Its time to GO!Staff took frustration out on my child only because I held them accountable! They stick up for each other.Tied laces too tight! Or didnt tie them at all. They are careless and inconsiderate. Staff ignored my daughter when she asked for a drink of WATER! they lost her Blanket. Staff shouted at my daughter to got to sleep during nap time hour. They have traumatized my daughter and she is scared to speak her mind. Notes didnt even get taken when my daughter was harmed by the kid she hurt today. Spiteful teachers and Bad owner.

We are very happy with the care our son has received at Today’s Life in Brooklyn Park. The center is beautiful and feels more like a well-kept home than a school. The staff is very friendly, caring and it is clear that the kids truly enjoy spending their days learning and growing here. We recently moved and after analyzing/touring 13 different daycare centers much closer to our new house, there wasn’t one that came close to the care, curriculum and activities so we are choosing to drive a little bit further to stay with Today’s Life. We could not be more happy with Today’s Life and highly recommend it to families looking for child care!

Todays Life has been a great place for our infant son. The staff is very friendly and professional, especially in this crazy time of covid-19. We are very happy with his care and I love the app. that allows me to see pictures of him throughout the day.

Our daughter has been attending for the past year. We are very pleased with the teachers, management and how they support Mia. They are responsive to our questions and concerns and I think they truly have the Children’s’ best interests at heart. The center is bright, clean and well organized. Mia will often come home and share new songs, words and skills she has learned at Today’s Life. We love the extra curricular activities as well such as soccer shots. Mia talks about soccer shots, coach Trevor and how much fun she has at soccer all of the time. We also love the daily connect app and being able to see how her day has gone. There is good communication between the teachers and us and we are very happy with our experience. Would definitely recommend!

Our family absolutely loves Todays Life. We have had our daughter there for about 1.5 years and couldnt imagine anyone else taking better care of her. We love all the staff and believe they truly care for our daughter - they have became a second family to us. Its been wonderful to see how the care and curriculum changes with the children as the grow older and develop. They keep the families very up-to-date on what they are teaching and give suggestions for things to do at home. Weve enjoyed receiving updates, photos, and being invited to the extra activities they plan for the families.

My children have been attending Today’s Life in Brooklyn Park since late November 2019. We absolutely love the care and attention that they are getting at Today’s Life. They are greeted by all the teachers by name, not just those in their own classes. The teachers all update me throughout the day through the app Baby Connect with pictures, what they are doing, how long they nap, etc. I love when my children talk about what they are learning at daycare and which friends they play with.The center is clean, bright, and I feel very confident leaving my children in their care daily.

We love Todays Life! Picking a day care can be a stressful choice, and it is such a relief to know we made the perfect decision. While things are a little different with Covid, some of the initial things that drew us to Todays Life were the indoor play area and the clear intentionality in the layout/design of the building. I love love lovvve that there are cubbies to store your infants car seat throughout the day. Every teacher weve had for our son has been wonderful - we adore Ms. Darcy, Ms. Patria, and Ms. Maria. The owners clearly care about the service they provide, and you can often find them on-premises. The centers directors Sarah & Linda are also a great asset and are awesome at keeping parents abreast of your childs care, safety, center improvements, etc. I cant say enough good things about this place!

We have been at Todays Life for almost a year. My daughter is now 4 years old. This is the first daycare/preschool environment for my daughter, and she has absolutely loved it and has learned so much from being here. Her teachers have been amazing, understanding and caring with her. One day, my daughter came home singing in Spanish! I love getting the daily updates and pictures through the Daily Connect app. I also appreciate seeing that the teachers take priority in cleaning the classrooms. I chose Todays Life because of the kind, approachable staff, the bright, open and well-maintained classrooms and the fun indoor and outdoor playgrounds. It is wonderful to know that even in the winter, the kids can go and run out their energy on the indoor playground. The staff has always been quick to communicate and answer any questions that I have. We highly recommend Todays Life!

We love Todays Life! Everyone from the directors to the teachers and the support staff are truly invested in our children. This is more than just a job to them, this is a real passion. The teachers are engaged and creative with their students learning. Which flows through my child and gives him an excitement to learn and to try new things. They are also very connected to the students, and create a place where the children feel safe and loved. We love Todays life, because they truly strive to challenge and teach our children through a well rounded curriculum, treat our children like family, and are in constantly communication with us as parent. I love Todays Life and their mission, and appreciate how they truly embrace community, not only by providing opportunities/events to celebrate with our children and meet other parents, but by also celebrating and teaching about different cultures that make up the world we live in. I can not say enough about Todays life, so I will just thank them....Thank you Tamara and Bruno and the entire Todays Life staff. My child loves coming to school daily, he is so excited to learn and even teaches me things. He loves his teachers, and so do I. They are goofy, kind, intelligent, well rounded, loving, patient and creative. Even though my littlest just started, I completely trust the teachers, and am excited (when he gets comfortable) to see his little brain grow. And I always feel comfortable talking with you, no matter if its to get information, to challenge or to connect for the success of my children. You all are truly family!!!!

Its been over a month we have enrolled our two kids in this center and we are very happy about it. The staff is awesome and very friendly. I love the fact that all of them including the owners are very welcoming and their door is always open for any concerns or questions. The facility itself is a great space; its a new building with nice indoor and outdoor play areas. The teachers are kind, patient and engaged, as is the Director, Tamara. I enjoy the daily reports and the pictures the teachers take. Were confident that our kids will learn lot every day at Todays Life in Brooklyn Park

Nice and friendly environment. My now 6 month old has been here since she was 6 weeks old. Her infant teachers Darcy and Maria as well as every other staff member has been nothing but nice, respectful and warming. I highly recommend.

