I highly recommend Compass Child Care to any family seeking a safe, authentic and enriching environment for their child. My family came to Compass after being let down by a handful of different childcare centers. Compass has proven to be a breath of fresh air in the industry, and the best we've come across after multiple concerns and serious issues elsewhere. Compass offers a truly child-centered space for little ones to be nurtured. My 4 1/2 year old son barely tells me goodbye anymore at drop-off because he is too excited to get in the room with his teacher and friends and begin playing. Throughout the day I receive real-time updates and photos. I enjoy viewing how he's learning during calendar time, sensory play, gross-motor movement, or art and craft making. At the end of the day, my little boy tells me he doesn't want to leave. I used to hear at pick-up time that he had a bad day and his favorite part was when I came to get him. Since being at Compass, I hear that every day was not only good but "GREAT!" and he's excited to tell me about all the fun activities he did. In our experience, each staff member takes pride in caring for kids and shows our family that we are a valued part of their childcare family. Furthermore, my son suffers from a severe peanut allergy as well as asthma. Compass does all they can to accommodate his needs and provide a 100% safe, informed, and aware preschool for him to thrive in. I definitely recommend touring and conversing with an owner before they fill up! read more

We have been at Compass since Nov 2017 and when I walked in and had my tour, I knew it was the right fit for our family. My husband toured before I did and all he told me is, 'I think you're going to love it'. I may have called them back to sign our 2 year old up before fully confirming with my husband; that is how certain I was. Looking back, it was the best decision and I would make it again and again. Among the amazing structure and unique curriculum they offer; it felt like a family and that is what was most important to me. And oh my goodness, talk about convenient. Compass is Coon Rapids is literally right around the corner from the Northstar Commuter Train that I have been taking daily downtown to work. Having this transportation right next to daycare makes drop-off and pick-up a breeze. I feel so spoiled to have found this amazing daycare family that loves my daughter to pieces and is so easy to access. Also, when starting at Compass my daughter required to fed via a feeding tube, they didn't blink an eye at it and everyone was eager to learn. Since, my daughter has learned to eat orally not longer required the tube for nutrition. The teachers and staff at Compass played such a huge role in her oral eating strides; she wouldn't be where she is today without them. They truly make sure each individual child feels like they belong and are getting everything they can out this fun to learn environment. read more

We started with Compass when my daughter was about 16 months and have been blessed with a great experience. We love the app they use to track daily activities and receive updates of what my daughter is doing during the day. I feel comfortable dropping my daughter off for daycare knowing she is with staff who foster her growth and provide nurturing care. My daughter is so proud to show mom/dad the craft project/activity she did that day when we pick her up. We also love that once our daughter is preschool age, she will have the opportunity to rotate through different classrooms (STEM, Music and Movement, Art, and Dramatic play) daily. Each classroom provides a unique opportunity for learning and I look forward to my daughter transitioning to those classrooms once she is older. Amy and Ginger (the directors) are quick to respond to any questions and have been extremely accommodating to our requests/ needs. We can't say enough great things and would highly recommend Compass. read more

Our very first pick and first time ever putting our 2 year old daughter in daycare. I'm truly amazed at how welcoming and comfortable the staff made us feel. And for that, I can't thank the staff enough for making it such a wonderful first time experience. All the staff were kind, helpful and communicate well. I definitely loved the daily updates on the mobile app. Everyday through the daily activities notifications that I received, I can tell my daughter loved all her friends and teachers. She enjoyed daycare everyday. We were really sad to leave the daycare. We had left due to budget reasons, but I would recommend Compass Child Care to any parents who are looking for child care. read more

I really, really like Compass. We've been at the Coon Rapids location for 2 years now and I couldn't imagine having my daughter attend anywhere else. I really appreciate the stem activities and other academic activities that really stimulate her mind. I also greatly appreciate the staff, especially the owners. They have been so accommodating to my various requests (within reason, obviously) and have done so with a smile. They answer all my questions and truly value the children. I love that they put the children's needs first and continue to improve in ways they can be an even better establishment. I hope they maintain these values as long as this place is open! read more

When I first saw an advertisement for this school I knew I had to do more research about it and once I looked more into it I knew I loved it! The second they opened their new location I was on top of it and determined to enroll my son here. He has been going to Compass for a little over a month now and everyday he is learning more and more and growing so much as a person! And the staff is so nice and professional, it is a very easy experience dropping him off because he loves them so much! read more

Compass is amazing! Their approach to childcare goes beyond that of most facilities. I love the divided areas for different subjects and great curriculum. The "teachers" as I like to call them, do more than just watch your child, they are helping them grow and develop. Also their flexibility with child care is just what our family needed. Can't say enough good things about Compass. read more
