Playworks — Attraction in Prior Lake

Playworks is wonderful for our family's situation, I work evenings and my fiance works mornings. We end up only needing someone to watch our daughter a few times a week, depending on my schedule, as my fiance has a set schedule. It is easy to drop-off and pick-up. The teachers in the pod my daughter attends, which is for infant - toddler, are wonderful men and women who clearly take their job seriously and love the children and the work they do.

My only gripe is cost, which does go down as your child gets older, and a few issues we have had in the past with things getting misplaced. I left our primary carseat at the front desk for a friend to pick our daughter up with, they claimed that they didn't have it. Come to find out someone had moved a bunch of the carseats to another room without informing anyone. Another time they forgot to give my fiance my daughter's shoes, claiming they were in her diaper bag.

All in all it is a wonderful place to send your kids for care, be it long or short term. their rates are high, even for kids who are contracted care, but the facility is nice, big, and the employees/teachers are wonderful and will take very good care of...

Because it said on the doctors note he had a covid test so the next day we returned with the negative result of the covid test and they said that we still can't bring him in because we need to get approval from the tribal council saying that he is clear to go back. How are people supposed to pay their bills when they don't accept kids that are perfectly able to go to go to daycare. I do not recommend bringing your kids to this place they charge you for money even if they don't accept your kids. And how are you supposed to get approval from the tribal council if they never...

My 16mo old daughter and I went there to play and see what it was all about. The employees are very inviting and friendly. The climbing structure with the slides is awesome and I could see a kid spending a ton of time and energy in it because there are so many twists, turns and levels to it. The tot area was pretty pathetic. The toys were dirty and the ones that were battery operated didn't work. They had a tactile board that my daughter found cool for all of two seconds. The other thing that my daughter really likes was the interactive light and dance floor game. We will definitely put Playworks in our arsenal of places to go when we are...
