As a first time parent, I was nervous but the teachers and management were amazing and guided me through everything. Now my child is 8 months old and I am amazed at the skills she has learned so early in life all because of the amazing curriculum and teachers.

Our daughter absolutely loves her Toddler teachers and my husband and I can truly tell how much she is learning in the class because she comes home with new knowledge everyday that simply reassures us that we made the right choice! The Lead teacher Marriyah & Asst. Director, Bronwyn have been the absolute best with our daughter. The center also utilizes the DailyConnect app so I can see updates throughout the day, get messages from teachers, and know how much she ate for lunch and snack which is helpful for dinner preparation. The Director Roberta is wonderful to work with as well! She is great with communication and wonderful with the kids as well. We're very happy with our decision after a rough first daycare experience.

I cannot recommend today's life as the best daycare in town.

Due to their rent becoming to high, they are closing the location. But here's the kicker - they only gave us 3 weeks to find a new daycare!

Our little one smiles every day we drop her off and is excited to be there and that is all the reassurance we need. They have activities planned every day to fit her learning needs and development stages - music, exercises, arts/crafts, etc. They have a garden in the back where they source a lot of their food from and two different play areas outside. They also seem to have a lot of community events that benefit the center and we can only hope that our love for Kid Zone grows more each day!

We took our daughter here and after a number of incedents, pulled her out immediately. I will start…read moreby saying that the teachers are wonderful. This issue is with the leadership. My daughter came home with a diaper that clearly had not been changed all day. She had bandages on her thighs that day and when I asked staff to describe them, they were not aware of her bandages. If they had changed her diaper they would have seen the 4 large, neon pink bandaids on her thighs from getting her vaccinations earlier that morning. Because they couldn't recall her bandages, and her diaper was so full/soiled that it was falling off, I can safely assume the diaper was not changed at all that day. When I confronted leadership, I was met with gaslighting. One of the executives let me know that there is a camera at the changing station and they can see that they changed her that day. Having camera's on little boys and girls on near/on genitals is illegal. The state of MN is now handling this matter.

I am a single mom and putting a center tuition into my budget is EXTREMELY stressful. However, as of Jan 2022 - the people there :) - director and staff - seem so authentic and sincere ... not only about my son (who needs a little extra help) but about working with me to try and make every day, and the budget work. As KC is a huge corporation, I didn't really expect this level of empathy/care - or for them to give a $h*t for my little situation. So far, I am very happy and will try to hustle the best I can so my son can learn and grow with people, I believe, have his best interest in mind.

They still get emotional when we reflect on how much they miss TCI as TCI has been such an integral part of our lives for so long! They fingerknit (something they learned at the school) as they reflect and reminisce. I've had both of my daughters attend TCI - my oldest started at age 4 and went until she went to Kindergarten and came back for all the breaks and the summer. My youngest started at 20 months and just graduated this past summer at 5.5 years old. I frequently travel for work and my kids have been to over 10 child care/day care facilities (Creme, other montessoris, Goddard, Kindercare, ISM private academy, immersion academies etc.) and my oldest will be in 2nd grade at XinXing Academy in Hopkins....so I can confidently say that TCI is, by far, the best school for children for SO many reasons. They are 1000% child focused. - They always do what is best for the children from how the environment is carefully prepared and the word choices the guides use in each language they speak. - The environment is set up for a child's lifetime success and it is absolutely beautiful with high quality materials and crazy attention to detail. - The children learn independence and responsibility - they get their own water and snack, they sweep up their own messes, materials are put away when completed. Plus they learn how to plant and pick their own food in the garden. - The guides are HIGHLY qualified in both the toddler and children house communities (think graduate level credentials) in addition to the AMI certification. This is a huge difference compared the frequently underpaid 'teachers' in 'day cares' that just watch the kids. - The lead teacher and staff are amazing partners in parenting - they help think through challenges a child might be having and provide a lot of insight into their development - it's like having a developmental coach for the child! Some things to be aware of is that you need to make lunch each day - I know other places will provide lunch, TCI does not. There are a lot fewer pictures that you receive in comparison to other pictures - as Lishi said, the focus is on child development, not taking pictures. I would be happy to talk to any parent who is interested in TCI - I know that sometimes it is daunting if you aren't familiar with the Montessori approach. I've added in a few pictures to this review - these are my children only (which is why I blocked out the other child's face). Masks are not required, the one picture that had a mask on was because my daughter was coughing and I didn't want her to get others sick :)

In addition to loving the care my granddaughter is receiving, I am grateful that TGS provides her parents peace of mind that she is so lovingly taken care of while they are working.

Overall, I haven't really had any complaints with Kiddie Academy. The teachers have always been…read moreextremely wonderful and helpful. They take great care of the kids. But lately, it just seems like management has taken a step back. Whenever you call or email, no one would answer or I'd never get a response. When I finally did get a response to an email it was weeks (sometimes months) after and the response was cold and a little off-putting. As if they were annoyed that a parent would have a question about their child. It doesn't seem like there is clear communication between management and their staff as well as a lack of communication between management and parents. They seem to be short staffed and the current teachers are over worked to where they can't maintain the proper kid to teacher ratio. This ultimately affects the kids and hinders them from being moved up to the proper classrooms; which is very detrimental to their development. Because when a child becomes complacent and isn't being challenged enough, they get bored, act out and can regress.
