As a working professional, I need a reliable, loving, sensible provider that will ensure my daughter's safety and happiness. In Callie's Childcare, this is all in place. The positive emphasis on manners, health, and friendship is beautiful. She allows for free play time for children to discover how to play and provides structure and education. My daughter's social skills and her educational skills have blossomed while in Callie's care. She is learning manners, patience, and is helpful. At 16 months she knows how to clean up and how to put her items away. She is using art tools and enjoys songs and games. She eats a healthy, balanced diet and I love that Callie exposes her to a variety of healthy, home cooked foods. Callie also balances inside and outside play. I love that the children get fresh air and time outside to play and explore. Callie is very in tune with kids, enjoys her work and her genuine interest and enthusiasm shines through in a brilliant way. We see our daughter blossoming and thriving. She asks for "Miss Callie" and often starts her day giving her huge hugs. I know my daughter wants to be there and that she feels loved. That is so important. Callie has helped us learn routines and as a new mother she helps support my questions and concerns! My daughter comes home happy, confident and with her bright mind expanded a little more each day. As a parent I also appreciate Callie's thoughtful communication. We get a daily update on our daughter's day which includes meals, behavior, naps and activities. She shares photos and videos throughout the week which really lifts my heart up when I am away from my daughter. She is quick to communicate about monthly activities and schedules. She always responds thoughtfully to my questions and is flexible when my family is traveling or needs to make adjustments to our schedule. Without hesitation, I completely recommend Callie's Childcare. This is not just a safe place to entrust your child so you can work--it is way more than that! Callie's Childcare is positively impacting not just my daughter's life, but my life too.

This is truly the best daycare and preschool I know. Before enrolling my child at Paidea, I toured…read moreand interviewed 17 daycares in the surrounding area. Paidea stood out immediately for so many reasons. The staff is loving, caring, and deeply hands-on with the children, creating an environment that feels warm, welcoming, and like a second home. The school is clean, safe, and stimulating, with thoughtful activities that keep children engaged, learning, and excited to come each day. The teachers are kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in every child's well-being. What makes Paidea especially special is that every staff member is involved--it feels like a true community that is nurturing, helpful, and fun, always going the extra mile to support not only the children, but the whole family. My child has truly thrived here, receiving educational, emotional, and social support, and I feel complete confidence knowing he is in the best hands. In addition, my older son attends the summer program and absolutely loves it. It offers the same strong sense of community while giving him the chance to learn so much and have a wonderful time. I wholeheartedly recommend Paidea to any family looking for a place where their children will be cared for, supported, and encouraged to flourish.

We relocated to Minnesota and we were stressed about finding a good place for him to learn. We couldn't be happier with our decision. He's currently in pre-k and he learns something new each and every day and their curriculum has a great mix of break out teaching and creativity sessions, to playing with friends and circle time. He has grown by leaps and bounds being at primrose compared to where he was going in our prior state. He's also built some amazing friendships. Other notes...they never close compared to other school districts when it snows. Which has been really nice. The kids will not go play outside if temp is below 15 degrees. Plus another cool thing is the place is always clean! They have a wonderful trick or treat street during Halloween and a Santa meet and greet in December and other wonderful events throughout the year. Travis and Tonya are awesome owners too!

We toured many schools in the area and we like PSW the best. We haven't changed our minds after many years of attending. The staff is either college educated, getting their degree, or have many years of childcare experience. They do not hire summer break college students, etc. This is a big plus for parents and for the children. Another positive for us - the infant cribs are in an area where they can be constantly supervised while sleeping. Some other infant daycare companies have faux bedroom areas that are closed off from the play area. This means that an adult cannot see into the cribs at all times. This concerned me. The location is owned by a husband and wife that reside in Woodbury. It is not a location that part of a larger organization that simply has a manager. The owners are actively involved making sure parents and students alike are enjoying their daily experience. My older kids have learned so much going to "school" there and our kids continue to impress us each day. The kids are exposed to many different things to help them nurture the fun of learning. The nightly recaps of their day are now sent electronically when you check out. Sometimes the recaps include pictures of your child or activities during the day, and that is fun to see. The PSW staff also takes time out on weekends or after school to put on additional activities for children and families. Parents in the Woodbury area should strongly consider PSW.

The facility is spacious and clean. The menu for meals is always nutritious and there's a lot of variety. The love and support from the staff is my favorite aspect of our daycare experience with POM as well as the fact that there's a lot of diversity amongst the staff. Recently POM was purchased by Little Newtons. There has not been a disruption in service nor have I noticed staff turnover. I know my daughter is in good hands while she's there and I get pictures and updates throughout the day. I find it easy to interact through the app or via phone if I have questions or want to notify them of an absence. I think you'll find POM to be a loving place for your child to grow.

When we needed to find care for our child, I spent a lot of time visiting and touring many different centers. I knew immediately when I walked in to Kinderberry that this place was special. Six years and 3 kids later, I couldn't be more happy with our decision. What I love about this place: - Amazing, highly-qualified staff - because of the staff, I have total peace of mind when I drop off my kids - Curriculum - the kids learn a lot while still being kids, very developmentally appropriate - Family involvement - Kinderberry does a great job of engaging and recognizing families, we were given many opportunities to come and be involved in our kids' day care experience, we also had many opportunities, through Kinderberry, to meet and become friends with other Kinderberry parents - Enrichment programs - all kids have access to spanish, fitness, music. In addition to core programs, our kids had access to many optional extracurricular activities, like yoga, Tae Kwan Do and computer classes - State-of-the-art facility - beautiful, colorful, clean rooms, fun playscapes, nice garden where kids learn hands-on about growing plants and food - Healthy and safe - with a kitchen on site, Chef Vonnie makes delicious and healthy meals - our kids get to try many things they might not normally try, Kinderberry also has a nurse on site - even though all of the teachers are trained in first aid and CPR, we really appreciated having a wonderful nurse to provide that extra level of health care to our children - Use of Technology - through tools like Baby-Connect and Shutterfly, I can check in on my kids at any time and stay on top of what they are learning and doing - Flexible and Accommodating - Kinderberry is very supportive in how different families approach raising their children, when it came to potty-training and introducing solids, Kinderberry was very willing to accommodate our somewhat atypical requests. For example, we chose to follow a baby-led weaning approach when introducing solids. Kinderberry was very willing to learn about this and follow it with our children - Diversity - much to our pleasant surprise, there is a lot of diversity at Kinderberry. There are kids from many different cultures and backgrounds. Because our kids our multi-cultural, this was really important to us. We weren't really expecting to find this in Woodbury, so happy we did Really, the only negative about Kinderberry is the cost - the amazing care and education does not come cheap! We had to take a long, hard look at our budget and get creative to make Kinderberry work, but it has definitely been worth it. Our kids have been given a wonderful foundation - much more than we ever anticipated they would have.
