“I do not have enough words to articulate my love for this educational facility. I have my 3 year old and 8 month old attending Primrose. This is not your normal “daycare center”. From the moment that you walk in the difference is clear. The facility is clean and updated. The toys, training materials, and playground is updated, new, and feels high end. Now for the most important part… the staff! All staff I have interacted with here represent professionalism, kindness, understanding, and overall exceed expectations. The other day, I was struggling with mom life and required an additional set of arms. My daughter refused to take off her shoes to enter the infant room and insisted on wearing sanitary booties as an alternative. Chef Tracy was delivering breakfast and witnessed my struggles. He came to my rescue and assisted in helping my daughter finagle these surgical boots on over her shoes. I don’t believe that is in his job description but neverless he was there to help. Her teachers, Ms. Kianna and Ms. Namu have consistently helped in making the morning transition of saying goodbye easier by tasking my daughter with various roles. This helps out more than they will ever know. This is a fun, safe, exceptional learning institution and I would implore anyone looking for childcare to look no further. Thank you, Primrose family for the exceptional care and environment that you provide for my children!”

“My son’s teachers are amazing. He loves being there. He learns a lot and I love how he’s learning a different language. I can’t wait to see transition and how well he starts to speak Spanish and full sentences. He most definitely loves his teachers Delia Rivera and Jessica Luna. I love that he is comfortable with them and it makes it very easy on me to know that he is cared for the way that I need him to be while I’m at work. Thank you guys so much.”

“Staff is kind, caring and genuinely excited to connect with the kids, and I don't see that limited from just the kids in their own rooms. Every staff member gets to know your child and has a relationship with them that continues to grow, which is great to see. The activities throughout the day are engaging and fun, and challenge the growth and learning for each kid. I have been very impressed with the leadership staff - they are engaged, organized and work as a well-oiled machine with effective execution. If there are issues or concerns, or something didn't go quite as plan, they implement solutions in a timely matter with follow-up communication to everyone involved. The appreciation shown for their families and kids is ongoing - and the planned events are well put together and very fun for everyone. I have been very happy with the switch we've made to Primrose, and appreciate the experience we've had so far!”

“We love Mac Plymouth SO much!!! Our daughter started Room One (Room Fun) this past fall and is really thriving. The teachers are so warm, welcoming and enthusiastic every morning when I drop her off. They're supportive of my daughter, and accept and meet her where she's at. She is always so excited to show me what she made or tell me what she learned when I pick her up. We love the weekly themes, their creativity, and I appreciate the updates they send about what they did during the day, with pictures. We feel so fortunate to be part of such an amazing school. I would recommend Mac Plymouth to anyone!”

“It's spendy, but seems worth it in my opinion. You get great communication, daily reports, daily pics/videos of your kid doing fun things, child development, meals, cleanliness, involved teachers, and more things I'm not thinking of at the moment. Price is the only "downside" that I can think of if you can even call it a downside. IMO teachers deserve way more money than they currently receive in this country, and I imagine that a decent chunk of our spendy price goes to them, and I'm OK with that! If/when we have another child, they WILL BE going to Goddard as well. Hope this helps! :)”

“Daycare providers are Hero’s just like Heathcare providers and first responders.They deserve credit.Our children Our the future needing education and nurturing family morals to help Generations.Little Red Wagon provides Good Care for my children.”

“This school has been fantastic for family (just finishing the fourth year of one of our kids going there, starting a 5th year in the fall). Not only are the teachers wonderful and thoughtful, but the cooperative model has really expanded our social network and given us a great view into the fun the kids have in the classroom (because we volunteer in the classroom around once a month).If the model of this school matches your needs (co-op, part-time), and you're live in the area, then I think you'd be making a wonderful choice bringing your kid here.”

“We absolutely love Neighborhood Children's House. I am thrilled a neighbor suggested it for our kids.Teachers Alison, Eleanor and Cathan are patient, kind, inclusive, supportive, FUN! and diligent. The curriculum is amazing. It's age appropriate at every turn, they include music, sign language, music WITH sign language and monthly themes. Not to mention a handful of special events throughout the year to bring parents into the classroom as well.Our kids, like most, were attached and apprehensive about school. Now that they've completed their first year at NCH, they don't understand why they can't go in the summer. ?I highly recommend this preschool. They offer part time, half day options in the morning and the evening. It's affordable and it's established. You won't regret reaching out to take a tour.”

“Highly recommend this center! Our two-year-old daughter has been coming to this KinderCare center since she was 6 months old. To say we are pleased with her care would be an understatement. She loves going to school to play with her friends and teachers, and we love knowing that she'll be safe and in the best hands. They have well-rounded meals, specialized units each month and activities each day, and most importantly, the staff love our daughter like she's their own. We can tell she is learning so much- about school basics but also interpersonal relationships and friendships. We also love getting photos and descriptive updates on their activities each day. For 2 full-time working parents, this KinderCare location and staff gives us such peace of mind by providing the best possible care for our daughter. Great communication, management, and all-around experience!”

“I donated a 20 year old car in February 2024. The process was fast and easy and the people at Newgate (I worked mostly with Casey) were friendly and helpful. Over the years I've donated two other cars to charity and my experience with Newgate has been far and away the best. One of the other charities did not register the title change and a couple months after the donation I was called by the Stillwater Police saying my car had been abandoned there. The second time the person that came to tow the car was a subcontractor and not part of the charity and was reluctant to sign the title transfer. Once again, Newgate has been the best and easiest and most efficient way to donate a car. Also the tow truck driver called ahead about 15 minutes before showing up and had the car loaded and was gone in under 10 minutes. Very impressive.”

