Ladybug has been my choice of childcare facility since our family moved to the area in 2010. My…read moreolder boys greatly enjoyed the school age program and my daughter started in the Toddler A room and has since moved her way up into the Preschool Room. I am consistently impressed with the teachers and their level of dedication to the children along with all of the programs that they implement especially in the Preschool room. My daughter is learning computer skills, Spanish, trying a variety of foods and is always happy to head to "school" each morning and cannot wait to tell me about her day. I know that Ladybug is priced slightly higher than other facilities in Waconia, but I gladly pay the little extra because I see how advanced she is for a 4 year old compared to others her age. She is more than ready to head to school in the Fall of 2013. I would never consider switching childcare and would recommend Ladybug to anyone that would be looking for quality childcare in the Waconia area.

The pastor completely missed the mark. He began by asking, "How would you feel if someone killed your child?" He then proceeded call us all killers by saying things like, "You killed Him!" (Repeatedly and with conviction). This was all said Easter Sunday morning to a parish that included small children. Easter is a day of celebration and joy. It is a day that, as Christians, we celebrate a miracle that changed the world. It set us free. It is a time to be grateful for the life Christ gave us, not for the life human sin ended.

We do NOT use worksheets, or do any screen time. We believe in anti-bully, and multicultural lessons where the children learn to accept everyone as who they are. We do processed art instead of product. The children explore with multiple art tools (or toothbrushes, cars, feathers) to paint with. The teachers don't make a project and then tell the children how to make it. We let the children use their imaginations. The children are kindergarten ready after learning many literacy, math and science skills through play.
