This daycare is an absolute disaster from the top down. The director, Andrea, is openly rude,…read moredismissive, and talks to parents like they're stupid. They don't follow their own policies, don't complete required incident reports, and their "Honeycomb" system they brag about is basically useless since it isn't even utilized over half the day. They are severely short-staffed and it shows - constant chaos, kids hitting other kids with zero staff intervention and no sense of safety or structure. During enrollment, the staff member handling my intake told me to leave the weekly rate blank because they "needed county verification" before giving me any numbers. I signed the authorization assuming, logically, that they wouldn't charge anything until they knew what CCAP covered. Instead, they withdrew nearly $600 from my bank account without any notice, invoice, or explanation. No one had ever told me the rates, what I'd owe, or that they would charge me before receiving county information. Every interaction with Andrea after that was condescending and hostile. She talked over me repeatedly, refused to answer basic questions, and gave me the run-around for over two weeks. She even lied about not having my county paperwork... because I saw it sitting out in the open on the front desk, containing private information. I am in the Safe at Home program. That alone is unacceptable. When my son finally started, things got worse. He was inconsolable at drop-off and pickup, the classrooms were understaffed and chaotic, and kids were being hit with zero intervention. A staff member casually told me my son had been hit and dragged by his shirt, yet no incident report was ever completed. When I asked about it, Andrea gave me more attitude and zero answers. After repeated calls and no follow-up, I withdrew him. The ONLY competent person in this entire company was Emily at corporate, who fixed what the center repeatedly messed up. Do not trust this location with your child. The disorganization, lack of safety, unprofessional behavior and blatant mishandling of money & personal information are beyond unacceptable. This place is a liability. Run the other way.

The second year we signed them up for a private lesson with their instructor and just the two of them. Even though they were in different levels the instructor was able to work with each of them at the same time. We prefer the private lesson but the staff is so great I would recommend either.

They have counseling services, low-income housing, elder programs, a children's home, a food and clothing bank, and more. Unfortunately, they recently ceased their adoption program. They take a lot of government funding for a Church-based social service agency, but they do a lot of good in the community by serving those in need. In particular, their transitional housing and foodshelf/clothing bank are great resources in the area. They are located in various places throughout the Central Minnesota area.

I adopted a guinea pig from them that had parasites and a skin infection from it. They're super contagious and thus spread to the guinea pig I already had at home. Both guinea pigs are seniors and it's scary and awful they both are still undergoing treatment to keep them mite and lice free. Not only will they not help with the vet bills due to their "screw you for adopting from us" policy they won't take any of the guinea pigs that were housed near the one I adopted at the time to the vet. I'd be shocked if they currently don't have parasites as well. I was given a lame excuse that "nothing was noticed when cleaning cages" and they don't have the resources for it. Funny how they're supposed to have people who went to school for animal care there but someone like me picked up on that something was wrong so shortly after adoption. My guinea pig came in with another male. They were separated due to fighting and I saw that other male was adopted. By any chance if you adopted the guinea pig "Tot", he needs a vet ASAP. I asked that you be informed by the Tri County staff about the parasites and they won't do it. Their staff is also toxic and abusive. A woman named Sara Morales is vet tech there and will attack anyone on Facebook who dares to speak out about any bad experiences. Avoid, avoid, avoid!