The infant teachers are wonderful! They’re patient with us as first-time parents who are figuring things out. We moved to Today’s Life from another daycare, at the first daycare our daughter was tense and not herself when we would pick her up. It’s the complete opposite at a Today’s Life. She’s smiling, talking to the teachers, and sleeping! We love it!

We enrolled our daughter last summer when she was just 3 months old. As a first time mom, I was very nervous to make the transition from home to daycare. Thankfully, she was under wonderful care and leadership.We toured several daycares and Todays Life of Brooklyn Park was by far the cleanest and most organized, we love all designs and lay out as well. They are very responsive to email or phone calls (something lots of area daycares struggle with). I also appreciate their thoughtful programming and fun family events.As far as “tech”, they have cameras in and out and an app where teachers share feeding/ diaper schedules, as well as adorable pictures capturing developmental achievements and sweet moments (e.g. snack time with classmates).It’s been a joy watching her grow and thrive under the thoughtful care of her teachers and we will miss everyone there as we are moving away. We highly recommend!

The first day I left my son at Today Life, I was as upset as he was, but within five minutes after I left, the director sent me a message and a picture letting me know my son had calmed down and was doing fine. As we have continued there, the staff has continued to have that same level of communication, support and flexibility with not only my son but me as a parent as well. His teachers are always cognizant of his needs. When we started he was very wary around the other children and had delayed speech. They not only work to include him in the group and encourage his speech, but actively ask me to ask his speech therapist for ways they can continue to work with him during their time with him. They have also recognized his strengths and encouraged and challenged him in the areas hes interested in. At Todays Life, his speech and social skills have improved dramatically and I give much of the credit to their staff. There are few people I would trust with my son as much as I trust them. I couldnt recommend them more.

The turnover of staff is very high, I’ve never met a Spanish instructor. My grandson was there 18 months and does not know one word of Spanish. Very over priced for the offerings of the center Management doesn’t follow through on problems. Ms Monet and Ms Tory in preschool 1 are demeaning and instigators with the children. I would not recommend this preschool.

Words can not express how truly blessed we are to have our Toddler at Todays Life. We were previously in an in home daycare, so moving to a center was a huge change for us and him. However, in the last few months we have seen such a change in him. With the Daily Connect we can see his daily activities, behaviors (if he has one), meals/snacks and diaper reports.The teachers, Bruno and Tamara have exceeded our expectations and we are so glad to have popped into the Open House in June and met them.Changing the lives of those around you, thank you!

My son has blossomed at Today’s Life Schools & Child Care! As a one and a half year old, he learned the entire alphabet song and numbers 1-10 in just under a month. Now at just two years old, he can identify almost all of the letter names and knows several letter sounds! The curriculum that is taught is high quality. It is shared with families each week so they can have discussions and make connections to it at home. As an elementary teacher and grades K-12 reading specialist with a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, I’m highly impressed with this school program.In addition to the outstanding curriculum, the staff value relationships with the children and their families. The owners and director listen and respond appropriately to questions and concerns that may arise. The family events help strengthen the connections between the school and our home. I’m impressed with the owners, their goals, and what they have created here.The teachers in our son’s classroom truly care about him. He’s warmly greeted each morning and we are updated throughout the day (about diapers/bathroom, naps, learning activities, meals/snacks, and even photos) on the school’s communication tool, the Daily Connect app. It is so comforting to know what my son is doing throughout his day.From the beginning, the center has been in immaculate condition. It is clean, safe, and maintained throughout. The classrooms are developmentally appropriate for each age level. We are impressed with the child to teacher ratio and was a big contributing factor in our decision to send our son here. We also love the indoor playground and the outdoor spaces! Our son is always on the move and having access to these areas is so important.It is without any hesitation that I highly recommend Today’s Life Schools & Child Care in Brooklyn Park. Take a tour and ask questions about the things that are important to you and your family. You’ll likely be impressed just like I was!

Our two kids (3 yr and 1 yr) have been going to Todays Life - BP for about a month and we LOVE it! We love the structure of the curriculum. They do a wonderful job communicating the lesson plan, both daily and weekly. I especially appreciate the use of Daily Connect so we can see how the kids are doing throughout the day. The teachers and owners are so kind and wonderful - they genuinely care about the families and have been great with our Littles.

My 3year old son has food allergies, 0ctober 25 2018 I walked onto them having a plateful of the food hes highly allergic to, when I asked the two people who were present why they gave him wrong food they denied saying that (infact hasnt eaten it)they moved his plate and trashed it in front of me.The 2 people who gave the food were very rude and disrespectful and they did seem to care.I contacted the management, to report the incident but to my rude shock they told me to do what I wanna do. When I took my son back to school, the management stopped me at the entrance and told that they cant provide services to him any longer.As by the owner respond I never screamed at anybody,she is Lying.In the classroom I never screamed I know better I will never do that its all a lie.I never threatened anybody its alie.Even they they were gonna sit him by himself the way they claim he was gonna served wrong food which hes allergic to anyways.The paper plate was not just sitting it was snack time so they were Eating.I Never was told to leave the facilityI have documented records showing he was given wrong food more than one time.Bad customer service, I cant recommend Anybody to take their infant or toddler there, am happy that my son is a live today.

Employees have no compassion, and or regard as to welfare of entrusted kids. Sagety is an issue in that school, meals are not monitored nor served to need, kids are much on there own and rarely monitored
