1621 McGlynn Rd, Chanhassen“SMLC in Chanhassen excels in its culture, amazing staff, and great support for the children.I imagine many parents find the job of finding the "right" daycare challenging. There are so many options and who knows what your child needs. I cannot speak for anyone else, but since nearly day 1 we have been grateful for our choice to put our child at SMLC.The staff really care about the children. You can tell as teachers, who are not even your child's teacher, know your child's name. It is easy to see the connections they build with all of the kids and how well they interact with them.The director obviously cares for not only the children, but the teachers as well. In my observations they are well supported and valued. As I get to know them, I grow fond of them as well. The turnover is very small which is really important to us.Our child has grown so much in the time there. It has been so much fun seeing all that she learns as well as the social development she gets. We are amazed at all the activities they plan both as part of their core curriculum as well as special events they hold for the kids. We know that we never could provide the same experiences at home.Finally, they have an app which makes us feel very much a part of our child's day. It is great getting the detailed updates on what the kids are doing, understanding how much they eat, how long they sleep, and of course the pictures.SMLC is incredibly thoughtful both of the kids and the parents. We are so happy we chose this daycare and their wonderful staff. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a new daycare.”
“All four of my children have attended this preschool over the last 10 years. The teachers are top notch. They have a fantastic curriculum. My youngest daughter, who is a current student, has learned so much from preschool and has made good friends, too! It’s a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The location is conveniently next to the Community Center where you can exercise after drop off. Love, love, love this preschool.”

2060 County Rd 6, Long Lake“I cannot say enough amazing things about this place.When my son started in September of last year, he was - in true pandemic baby form - shy, timid, and quite uncomfortable in social settings. His teachers immediately made him feel loved and safe, met him where he was at, and allowed him to gain his footing at his own pace. Six months later, he is absolutely THRIVING. He wakes up disappointed on days he doesn’t have school and excited on the days he does. His newfound confidence has been elemental in his self-expression both in and out of the classroom. I will be forever grateful to the staff at Trinity for helping to lay such a solid foundation and love of learning in my son’s early life and cannot wait for his little brother to attend as well.”

4559 Shoreline Dr, Spring Park“My children attend Koala bear and have for about a year. My son is autistic and he is loved beyond measure here. His teachers ensure that he is a valued member of his classroom and they consistently love him and meet him exactly where he needs. To say I love this place is an understatement, Koala and every person I have encountered have given me peace I didnt know was possible.”

17805 Old Rockford Rd, Plymouth“We have been at Primrose for about a year now and could not have chosen a better place for our toddler. He truly enjoys going to school everyday and we can absolutely tell how much he has learned in a short time. The staff is incredible and super helpful and the facilities are always well kept and clean. We love Primrose!”

12901 Roberts Dr, Eden Prairie“I enjoyed working at Today’s life the management is good she cares for every worker she really helps workers succeed and you can talk to her about anything. The staff is easy to get along with though they should do more team bonding exercises. You can have unlimited bathroom breaks just it’s all the way upstairs it’s a work out and picking up babies and putting them in the cribs will break your back (not literally) you will get used to it and it’s worth being there and working with the children and babies and the families. The families do care about you and support you as well. The most thing I will miss is seeing the room before the beginning of the day and seeing the babies or child’s faces as they come into the room happy to be at Today’s Life.”
“My daughter is excited to go to school every morning. The teachers and staff care for her as if they were their own and that puts this mama at ease when I have to be at work. Great place for my daughter be!”

I will be very sad when my youngest will no longer be at Goddard!”

112090 Hundertmark Rd, Chaska“Our family cannot say enough positive things about Jonathan Montessori School! This is such a special community that cares deeply for our tiny humans.JMS offers a truly authentic Montessori approach and the environment is laid out to foster independence, creativity, curiosity and a love of learning. The classrooms are calm and peaceful, and the learning materials are carefully and thoughtfully presented for the children. The outdoor space is also incredible - with 6 acres, our littles have lots of outdoor time during their day. The staff and teachers are top notch! They are invested in providing for each child, compassionate, supportive and dedicated to the school. Our children have thrived in this school, and we would wholeheartedly recommend JMS to any family!”

9301 Eden Prairie Rd, Eden Prairie“It IS a mega church, but I do like the fact if you don't know anyone you can come and go without being noticed. However, in that same breath. It can get lonely and defeat the purpose of trying to go to a mega church.*I dunno emoji goes here*I'm a lone parent with a toddler, I came here for resources first and foremost and I found them. That is a big plus and I feel so blessed and fortunate. The main pastor, he is pretty conservative by todays standard, however, I have to appreciate that now days when a lot of churches seem to be bending to cater to the masses. He is authentic and non apologetic about what is on his heart. For that he gets props from me on the passion he holds for Christ and trying to pass that on to those who are listening. The only thing that truly stinks about Grace is the traffic. *annoyed emoji goes here*Big church - lots of people and their cars. Gotta come early and leave early to bypass it. Plus one parking lot has been closed for a bit. Wish they knew what sitting in a hot car does to my toddlers patience and my nerves. BUT Try them out for a at least a few Sunday's and pray about it if this is your new church / community. Be blessed!”
“The Goddard School of Plymouth is the best daycare in the area. We were at another center in Plymouth previously, and we have been so much happier since moving our kids to Goddard. Our children are thriving socially and academically, and we have peace of mind knowing they are well taken care of throughout the day. The staff is great and we have had an amazing experience overall!”
“We have friends in Maple Grove and both their daughters attend PA. What an amazing institution, the girls have nothing but great things to share and their experience has been incredible for the past two years.”
“Very good daycare! I switched from a home daycare to the academy. They are so organized and that makes me feel like my children are safe and taken care of. Very healthy food made fresh every day and a good educational program. My son knows poems and how to hold his pen correctly! The teachers are so sweet and attentive to the children. I could go on and on! Sometimes my oldest doesn’t even want to go home!”
“I’ve worked here at little newtons Plymouth for 9 years. The staff and directors here at my center are amazing and truly care about every single child that comes into our building. We treat these littles like our own and try our best to have the most fun with the children while giving the best form of education we can. The families are amazing as well and show us so much appreciation. Theres a reason I’ve stuck around with this company so long. I truly love my job and I’m proud to be apart of the little newtons team!”
“We sent our oldest child to TGS-Minnetonka when it first opened, and we had such a positive experience that it was a no-brainer to consider TGS again when we learned we were expecting another one. Our littlest, now in a toddler room, has been going to TGS since she was 4 months old. She is surrounded by teachers who love and care for her well-being, and support her continued development. We have confidence in her safety while she is there, and look forward to the daily updates to see what she is learning/exploring. She is truly thriving! TGS has become part of our family and will be for years to come.”
