week (this week), there have even been days when he doesn’t spare me a backwards glance as he heads away from me. I know the teachers are stimulating his mind and keeping him active. I’m reassured that he is having fun, which makes my…

“I can’t say enough great things about CDA – the staff, the curriculum, the meals are all outstanding. I can’t recommend them highly enough.” Amy from Little Canada Toddler Parent

“Our son has been at CDA since 3 months old. We absolutely love all the teachers at CDA. They are great at working both individually with our son and in a group to enhance his social skills. Our son has gained so many valuable skills and has so many new opportunities.” Samara from Vadnais Heights Mother of Nolan, Toddler

“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience at CDA or more impressed with teacher Lauri. Maddie receives lots of love at school and clearly adores her teachers. It warms my heart to hear the teachers relay cute comments and stories from her day. They obviously know her very well and share in her joys. They even helped Maddie make a welcome home sign for our new baby. We have always been very impressed with Lauri’s curriculum. Maddie learns so many new words, skills, and songs each week. Her interest in learning her letters has grown exponentially. The group also…

“Before my wife and I had our first child almost 2 years ago we went visited a lot of daycare’s. Like most first time parents we were overwhelmed with all of the choices and what each place had to offer. But after meeting with Dawn and the other staff at CDA it became immediately clear, this is where our son needed to be. He has been there for over a year now and my wife and I could not be happier with our decision. The amount of support and care they provide goes above and beyond what we imagined our…

“Clyde has attended Children’s Discovery Academy of Early Learning Little Canada (“CDA”) since infancy. He is currently enrolled in Toddler and scheduled to move to up to Preschool in a few weeks. After researching every day care in the area, it was clear that CDA was the best option for Clyde. We loved the fact that the infants had their own private sleeping area, unlike every other day care that combined the sleeping space with the play space. The babies are treated with loving care and thrive under the guidance of the dedicated, long-term staff. As Clyde moved up the…

“We recently became foster parents of two beautiful (special needs) girls. The girls came to us with little speech, lacking in social skills and riveted with past trauma. We came across Children’s Discovery after making many failed phone calls to places feeling not equipped to handle such a situation. Children’s Discovery in Little Canada didn’t bat an eye when I described our situation to them and in fact they were eager to help us out. Since placing the girls in the care of Children’s Discovery Little Canada just 2 months ago, our girls have flourished tremendously! The oldest is speaking…

“Our daughter goes to daycare two days a week since she was an infant. The staff is excellent, well-trained, responsive, and flexible. The facility is welcoming for kids and parents, and secure. We appreciate the variety of activities the teachers have planned throughout the day, both inside and outside. She loves doing artwork, learning new songs, and playing with her friends. And the extras, like Soccer Shots or the Tumble Bus, keep her active which is great. We love the BabyConnect app as a way to keep up with what she’s doing, track her naps, diapers/potties, and eating. And we…

“The minute my daughter wakes up, she is so excited to go! Lauri, her toddler teacher is absolutely phenomenal! Lauri is always setting up the classroom in the morning, with different stuff to match the theme–which is so fun for the kids. She makes a detailed calendar of events and themes for the month, which helps me follow the lessons for the week. They sure keep the kids busy, and always doing activities. Daily connect is awesome–I check on my daughter throughout the day & always am sent a photo! I recommend CDA to everyone, we are so happy with…

“My son started at CDA once he turned two. We wanted him to get the social interaction with other children and have more of a “school-like” environment. He experienced those things and more! The first thing I noticed when we toured the facility was how clean and tidy every area was. We love the Daily Connect app to keep in touch, and all the fun activities and special events that they do throughout each month. More than anything, its the peace of mind I get knowing that the staff truly cares about my son and go out of their way…

“Our little girl is learning so much in the toddler room. Lauri does an excellent job planning curriculum! I’m constantly amazed at the new words/skills/songs she brings home. I also love the focus on art, music and physical activity. She loves her teachers (especially Lauri and Pan Kou) and they clearly love her. CDA has also been instrumental in helping with successful potty training. I’ve enjoyed the conferences with Lauri and have picked up some valuable tips. I also appreciate the center’s policy regarding snow days. Some centers we toured closed when the local school district declared a snow day….

“We switched our 2 year old daughter to CDA from another daycare center 4 months ago, and we have been very happy with the switch. She loves going to “school” and we have seen significant growth in her development. The curriculum is structured in a way that our daughter already knows her colors and letters, but still allows a lot of time for play and exploration. The staff is great too. Our daughter loves her teachers and always greets them with a big hug in the morning. One thing that is unique to CDA that we really appreciate, is the…

“We absolutely love CDA! Our daughter has been at CDA for about a year and in that time we have seen her grow and flourish a ton. The teachers are loving and dedicated to making sure the kids have fun and learn. Everyone at CDA is always happy and positive, it shows they love not only what they do but also all of the kids. We recently went through potty training at CDA and while we were nervous to go all-in, it has been incredibly successful, all credit to Lauri and all the toddler teachers and assistants. I highly recommend…

“Kristi in the Young Toddler room is fantastic – my son loves her, and he is so excited to get to Children’s Discovery every morning. I couldn’t be happier with our choice for daycare.” Amy from Little Canada Parent of Eddie, Young Toddler

“After going through a rocky 6 months at another daycare center, we were referred by a friend to Children’s Discovery Academy. Since the minute we walked in the door staff have been so welcoming, friendly, and phenomenal caretakers of our little girl. It is incredible to see pictures and updates throughout the day. Some days we have to “drag” her out because she wants to stay and continue playing and learning with her teachers and friends! I would recommend Children’s Discovery Academy to anyone and everyone!” Alecia from Maplewood Parent of Sophia, Toddler
