My daughter has been attending Kindercare North since she was an infant. She will be 5 this year. She loves this school, her classmates and of course her teachers and the directors!!! She will be sad to transition to a different school this fall. The staff have helped her develop and build useful skills. She has some needs for more targeted services. So she will be transitioning to another school to receive extra support and help. During her time here the staff have been very accommodating. They have done a great job of helping her focus on her academic goals. So she is now more prepared and on track for preschool. Thanks for everything Kindercare North you will be missed!!

We LOVE our KinderCare school! The teachers are superb and very attentive. Heather, the director, is top notch and excellent at communicating with families and taking suggestions. The COVID protocols are fantastic and strongly adhered to and make my family feel very safe. The friendships developed here have been so meaningful especially in this season of less interaction with loved ones. We can not say enough about how much we love this school!

Our daughter attended as an infant - we only left because of a move (and even then seriously contemplated driving over 30 minutes one way to keep her at KinderCare). Heather and all of the infant teachers are awesome! Every day brought new and exciting sensory and motor activities (including finger painting!). We loved getting updates and pictures throughout the day - you can tell that all of the teachers treat the children like their own. My transition back to work (as a first time mom) was made one million times easier knowing my baby was having a blast and being loved on all day at daycare. We wish we could move Heather, the teachers, and center further south!

Our family loves Eden Prairie KinderCare North (aka Valley View)!!! We have been a KinderCare family at this location since 2011 when we moved in from out of state. At the time our oldest was 3 years old and we were looking for a full-time daycare center that provided him a well rounded experience to prepare him for Kindergarten and beyond. We were so impressed by the teachers and how much he was growing academically and socially after just a short time. KinderCare didnt disappoint, so when our second child came along we enrolled him right away in the infant room, and he was there until he graduated from Pre-K. Building great relationships with teachers and friendships he still has today (even 4 years after leaving KinderCare). Both boys transitioned into kindergarten with no issues. They have over exceeded targets academically, and I strongly believe it is because of the great foundation they built while at KinderCare. This last year we returned again with no hesitation and enrolled our third child. We are so happy to be back at KinderCare. Heather welcomed us back with open arms, and helped answer any questions we had especially during this COVID time when a few things have changed. She put us at ease as we approached our daughters first day. Since our daughter started 3 months ago, the communication has been amazing. The KinderCare app allows us to see how her day is going, and we always enjoy the photos the teachers share. We know we will cherish these photos for years to come. We appreciate the love and care she receives everyday. She is always in a happy mode and tired from her fun day. I cannot wait to see her grow in her experience at KinderCare, just like her brothers did. Heather and her team of teachers go above and beyond everyday for these kids. We are so grateful to have them helping raise and develop our children. It takes a village and happy my kids have the support they have here.

My daughter is getting ready for Kindergarten and I always get multiple updates on what she’s learning at school. The Pre-K staff and director are awesome and make going to school so much fun!

Love love love this KinderCare! My kiddos been going here for almost 3 years. The teachers are wonderful and super caring - and the curriculum is fantastic. My kiddo has learned so much there. Defs recommend!

Highly, highly recommend KinderCare North in Eden Prairie! Weve been taking our son there for almost two years and love it. The second I walked in for a tour, Heather and the staff made me feel like family - they treat you with the respect of a parent, which is often hard to come by in Daycare Centers. They are flexible and accommodate all the needs we request. The staff cares for my child, just like one of their own children - with love and care. If youre questioning where to bring your child for care, this is the place!!

We LOVE KinderCare north! Heather and her staff are amazing. I love how honest and realistic the staff is as well as how accommodating. We currently send our 2 kids here and are planning on sending our 3rd. Watching how all the teachers care for our children and inspire them to grow and learn is amazing! Our children love the teachers. Drop offs are so much easier when you know your kids are being taken care of and the kids are excited to go to daycare each day. Even when we do have a rough morning the teachers are quick to communicate and give updates throughout the day to reassure us that our kids are having a better day. Plus the other kids and families are so wonderful. Everyone says raising kids takes a village and Im so thankful that KinderCare is part of our village.

Love this place and cannot say enough good things about the staff. They’re so helpful and so wonderful to the kids. We’ve had both our kids start with them and we continue to love it.**Update Post Covid***Great updates - Has absolutely been a blessing in these crazy times. I get videos and pictures constantly to help transition my 1yo. The drop off/pick up process is fast and safe. They take every precaution. Heather and Jenn love my kids and its felt every day.

I am very happy that I have my 2 year old in this kindercare.They are quick in their response and extremely reliable!They provide easy communication and updates about my son’s activities through their kindercare app and this works great as it eases my mind when am working😊! I trust the entire staff of kindercare with my child.

