Employee Testimonials
Roman (Downtown Preschool Staff Member)
Working at The Cradle Club has been one of the best opportunities I’ve ever had! Not a day goes by that I don’t go home without an incredible sense of accomplishment. These children have taught me so much about patience, kindness, and child-like joy! My boss and co-workers are incredible and I see myself here for a very long time.

Sarah (Edina Director)
I have been blessed to have been with The Cradle Club for almost ten years now! When I reflect back on my time spent here, I feel like it was just yesterday I came to The Cradle Club to work “temporarily until something better came along.” Ha, Ha! Well obviously something better did not come along- for I have the best job in the whole world!!! The Cradle Club is now my family and I can not think of a better place to spend my time or a better place to have my baby daughter spend her days!

Scarlett (Downtown Director)
If you were to tell me 9 years ago that I would be a Director at The Cradle Club, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. When I started, The Cradle Club was an opportunity for me to help develop my teaching skills and earn money. But it has become so much more. I learned what a family atmosphere at work can do for not only a child’s development but also the development of its employees. Since I have become a Director in 2004, I have felt privileged to actually help foster and develop that family atmosphere downtown. I am proud today, not only of the center that I manage and the people who truly make the center as great as it is, but also to be a part of a management team that really cares for its employees as much as it does its business.

Kayla (Downtown Preschool Teacher)
Working at The Cradle Club is so much more than having a job. Each day it continues to add purpose and meaning to life. It’s great knowing I can have a “job” that is not only rewarding but contributes to a higher quality of life for others. The friendly staff continues to be supportive, not only of my position at The Cradle Club, but of my life goals and dreams. There is not a better child care center to work for!

Nicole (Downtown Float Staff)
I have one word to describe my experience at The Cradle Club: FAMILY! I feel so blessed to work with this great group of people. They are all an important part of my life and I hope that I bless them as much as they have blessed me. We are all supportive of each other both personally and professionally. I simply feel like I belong here.

Kristine (Downtown Preschool Teacher)
I love the family atmosphere and the relationship that is established with the parents. I am truly blessed by having great kids and parents in my room. Although the best part about working at The Cradle Club is being able to bring my daughter to work with me everyday.

Jamie (Infant Teacher, Edina)
I have been working at The Cradle Club for nine years. I hope I can put into words properly what it has meant to me. I love the children, I love the families and you could not ask for better co-workers. I choose to work in childcare because I love and enjoy children and all the new experiences they bring into your life each and every day. I have 3 children of my own and could not ask for a better place for them to explore and learn!

Trisha (Preschool Teacher, Edina)
I have been a pre-k teacher at The Cradle Club for almost 15 years. I never thought teaching preschool would become such a passion in my life!

My own two girls have gone through our program and have truly blossomed from their experience here. I feel being a mom has made me a better more productive teacher, and being a teacher has made me a more compassionate and understanding mother.

Connecting one-on-one daily with the children and parents is what I love most. I also thoroughly enjoy planning, implementing and monitoring each child’s development. I have been blessed to work for and with such wonderful and optimistic owners, Scott and Maria and our fabulous director Sarah. They make me feel completely valued in all I do and say.

This center gives off warmth not found in many workplaces. This warmth is something to call “home”. I would not want to spend my day elsewhere! I am so grateful for The Cradle Club! This IS the best place for a child’s early education!
