“Our son is in the toddler room at Childrens Discovery Academy, and we couldn’t be any happier with the warm, safe, nurturing environment they provide him. Our son loves to be active, so the big gym is a big plus for us. He always has time throughout the day to run, jump, and be active. He is also learning so much, it is amazing to see his growth even though he only goes there part time. I love hearing and watching my son count to 10, identify different letters, and come home with new vocabulary every time we pick him…
“Our oldest started daycare when he was almost two and we were all so nervous! Now he is 4 and our 1 year old has been in CDA since he was 3 months. We love everything about CDA, the updates, the energy, everything, but most of all the teachers! Our two have been in every room besides the kindergarten and they absolutely love it. They have learned so much!! & they are always excited to be in class. The teachers are always great about communicating and keeping us involved. I also love how small & intimate it is, everyone knows…
“Bringing our child here was a great decision. We have felt comfortable bringing her in for the last year because everyone has treated us like we are part of one big family. We get constant updates and our questions are always answered quickly. We will soon have a second child attending and we feel lucky to have found a group of teachers we can trust.” Vincent from Vadnais Heights Parent of Charlotte, Toddler
“We couldn’t be happier with the care and instruction Madeline is receiving in the toddler room. She is learning so much! The young toddler teacher Jen (who I can’t say enough positive things about) did an amazing job with the transition from infant to toddler. She taught her so many things that wouldn’t have occurred to me (e.g., how to dance and jump). She also patiently helped her learn to sit in a chair, use a cup, and say her name. I think the formal transition period between infant and toddler is a huge strength of the CDA program! Now…
“It is amazing to see how excited our son is to go to school every day! We love the way his teachers interact with him and to hear about all of the activities in which he partiticpates all day. The teachers all welcome him and engage with him from the moment he enters the room. It is very clear he is loved and valued at CDA – and we love them!” Nate from Hugo Parent of Rylan, Toddler
“After spending a year at a daycare that didn’t meet our needs, we were beyond thrilled to find the Children’s Discovery Academy! Our son has learned so much in the young toddler room, from sign language which has immensely helped our communication with him, to his social skills and ability to follow directions. His teacher Jen clearly cares for each child, and communicates well with parents. We are so grateful to CDA as a safe, nurturing, and welcoming place where our son truly thrives!” Laura from North St. Paul Parent of Fitz, Young Toddler
“When we first went inside, I thought, “Wow, it’s nice in here.” The person at the front desk was so kind and welcoming to my son. When we took our tour, he was smiling and laughing. And he continues to smile and laugh when he is there for Daycare.” Jordan from White Bear Lake Parent of Jordan, Young Toddler
“As first time parents, finding a daycare can was nerve racking. We weren’t quite sure what to look for or what questions to ask. Before our son was born, we looked at three different places. After looking at all three, we easily chose CDA….not only did we get great feeling about CDA, but a friend that works for the state daycare licensing gave it positive reviews. We are so happy that we enrolled or son in a CDA. He has been there for over two years and we love the attention and education they give him. The staff goes out…
“My wife and I both love CDA: helpful and caring staff, lots of activities. My son is always entertained. Good job!” Weiwei from Maplewood Parent of Christoph, Toddler
“We have been so happy with children’s discovery. Not only do I find the staff very caring and great to work with, but they have proven to be collaborative with brainstorming on how to best meet our child’s needs as well.” Sheena from White Bear Township Parent of Lorcan, Toddler
“We love CDA! My kids love CDA, more often that not I need to pull them away from their activities and friends at the end of the day. I am consistently amazed at all of the new things my children are learning. I know they are receiving the best care possible each and every day. The teachers are top notch, and I believe they genuinely care about these kids! We toured quite a few daycare centers 4 years ago before our daughter was born and we knew immediately CDA was the place for us. We haven’t doubted that once ever…
“We’ve been taking our little girl here since she was 12 weeks old. Now she’s 19 months She loves going to school every day. She comes home almost every day having learned something new. I love that everyone there knows her name, even if they work with other age groups.” “We feel secure and great about entrusting everyone there with her care. I like that she is with kids her own age, learning social skills and age appropriate classroom activities.” “I have recommended CDA to friends and will continue to do so.” Rachel from St. Paul Parent of Elizabeth, Young…
“We have had a great experience with Children’s Discovery Academy. The staff there at CDA truly care about the kids there! I know that my babies are given love and attention. I would definitely recommend anyone to bring their kids here (and I have!) The communication with the online Daily Connect site is amazing and creates an easy way for parents to stay informed throughput the day.” Kelly from Roseville Parent of Sawyer & Ivy, Toddler & Infant Programs
