Our Story

Children’s Discovery Academy of Early Learning was founded in 1981 as ‘Little Canada Day Care’. The original owners, Barb, and Tom Krejci started the program because they themselves were looking for childcare and could not find a program they would have trusted with their children.

Being good business people and concerned parents, they knew they could create a program that was high quality, safe, welcoming and also a great educational environment for the children in their care. They immediately hired a person with an education background to run the program and the rest is history.

The program in Little Canada was opened with one preschool room and continued expanding as the need arose. Within the first 6 months, a second preschool room and a toddler room were added. By 1984, parents were expressing a need for more than the traditional half-day Kindergarten the public schools were offering and our whole day Kindergarten program was created. As the needs of our parents changed, so have we. In 1990 our second location in Vadnais Heights was opened and our name was changed to Children’s Discovery Academy.
