3 Best Preschools in St Paul, MN

We have had a wonderful experience with Kinderberry Hill in St. Paul! When we toured the school 9 months ago, our toddler jumped right in to one of the classes during our visit, and we haven’t looked back since! It has been a great fit for our son and he looks forward to going everyday. He absolutely loves his teachers! It has been fun to watch him grow and develop, his language skills have improved, as has his social skills, and the love of learning. The small teacher/student ratio is great so that focus can be applied to the needs of each individual student. The dedicated and compassionate teachers and staff are a huge part of what makes Kinderberry so wonderful, and that’s evident in the success and happiness of the students.

We strongly recommend Kinderberry Hill St. Paul. The teachers and administrative staff have been exceptional. We are particularly impressed by the teachers’ unwavering support and nurturing nature. Teachers Monica, Veronica, and Kyle are all very caring and kind. They develop excellent lesson plans, and we have been able to observe significant development in our son's social, emotional, and academic skills. Our son thoroughly enjoys attending school each day. The culinary offerings are fabulous, and we are particularly grateful for the school’s dedicated nurse. Thank you for everything you all do.

Kinderberry Hill St Paul - Grand is simply the best. All four of our children have gone through their program and we still have two at the center. We love all the staff. They are always accommodating and willing to take the time to answer questions or address any concerns you may be having with your child’s development. No question is silly. The experiences the children get on a daily basis cannot be matched. The activities their teachers come up with are impressive, always learning focused, and the kids love them! All of the teachers are wonderful, we’ve never had a teacher that we didn’t like, they truly care about the children that go there. We also love that there is a nurse on staff, that adds another level of comfort. Highly recommend.

Our oldest recently graduated kindergarten from Jean Lyle after two years there. What we thought would be a good gap year, because of the summer birthday, turned into a community of love and friendship that our family is forever grateful for. We are sending our second child for preschool and have no doubt that he will equally feel loved, respected, and learn to love learning. The teachers are truly special and have experience that put them above all the schools we visited. They allowed our son to not just learn but to grow. They let kids learn at their own pace and in their own individual ways, which our kids, and all kids really, need. I cannot say enough about Jean Lyle. To use their phrase, it is a place where our kids are given roots and wings.

We have two children who attended two years of preschool each at Jean Lyle Children’s Center. I could not have asked for a better experience during these young years. My boys loved going to school there and built wonderful relationships with their peers and teachers. My whole family made connections that we continue to highly value even though they have both moved onto elementary school. The learn through play philosophy that is embraced at Jean Lyle was exactly what I was hoping to find. In addition to that, the social and emotional development that is intentionally fostered by the teachers helped to prepare them to be successful in kindergarten and beyond. We will cherish the memories and friendships made there and look forward to our third attending when he is three.

The instructors are so caring and nurturing, meeting students where they're at with their development. So much experience amongst their small staff, retention is strong! This is our first year enrolled with our 5 year old in the 5 day half day program, which is such a perfect fit for our family, and they have all day options + options for younger students as well. The curriculum is amazing; with a level of learning I wouldnt have known possible for young students. Thank you Jean Lyle staff! Support this school in any way you can and give your child the education of a life time.
