Minnieland Academy at Cloverdale

My son attended this daycare starting at 3mos of age and is now in the toddler program. While childcare anywhere is going to have its ups and downs, in general we have been happy with our experience here. The teachers all seem affectionate towards my son and interested in his wellbeing, and he already knows many of their names and greets them happily. They do all the stuff you hope to see like having a reading curriculum and getting a fruit/​veggie with every meal. The center also has a *huge* amount of outdoor space compared to other daycares I’ve visited, with multiple age-​appropriate play sets. For the older kids they also have a small pool — a pool! — completed with some spray toys. The kids have to pass a swim test before they are allowed in. When I was a kid we never had cool stuff like that at daycare!