“We absolutely love this daycare! Our kids love all the teachers, and it's so incredibly well run. The rooms are always clean, happy places, and you can always get someone on the phone immediately. The communication and organization has worked wonderfully for my wife and I, and the teachers, toys, and setup is perfect for our kids! We are always impressed with how much they learn, and so appreciative of how happy they are to go!”

“We love CKA Mounds View for both of our boys! I’m always so blown away by the amount of creative activities and outdoor time that our boys get to participate in. The staff is warm and inviting, and for the first time in 3 years of daycare, our boys are excited to go into their classrooms without any tears! It puts my mind at ease knowing my boys are receiving the best possible care while my husband and I are working. Would highly recommend to any family looking for quality care for their littles.”

“Such a great experience for our 2 year old. Tge director is phenomenal and getting updates and photos of our son all day long really makes us feel great. Also the security is top notch. We just love it so far!”

“Our children have had a wonderful experience at TGS Minneapolis. It’s been a pleasure watching them develop and grow, and we owe a big credit to the program and community at TGS for all of their support. We appreciate Kari, Nat and the great team of caring teachers they have.”

“I love them, they are very dedicated to the kids, I’ve seen growth in the kids that join. Every kid gets recognized for their own personality and I love that. Good job Rainbow ❤️”

“We have been sending our kids here for the past 3 years and have had nothing but a positive experience. The teachers truly care about the students and do such a great job at communicating with parents. They come up with fun and creative ways to teach the kids, while still allowing them to have the creative free play time that I remember enjoying as a kid.”

“Annie and Jill are passionate, encouraging, incredibly knowledgable, and provide highly personalized experiences even in group settings. Lalainia's sessions challenge practioner's in a body positive and inclusive atmosphere. Every session I have joined has been welcoming, poses \\u0026 flows have been made accessible, and, no matter how I show up, I leave feeling centered and restored.”

“I am the grandma of a child who goes here and my son in law and daughter (name on this account) are so happy here. Their baby is so happy all the time and seems to love it when he goes.”

“Awesome staff and very welcoming towards children with special needs. I noticed that parents of the normal children tend to over react not knowing the full situation. There were employees that got let go and were spreading g rumors about how the place is run If it were such a bad place why does the school district and other daycare steer the mentally disabled children there? My sons both loved it there!”

“We switched to DCLC in February of 2023 after spending (wasting) our time with a overpriced, franchise center. The moment we met the preschool teachers, Sammy and Tabby, we knew this was the place for our family. Our daughter is pumped up every day to go and play/learn with her peers. The teachers are exceptional. We absolutely love and trust them 100%. They all lead withcompassion and it shows in the happiness of the kids.They have the best communication and always keep us in the loop. We are so happy to be apart of the DCLC family.”

“We love the preschool here. The staff is very friendly and communicative. The educational activities, arts and crafts, learning and play are all top notch. Highly recommend it and a great price too!”

“My daughter was having kind of hard time at her old daycare in regards to eating and napping. She is in the pre K room and so far I noticed that this has not been much of an issue here and is eating a lot of variety food. She also seems to like her new environment in general. Drop offs has been a breeze, with no whining.My son also seems to love it there and the teachers communicate with me with any behavior problems because they know I want to stay on top of it. Overall I love the change and the engagement with the teachers and wonderful directors.”

“My daughter has attended here for two years now, and we love it. She gets excited to go every day. The staff are great, and I love getting pictures and updates through out the day!”

“Such a wonderful place!! I have to say they are the nicest people I’ve ever had communication with!! Didn’t judge and were more than willing to help and support. They listened to my needs and went beyond what I had expected!!! Please if you need help, reach out to this establishment!!! Thank you so much!!!”

“Only wonderful things! It is an older building, but it is such a home like feeling. Doesn't give you that care center like feel. We love the chapel time they have. It is so fun for them! This is what I would call a "hidden gem"”

“My kids switched to Armatage Kindercare at the beginning of the year and I have nothing but positive things to say about the facility as well as the whole staff. Dawn has been so helpful and kind to both myself and my kids. I get several pictures of what they are doing throughout the day as well as updates on the kindercare app. 10/10 I would recommend.”

“We are so thankful that our daughter spent her preschool years at Kinderstube! The children learn German naturally because they feel so welcome, comfortable and encouraged to explore and try new things. The teachers are amazing at creating a warm, enriching environment through ritual and routine, as well as structured free time to developed social-emotional skills.

Our daughter “played school” after coming home most evenings, making a “Morgenkreis” (morning circle) with her stuffed animals, and singing them the same songs they sang at Kinderstube and helping them “check in” the same way she did every morning. They learn German naturally through these comforting routines because when they know what to expect their brains have space to LEARN new things.

Even if your child won’t continue with German after preschool, developing their social- and school-readiness skills while also learning another language is wonderful for their brain development. Kinderstube is one of the best things we did for our daughter - we highly, highly recommend!”

“Great school. My kiddo has been there going on 2 years and loves the teachers and class room setting. She's striving and her emotional and social skills are growing . Thank you cornerstone team”
