This is truly the best daycare and preschool I know. Before enrolling my child at Paidea, I toured…read moreand interviewed 17 daycares in the surrounding area. Paidea stood out immediately for so many reasons. The staff is loving, caring, and deeply hands-on with the children, creating an environment that feels warm, welcoming, and like a second home. The school is clean, safe, and stimulating, with thoughtful activities that keep children engaged, learning, and excited to come each day. The teachers are kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in every child's well-being. What makes Paidea especially special is that every staff member is involved--it feels like a true community that is nurturing, helpful, and fun, always going the extra mile to support not only the children, but the whole family. My child has truly thrived here, receiving educational, emotional, and social support, and I feel complete confidence knowing he is in the best hands. In addition, my older son attends the summer program and absolutely loves it. It offers the same strong sense of community while giving him the chance to learn so much and have a wonderful time. I wholeheartedly recommend Paidea to any family looking for a place where their children will be cared for, supported, and encouraged to flourish.

We enrolled our only child to Primrose St. Louis Park when she was 3 months old and we were…read morefortunate enough to have her in this specific location Until she turned 17 months old. Being a first time parent, I wasn't sure what to expect with a public daycare.. having my daughter essentially cared for by strangers for 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week was worrisome as thats more time than I even get to spend with her.. however, Saira and the team of teachers and even Chef, have made a huge impact on our life in such a positive way That I will forever be grateful for!!! From day one of our orientation with Saira, to the first day we brought our daughter into the Infant room, all the way to the last day, when we had to take her out due to a family relocation/move...every day with Siara and her team, felt like they were my family! Not only did The staff/teachers make sure my daughter was cared for with love and care but they spent one on one time with her, teaching her a wide variety of categories that were essential for her core development at her age. I owe her confidence to every teacher she engaged with! There was never one second that I felt worried about her and that is the ultimate feeling any parent dreams of when others are caring for their children! Long story short, Primrose St. Louis park was a true blessing and are some of the most impactful people I have met This far in my life. That said- THANK YOU... Saira- for everything!! thank you for being a wonderful person and leader in a field so demanding and challenging. Thank you for helping me navigate my first year of parenthood outside of your everyday role. Your medical field experience, kind heart, and profound memory made a huge impact on me, and is a big factor in the trust I felt leaving our daughter everyday! You deserve more credit and acknowledgment than I'm sure youre currently receiving and hope your know you made an huge impact on my life! Thank you to the Infant room teachers - those who have been there for years (Ms. Joelle) and those who have moved on. you help care for these babies in such a nurturing way, helping them adjust into the world of chaos in a warm and loving environment! And thank you to the toddler room teachers- those who stepped in to help out and those who hold the ground in that room (aka ms. trinity "titi")! you all have made our daughter feel loved everyday, the second she walked towards her classroom, she would light up and be so excited to see you guys, even calling YOUR names out in the morning in the car on our ride there! and she only Knew about 10 words at that point.. 5 of them were your names!! And To Chef- thank YOU! thank you for keeping the kids belly's full with nutritious foods and most of all, thank you for your continued smiles and greetings in the morning hallway pass through. you always brightened my day! All in all- I can't say enough positive things about the staff, process, care, and overall atmosphere at this location. If you're lucky enough to get a spot, i promise your children will be in great hands! Forever grateful for all of you! THANK YOU For all you do! -Grace and her parents miss you dearly!

As assistant director here, I get to watch many teachers fall inlove with their job. Here are a…read morecouple of reviews: I am here to collectively collaborate to share ideas and to help children become self-confident, cooperative, and ready for school age learning in elementary school. To teach children and help them learn the curriculum. To assess students in their academic levels and assist them and challenge them. To be positive, help students to be self-confident, cooperative and ready for future school experiences! I work here to grow my knowledge with kids. I welcome families with smile on my face to show the kids parents that we are reliable and loving teachers. I am working here to gain experience in teaching and childcare. I believe that children are the future and we must allow them to grow and learn to their fullest extent. The opportunity to help shape the generations to come is a huge honor and an equally huge responsibility. I believe that I am here to provide the future generations the best care possible so that they can carry the torch of problem solving and innovation as they grow into adults. I do this job because I have a passion for working with the kids. I love the early stages: seeing them develop their sweet/funny/all different and unique in their own ways. They are truly the best to be around. I think together as a community we should get to know our teachers more in order to make this family a community. I love seeing the continual growth of my students both in academics and social-emotionally and being able to share my love of learning in hopes to have them become life long learners. I want to provide an educational, safe and loving environment where they can thrive. Early Childhood Education has a huge impact on future success and I want to make sure that my students have access to that. I love my job because I love and teach kindness, to learn and help others, and to grow my knowledge about the career path I want to follow. I also love to encourage and help our students reach their full potential. I myself had a most amazing daycare lady, Barb. I always knew I had a safe place to go where I would always be loved right from the start of my life. I've always wanted to be that person like she was to me. Children are our future. They are among the most engaging and most intriguing audiences one can work with. They bring out my own creativity. I want to help steer children in a positive direction.

Our kids are going to different schools and love the before and after care. We drop them off in the morning, where they are served breakfast and in the afternoon they get an afternoon snack before I pick them up. Our kids actually tell us "don't pick me up early". Which I think is proof that they love being at KB. Last year our 4yr old was in PreK with Ms. Lori and Ms. Irina. We couldn't have been happier. We loved the wonderful and consistent teachers in the class. They keep an orderly class while having lots of fun! I would recommend you stop in for a visit if you're in the market for an outstanding child care center.

