“Makani attends CDA only two days per week. I think this led to a somewhat difficult adjustment period for her and she had a very hard time for the first couple of weeks being dropped off and taking naps. The CDA staff were wonderful at helping her get calmed down and comfortable though and their obvious concern for her happiness made it much easier on mom and dad when it came time to leave!” Eric of White Bear Lake Father of Makani, Toddler Program

“This is the second daycare center our daughter has attended. At CDA she gets much more attention and stimulation. She truly seems happier. They engage her in activities and more advanced play then her previous daycare. The providers seem to adore the children. Our daughter adjusted very quickly and has grown so much at this center. They keep the kids buys with enriching activity. The center is very well run and organized. Being a former preschool teacher I feel at CDA they are doing an excellent job of providing the children with educational and stimulating activities.” Theresa of Little Canada…

“CDA does a great job at keeping us informed of our son’s activities, food intake, sleep, and mood throughout the day. It is such great peace of mind to be able to know so much even though we aren’t with him during the day!” Christy of Hugo, MN Mother of Colton, Young Toddler Program

“We have been so impressed with Children’s Discovery Academy from the first day we dropped off our son. From the caring staff, flexible schedules and fun activities to the secure check in and great coffee, CDA always goes above and beyond. We cannot say enough good things about CDA – we love you!” Jennifer of Vadnais Heights Mother of Cayson, Young Toddler Program

“I have heard real facts about few daycares where they don’t treat the kids with love and affection, just do their job as a job. My kid has joined infants and he is in Toddler today. All his transitions from infants to Toddler has been so much caring and awesome. My son is very picky in eating, but the staff at CDA has shown utmost care for my kid and everyone makes sure my son eats well his lunch and snacks. The most admirable attitude that i have observed with the staffs of CDA is that they not only show…

“We really liked the care given by the Children’s Discovery. Our baby got acquainted with in a week and she likes it a lot. Stephanie in young toddler provides excellent care, one day when we went to pick our daughter, the baby was playing with Stephanie just like she plays with her mother. We are also impressed with the care given by Tessa. Another greatest advantage we feel from CDA is the daily connect thing which provides regular updates along with photos.” Satya of Little Canada Father of Sreshta, Young Toddler Program

“I am very happy with this daycare. My child loves going there and has fun all day. Everyone is super accommodating and very helpful.” Angela of St. Paul Mother of Josephine, Young Toddler Program

“We enrolled our oldest daughter (10 months old at the time) in the infant room 5 years ago when we needed part time daycare due to new jobs. She moved up through the rooms and is now doing wonderfully at a public elementary school. We know that her time a Children’s Discovery helped her grow academically and socially into the great learner she has become. When her little sister was born, we knew right away that we would also enroll her in Children’s Discovery. We love that 5 years later we see the same smiling teachers and staff every day….

“I am happy with the care and instruction given to my son. He is learning a lot, and is becoming more and more independent each day. Teachers are very communicative, and I highly value the Daily Connect app to monitor Griffin’s day in real time. The center has been excellent at working with Griffin and his food allergies, which I appreciate.” Tina of Mahtomedi, MN Mother of Griffin, Young Toddler Program

“My toddler son has been going to Children’s Discovery Academy since he was 3 months old. I could not have asked for a better experience. From day 1 (8 months pregnant touring the center with the Little Canada Director, Jill) Children’s Discovery has been a warm and inviting place that I have felt so good about being able to provide to my son. It is really true what they say about first impressions and that initial tour with Jill really sold it for me. I felt from her and could tell in my observations of the other classrooms and teachers,…

“We moved our twin girls to Children’s Discovery just over a month ago. They make it easier for us as working parents because they utilize the Daily Connect app. The app allows me to see what my children are doing at any time during the day, and makes it easy for us to communicate with the teacher. They also post pictures of the girls in the app which reassures us that the girls are enjoying their day. The staff is friendly, and great with the kids. We feel as though they do a good job engaging our children. Moving the…

“I currently have 2 children enrolled in Children’s Discovery Academy. The care and education my children receive is one of the best in the area. I am often complimented about my children’s verbal skills, manners, development, etc. and I attribute much of it to the quality of education they receive at Children’s Discovery. The staff are easy to talk to and tailor the learning to your child’s needs. I have been very happy having my children at Children’s Discovery and have recommended the center to other families.” Maria of White Bear Lake Mother of Anna and Abby, Pre-Kindergarten and Toddler…

“I have been taking my son here for about 5 months now and have been very happy with everything. My sons also seems to love it! They have well balanced meals and snacks, and the staff are all great. I had a problem with diaper changing and they understood and fixed their problem right away! Haven’t had a problem since. My son learns so much from there. I would recommend childrens discovery to anyone needing care for a child!” Emily of Little Canada Mother of Noah, Toddler Program

