As a mental health professional, this is the one and only childcare center I considered for my children. Since a child’s self-concept begins forming in the early years, and since 90% of a child’s brain is developed by age 5, I wanted them in the very best place possible to maximize life outcomes.

Our kids have gone here since they were infants and we have been very pleased with the care they have received! We originally chose KBH edina because they offered part time infant care when looking for childcare for our oldest. Now, going on 6 years, we will be sad to say goodbye when our youngest goes to kindergarten next fall. Highly recommend!!
All of the staff are friendly and seem to genuinely care about the children.

Our family has had a wonderful experience with Kinderberry Hill. From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the children. It’s clear that they take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.
The teachers do an excellent job balancing structured learning with play, helping the kids build important social and developmental skills while still having fun. Communication with parents has also been great—we always feel informed and confident about how our child is doing each day.
One of the standout aspects of Kinderberry Hill is having a dedicated nurse on staff. Emily is absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly reassuring. It provides an extra level of comfort knowing there is a medical professional available who truly understands the kids and keeps a close eye on their health and well-being. That added layer of care and expertise really sets this center apart.
One of the things we appreciate most is the sense of community. The staff goes above and beyond to make both children and parents feel welcome and supported. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands.
We’re very grateful to have found Kinderberry Hill and would highly recommend it to other families looking for high-quality child care.

Our children have been at Kinderberry for 6 years and we have been very happy. They have been very well cared for. The teachers are wonderful and have helped both of our kids grow so much. The teachers have been there a long time and there is low turnover. The onsite school nurse is so comforting to have and she has also been there the entire time we’ve been at KBH. She is wonderful! Our daughter was extremely well prepared when she went to kindergarten. Highly recommend Kinderberry!
