Our kids have been attending daycare at CKA Maple Grove since 2018, and I have loved watching them grow up in this center. They have both blossomed under the care and love of their amazing teachers and leaders, who foster an environment of safe learning.From receiving on-the-spot updates and pictures through the app, to seeing the artwork and evidence of the kids' lessons, to hearing the stories of who played what games on the playground that day at pickup time...I know beyond a doubt that my kids were supported and treasured during their time at this fabulous institution.Liz, Sunny, and all the fabulous staff at CKA Maple Grove: our family will never forget you!

CKA is one of the best places I’ve worked at in a long time, I have built many friendships here and felt welcomed since the first day I started. I can say that not only does the company take good care of the kids but they also take care of the staff and always make sure our needs are met as well.

CKA has been a great place for my infant! They do frequent updates through their app so I always know when he's getting fed, or changed, or napping. The care givers very friendly and forthcoming with information if you have questions about how you child is doing. I like that they have an "Emerging Toddler" room so they can separate the kiddos that are moving around pretty good from the kiddos that aren't quite there yet.

I can't say enough good things about CKA Maple Grove location, where I've had the pleasure of enrolling both of my children. The team here is exceptional, comprised of genuinely caring and understanding individuals. You can feel the love and dedication as soon as you walk through the door—it's palpable.The educational aspect is equally impressive, boasting a robust preschool curriculum that offers a solid foundation for kindergarten readiness. What I also appreciate is their commitment to outdoor play, ensuring the kids get ample fresh air and physical activity.Communication is another strong point at CKA. The staff keeps us informed about our children's progress and day-to-day activities, easing any concerns we might have as parents. This transparency has been invaluable in putting my 'parent mind' at ease.In summary, I can't recommend CKA Maple Grove highly enough. If I could, I'd give them 10 stars. My children not only feel safe but also loved, thanks to the wonderful people who work there day in and day out.

Both of my kids started here this past April and we have been SO HAPPY with everything so far. Great communication from the center, they plan a ton of fun activities for the kids during the summer months (maybe throughout the year, too, but we just started there so not sure), and the teachers are so caring and responsive to the kids' needs. A couple of times I've dropped my son off and have witnessed kiddos being comforted by the teachers. I think they also have a really great outdoor area, I have driven by a few others in the area and CKA's IMO is better!

As a new parents and someone who never went to daycare ourselves, my husband and I were a little nervous about the prospect of finding a daycare, but we have been so happy with our decision to send our now 9 month old to Creative Kids Academy! They have a loving staff of people there and many of the staffers are moms who also have their kids at the daycare so there’s very much a community/familial feel. Our kiddo loves going to daycare every day and we know that he’s well taken care of there.A few other things that I think set this daycare apart are…1) their responsiveness on their app system (great communication!)2) they have a sweet cook that prepares all of their meals onsite, and she also helps out with the kids too!3) they’re very flexible. I am a teacher and I have different schedules during the school year and summer and they were more than happy to work with me on itWould definitely recommend this place!

Based off of the interactions I saw on Tic tok,I would never use this service.The staff seemed extremely dismissive and condescending.The parent should contact the state licensing department and NAYCE as well

We love CKA - Maple Grove! Our daughter started in the infant room and is currently in Emerging Toddlers. The staff is helpful, kind, and responsive. Our daughter loves her teachers and her classmates. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Be careful if you leave your child here my mother in law saw one of the ladies hitting a little girl in the hands and shoulder multiple times just because she was distracted when been called by her name. The other lady that works here did nothing about it. My child does not stay here but parents be warned.

As a parent you wanna make sure your kids are in good hands and a CKA i knew my kids were whem they were there. The staff were all very nice and my kids loved the teachers. They learned a lot and did great projects that got them ready for school. The staff had daily schedules to get the kids on routine. They did a great job keeping things clean/ organized and getting the kids to help to learn responsibility. I would definitely recommend this daycare to people.

My daughter (9 yo) and son (4 yo) have been going to Creative Kids Academy, Maple Grove location since they both were 3 months old. Ms. Dawn and her staff are nothing less than AMAZING, and love my children like their own, putting their emotional, physical, and scholastic needs as a priority. The teachers are so dedicated and I have been extremely pleased over the last ten years. The love and attention the teachers provide is amazing. My daughter and son have learned so much during the years.If there is ever an issue, they tackle it head on.During the school year, the school age kids are assisted with homework if needed. This school year was a challenge for parents, teachers and the staff at CKA. Distance learning was new to everyone, but the staff at CKA, especially, Ms. Wendy (PRE-K teacher) took on the challenge and made sure the school age kids kept up with their distance learning homework. With the new school year (2020-2021) starting out the same, CKA now provides a classroom atompshere for the school age kids to have during their distance learning days.During school breaks or summer, the kids are kept entertained doing crafts, games, field trips and playing.My son has just moved up to the Pre-K program. The Pre-K program is wonderful and the teachers (Ms.Wendy and Ms.Sarah) do an amazing job at preparing students for Kindergarten and beyond.I feel like I have developed some beautiful friendships with some of the teachers and other staff members. I cannot recommend Creative Kids Academy, Maple Grove enough. If you decide to bring your child here, you will not be disappointed.Ms. Dawn, Ms. Katie, Ms. Wendy and Ms. Sarah alike deserve accolades for their hard work!!

The Maple Grove location has shown to be an very good choice for a daycare provider to my son. The staff is very caring and nurturing. He enjoys his time there and his opportunity to associate with other kids. I look forward to continuing to see the growth of my child through the help of this facility and most notably, its staff. I would recommend this location to all.

Terrible unqualified teachers in the preschool program at the Anoka site... Their best teacher left a few months ago due to lack of help in her classroom; since then the class has been pure chaos and this new teacher does not know anything about working with children. Dont waste your time or money with this place.
