From the first moment, We knew we were in the right place

It is so hard to think that we will not be at Sleepy Tigers everyday after my child going to Kindergarten. We cannot thank you enough for all you and the teachers do. From the first moment we started, we knew we were in the right place. You have a gift and it shows in the amazing school and staff that you have. We will miss seeing you everyday!

Outstanding preschool

Outstanding. We have tried/visited or interviewed at quite a number of the high end day cares in Minnetonka, Eden Prairie and Wayzata. Without question this is the best of the lot. Our two kids love it here!
