1409 JEFFERSON AVE SAINT PAUL, MN

****We only offer full day preschool care, we do not offer half day preschool at this point** ***We are open Mon-Thurs, closed Fridays*** Turtle Tales is a Licensed Family Childcare operating like a Multi-Age Preschool / Pre-K where all ages are kept together to get the full spectrum of learning opportunities. We do a multi-age preschool program through Mother Goose. Children learn through play and by doing, we give them plenty of opportunities to do both. Our Program is unique because it gives the children a chance to learn from each other. The younger kids learn from the older kids and the older kids learn patience and tolerance from the younger kids. There are many hidden life lessons that can only be learned in this kind of setting, much like a one room school house did for past generations. Children getting ready for Kindergarten are able to work on their skills along side younger kids who are working on different age appropriate skills.

Caleb V. says "Having our kids in Turtle Tales has been absolutely of the most valuable, consistent positive influences in our kid's lives. I'm amazed how many life...

Cathedral Hill Montessori School

325 Dayton Ave Saint Paul, MN

Cathedral Hill Montessori School is a family-founded nonprofit private school providing a year-round authentic Montessori education to children from infancy through six years of age. We offer half-day and full-day programs for children 16 months to 5 years, all-day kindergarten, extended childcare, as well as an ongoing Infant Community class. CHMS serves families in St. Paul, MN and the surrounding areas. Nestled in the historic Cathedral Hill District, we boast a peaceful and charming urban location across the street from Boyd Park and attached to a unique mansion home. Since our opening in November 2011, we believe our programs are in high demand for the area. Our mission is to create a safe, beautiful and independent learning environment for young children; to educate families and the community about the Montessori philosophy; to instill in children a lifelong love of learning, respect and service toward humanity, and an appreciation and care of the environment. Montessori education is based upon the life work of Dr. Maria Montessori, who developed and refined a method based upon her scientific observations of children. Key elements that constitute a Montessori environment include mixed-age rooms where children can learn from one another; freedom to choose activities of interest during an uninterrupted block of time; and a well-prepared space that is child-sized and child-focused. The highly-trained and educated staff awaken the child's spirit and imagination; encourage the natural desire for independence in self-care, thought, and action; and help develop kindness, courtesy and self-discipline. A Montessori environment educates and helps develop the whole child by allowing practice with both social and academic skills and the room to nurture emotional and spiritual needs. Dr. Montessori believed that each child can develop into his or her best self: an independent person who is able to act appropriately as a global citizen and contribute to helping create a better world community for all of us. CHMS is a licensed child care program through the MN Department of Human Services and is also associated with the Association Montessori Internationale, an approved accrediting agency, since Spring 2012. We are just one of 13 schools in MN with this high distinction in quality Montessori primary education. Our staff, dedicated Board of Directors, committed parents and joyful children have all come together to build a strong and exciting new community.

Footprints II Daycare

251 Minnesota Ave. Saint Paul, MN

5 mi

Footprints II Daycare is owned and operated by Koralynn Boisvert, a licensed teacher and daycare provider of over 17 years. Although I have a license for up to ten children, I prefer to care for a small group of preschool to school-age children so that I can give each child the time, attention, and care that they deserve. It is important to me that we are able to be active in our community, frequently visiting local nursing homes, parks, and the library, among other locations. We have a semi-structured day, with time set aside for music, crafts, learning, and outdoor play. As part of the Federal Food Program, you can be assured that your child will eat healthy, well-balanced meals throughout the day. My husband and I have two older daughters and an 11 year old son, who are fond of children, and assist with our activities. We have an sweet, elderly dog, and a sociable rabbit who are kept separate from children unless a caregiver is holding the animal. I am open to extended hours and overnight care, and have provided both in the past. Please contact me anytime to schedule an interview, review my policy book, and address any questions that you may have. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your child's particular needs.
