“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.”

“O2B kids has been a great experience for both my children. They have learned more then I could ever imagine. My 6 year old was more then ready academically and socially for Kindergarten and all the credit goes to all the amazing teachers. Kayla, Jessica and Chrissy make a great management team. All the employees seem very happy and want evey child to be successful in their classroom.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Highly recommend this school! Both of my kids went here (one still here) and I have little to no compliants. The staff is so kind and caring to our children. I always feel my kids are in great hands and are doing so much learning. My oldest graduated and was more than ready for Kindergarten. I will be very sad when my youngest will no longer be at Goddard!”

“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!”

“My granddaughter, Eloise, loves it at Chanhassen Kindercare. The Director and assistant director (Sami & Corinne) are awesome! She actually giggles when I drop her off. Her teachers in discovery preschool ( Marisol & Autumn) are great also. As a grandparent- I feel so welcome there.Brenda Helsene”

“I have an infant in the infant room. She LOVES her teachers so much and it’s apparent how much they love her too! I love getting the learning activities she does and pictures.”

“This is the best child care center I have ever been to. Our son has flourished under their care and education. I highly recommend them and cannot say enough good things about the care and staff.”