I honestly love this daycare. I moved to a different state where I didn’t know anyone personally in the childcare field. My daughter has absolutely loved it since day one. Every teacher there has made me feel like she is well loved. The directors work hands on in the classrooms and care about each child equally.

My daughter attended Eden Prairie KinderCare North from the time she was a baby until this summer. The only reason we withdrew was to enroll in Preschool. If we could bring Heather, Paula, and the rest of the team with her as she starts school, we would!If youre looking at daycares and dont know how to decide, my recommendation is to visit at the end of the day. Staff at other daycares look tired, exhausted, and in many cases, unhappy at the end of the day. KinderCare North was the only place I saw where the employees looked happy, and you could tell they loved the kids.My daughter absolutely loved her teachers, made great friends, and I had the security and peace of mind knowing she was with people who truly cared about her.

I love this daycare!! The staff is way beyond helpful and go above and beyond for their families! I couldnt be more happy with this daycare for my child.

After searching 10+ different child care centers in Eden Prairie this past fall, we made our decision to send our daughter here. Heather is an excellent center director and is the reason we made the decision. We are happy with the care our daughter receives. Thanks!

We moved back to Minnesota this past winter and were so fortunate to find this center! From my initial tour I felt like it was such a warm, friendly, clean, and engaging place for my son to spend the day. His teachers are so invested in his happiness, and the center directors are incredible. They keep in touch when needed, and they always make time for me if I have questions.It is never easy leaving your child in someone elses care, but I really feel that this center is the best alternative to having him home with me.

We had such a wonderful experience at EP KinderCare North. We are a military family and both my husband and I had obligations that required my parents to watch our children for a couple of weeks this summer. My parents still work and we required weekday, full day care for our two kids. Heather and the team were more than accommodating in helping us secure care for those two weeks. My kids had such an amazing time, and it really gave my husband and I peace of mind knowing our kids were taken care of. Thank you so much for helping us out, it meant more than youll ever know! Highly recommend this location!

Heather and the team at Valley View Kindercare are amazing. Our almost 3 year old has been enrolled here since he was an infant, and we couldn’t be more comfortable with and confident in the care he receives. He loves to go each day, and we love our Kindercare family!

Weve had our daughter Soy Soy at the EP KinderCare since October 2017... she LOVES it there.. and they love HER!! We have been beyond impressed with how the staff and caregivers have blessed her as she grows in their care. We are so thankful! ❤️👍

Love my kinderCare family. From the management team to the teachers this center has being heaven sent for my family. These ladies are family to my daughter and I. Thank you Heather, Paula, Vanessa, Kayla and all the other teachers for make us feel welcomed from the first day!

Can I give more stars?!?!?!? :)Heather, Kayla and the entire team of teachers at KinderCare are absolutely lovely!! Our daughter attended KinderCare for a year while we lived in Minnesota. I honestly cried when we left this daycare, we loved it so much!I have always been reluctant to leave my children in the care of others and was apprehensive at first, as I’d have been about any daycare. I quickly fell in love with every teacher that cared for our baby. I always felt the care she received was exceptional and she was properly loved and snuggled! As she grew out of the baby room and into the toddler program, She surprised us daily with all the new things she would learn; ABCs, counting, tons of new words, songs and dances. She was so excited to go to daycare; she would talk about giving her teachers “huggies” and playing with friends! :)I can’t say enough great things about our experience with KinderCare. The friendly, loving and knowledgeable staff really made us feel at ease each and everyday we dropped our daughter off. Thanks for loving our little girl. We miss you guys!

It was a tough decision to move to a center, but we are really glad we did. Heather Larson and the team have become some of the most trusted people for our child. They held our hand through difficult transitions and keep us informed of events. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a caring environment for their little one.

After the move from Eagan to EP, both kids started to go here with their two cousins. Extremely friendly and polite staff. Definitely recommend this particular KC because of staff, they make the difference. As to the one star review below, it does not reflect the reality. Never heard or seen director Heather or other staff members been rude to anyone.

Very Nice Center. Everyone is very caring. My son absolutely loves Mr. Louis his teacher. Director Heather is very flexible and understanding with everything.

Great staff, engaging environment, and overall wonderful place for your child to learn and grow!

We couldnt live with out this place!! I have had both of my children at the Valley View Kindercare for the last 3 years. My oldest son started kindergarten this fall and he was very well prepared mentally and emotionally to start his formal education. My younger son is still there and is thriving! He truly loves the staff as if they were family because of how he is treated.Heather and her team take great pride in keeping the facility clean and organized. I live close and I know that there are some weekends where they are working overtime to set up a new theme for the kids to learn and grow from.This has been a successful facility for at least the past 20 years (my neighbors kids attended this Kindercare as well) and I am so happy it is part of our community!

Director is very rude when I called to check on availabilityShe didn’t even spend a minute to see what I want and just kept the phoneWon’t feel good sending my daughter there
