What Minnetonka Families Are Saying

❝

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. I highly recommend creative kids Minnetonka! What a joy it’s been to be a part of their community!

— Hanna S.

❝

We moved our daughters to Creative Kids earlier this year and have been so pleased with our decision. 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 in-house field trips. We've had them in multiple centers and CKA is definitely our favorite.

— Amber F.

❝

My three year old daughter has been going to CKA since she was a baby and my now infant son goes as well. I couldn't imagine taking my kids elsewhere! The staff are awesome AND my kids are learning things I would be unable to teach them at home. They have yoga, karate, Spanish, and even a garden the kids help take care of.
