  As a previous employee of LN I was not going to write a review. However, I feel it is only fair to the families and children if I share my experience. Little Newton’s focuses impressively on positive reinforcement and communications with parents, which is great and means child are treated well here. However, this also means that teachers cannot always be honest with parents about the child’s day, actions, or learning. The process for telling parents about negative actions is not the most effective and behavior isssues often go unresolved. Also, Little Newton’s recognizes children’s incredible ability to learn, but the curriculum is not research based and does not use the most effective teaching techniques. It focuses much more on getting students to sit and listen and repeat foreign language vocabulary and non-contextual information to the teacher. I brought my concerns to the directors and owner, however, they did not show interest in improving the curriculum. The curriculum is not written not by education professionals or experts and the support for the curriculum is based only on anecdotal evidence.

  My daughter attends Lil Newton's Nest in Maple Grove and I can't tell you how great of an experience it has been. All of the staff at Lil Newton's Nest are friendly and truly have her best interests at heart. My wife and I go to work everyday and don't worry about our daughter here. We know that she is receiving great care and is incredibly safe. I recommend Lil Newton's Nest to everyone.
