Aldrich Nursery school provides a loving, nurturing environment for children, and I feel so lucky to be a part of this special place. We are currently in our 5th consecutive year as an Aldrich family with 2 of our 3 children, and our 3rd will be attending as soon as he’s old enough! Aldrich takes a play-based approach to learning and provides a rich, creative environment for kiddos of all abilities. The teachers are truly top-notch and we’ve encountered nothing but gentleness, kindness and an obvious genuine investment in our children’s best interest. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this school!

My son was the only four year old in his class who was told to sit in a chair because he liked to touch or hug other students. The first week was o.k. until he was not fitting in their mold of what a four year should be be in their opinion. I felt like they would of crushed his loving nature. They could not interact or direct him in a positive manner to learn the way he is fully capable with a teacher who takes the time instead with patience and positive learning environment. Also kids are mad to go outside in the pouring rain where my son would have wet socks and shoes.

Aldrich is hands down the best preschool in Rochester! The staff are always friendly, helpful and genuinely care about the kiddos that go there. Highly recommend this wonderful place!

We have our oldest son here and have just enrolled our other son here for next fall. This is our second year at Aldrich, and I can tell you that this is a very well run school. The teachers are outstanding. My son looks forward to going to school here and always has, no anxiety at all. It is a very safe felling school. It is a very nice building that was recently remodeled, and you can tell they have been doing this for a long time. I highly recommend this school for anyones children! My sister and I also attended Aldrich more than 30 years ago and it was great then too! You cant go wrong here.

All three of my children have attended Aldrich. It feels like our second home. We feel like we are part of a community having gone there. We have made some life long friends there and they have fostered a love for learning with my children. My kindergartener and 2nd grader love to come back and visit the school to see the school and the teachers.

I went to this preschool as a child and had the privilege of taking my oldest and (soon to be) youngest. I couldnt recommend a better preschool for children.

As a parent of two Aldrich boys, I am more than satisfied that they received the best preschool education available in Southern MN. Without a doubt, I suggest Aldrich to every young parent or could-be parent I meet. The importance of pre-kindergarten education is monumental to creating a productive, peaceful, and plentiful society.

I have two children at Aldrich and it has been a great expierence for both of them. The young of the two struggled with large groups and had mom seperation issues but now looks forward to schooldays.

At First, our experience was positive. That was short lived as soon as it was identified that my son was having difficulties.

We have had nothing but great experiences within the last 2 years. So much so, that were sending our next child there this coming fall.
