Imagine a place where your toddler might be bowling one hour, mixing up something delicious in a culinary kitchen the next, and reporting the weather from the news station after that. At Crème de la Crème in Maple Grove, this kind of day isn’t a fantasy. It’s part of the rhythm that makes learning feel like play.
From a young age, children are nurtured in a warm and supportive space where their natural curiosity is encouraged. As they grow, they explore a mix of enrichment rooms: STEM labs, movement studios, a theater, a library, and even a Spanish room. These thoughtfully designed spaces help kids stretch their creativity, discover new interests, and build confidence in the way they learn best.
As they get older, the fun continues. Crème offers before and after-school care with transportation to local elementary schools. Holiday and summer camps keep the excitement going, and extracurriculars like Amazing Athletes and Soccer Stars are part of the experience. Families love that everything is built into the schedule, with no extra pickups or coordination needed.
As a mom of four kids, I know how important that kind of variety is. Kids need space to move, explore, and engage their imaginations. When their day is filled with creativity and hands-on learning, everything just clicks.
Crème supports kids where they are and makes life easier for parents. The all-inclusive tuition covers meals, diapers, enrichment classes, and transportation, taking the stress out of mornings and after-school plans. From the moment you walk in, you can feel this place was designed with families in mind. Most reassuringly, with the state-of-the-art security system, parents can relax knowing their child is safe while learning and growing each day.
It’s all part of a thoughtfully designed experience. Crème de la Crème is built on strong leadership and a research-based curriculum that supports every stage of early learning. This vision comes to life each day through the dedication and expertise of their passionate, highly-trained teachers.
That same thoughtfulness shows up in relationships too. Staff take time to know each child and form real connections with families. It’s more than a school. It’s a community where everyone feels welcome.
That culture starts with people like Executive Director Emily Philips, who began her career in the infant room back in 2004. Today, she leads with heart and experience, supported by Director of Operations Syd Ally and Director of Quality and Education Nick Balcome. Together, they’ve created an environment where children truly thrive.
We asked Emily to share a moment that truly captures the heart of what they do. During a toddler class, students were practicing animal sounds (moo, quack, woof), when the teacher asked, “What does Jackson say?” Without skipping a beat, the little boy replied, “I’m smart.” It’s a simple moment, but one that shows how Crème builds confidence as much as it teaches skills.
If you’re curious about what this place is really like, you don’t have to wonder. Crème invites families to schedule a Discovery Day at no cost. Your child can spend time with teachers, explore the amenities, and meet new friends.
