What Families Saying…

Kassandra H.

My child has attended this center for almost a year now and we absolutely love it. Big shout out to the toddler teachers who are extremely amazing. It's rare for me to feel comfortable leaving my child and knowing they are well cared for and safe. I like that we have an app where we get updates...

Lule T.

My son started at CKA in the infant room, and the two teachers there were absolutely amazing. They always kept me updated, were honest, and maintained excellent communication. Since he was little, it was tough for him to adjust, but they were always so understanding and eager to help. When he...

“Brought my 3 boys 2 CKA 5yrs ago. Im a new mommy again after almost 10yrs & the only place that popped in my head for childcare was CKA. An amazing place, not to mention the staff is beyond phenomenal. Staff keeps you informed on special dates, closings, weather, child being sick, needs...

Miracle R:

“Creative Kids is an amazing Day care. I have 3 children who all go to the Anoka site and I loooooove everyone of their teachers. Always loving and caring when it comes to our family. Each teacher make it a point to teach where its needed the most and the lines of communication are always open....

Tia D:

“I would like to THANK YOU ALL for being there for my baby…Gino. My child is with you 5 days a week, for 8 hrs each day. I must say the education he is receiving at a young age from CKA is incredible. Gino comes home everyday with a new skill. It makes me so happy that it makes me cry. You ALL are...

Lisa S:

“My daughter has been attending CKA Anoka since she was three and sadly this is her last school year because she will be "graduating" from day care. Many of the staff have been with us since the early years and are like family. It's great to have that consistent care all these years. We will...

“Whenever I can get the opportunity to write a review about Creative Kids Academy in Anoka, MN., I take advantage to do so. I can say the same thing over and over about this AMAZING place that I bring my 1 year old to Monday - Friday (excluding holidays) but that would be boring.From the hours of...

The kids LOVE going to daycare every day, and we trust the staff immensely. Our kids experience regular enrichment experiences that keep learning fun — everything from in-house science days, water days and bounce house weeks in the summer, new songs, yoga and...

Our children's creativity and imagination has flourished at Creative Kids Academy! They provide a home away from home atmosphere with the smaller center size but still have the convenient hours that working parents need.

Robert C. -Maple Grove

The team here is exceptional, comprised of genuinely caring and understanding individuals. You can feel the love and dedication as soon as you walk through the door—it's palpable. The educational aspect is equally impressive, boasting a robust preschool curriculum...

Rachel E. -Maple Grove

My son will be going to Kindergarten this fall, and attended full day preschool last year— so I was really looking for a center that would continue to challenge him academically and socially. This was the perfect fit.

Elizabeth K. -Maple Grove

My biggest regret with CKA is not finding them sooner. If you don't value a stranger's review - check out CKA's DHS review. Not a SINGLE violation in 5 years. For reference, that means every tube of diaper cream is properly labeled with first and last name, not a...

Joseph R. -Minnetonka

Our priority when looking for a daycare was that our son was safe and happy, but CKA goes so much further than this. He has developed so well since he started here, from his physical and mental development to his social skills, developing in ways that we would not...
