I VERY HIGHLY recommend Preschool Project Kids in Burnsville. Both of my daughters have spent 4-5 years there. It is part of the Burnsville School District and is located in the Diamondhead Education Center on Burnsville Parkway & Pleasant Ave. near 35W. Some of the great things about PPK:
- They offer full-time and part time schedules, which means any combination of 1/2 days or full-days, M-F.
- They are very good about keeping to ratio, unlike a lot of centers that push the ration boundaries.
- Many of the staff have been with them for 5-10+ years. They are loving, appropriate, competent, and dedicated.
- They offer age-appropriate curriculum for toddlers and preschoolers.
- I also missed my daughters, but I never worried about the care they were getting because the staff in each room was so good.
Let me know if you want some contact info or specific names of teachers in the classrooms. Good luck with your decision.
