Loving Shepherd Early Learning 5501 Glenwood Avenue, Golden Valley, MN 55422

"*i never write reviews* We were happy with the center my son attended from 3months-14 months. We looked at other options based solely on cost. We switched my son from a center to LSELC at 14 months old and he was placed in the toddler room (although he’d previously been in a baby room, and he was a few months “too young” to start as a toddler.) He is there part time and is THRIVING! He learns so much from daycare as it is, but LSELC isn’t just babysitting him, and I can tell! I’m so thankful for their patience as my “too young” toddler is learning the ropes at a new place. Ms. Michelle and Ms. Melissa take great care of my son and also pay attention to his growing development. We have conferences to discuss his development. Ms. Michelle brought up her observations in a non-threatening, kind manner. My son is the “observant” kind and didn’t talk much at daycare, so she mentioned wanting him to verbalize more. Luckily, with parents at conferences, he showed her some of his verbal abilities and she’s now seeing this progress at daycare too. She cares! She didn’t want to see my son get left behind developmentally by his peers. I can now see why there was such a wait list when my son was first born that deterred us to a center in the first place. I can imagine families don’t want to leave! I know we don’t plan to!!"
