As soon as she started, she was like a different kid, so smart, talking so much, not as shy, she had confidence and was so curious. I can't say enough good things about this Kindercare location. The center is adorable and clean, you can tell they take great care in upkeep. I felt safe leaving my toddler and infant there every day. The Center Director ALWAYS takes the time to answer our many questions, she does a fabulous job running the school! We recommend this location to anyone looking for amazing child care. Your child will learn so much and ne cared for by people who really care. We love Shakopee KinderCare!

When our son was an infant we started at a different daycare and it wasn't a good fit for us. We…read moretoured multiple daycares that promised a fancy curriculum and a polished facility. WTM was the only one that talked about helping to teach our son how to be a "good" person rather than only focusing on skills, e.g. playing chess by age 2. The teachers in the toddler room have been amazing, my husband calls the lead toddler teacher "the toddler whisperer" because of her natural ability to handle all toddler situations and challenges. Our son has really bonded with the teachers because they put a lot of effort into understanding his individual needs. We love the fact that toddlers spend so much time outside and engage in variety of activities, from doing different types of art work, planting a garden, to enjoying picnic lunch every Tuesday in the summer. It's always a pleasant surprise when our son offers to help or says "thank you" when it wasn't solicited. That reinforces the fact that the teachers at WTM are putting as much effort into conveying the social norms and values as they do into teaching the skills. We couldn't have asked for a better daycare than WTM.

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.

Being a first time parent, I wasn't sure what to expect with a public daycare.. having my daughter essentially cared for by strangers for 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week was worrisome as thats more time than I even get to spend with her.. however, Saira and the team of teachers and even Chef, have made a huge impact on our life in such a positive way That I will forever be grateful for!!! From day one of our orientation with Saira, to the first day we brought our daughter into the Infant room, all the way to the last day, when we had to take her out due to a family relocation/move...every day with Siara and her team, felt like they were my family! Not only did The staff/teachers make sure my daughter was cared for with love and care but they spent one on one time with her, teaching her a wide variety of categories that were essential for her core development at her age. I owe her confidence to every teacher she engaged with! There was never one second that I felt worried about her and that is the ultimate feeling any parent dreams of when others are caring for their children! Long story short, Primrose St. Louis park was a true blessing and are some of the most impactful people I have met This far in my life. That said- THANK YOU... Saira- for everything!! thank you for being a wonderful person and leader in a field so demanding and challenging. Thank you for helping me navigate my first year of parenthood outside of your everyday role. Your medical field experience, kind heart, and profound memory made a huge impact on me, and is a big factor in the trust I felt leaving our daughter everyday! You deserve more credit and acknowledgment than I'm sure youre currently receiving and hope your know you made an huge impact on my life! Thank you to the Infant room teachers - those who have been there for years (Ms. Joelle) and those who have moved on. you help care for these babies in such a nurturing way, helping them adjust into the world of chaos in a warm and loving environment! And thank you to the toddler room teachers- those who stepped in to help out and those who hold the ground in that room (aka ms. trinity "titi")! you all have made our daughter feel loved everyday, the second she walked towards her classroom, she would light up and be so excited to see you guys, even calling YOUR names out in the morning in the car on our ride there! and she only Knew about 10 words at that point.. 5 of them were your names!! And To Chef- thank YOU! thank you for keeping the kids belly's full with nutritious foods and most of all, thank you for your continued smiles and greetings in the morning hallway pass through. you always brightened my day! All in all- I can't say enough positive things about the staff, process, care, and overall atmosphere at this location. If you're lucky enough to get a spot, i promise your children will be in great hands! Forever grateful for all of you! THANK YOU For all you do! -Grace and her parents miss you dearly!

As assistant director here, I get to watch many teachers fall inlove with their job. Here are a…read morecouple of reviews: I am here to collectively collaborate to share ideas and to help children become self-confident, cooperative, and ready for school age learning in elementary school. To teach children and help them learn the curriculum. To assess students in their academic levels and assist them and challenge them. To be positive, help students to be self-confident, cooperative and ready for future school experiences! I work here to grow my knowledge with kids. I welcome families with smile on my face to show the kids parents that we are reliable and loving teachers. I am working here to gain experience in teaching and childcare. I believe that children are the future and we must allow them to grow and learn to their fullest extent. The opportunity to help shape the generations to come is a huge honor and an equally huge responsibility. I believe that I am here to provide the future generations the best care possible so that they can carry the torch of problem solving and innovation as they grow into adults. I do this job because I have a passion for working with the kids. I love the early stages: seeing them develop their sweet/funny/all different and unique in their own ways. They are truly the best to be around. I think together as a community we should get to know our teachers more in order to make this family a community. I love seeing the continual growth of my students both in academics and social-emotionally and being able to share my love of learning in hopes to have them become life long learners. I want to provide an educational, safe and loving environment where they can thrive. Early Childhood Education has a huge impact on future success and I want to make sure that my students have access to that. I love my job because I love and teach kindness, to learn and help others, and to grow my knowledge about the career path I want to follow. I also love to encourage and help our students reach their full potential. I myself had a most amazing daycare lady, Barb. I always knew I had a safe place to go where I would always be loved right from the start of my life. I've always wanted to be that person like she was to me. Children are our future. They are among the most engaging and most intriguing audiences one can work with. They bring out my own creativity. I want to help steer children in a positive direction.

I was very disappointed with the quality of care, the level of supervision, and the oversight of the owners. My son (who was in the toddler-early preschool age group at the time) had four different teachers during his time at Lexington Kids. Each time one of his teachers left or was fired, the parents were provided with a letter informing us that the teacher was no longer with the school--no more explanation than that. My son couldn't get to know any of the teachers because the rate of turnover, and I was uncomfortable with the lack of supervision on the playground. I ended up pulling him out and enrolling him somewhere else. I did not feel like my concerns were listened to or considered by the owners, and my contact information was lost twice. I can't recommend this childcare. Also, my first review of this childcare was reported (presumably by the owners) and removed, and after I posted this second review solely about my own experiences there, I was emailed by the owner and basically asked to take it down. This is an honest review in every way about my experience, and I will not change it.
