Childrens Village Montessori Day Care Center

We had both of our kids at CVM from the time they wrew babies. They are grown-up now. We still stay in touch with the center even though we no longer live in Minnesota. Mary Jane, Lisa, Letty are are like family to us and they are an amazing team. We feel  very lucky to have found them. The other staff was always great, too. Mary Jane runs a wonderful little "Village".

While I've not utilized this center for my children who are all grown adults, I can say that I've known Mary the owner for YEARS and have never met a more dedicated person to the heart, soul and well being of the children she provides care for.  Everything she does is for the children.  When you walk in the door the feeling is that of excitement and joy.  As her insurance agent, it's easy to understand why the walls are bursting at the seams with happy customers.  My star rating is based on Mary as a business partner and observations as I visit the center.

My child has attended CVMDC since he was 6 weeks old, and he's now 4. It's a very close-knit group of teachers there, many of whom bring their own children to school there. I've gotten to know each of his teachers very well as he moved from the infant, to mobile babies, to toddler, and finally to the preschool rooms. I've always felt very comfortable knowing that my child was safe and well-cared for there. And it's an incredible bargain compared to what other daycare centers charge. Their new facility is beautiful and spacious. I'm very happy with the amount of feedback I get on how my child is doing. I'm very grateful for CVMDC.

We began sending our kiddo to Children's Village when she was 6 months old (Dec 2016- she's almost 10 months now). We were hesitant about a center, as we came from an in-home daycare situation that wasn't working out. We were worried it was too big and our daughter wouldn't get the attention/care that she required since staff attention may be divided by so many other kids. We had this vision of an "assembly line" style of care giving, which made me super uneasy.

Mary, the owner offered a long list of references (current and former parents) after our tour. Upon calling ALL of the references provided, I was blown away by all of the positive reviews. Many of my fears about a "big bad center" were eased by listening to the fellow parents who talked about this place like it was a gold mine.

The cost is affordable and the facility is nice (newer). The infant teachers are so sweet and seem to genuinely care about my little one. They spend time playing with my daughter, but also give her space and independence to explore her surroundings and socialize with the other babies. From what I've seen, and by talking to other parents, the staff turnover rate is quite low.This is a huge positive in terms of consistency in caring for the babes.

The infant room is "divided" into 2 areas- the little baby room (where my daughter is) and the mobile baby room- which is great for the infants that are more active in their walking, crawling, playing.

The location is convenient for us. It's located right on the edge of UofM campus, near TCF bank stadium. They have a great big play yard (with a brand new swing set) outside.

I'm very happy with our decision to enroll our daughter at Children's Village and recommend highly!

We love CVM. Our son started here when he was six months old; now three+, he loves his friends and his time at school. Our daughter started at three months and clearly loves her baby room teachers.

CVM's price is very reasonable for good center day care. The new building is nice, I like that they have their own playground that is safely right next to the building.
