Trusted Daycare & Preschool in Minnetonka, MN

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!

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.

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.

We love this school. The director Shaina is amazing. She goes above and beyond to organize and plan fun events for the kids and for the kids' teachers. The communication is top notch. Miss Liz is exceptional and I appreciate her so much. The teachers know all the kids' names and are always asking how the boys are doing. I feel so comfortable at this school. My work hours fluctuate and they are so accommodating. Every time I go in there the kids are happy, well loved, and playing. I also love that they value outside time and get the kids outside a lot. Another positive is the price. CKA does a great job at keeping prices on the more affordable side, which I appreciate!

We have been so impressed with Creative Kids Academy! Our child is in the infant room — the teachers are so welcoming, kind, and attentive to our child. We love all the updates we receive throughout the day and appreciate the open communication with parents. Oftentimes when searching for a daycare, parents' #1 concern is staff turnover; however, CKA has little to no turnover, which speaks to the excellent management team. Thank you for always making us and our child feel welcomed and supported!

If you're shopping around for a daycare, you'll often find similar accreditations, apps, and security protocols. What sets CKA apart is its people and 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 daughter's physical and emotional well-being, as well as our role as parents. While some facilities may impress with sleek décor or brand-new amenities, CKA stands out for its quality of care, emotional intelligence, and the strength of its developmental approach. They also truly live up to the “creative” in their name — not only in how they thoughtfully decorate the classrooms, but in the fun, imaginative art projects our daughter brings home. Our daughter has flourished here, growing into a silly, curious, and loving little human, because she's surrounded by people who create a safe space for her and her classmates. Being away from your child for 8+ hours a day isn't easy, but CKA's thoughtful updates — a quick note on her mood, a photo from an activity, a highlight of her day — make us feel connected and confident she's in the right hands.
