What Families Are Saying…

Amber F.

We moved our daughters to Creative Kids earlier this year and have been so pleased with our decision to do so. The girls adjusted quickly, thanks to the caring teachers and are happy to go to “school” every day. We especially love the enrichment activities and...

Hanna S.

We love creative kids Minnetonka! Our son has been there since he was 16 months old and today he just went up to the preschool room! It has been so much fun watching him learn and grow and gain so much confidence all because of the wonderful teachers and staff at CKA....

Joseph R.

from the director to the teachers, communication is always clear and effective. CKA uses a combination of email and app (and for really important messages, a physical sign on the door to make sure you don't miss it). We always know how our son is doing - mood, what...

What sets Creative Kids Academy apart is its people and its curriculum. From day one, the teachers and director have shown our family genuine warmth, kindness, and care. Every pickup and drop-off feels personal and positive, and it’s clear they truly value our...

Leah W. -Elk River

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...

Pamela S. -Elk River on 10

The teachers are super kind, dedicated, and they really care about them and their development. My children are immerse in a safe and happy environment that has enabled them to learn and develop social skills. Most recently, preschool has implemented a behavioral...

The teachers and staff are always welcoming and pay attention to her little quirks and personality as she develops. They constantly foster and nurture her to grow. They are always active and lively in the classroom and interacting with the children.  Since starting at...

Kristin L. -Apple Valley

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...
