There is nothing more important than making sure my toddler is cared for by the best hands possible. At Edina Daycare he is safe to learn and explore. He has formed beautiful bonds with his teachers and classmates.

Edina Daycare uses the Brightwheel app where they keep the parents informed about all the activities that occur during the day.
Our family moved to the area just last year right before the school and I consider myself extremely fortunate that my son and I landed with this great group of people.
I am not exaggerating when I say that my son enjoyed every single day.
Wish nothing but continued success for Edina Daycare.
Thank you for all you do.

My son’s home away from home, and I truly mean it! The staff truly care for him like he is one of their own, and he loves them like family. He runs to them in the morning how he runs to us in the evening when we pick him up.
The curriculum is top notch and my not even two year old will throw in Spanish words that mom and dad are having to look up!
Not only do they love our son but they think beyond him to us, the parents. We get frequent crafts sent home, multiple pictures daily, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day crafts and even this week we got our first ever letter from our son in the mail… from daycare. It absolutely melted mine and my husband’s hearts.
On top of knowing this daycare truly cares for our son, we cared a little about the business side of things when looking for our daycare. We wanted flexibility because my job only requires us to send him two days a week. however occasionally we need an extra day added into our week which they have always tried to accommodate and respond to with quick communication.
When we were looking for a daycare we were two very lost parents looking to google reviews. I am so happy I read through each google review on Edina daycare and set up a meeting, quickly. We could not imagine him being loved and cared for by anyone else the way he is here. So if you’re looking for somewhere with love, amazing curriculum and flexibility look no further. You found it.

Our children have been attending Edina Daycare for 4 years now and I am thoroughly impressed with the care and education they have received. The staff have been absolutely wonderful! I see them show genuine love and attention to the children. They are always responsive and communicative, keeping me informed about daily activities, meals, etc.
What I've been most impressed with is the unique and engaging activities they plan for the children. The teachers clearly put thought and effort into creating a fun and stimulating environment. I could never dream up many of these!
The staff's enthusiasm and dedication to providing high-quality care is evident in everything they do. My children feel safe, happy, and supported. I feel confident and comfortable leaving my children in their care (which is great considering that our family has food allergies).
I am grateful to have found the teachers and staff at Edina Daycare. Thank you Edina Daycare for all that you do!"

We have had our 10 month old at Edina daycare since he was three months old. I always feel good leaving him here, as I know he is very well taken care of. The teachers are wonderful, very kind, loving, and responsive to the kids. They are highly attentive to his needs, and he is always so happy to see his teachers. They are always doing fun activities with the kids, and I know he is learning so much there. I would highly recommend daycare!

Edina Daycare is the most amazing daycare we have ever been a part of! We enrolled our son right around 3-4 months old and from Day 1 they welcomed him in and treated him like family. The staff always went above and beyond to give him love and attention and he always had a great day. They did a wonderful job of providing us pictures throughout the day of all the fun activities he was doing. We ended up moving just recently when he was about 10 months old and he was very sad to leave. We have toured many Daycares around our new area and none come even close in comparison to the level of attention and care our baby received at Edina Daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and safe place to bring your child for daycare!
