Crème de la Crème Learning Center of Maple Grove

"As a former employee, I highly recommend considering all other options. There's only 2 people in management who are helpful at all and actually care. The rest of management runs around like high-school kids gossiping. Some of the stuff I've heard them say about parents is not okay. Employees are treated like they are simply a number and nothing more. Not many of them are happy because of this. I've witnessed teachers screaming at kids, and nothing has been done about it. Children's needs are not met when it comes to nutrition and entertainment. If I had kids, this is the last place I would be sending my children. The negative reviews on this place are also super accurate. There's a lot more that could be said about Crème and none of it would be good. Overall, the thing they care about most is the money families are handing over when their kids are not always properly cared for, and there are reasons as to why they always have room for more kids."

"RUN do not walk away from this place. It's awful!!! I'm pretty sure the accountant doesn't exist because you can never speak to her. They charge you incorrectly majority of the time and don't take good care of kids. The director will not respond to emails or concerns you have, I wasn't given access to the center which the supposed "accountant" was the only person who could give me a code..., my kid was yelled at, her inhaler was taken away because we were refused paperwork multiple times, the food is disgusting- canned and processed foods only. All together the worst experience we have have ever had with childcare. Our kid hasn't attended in over a month & they just charged us over 800... $400/wk for a toddler 3 days/week... toddlers don't even get to use their facilities... what a joke. There's a reason there are always openings here. BEWARE."

"I had my daughter at this daycare for about a year. Everything was great and the teachers were great. Their reporting system is absolutely horrible. About two weeks ago our daughter fell out of her chair and hit her head. When I picked her up she started throwing up which lead to an ER visit. We were told 3 different stories from the daycare of the incident. Because of these different stories and the mysterious scrape on her head (told us it was her nail, doctor said it was not since it was too straight). The doctor told us to get a CT scan and to file a CPS again the daycare is something showed up. Thankfully it was clear!! But because of so many different stories we got, not even reviewing the video until the following Monday at 9:00 am (the fall happens at 11:45ish on the Friday before) we took our daughter out immediately. I would not recommend this school."

"We love CLA! Our daughter loves going to school every day. Its so comforting to know that all the teachers there are so welcoming and caring to all the kids, from the moment they step into the building. Its awesome to see how when our daughter walks in they all greet and know her name. She is learning so much and enjoys all the activities, loves the kitchen, bowling, and the outside playground. She especially loves her teacher, Ms. Megan is the best!"

"Absolutely love CLA! We've had our two children there for almost a year and a half. They really enjoy all of the different rooms- dance, science, art, culinary, imagination island, etc, as well as the huge outdoor playground. We've experienced preschool, pre-k, and their before/after school program. And, I've been incredibly impressed with their academic program throughout. My daughter was completely prepared for kindergarten. The teachers and staff are hands-on and very caring. You can tell when you pick your kiddo up that they've been well taken care of."
