What Families Are Saying…

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...

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...

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...