“Our son has been in the infant room and is currently in the young toddler room. We truly couldn’t ask for more. As parents it is great to be assured that he’s receiving great care and having fun-filled days. He learns a lot from his teachers and classmates. Everyone is really great. I could never say enough good things about Children’s Discovery.” Dana of Vadnais Heights Mother of Jackson, Young Toddler Program

“My 2 yr. old son attended Children’s Discovery Academy in Vadnais Heights when we moved to Minnesota. I was very nervous about him attending a center – before he was at a home daycare with his grandmother – so this was his first experience in a child care institution. As you can guess, I drove myself crazy with trying to find the perfect place for him. It seemed like I visited every daycare within the area, I saw many good ones and I saw many bad ones. I visited Children’s Discovery on two occasions before I made the decision. The…

“Benny has been attending Children’s Discovery since he was an infant. He’s now 16 months, and he loves going every day! He’s just recently learned how to shake his head yes, and every morning we ask him if he wants to go to school, and he shakes his head 🙂 An added bonus is that we get ideas for fun things for him at home based on what he’s enjoying there – He loves art, so we got him the same art daubers that he uses at school and he loves them! He also loves playing in the tunnel in…

“I always feel good about dropping off my son at CDA. The teachers are great and always comfort him if he is upset. I know that he will have fun during the day doing art projects, reading stories, and a multitude of other activities. I would highly recommend CDA to any parent. It’s a great place!!” Eric of Shoreview, MNFather of Grant, Toddler Program  

“Samuel began at CDA when he was 1 year-old. He is now 2 and is so much more advanced than other 2-year olds that we meet. The CDA teachers provide him with an advanced education that I know will set him up for future success. Samuel comes home and talks about all the friends he has made and about his favorite teachers and is excited to go back to school on Monday mornings. We are thrilled with CDA and would recommend them to anyone looking for a school with a fun, educational and super kid-friendly curriculum.” Laura of Little Canada,…

“As a single mother who also works full time, my greatest desire is for my son to experience a safe and healthy environment with qualified teachers and care-providers who will educate, challenge, discipline, love and play with him the same way I would if I were there. I’ve found this at Children’s Discovery! My son enrolled with Children’s Discovery at the age of 18 months and I’ve seen him grow leaps and bounds in his language skills and cognitive development. The teachers are passionate educators who bring creativity and fun to the learning curriculum. Kaiden clearly enjoys his time at…

“Our first experience with Children’s Discovery was amazing! We knew right away when we toured the Little Canada Center that this was the place for our daughter to be. The main decision to enroll Gretchen was that I went back to work after being a stay at home mom for 2 years. What impressed me was how encouraging the staff was for me and our daughter during the transition, they were amazing! My husband and I have noticed that Gretchen has flourished while being CDA, we have noticed a dramatic change in how she is more expressive and increased her…

“Moving back to Minnesota was something my husband and I were looking forward to. We were so excited to be close to our family and friends after being away for 5 years. We just had our 2nd child and were looking for something for her and our oldest daughter who is 2 years old. She had been in daycare since she was 6 weeks old and I was hoping to find something that I could bring the girls to and not have to worry while I was at work. Also something flexible for my schedule. I had toured many facilities…

“When I was looking for a center I was looking at cost and scheduling. Children’s Discovery is great with my part-time schedule. I can go as many or as few days a week as I want and don’t have to pay for the whole day. Part-time is less than 5 hours a day. I can also vary which days I’m there and can add on extra days as needed. A lot of centers in the area make you pay for the whole day, part-time there just means less than 5 days a week. A great deal and very convenient for…

“I’m the parent of twins and want to express the difficulty in finding flexibility regarding daycare with my children.  Children’s Discovery Academy has been very accommodating with this issue and the staff are very personable and friendly.” Tim of RamseyFather of Chloe and Allie, Toddler Program  

“My grand daughter Leah is a student at Children’s Discovery in Little Canada. On the first visit/tour, I could tell that this was a warm, loving, caring environment. The people who took us on the tour were so helpful. They answered our many questions and conveyed a very happy, friendly attitude toward all the children we encountered. They seemed to know each child by name. My daughter and I were so impressed by how quiet it was. All the toddlers were sitting at a child-sized table having a snack. There was no spilling, no crying and no whining. Each child…

“Children’s Discovery Academy offers a clean, warm, friendly environment the moment you walk in the door.  Every morning all the children are individually greeted and staff looks genuinely excited to see them which makes the children feel very welcomed each day. The immediate warm welcome we received during our initial tour was inviting.  Seeing the children and staff interact so well together, along with the clean environment, are some of the reasons we chose to enroll at Children’s Discovery.  I love that Children’s Discovery has an indoor gym for the kids to use.  It allows them to burn off energy…
