Preschool rec's?

We're looking for preschools in the South Minneapolis area (willing to go to parts of Edina/Richfield/St. Paul) and I'm having a hard time finding something that I LOVE.  Ideally it would not be a "center" type of school, more of a church basement type of nursery school...not a daycare type.  I'd also like there to be some type of "security", like key card or code access to the building/classroom area.  We looked at a couple schools that I really liked, but they seemed really accessible to anyone who happened to be walking past.

Suggestions?

Fraser School in Richfield. It's an inclusive preschool (kids with special needs and tyical needs). It also has a Pre-Kindergarten option for older kids. It is not accessible without a code. It also has a nurse on staff every day. All children get music class each week included.

Aiden goes to Crossview ECC in Edina (169& 62) & we LOVE IT. You have to have a Key Card to access the building so I feel it's really safe. We have been going here since Nov so feel free to ask me anything.

We go to Bright Prospects Co-op Preschool - right behind the East Lake St Library in Longfellow - is in the basement of Trinity Lutheran Church, though not affiliated with the church, they just rent space. We LOVE it. Great teachers, it's a co-op preschool, so it's parent run, you have to volunteer in the classroom once a month, etc, but it works great for us and its nice to be involved in your child's school.

We also have friends that send their kid to Urban Arts Academy Preschool -  https://www.urbanartsacademy.org/ and they really like it. And it's an all day preschool, which is kind of nice.
