Minnieland Academy at Heathcote

"Our son started attending since early this fall, and has been enjoying his time here! It was his first time at daycare. Having been home with me, we were nervous to see how he would do, but within a week, he was happy to go! We love our teachers, Ms. Jenny and Ms. Riley! The staff is kind and friendly as well! We have peace of mind knowing that our son is in good hands!"

"As new parents we were so anxious to send our baby to daycare. The team at Minnieland was so welcoming and put all our anxiety at ease. Not only do we love Minnieland, but we can tell our little one loves it too! Special shout out to Ms.Kat in the baby steps class, she is so caring and our little one is all smiles every morning when we drop her off. We couldn’t be happier and are excited for our future with Minnieland at Heathcote."

"My name is Sara Brunetti and I am a parent of Minnieland Heathcote. I have entrusted the teachers at Minnieland Heathcote with the care of my children for 11 years now. My eldest daughter was enrolled when she was 1 years old when we moved to the area. The teachers at Minnieland Heathcote are extremely caring and helped with her educational growth. She is now 12 years old and has been in the gifted program since 1st grade. My youngest daughter has been enrolled at Minnieland Heathcote since she was 6 weeks old. She is now 9 years old and also has been in the gifted program since 1st grade. Diane Miner the Director and Kristi Fisher the Assistant Director have been at Minnieland Heathcote longer than I have been sending my daughters there. I absolutely recommend Minnieland Heathcote for the care of your child. They enrich the lives of the young children and take pride in the work that they do with the children. The have a structured program that allows children to adapt to being on a schedule which certainly helps when they become of school age. They also have a great summer program where the older children go to a pool and also on field trips. I highly recommend Minnieland Heathcote to help nourish your child’s mind through a caring, nurturing environment."

"My oldest daughter started at Minnieland - Heathcote when she was 1.5 years old and is about to turn 5. We've absolutely loved our time at Minnieland and will keep her enrolled until she starts kindergarten. She loves her teachers and the staff so much and is always telling us all the fun things she's learning and doing. We started our youngest out right at 3 months and have had a phenomenal experience in the baby room too - I love getting to see how much fun she's having/the snuggles she's getting when I come for pick up. Highly recommend Minnieland - Heathcote!"

"My son has been here for about a year and a half and has transitioned to two rooms so far, as he grows. All the teachers and staff are so kind! His first main teacher was Ms. Makayla and she is phenomenal (1-year-old room) now his teacher in the young 2-year-old room Ms Charlotte and Ms. Caitlin among many other teachers as well as the Director, Ms. Diane and Deputy Director, Ms. Krisiti are also are also just as extraordinary!!!! Hats off! I absolutely LOVE getting the pictures of my little one on a daily basis so I can see him and updates throughout the day about his meals - how much he ate, diaper/potty updates, activities, etc. They use an app called KidReports (they used to use PreciouStatus which I liked better but this is still fairly new) this is used to report out updates and information which I think is very helpful and adds some peace of mind to our days while away from him. This Minnieland is incredibly organized with a curriculum for each age group, menu and communications sent out on a weekly or recurring as needed basis. Of course when little kiddos start they are more reserved about getting dropped off but the staff opens their arms and hearts to the kids and we feel so happy knowing they are taken care of while we are at work. Included are various activities as well such as Ice Cream truck days (truck pulls up and you grab your ice creams upon leaving, or sundae making upon parent pickup on occasion, holiday activities and Trunk or Treat (decorate vehicles at Halloween and the kids get to trick/treat in the parking lot)"