“We have our two boys in the pre-kindergarten and toddler classrooms, and both absolutely love it! They love their teachers, we love their teachers, and their teachers love them. They are both learning at a steady pace, and their days are filled with activity. We love receiving our Daily Connect updates and being able to be in communication with the teachers, if need be. The office staff are amazing, as well, and will go to the ends of the Earth to find the answer to a question!” Sara from Little Canada Parent of Gabriel and Maximillian, Pre-K & Toddler Programs
“Our little has so much fun at CDA. She has so much fun playing with her teachers and little friends. It amazes me to see how much she learns on a daily basis. I also love the communication that comes with CDA, the Daily Connect application is the best! I can see the different activities my daughter participates in throughout the day, and it is always a bonus when pictures get posted! CDA is the perfect fit for our family and we recommend them to everyone we know!” Pam from Vadnais Heights Parent of Olivia, Young Toddler Program
“We absolutely love CDA in every way. The experience of dropping your child off is seamless, the teachers are always welcoming and prepared. They accommodate every need you have and are pro-active in communicating any needs they may have. The mobile app they use is wonderful and keeps you in touch with your child throughout the day. I would highly recommend CDA to everyone I know.” Dan from Vadnais Heights Parent of Olivia, Young Toddler Program
“My son started going to Children’s Discovery Academy about 7 month’s ago and it was the best decision I made. They have been so welcoming every day, day in and day out. I honestly can’t picture my son being any where else. Teachers are kind, very secure and a nice online update of your kids day. I would recommend children’s discovery academy to absolutely everyone. This would be your best decision!” Bryan from New Brighton Father of Juliano, Toddler Program
“Merissa’s world is also in HD thanks to Children’s Discovery. As a parent you have concerns about what your kids are doing all day, while you are at work. My family has been with children’s discovery since Merissa’s sister Meranda was a toddler. So I know that they are well taking care off. I love the fact that as times have changed and the world is changing the daycare is taking steps by making sure they are up to date. I greatly appreciate that fact that I can log-in at any time and see what Merissa is doing and every…
“The center has been a great place for our kids to learn with their peers, with a dedicated and friendly staff. Potty training is right on schedule, with encouragement from the young toddler room, and the variety and quality of meals and snacks means both kids are really trying a lot of different foods. On Fridays, Maggie gets so excited about the Tumble Fun Bus that she can’t wait to get to school.” Stephanie from Vadnais Heights Mother of Maggie and Matt, Toddler and Infant Programs
“Our children have attended CDA for nearly five years. Our two oldest our now in the school-age before and after school program and attend on non school days. Our youngest is in the toddler room and will soon be moving up to preschool. All three children really enjoy attending CDA. They look forward to all the fun activities that the staff prepare each week. The toddler program is very imaginative and we are always impressed by how much our toddler is learning. The school age program does an excellent job of keeping the older children engaged and they always offer…
“This is entitled Merissa’s world as every morning, Merissa smiles and says school. She enjoys every minute at CDA. She has been attending for the past 1 ½ and I cannot think of one bad experience. She is happy to be dropped off every day and play and learn with her friends. As she has gotten older we our noticing things that the school is teaching her that we haven’t really even touched on yet or at least we as parents didn’t know that she knew certain things. For example we were sitting on the couch one day awhile back…
“After thoroughly researching centers in the area and receiving over 10 recommendations, we confidently enrolled our daughter at CDA. All the staff, including those in the older toddler classroom, are wonderful with the children and friendly & helpful for all parents. My daughter became comfortable quite quickly thanks to the teachers and is excited to go to CDA. I trust the staff of CDA and that is not something that comes automatically for me so I believe that says a lot about CDA. Don’t hesitate to enroll your children at CDA – if anything you’ll regret not enrolling at CDA!”…
“As somebody who has spent many years as a Childcare Teacher myself, I was extremely picky when it came to finding a center for my children. I did a lot of research and more tours than I can remember. It turns out, Children’s Discovery fit criteria for things I didn’t even know I was looking for, it was the feeling and look of the classrooms that made the decision. Yes, they are excellently rated and have great credentials, but seeing that the infants and toddlers were broken into groups within their rooms and that the furniture was warm and exciting…
“Children’s Discovery is a wonderful place. Our son is cared for as if he were family. He learns so much during the day while having fun with the teachers and friends in his class. He is always excited when we tell him that today he gets to go see his friends. That includes his teachers. He loves all of them. As parents we feel secure knowing that while we can’t be with him he is in a nurturing, caring, and safe environment. We recently moved, but we’ve kept our son at Children’s Discovery because we can’t imagine we’ll ever find…
“I love how caring everyone is at Children’s Discovery. I truly feel that each teacher and staff member really cares for each and every child. They make each child feel special and that means the world the me as a working mom. It’s hard enough leaving your children each day. I know that they are getting love, learning and socializing at CDA. I love that I can see updates on daily connect. It makes me feel connected to my children and comforts me knowing they are o.k. I am so happy we found CDA when we moved here!” Jamee of…