I would like to share my experience with EPM, which has been quite mixed. While the school has a…read moresolid reputation, I left disappointed.  Not only in the education my daughter received, but also the overall attitude of the staff and unprofessional communication.   Communication from the staff was often unclear and inconsistent. I found myself acting on their recommendations, only to have them recant those suggestions when it was convenient for them.  It felt like I was being gaslit.  At times, my daughter's provider recommendations were not followed.  They would state my daughter was the only child not napping as an example, but yet there was a room full of children not napping.  They stated my daughter didn't have friends not knowing that we played with kids from class on regular basis and still do to this day.    A particularly memorable incident that encapsulates my experience occurred on Halloween. My daughter was thrilled to wear her light-up princess dress, exuding pride and excitement as she arrived at school. However, the teacher checking in students remarked, "wow, that is distracting," in an annoyed voice, which was incredibly deflating for my daughter.  I think my daughter picked up on that she was not liked by the staff and that impacted her.  The overall lack of smiles or morale didn't seem good in my experience.   Changing a child's daycare/school setting can cause a lot of disruption.  That is the only reason why we stayed as long as we did and tried to make it work.   On a positive note, Soccer Shots, Wee-Move, and Piano teachers/coach were great.

The teachers and staff are all very caring, and got to know our kids really well from the start. Our kids (2.5 year-old in Toddler and almost 5 year-old in Casa) had an easy time adjusting.

Both of our kids participate in activities that come to school (piano, dance, yoga, soccer) and enjoyed them, too!

Courtnee (Principal) is a wonderful leader and absolutely love and adores the kids! And so respectful and understanding of parents concerns. The staffs are also so warm and welcoming! Diverse teachers My favorite part is they hire diverse teachers, this allows my son to learn about different cultures! Because of diverse teachers they try to celebrate different cultures New Years and holidays! Which is so rare in most daycares! Live streaming No other daycare offers this, to be honest I miss it. Also why they are more pricier than others. But so worth it for a paranoid parent like myself! If you're Asian My son is the first in my family to be sent to daycare vs staying home with grandparents. So there was a lot of stigma with daycares. I have to say it's so worth it, he developed quicker, learn to eat on his own without being hand-fed. Is more independent and grew up in a more fun but structured environment! My family who were skeptic are seeing the overall benefit of daycares and this particular one! Great communication Whether through apps, emails or office visit they are available to chat with you and follow ups fairly quickly. Clean! The school is fairly new! So it's clean and they do a good job of it. Our new daycare I can smell the diaper stench during pickup but didn't smell it once in the 2.5 years we went to Everbrook, must be good ventilation. The floors are always swept and tables are cleaned and sanitize which I appreciate seeing! I miss this daycare and the people there now that I have experience other options. Whatever you are doing Everbrook keep going!

The teachers here - and owner Erin! - are absolutely the warmest, kindest, and most genuine people. I'm constantly amazed at the creativity they put into each day for the kids: from building forts, to the dramatic play station, to themed crafts and working on letters and counting, they do such a wonderful job at providing an environment that is fun and safe. And the ratios! You truly can't beat them. The fact that there are only 3 (!) babies in their infant room and 4 toddlers in each group (younger and older) is something you just don't see anywhere else. I also love the parents here, several of whom have become "real life" friends! It's such a joy hearing all the stories of his day from my preschooler, it's obvious how much he loves his teachers and this school. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

It seemed to be fate that there happened to be an opening that came up when my daughter turned two and a half, just in time to start the preschool program. The philosophy and teaching methods that this school bases itself upon are far superior from absolutely every other preschool that we looked in to. The staff consistently maintains an overall higher level of expectation for these kids. Which was so impressive to me because at such an impressionable age these young kids are being held accountable for themselves. They take such pride in the work that they accomplish either by themselves or in a group. They are respectful of not only the boundaries of their peers, but more importantly of themselves. As a result they are rewarded by having more freedom in their choices. From science lessons, to music class, yoga, art classes, dramatic play (my daughters fave!), weekly sharing day, to hearing what creative game they made up that day while playing outside. The amazing staff, conferences & daily progress reports, the ever so anticipated Halloween party, and sincerely wonderful families and parents, I could go on forever. Overall the three years at The Little School was a tremendously positive experience for our whole family. We now have a first grader who is reading at a fourth grade level with impressive comprehension skills. As well as going above and beyond her schools curriculum in math and science. I'm so proud of her, and I attribute so much of her early successes to her time at The Little School.

As a first-time mom who struggled with postpartum anxiety, I was so nervous about sending my baby to daycare. But right away, I could tell Jardin was a wonderful place for him to be. Ms. Maria, Laila, Melizza, and Minny in Infant Room B were so incredibly loving and caring. I could tell from the start that my son was getting so much love and attention throughout the day, which brought me so much comfort. He's now in the toddler room with Marisol and Dianna/Julia, who are equally amazing teachers. Even now, when he sees his former infant teachers, they all light up -- it truly feels like one big family filled with love and connection. We've also been so impressed by how much he's learned, especially his Spanish! He was saying "hola" and "agua" before he turned one, and now at just two years old, he can count to ten in Spanish and knows so many words -- numbers, letters, colors, shapes, animals, and body parts. It's incredible to see how much he's grown in their care. I also love the app they use to share updates throughout the day. The teachers are so good about posting photos and noting naps, meals, and activities -- it really helps ease any anxiety and allows us to see how happy and engaged our child is. The directors are also amazing and always available to help with translation when needed. I don't speak Spanish and my husband only a little (and he's rusty!), so I was initially worried about communication. But it has never been an issue -- there's always someone ready to help, and everyone is so kind and patient. The enrollment team has also been fantastic -- prompt, organized, and easy to communicate with. We love Jardin Longfellow so incredibly much. It's such a nurturing, supportive, and loving environment, and we feel so grateful to have them as part of our family's village.
