My wife and I have two boys (4 and 1) who have attended Primrose since they were 4 months old. We…read morehave looked at more expensive options and less expensive options and are convinced that Primrose is the right place for our boys. I simply could not disagree more with the other reviewer. The education and development of my boys have been very impressive. The 4yr old was potty trained in just over 2 years. He can read, write and even speak limited Spanish at just over 4yrs. With the limited amount of time my wife and I have with him I firmly believe Primrose is to thank. This is despite some teacher turnover that occurred after a large competitor moved in down the street and actively attempted to recruit away their staff last year. Why did my sons development continue with little relative impact? The curriculum. It simply works. At this age it's the strong controls over what, when and how our children are taught that allows Primrose to be so successful at educating our children. That's not to takeaway from the excellent staff whom we do appreciate. In addition to the education there is also the social development. Our children are not only academically intelligent - they are also polite, caring, social and resilient. Their emotional development appears to be well beyond that of others their age. As I said earlier - with the limited amount of time we get to spend with our boys - I trust Primrose to help develop them into successful students and socially responsible children - and they haven't let me down.

We toured Casa because we wanted a bilingual environment for our baby...but Casa is so much more than that.

They are constantly putting out new curriculum and there are lots of celebrations and theme days that we have a lot of fun with. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers and staff. They truly love the kids. I'm also convinced my son eats better meals than me there!

Starting…read morea new daycare is so stressful since you don't really know what it'll be like until you start, but we are so relieved that everything has been fantastic so far. Our son has been in a few different daycares across the last few years due to closures and us moving and I can easily say this is our favorite. We've never had a center director that has been as responsive, present, and supportive as Ms. Brittany has been throughout this entire process. The assistant director and the classroom teachers have also been wonderful! They have live-streaming cameras which make checking in very easy but the trust that has been built so quickly has made the cameras just a simple, fun perk now instead of a comfort necessity. The teachers are also great at providing frequent updates on the app. Our son loves going to "school" and literally runs in most days! We are so grateful to the entire team there!

Absolutely no structure and they allow kids who repeatedly hit and harm others to remain at the school.

If you want to pay $1,500 for pre-k for your child to be given a tablet or watch movies at lunch, then go to this school. Leadership does not lead and they say they will fix things and don't.

They charge you incorrectly majority of the time and don't take good care of kids.

All together the worst experience we have have ever had with childcare. Our kid hasn't attended in over a month & they just charged us over 800... $400/wk for a toddler 3 days/week... toddlers don't even get to use their facilities... what a joke.

My son has attend BBLC for the past 4 years and I wish I would have found them sooner. We initially…read morestarted out with a part time nanny and found BBLC through word of mouth referral. I was hesitant to enroll him as I lost my first son in 2008 and was nervous about everything with this baby. Here is what I can tell you about this Center, why we chose it in 2013 and why we're going to be sad to leave when he goes to school this fall: 1.) This is not a typical daycare, your kids are their children. These women will be substitute parents. They will love, snuggle, teach, redirect, and clam your child when you cannot be there. You will almost never walk in the door and not see a child hanging on one of the staff members. The kids love them and they love really genuinely love your kids. They will be honest with you and work with you to ensure the best for your child. 2.) The environment is bright and fun! The kids are exposed to tons of projects in many different mediums. They work on letters, numbers, science, and how the world works around them. They celebrate and recognize your children and holidays, even bringing in recognizable characters like Santa for Christmas. They do a lot of special events for the kids throughout the year and even have Ms. Jean every Friday with her musical instruments and songs! 3.) Preschoolers work on school skills. Desiree teaches kindergarten skills such as letters, numbers, counting, name writing, cutting, coloring, etc. My son was writing his name, mom, & dad by the time he was three and when he attended preschool he already knew everything they were teaching. They work a full curriculum to keep the children busy and engaged. 4.) The children go outside, have water days in the summer, take walks to the nearby park, celebrate Earth Day, and even do Yoga on occasion to relax before nap. 5.) They let your kids be kids and don't stifle your little ones personality however big or small it might be--they will embrace your little human for who they are. 6.) Lastly, cost. Information is not available online but you can set up a visit. Pricing is better than any daycare center in the city. Full time rate cannot be beat and is nearly comparable to even some higher end in home centers except it's not an in home. Another mention is that they do open at 6 and are usually only closed for major holidays which is great if you don't have a flexible work schedule. I would say to only avoid this place if you don't want your child to be completely spoiled and loved during the hours you can't be there because the owner will be like a second grandmother and the teachers like an aunt.

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…read morehad been at an in home daycare which was great but we noticed such a huge improvement in his language and social skills after just a few months that we knew it was the right decision! 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!
