Re: WBL daycare referrals

  • Hi there! I have a great recommendation.  Laurie Healy has an in home daycare just off County Road J in WBL.  Her husband is a Principal in Hugo and she follows the WBL school schedule.  She has three kids herself and is SO wonderful!  I am a teacher in WBL and my son just turned one year old.  I am not going back because we needed to find something closer to home (Cottage Grove) now that my husband can help with pick up/drop off.  I know she had a few openings the last time I talked to her.  Her email is laurie.e.healy@gmail.com.  She is only open 2 days/week in the summer because she follows the school schedule, so that might be an issue for you.  But she is wonderful and I was sad to leave!
  • Hi,

    This was my biggest headache! We transitioned our daughter from Grandma to daycare at 1 1/2 as I wanted the education and socialization. My husband is foreign so education was top on his priority list. I, being in social services, my priority was licensing violations, teacher qualifications and background checks. We DRILLED and I mean DRILLED the centers we looked at. I was there for over 2 hours at most locations asking questions, reading reports, and questioning the heck out of staff and a few kidos too.

    We had to go a little outside Roseville but it has been a blessing. Hands down!

    They are located in Maplewood at the Woodlyn Hills Church. White Bear Ave & Larpenteur.

    Great centers fill up fast! I believe her preschool program is full right now but I think she has a couple spots for younger ones.

    Best of Luck!
