  I couldn't be happier with our family's decision to send our kids to this center. We've gone from in-home childcare, to nannies, to having our kids at Kids Co, and I can honestly say this has been one of the best decisions we've made for our children. The staff is accommodating, welcoming, understanding, and just genuinely enjoyable to talk to. You can tell they care about the kids, and that makes a huge difference as a parent. I've never walked into the center and been greeted by a staff member suffering from a serious case of the Mondays. In fact, dropping the kids off on a Monday feels just like any other day—welcoming, dependable, and positive. Most importantly, the kids are happy to be there, which gives us parents an incredible amount of peace of mind. The school-age teachers are absolutely wonderful and bring so much energy and joy to the kids' days. Our kids are always excited to see their teachers and come home with fun stories. Ms. Vica deserves a special shout-out because our kids absolutely adore her. It's pretty hard to beat the excitement they have when they see their teachers—and as a parent, that's something you don't take for granted. Childcare is a huge leap of faith for parents. You're trusting other people with the people you love most in the world, and finding a place where you feel comfortable, welcomed, and confident in that decision is priceless. We've truly felt that here. I'd highly recommend the Prior Lake KinderCare to any parent looking for a caring, accommodating, fun-filled center. Stop in, meet the staff, and hopefully your family will find the same sense of comfort and joy that ours has. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

  Prior Lake KinderCare quickly took my family in after our previous provider abruptly closed and we have nothing but positive things to say. Both of my children felt cared & loved for and safe under their supervision very quickly. They made our transition smooth and immediately made us feel part of the KC family. Both the Director (Charlene) and Assistant Director (Theresa) have been so great to work with. They are very welcoming, answer any needs quickly and remind us often how great our kids are doing. The curriculum has been outstanding, and both of my kids have learned and grown so much. They plan fun events for families and great activities for kids. All of the teachers are incredible too. Both of my kids quickly developed special bonds with both of their incredible teachers who truly care & are so interactive with their classes (Miss Stephanie & her Aide, Lishan in Discovery Preschool and Miss Kihanna & her aide, Noelle in Preschool). We have been very impressed with not only their teachers but other staff members as well who have taken the time to get to know our kids and are so friendly! My kids even love Mary, the cook! The center itself is also very impressive. From the large inviting classrooms to the turfed outdoor play spaces & the indoor gym. We were really excited to have multiple spaces for our kids to explore and they have really loved it. If you are looking for a daycare/preschool for your child(ren) definitely check out PL KC!

  My very first day, I knew I was at the wrong place at the wrong time lol. Very disappointed with my overall experience. The staff was not welcoming, and unfortunately, the experience did not meet my expectations at all.

  We were at another daycare that we loved for years until we unexpectedly had to make a quick switch to KC with a number of other families. The transition was incredibly difficult, but from my first phone call and visit with Charlene, I felt like my family would be taken care here. Charlene and Theresa made sure every new family was immediately placed, equipped with cubbies and pictures of their families on the walls. My preschooler is especially shy, but with the help and encouragement of the staff, he has made so many new friends and has learned so much! His teachers, Emma and Tatianna, are incredible. They truly love and care about the kids in their class, and I hold them in the highest regard. Thank you, KC, for helping us through such a challenging period of time.

  We absolutely love this daycare! Sending your child anywhere new can be nerve-wracking, but the staff and teachers made the transition so smooth and welcoming. The facility is always clean, safe, and organized. Most importantly, our daughter is thriving here, she genuinely looks forward to going every day, and she comes home talking about all the fun activities and friends she has. The communication from the team is fantastic, giving us total peace of mind while we’re at work. We couldn't ask for a better environment for her! Highly recommend!
