There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful we are to have found Yellow Brick Road on…read moreHarbor Lane in Plymouth. It has been, without a doubt, the absolute best school for both of our boys, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the magic. The facility is always sparkling clean and thoughtfully decorated to create a warm, imaginative environment where children can learn and grow. Every detail feels intentional, and it genuinely sets the tone for a place that prioritizes both joy and development. One of the many standout features is the incredible meals that my boys won't stop talking about. The meals prepared by their chef are not only healthy but genuinely delicious-- according to my kids. This is something that gives us so much peace of mind knowing our kids are being nourished so well each day so they can focus on learning and having fun. What truly makes this school exceptional, though, is the teachers. They have such a deep understanding of children and meet each child exactly where they are at. Their approach builds confidence while thoughtfully preparing them for what comes next -- kindergarten. We especially appreciate how closely the school aligns with the Wayzata kindergarten curriculum, ensuring our boys are growing socially, emotionally, and academically in all the right ways. Miss Katie, Miss Sharvari, Miss Jen, and Mr. Ty have each been absolutely wonderful with our sons (Pre-K and Explorers). Their care, patience, and enthusiasm shine through every day. It's clear they genuinely love what they do, and that love translates directly into the classroom experience. The outdoor space is another highlight -- such an amazing area where kids can explore nature, play freely, and stay active. The teachers go above and beyond to tap into each child's unique interests, using those sparks to create excitement around learning in a way that feels natural and fun. We've been especially amazed at how quickly our son has grown in Miss Katie's class. In just four weeks, he's already learned the months of the year, days of the week, colors, and numbers in Spanish, Hindi, and ASL. From lessons on opposites to learning about animal habitats, the lifecycle of a plant and beyond - we love hearing stories about what he learns each day, and seeing his genuine happiness has been incredible to witness. After experiencing several not-so-great daycares in the past, this school has completely transformed what "daycare" means for our family. It's not just care at Yellow Brick Road, it's a nurturing, inspiring environment where our kids are truly thriving. Miss Sarah, the director, is phenomenal. She is hands-on, deeply involved with both the children and families, and communicates so well. It makes such a difference knowing there is strong, compassionate leadership that you can count on and trust. We also love how all of the teachers -- including float teachers and staff from other classrooms -- take the time to get to know our kids. Everyone has been so kind, welcoming, and genuinely invested in our family. And as a bonus, their monthly "Parents Night Out" is such a treat -- giving kids a fun evening of play, pizza, and organized activities, while parents get a little time to recharge. It truly keeps getting better and better. If you're looking for a warm, loving environment that offers the absolute best for your children, this is it. This is your sign to check this place out!

Each class has a curriculum in place where your child learns math, reading, science, art, and even other languages! My two year old son came home once and told me about kookaburras and I was absolutely floored. There are extra dance/gymnastics lessons held at Little Newtons as well, if your child is interested. Children (pre-schoolers and up) create hundreds of art projects for you to take home or put in your office. Also, compared to other childcare options in the area, this place is SO AFFORDABLE! If you have more than one child, there's a 10% discount on each additional child! I recommend this place to every parent I know, I love Little Newtons!

*Our Overall Experience*…read more Though Tutor Time was not our first option, it ultimately became a good option for our son. Like any childcare center, it had its ups and downs during our time there. I'd like to walk through some of the experiences as neutrally as possible and hope others will find this review helpful. *Leadership You Can Feel Good About* Stacey Baker is a great and committed director. She truly cares about the children, the programs, and the families. I appreciated how personable and understanding she is, while still maintaining a strong commitment to safety and quality care. She does the best she can with the resources available to her and often steps in where needed. *Teachers Make the Difference* One of the strengths of Tutor Time is its few truly great teachers. When my son first started, he struggled with his initial teacher. At first, I assumed this was simply due to adjusting to a new environment, but we noticed that his behavioral challenges were specific to that classroom and did not occur with other teachers. Once he was moved to a different class, his experience and behavior improved dramatically--it was truly night and day. I hope Tutor Time considers having more teachers trained or mentored by their strongest educators. *How Our Child Was Supported and Engaged* For the most part, our son had a great time. I especially appreciated how his teachers embraced his love of drums and music, incorporating it into activities rather than labeling him as disruptive. He was able to develop new skills and broaden his food palate--it was wonderful seeing him enjoy foods beyond cereal. *Staffing Consistency (or Lack Thereof)* One consistent challenge during our time there was low staffing and high staff turnover. This sometimes caused confusion and disrupted teacher assignments and daily activities. As mentioned earlier, Stacey did her best under the circumstances, often filling in herself when needed. *Peer Behavior and Classroom Dynamics* Another concern we experienced involved our son picking up disruptive behaviors from older children. This was difficult to undo/ "correct" at home, as his behavior became more aggressive for a period of time. Eventually, the center addressed this by separating age groups more effectively, which we appreciated. *Billing, Payments, and Communication* We also encountered challenges with the payment system. The app and payment platforms are not well integrated, as they operate through separate systems. We experienced multiple issues with autopay and found it difficult to track an accurate balance. At one point, we were sent to collections for a payment we believed had already been made. Our statements did not clearly reflect a missed payment, and despite the issue allegedly occurring in March, we continued to make payments through June without any indication of a problem or interruption in services, which conflicted with stated policy. *Would We Choose Tutor Time Again?* Overall, every place has its ups and downs, many of which are situational. Despite the challenges we experienced, our son enjoyed the better moments there, and so did we. Tutor Time has strong potential, and I hope they receive the necessary resources to fully realize it. We look forward to returning when we can. Thank you so much, everyone, for taking good care of my son and for your care and support!

Head teacher and owner of the school Preethy has inappropriate and unprofessional communication…read morewith parents. Treats the classroom like a black box and withholds information from parents to keep control. Cruel and cold hearted person many parents talk about her poor behavior and communication and simply put up with it because their child is being taken care of however I would urge you to ask to talk to other parents in the community before committing to the school. Your child might be taken care of well but thats doesn't mean you won't have problems with the administration who runs it. Many parents complain about her inappropriate communication and strong opinions on how to parents and raise their kids. Over the years many parents have left or she has dismissed the students without any notice or logical reason, many reasons not due to safety or behavior but because she wanted too. Very little checks and balances at the school. Many working families left to scramble and find childcare because she simply decided you don't belong there any more. Good luck working with someone with a low emotional intelligence and level of compassion.

They made the transition from maternity leave to going back to work SO smooth and easy by treating our baby with so much love and care. Each day we were greeted by a teacher who would either give cuddles or give our girl her favorite toys to play with. When we would pick her up, the teachers gave thorough updates on how her day was, what she worked on (rolling, sitting, etc.) and what she may have struggled with. They had the cutest little art projects to send home as well. Bekah, the director takes SO much pride in running this place and finding the best care takers for your littles. Even though she didn't work directly in our baby's room, she seemed to always have a pulse on how things were going with her all while keeping the place running smoothly. The only reason we had to say goodbye to this sweet place was due to our family moving further out of the city. My husband and I can't say enough good things about this daycare and encourage others on the hunt for daycares to check this place out. You won't regret it!
