  Minnieland Heathcote is the best decision my family has made for my kids growth and development.

Minnieland Heathcote is the best decision my family has made for my kids growth and development. Their fun and educational programs always keep my kids stimulated and wanting to go to school everyday. The teachers and staff are always friendly and engaging and constantly give us reassurance that we made the right decision.

  We have and will continue to recommend Minnieland Heathcote to coworkers and friends.

Our 3 1/2 year old daughter  has been coming to Minnieland at Heathcote since its doors opened last year. The main reason we choose Minnieland was because of the teachers. What we love best about Minnieland and its entire staff is the love and nurturing the children received. They are greeted with smiles and hugs every day. In a sea of many children each child is made to feel special. The variety of educational and fun activities are wonderful and we credit them with teaching our daughter educational and social skills and preparing her for kindergarten. She comes home every night with a different story of all of the wonderful things she learned during the day including being able to write the letter J. We know for sure that when we drop her off every morning, she is in very good hands, and that she will have a day of adventure ahead of her.   We have and will continue to recommend Minnieland to coworkers and friends and would tell anyone who is interested to observe a Minnieland classroom for a little while. They will see for themselves what a great place Minnieland is.

  Minnieland Heathcote’s staff and administration are top notch, helpful, and professional as they come.

We’ve entrusted Minnieland Heathcote with the early education of our two daughters, one of which has graduated from Minnieland and who is a gifted 3rd grader. Our other daughter is still in Minnieland Heathcote’s care and really loves her teachers and classroom. She comes home with fun stories everyday. The school staff and administration are top notch, helpful, and professional as they come. I can’t recommend this school enough as it has a family feel and is a safe and happy place for your children

  Minnieland Academy at Heathcote is fabulous!

This Minnieland is fabulous! My daughter only went here for 6 weeks because we moved. She was in the infant room. The teachers were very friendly and caring. My daughter always smiled when we got there and seemed to have a lot of fun everyday. The ratio was always correct (4 infants per teacher). As soon as they would go over, the director or someone else would go to the room until another teacher arrived. There weren't too many kids so I knew she was getting plenty of attention. My only complaint is that they gave bottles every time she cried instead of figuring out why she was crying. On her first day, they gave her a ridiculous amount of milk, when really she was crying because she was tired. After a few days, they were able to figure out her needs better though. I definitely recommend this location!

  My children are safe, happy and well cared for at Minnieland Heathcote.

It is said that more people tend to provide feedback or comments when the service is not up to par. I on the other hand have always believed that when amazing customer service or care is being provided that everyone should be aware of the service. It allows the person providing that service to realize that their efforts were appreciated and that they made the person on the receiving end feel good. I have been brining my four year old daughter to Minnieland Heathcote for three years and my 17 month old daughter since she was six weeks old. I have encountered such caring, intelligent, creative individuals at my Minnieland. They have nurtured my girls as if they were their own children. My girls are being intellectually challenged every day that they are there and are offered an array of activities to meet their developmental needs. A parents biggest fear is trusting someone to properly care for their child. Not once have I questioned my decision to have my girls at Minnieland Heathcote. They are safe, happy, well cared for, and intellectually stimulated every day. I had reservations when I had to bring my daughter at six weeks old. She was born almost two months early and was very fragile. I felt like a horrible mother for bringing her so soon. Diane Woods, the Director calmed my nerves (and wiped my tears), and was there for me through the turmoil I faced. She has been a great resource to me since I was a first time mom and always available if I ever had any questions. My daughter was officially diagnosed with Asthma and requires a nebulizer treatment when her Asthma acts up. Minnieland Heathcote will administer this medication for this potentially life threatening diagnosis. They allow me to continue to work without wondering every second of the day if my girls are okay. I am so honored to have met Diane and to be able to have my girls surrounded by such an amazing staff of teachers. They are all so kind and do an amazing job with my girls!!! I love Minnieland Heathcote!!! Thank you for putting my heart and mind at ease.
