I only got information if I asked the question. The space does have a weird layout but classrooms appear to be clean, secure, and structured. But the first impression has left a bad taste in my mouth and I don't think I'll be bringing my children to a place that didn't seem very welcoming or forthcoming with information.

She loved all the teachers, made some great friends, and was always happy to be there. We have had our 2nd child (now nearly 2 years old) there since he was 3 months old and it has been equally great. It is clear the teachers truly care about him and take amazingly good care of him. I also love that we receive updates and pictures throughout the day, which is always nice to see when we're working all day. I would recommend Cradle Club to anyone, they have been simply wonderful.

The hardest task of any parent is deciding who you trust with your children, and you can definitely trust the Cradle Club!

The…read morecenter has a really low staff turnover, so we have known many of the teachers even before joining their classes. The environment is nurturing and creative. They are highly rated - both nationally accredited through NAEYC and in MN through Parent Aware. Our son is happy going to school and that is so key for any working parent who has to send their children to child care every day. We've also been really impressed with their curriculum - we heard from others and have seen ourselves the level that children are at coming from this program is really high. I can't say enough good things about TLC ELC. It's truly such a critical decision in finding child care that you feel good about, and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

I know that he loves to go to Casa and I feel relieved he's enjoying his time there. I truly cannot say enough good things about the Centennial Lakes Casa team!

Overall, I haven't really had any complaints with Kiddie Academy. The teachers have always been…read moreextremely wonderful and helpful. They take great care of the kids. But lately, it just seems like management has taken a step back. Whenever you call or email, no one would answer or I'd never get a response. When I finally did get a response to an email it was weeks (sometimes months) after and the response was cold and a little off-putting. As if they were annoyed that a parent would have a question about their child. It doesn't seem like there is clear communication between management and their staff as well as a lack of communication between management and parents. They seem to be short staffed and the current teachers are over worked to where they can't maintain the proper kid to teacher ratio. This ultimately affects the kids and hinders them from being moved up to the proper classrooms; which is very detrimental to their development. Because when a child becomes complacent and isn't being challenged enough, they get bored, act out and can regress.

My family utilized the childcare services for over 2 and a half years until an incident occurred…read morethat was completely inappropriate and involved the physical harm of my child under their care. Obvious poor management by this institution has lead to several citations from the Department of Human Services. You can look these up for yourself online. In my opinion, the leadership in this organization, the School Board, director, and the administrators, are some of the least trustworthy people I have encountered. In attempting to remedy our concerns, we were lied to, gaslit, and eventually ignored. Example: After receiving assurances on record that our tuition would be on hold until an investigation was completed on the safety of the classroom, they then tried to charge us and terminated out good standing so they would no longer have to answer our questions or bring any conclusion to our concerns. We have since learned from other parents that several children were harmed in the same manner. In my experience, this institution is more concerned about their public appearances and generating income for the church rather than providing a safe environment for children. My family plan is to stay as far away from this building and these people as possible.

I can't recommend Augsburg Park Montessori enough.

Our older kid often doesn't want to come home at the end of the day! The teachers are so kind and caring and patient (with us and the kids) every morning they seem genuinely excited to see them and we get pictures and updates every day. We love that our kids are learning a second language at such a young age too. It is a little more expensive than some of the other options we considered, but they have a lot of other benefits (like included lunch for the big kid and cloth diapers for the baby). And we feel like it's incredibly valuable to get the benefits of language immersion.

We've had a really good experience here every time we've been here (3 times). The playplace is HUGE-- a couple of stories tall, padded, very safe, with lots of slides and tunnels and fun stuff for the kids to explore--and it includes a digital dance floor, an arcade, and food to order. You can also drop your kids off for periods of time. My 5-year-old loves this place. He can't be torn away. The one downside is that it's often VERY busy, and consequently a little chaotic. But if you're looking for somewhere fun to bring your kids (little kids all the way up to, I'd say, 10-12 year olds) this is it. Not exactly a relaxing atmosphere, but the kids have a blast and wear themselves out.
