Quality & Recognition
What Mounds View Families Are Saying
Friendly staff. My child has been going here for over a year and she loves it. She adores her teachers and all the fun things they do inside of the classroom as well as in the community with special events. She can write her first and last name.
— Danielle L
We love the art, STEM curriculum and most of all how much the girls love going to school every day. We trust the Center and staff to keep our kids safe and learning and very happy with helping us transition to all the infant and toddler firsts.
— Elizabeth H.
We have been consistently impressed with the variety of activities that help engage the kids, build new skills and master movements or language. The meals provided for the kids help them explore food items we may not have often at home, but being around other kids helps new food seem less scary. Great events we’ve been able to enjoy as a family to meet the staff and other families, include: picture day, back to school party, holiday pageant/sing along, among others.
— Leah W.
One thing we love about CKA is how everyone knows our child - not just the teachers in his room, but when we're walking out of the building at pickup time, any staff member who passes us in the hall says hi to him by name. It makes us feel like he's part of a community and that the staff really know him and care about him.
