A Heartfelt Goodbye and Thank You…read more Today was our son Tony's last day before he starts kindergarten, and we couldn't leave without sharing our gratitude for the incredible team at our local KinderCare center. In light of tragic circumstances that have made it difficult for many to trust, the protection and care that Ms. Caity Lee and her team provided us means that much more. Over the past nearly six years, KinderCare became a part of our lives, and we became a part of theirs. From birthday parties to center events, there was always laughter and genuine care. The team at this location means so much to us, and we will forever be grateful for the friends Tony has made, the teachers who have inspired him, and the amazing education Tony received. We no longer see it as a daycare, but as the true development center it is. There have been so many people who have touched our lives there, and most recently, Ms. Anu was amazing, taking on a group of kids who have been together since their early months. We would also like to show our appreciation to a few other people who have made a lasting impact on our family: * Ms. Rebecca - Infant/Toddler * Ms. Ella - Toddler * Ms. Amber - Toddler/Preschool * Ms. Jenny - Toddler/Preschool, assistant director * Ms. Katie - Preschool * Ms. Kristen - Pre-K * Ms. Anu - Pre-K * Ms. Caity - center director Thank you again. In a time where it can be difficult to trust someone to care for your kids, your team was exactly that for us. We had no family here, and now we have a family due to KinderCare!

Love this Kindercare. My child has been enrolled since Infant and is now in the toddler rooms. She…read moreclearly loves going to her classroom and her teachers, especially Cindy, Ella, and Amber. Their app to send updates is awesome. No complaints about any of the teachers. Caity the director and Jenny the assistant director have been easy to contact and have been flexible if there were changes to pick up or drop off. My kiddo learns a lot here and I get updates with conferences. As a family member of someone who did home daycare I am so impressed with this center and can't imagine my kiddo elsewhere.

Our daughter loves going to school. Her teachers are knowlegable,warm, engaging and seem to really care about what they do. Don't hesitant enrolling your child or children at CKA!

We value the clear communication and email updates regarding changes to Covid protocol and the safety measures the center has taken to keep our son safe. All of the teachers and staff we have encountered are wonderful. Thank you! 5/5 stars!

And my child's whole class kept getting shuffled around with substitutes. The subs and temps are on their phones alot and even resorted just putting on cartoons on the school iPad to distract the kids at one point. So its not a good learning environment. My child has personally gotten hurt here multiple times and mistreated by other students. The last time he got hurt was because a piece of concrete was protruding out of the ground in the play ground outside. He cut his head and had to get checked out by a doctor immediately. They thankfully administered first aid immediately. Another student also put his stuffed animal in the toilet and other students bite him on more than one occasion. There also appears to be a lack of transparency about all of this. So I would not recommend sending your child here until they clean up their act.

Our daughter absolutely loves her Toddler teachers and my husband and I can truly tell how much she is learning in the class because she comes home with new knowledge everyday that simply reassures us that we made the right choice! The Lead teacher Marriyah & Asst. Director, Bronwyn have been the absolute best with our daughter. The center also utilizes the DailyConnect app so I can see updates throughout the day, get messages from teachers, and know how much she ate for lunch and snack which is helpful for dinner preparation. The Director Roberta is wonderful to work with as well! She is great with communication and wonderful with the kids as well. We're very happy with our decision after a rough first daycare experience.

I cannot recommend today's life as the best daycare in town. I don't know about the EP location,…read morebut they currently have a Minnetonka location that my child belongs to and it is closing next week. Due to their rent becoming to high, they are closing the location. But here's the kicker - they only gave us 3 weeks to find a new daycare! It really put the parents in a bind to find childcare quickly. And if you've had to find childcare before, you know it can be very challenging to find without being on a wait list.

The kindertales app to follow up on your child(ren)'s day is amazing and you can even update all of the needed forms for the center through the app itself. The bond the teachers build with you is so special and with the center being as big as it is you can watch your baby grow and build so many memories at each stage. I definitely recommend this location to families looking for place to call home for their babies education and growth and long term solution for their child care needs

Love this daycare! Every teacher cares so much about their classes and students. Even teachers I…read moredidn't recognize knew my son by name! 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!

Wow, I honestly can't say enough good things about Goddard Medina. We have loved sending our 2…read moredaughters (4 yrs & 2 yrs) here. As we have moved, we have attended 2 other centers that just can't compare to Goddard's curriculum and care level. First of all, Tammy (the Director) is absolutely top-notch. She is knowledgeable, open, and kind. The teachers are fantastic & so caring. Everyone knows my kids names in that school, it blows my mind. My girls absolutely love their teachers & can't wait to go to school each day. I should also point out that one of my daughters attends Special Education classes at Wayzata Early Learning Center 3 days a week & Tammy even met with our case worker to ensure they were collaborating on how to best serve her learning style. Tammy is always willing to advocate for my child's best care, even when there is extra work involved. I guess the best way to describe this place is above and beyond. They create sensory activities, hire special entertainment guests for the kiddos, host 'Parents Night Out' events...we are continuously impressed. They also use an app that allows you to see fun pictures of your kids throughout the day & get a digital summary of the days activities. Everything just feels so well run, we never 'worry' about our kids there. My guilt as a working mom has melted away. I definitely encourage you to tour Goddard if you are thinking about it. Our only regret is that we didn't find them sooner.

He has learned so much from their curriculum and also has so much fun everyday, he is all smiles when i pick him up! He is so loved there by all the teachers and they put so much effort into taking care of each kids different needs. My son is very shy and even after going there for a year and a half, he is shy in the mornings (until I've been gone for about 30 seconds then he's happy as a clam!) so the teachers have all done special things to make him comfortable until I'm gone and it has helped so much! I feel like they go way above and beyond to care for my son! Very happy with Goddard Medina!

My family utilized the childcare services for over 2 and a half years until an incident occurred…read morethat was completely inappropriate and involved the physical harm of my child under their care. Obvious poor management by this institution has lead to several citations from the Department of Human Services. You can look these up for yourself online. In my opinion, the leadership in this organization, the School Board, director, and the administrators, are some of the least trustworthy people I have encountered. In attempting to remedy our concerns, we were lied to, gaslit, and eventually ignored. Example: After receiving assurances on record that our tuition would be on hold until an investigation was completed on the safety of the classroom, they then tried to charge us and terminated out good standing so they would no longer have to answer our questions or bring any conclusion to our concerns. We have since learned from other parents that several children were harmed in the same manner. In my experience, this institution is more concerned about their public appearances and generating income for the church rather than providing a safe environment for children. My family plan is to stay as far away from this building and these people as possible.
