Creative Kids Academy Mounds View — Local services in Mounds View

My experience with CKA so far... Both of my children attend this facility, neither one of them have ever been in childcare prior to coming to CKA and let me just say that this place has done an outstanding job with my kids. The first week was especially hard on my youngest seeing as he had been home with me for so long but the staff here at CKA went above and beyond to comfort him and make him feel welcome and part of the preschool Classroom. Not only did they help my son transition into child care but they also helped me, the staff was so patient, understanding, comforting and accommodating when we both were having a hard time. It’s been almost a year since they’ve started and both my children have grown and learned so much. My son, who was pretty shy and reserved when he started, now participates in all CKA has to offer, from yoga to Spanish and all in between. He loves to tell me about his day and what Him and his friends learned. My oldest is in school age and was a little nervous to start as well but once she met her teacher, she felt like she belonged. She loves to see her friends from school during the summer while she attends the awesome summer program CKA provides for school age. She’s gone on so many fun and educational field trips and is thrilled to spend her summer in the same building as her brother. I can’t thank the staff enough for making this such a positive part...

We started taking our oldest to Creative Kids Academy in May 2019 and instantly loved the connection and passion we saw the staff have for caring for kids. Our second started in the infant room September 2021.

We have been consistently impressed with the variety of activities that help engage the kids, build new skills and master movements or language. The meals provided for the kids help them explore food items we may not have often at home, but being around other kids helps new food seem less scary.

The center uses a mobile app for checking in and out. We love the real-time updates about the day, including meal times, naps, playtime, diapers, and photos of the day. It provides a level of comfort and open lines of quick communication with the staff caring for the kids.

Great events we’ve been able to enjoy as a family to meet the staff and other families, include: picture day, back to school party, holiday pageant/sing along, among others.

Through the pandemic, we have been extremely impressed with the actions taken to keep everyone safe and healthy, and mostly, the daycare center open for working families.

We recommend this facility to neighbors and area friends. Creative Kids Academy Mounds View and the staff have been amazing to work with over the last 2+ years and we can’t wait for more growth and engagement...

After being very satisfied with having my first child go here and succeed I decided to send my second child as well. Same results. Both of my children seem ahead of the curve. Neither have any reservations of being dropped off and my oldest always has good things to say when he is picked up. He's been enrolled for over three years now and after moving up to his fourth room and we've never had any problems with any of the staff; this includes all aides, teachers, and directors. There are many activities that CKA does that include the whole family, for example, the week of the young child and other holiday pageants that my wife and I are encouraged to attend and interact with. The staff really make it fun for the children and parents alike. I am looking forward for my oldest to move up so he can enjoy the field trips that the school age class go on. If my wife and I have another child I would absolutely send him/her here as well with no reservations whatsoever about the care that would be...
