We have been sending our son here since he was 6 months old, and we cant speak highly enough of the staff and leadership at Annas Bananas. We are so blessed to have such a great partner in raising our child and we know he is always safe here. I highly recommend Annas Bananas!

We love Anna’s bananas! We have been been in the Anna’s family for over 3 years now (apple valley then here) Our boys learn so much and are so excited to go to “school” every day. The teachers make learning fun and truly care about each and every student. I love getting daily photos and updates of my children with the daily connect app. Then teachers capture the best moments and I am thankful for that! Daily connect also makes communication with teachers very easy! I am so grateful for such an amazing center.

We love having our kids at Anna’s! The staff do an amazing job with the kids and it feels like they’re with family. I can feel confident they’re in good hands while my husband and I are at work. It’s a joy to hear all the fun things they learn and do throughout day and to see all the friendships that are forming. They use Daily Connect which allows us to get updates and pictures during the day. I also really love all the activities they offer for the kids such as Soccer Shots, dance, music, etc!

I vowed to myself that I would never compromise on my childrens daycare. I drive nearly an extra 45 minutes a day to bring my children to this school/daycare. The accountability, love, and encouragement that my children receive daily means the world to me. I also encourage the additional programs that are offered here from music classes, soccer shots, and dance. My child seems much more advanced then other children her age and I believe Annas has a lot to do with that. Thank you Annas Bananas!

We absolutely love Annas Bananas. We now have two children who attend Annas Bananas Daycare. When I first had to go back to work after maternity leave, it was much easier to return to work the second time knowing that my little one would be in such good hands. The Daily Connect app they use is awesome as it always keeps me connected to what is going on and is great for communicating to the teachers during the day. Our kids are watched so well and we love their teachers as they truly care about our kids. I can not believe how much our almost 3 year old has learned because of her time spent at Annas Bananas. Shell be in the car and start counting in Spanish or starts talking about the weather, which are all things that she learns at school. She loves going there. She especially enjoys doing all the art activities, which we enjoy seeing, and going to soccer shots. Our little 8 month old is always experiencing new things too. He is even learning sign language! Annas Bananas is truly a great place.

We couldn’t be happier being at Anna’s Bananas. We love getting the updates throughout the day along with pictures that shows us what our son is doing – which definitely helped when I had to go back to work after maternity leave. Not to mention, allowing us to get pictures that we wouldn’t normally get due to him being the second child. We get to see him develop and share in milestones that we typically would miss while being at work. The level of care and attention our son gets from all of the staff is amazing. He is constantly happy to see everyone that works there and gives them each a big smile. Oftentimes I’m surprised at the amount of staff that knows who our son is as he hasn’t been in many rooms yet – only 10 months old. If we have a concern or question, we are comfortable enough to bring it up and it will be addressed by the appropriate person either immediately or as soon as they can get the information. We are also huge fans of their outdoor space – playground, basketball hoop/court area, and lots of grass! We can’t wait for spring/summer to roll around so our little guy can roam around outside. Being working parents, we had to find a place where we felt comfortable enough to have our son for about 10 hours of his day – the best parts of his day – and we really found it with Anna’s Bananas.

We have been with Anna’s Bananas for 7 months and have been very happy with our experience. I feel like the teachers have taken the time to get to know my family, especially my daughter and what her needs/wants are. She loves going to daycare every day and we feel like she learns a lot while she’s there. We couldn’t be more pleased with our time at Anna’s Bananas so far!

We are loving it so far. (Lakeville) My twins seem to be doing well and learning a lot. They are toddlers now and all transitions are hard but the staff are very patient and kind. My son has food allergies as well and they have a good plan in place to keep him protected. I love getting the photos everyday. Cant get by without them now. Seem to have some staff turnover but overall we like.

My husband and I knew the minute we walked in the door at Annas Bananas that they were the right place for us and our son. The teachers and staff are wonderful. They do a fantastic job with each child and its amazing what our son has learned while with them. We were worried about him being a preemie and being behind in development. All the projects, listening to music, sign language, reading stories, and playing in the gym have helped him keep up with full term babies. My husband does drop off and pick up each day due to the proximity to his work, if Im lucky enough to get to do pick up the staff know me the minute I walk in the door and they dont see me that often. Its a comfort knowing they pay attention to who the parents are and who is picking up a particular child. Our son loves being at Annas and loves being with his teachers every day. I would highly recommend Annas Bananas when considering daycare for your child.

I brought my son to Annas Bananas for a few months when the center first opened and we had the best experience. The director was amazing and always there to answer my questions, which were often as a first time Mom and I know my sweet boy was well taken care of throughout the day. The Daily Connect app was EVERYTHING to my husband and I when I went back to work as we were missing and could easily pop on the app and check in. Unfortunately a few months in we moved to Blaine to be closer to family so we had to leave the facility as the commute was too far, but if I could have picked up the center and brought it with us, I would have. Annas Bananas come to Blaine!

Annas Bananas is great! We have been at the Lakeville West location for about a year and a half. We have two kids so we have been in a few different rooms and the kids have loved their experience with their teachers, friends and all of the programs that AB has to offer. It amazes me that every single teach knows both of my kids and seems to know them well. My kids get excited to go to school every day and talk about what they learn at school every day. I love that the teachers greet my kids every morning and always give me a recap and have time to chat about my kids day.You can tell how much the teachers care and love every one of the kids! I absolutely love this place and would recommend it to anyone!

When we moved to Lakeville, Annas Bananas was the one and only daycare center I checked out. I had heard good things and the moment I took a tour I knew it is where I wanted my son to be. The people were warm and welcoming, the center was clean and inviting, and I just felt right about everything. That is what you hope for when choosing a daycare for your child. We have been extremely happy and my son absolutely loves it!

From the minute we toured Annas Bananas when we were expecting our first, we knew it was the right fit for us. The friendly atmosphere and cleanliness was immediately reassuring. We started at Apple Valley and moved to Lakeville West when this location opened. We LOVE it here! The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. We have been going here for over three years and now have two children enrolled. We enjoy Annas because we know theyre getting great care, love and education throughout the day. The Daily Connect app is a huge plus! I love feeling connected during the work day. Its hard being a working family and missing your kids during the day, but getting alerts and seeing pictures of what theyre up to is a great feature. I would recommend this location over and over.

We searched many daycares before choosing Annas Bananas. We have more of a complicated case with severe food allergies. We needed a place that could accommodate and fully understand all of our intricate needs. My child is loved, educated, and kept safe (most importantly) at Annas. They have a catering service that accommodates for all of our food allergy needs which is a great relief for us. We could not have asked for a better teacher. She is intelligent, nurturing, and truly cares for our child. The director and front desk staff are informed, easy to work with, and extremely communicative. The center also updates an app that we can use to check in periodically throughout the day.

I would highly recommend Annas Bananas without hesitation. The teachers are caring and attentive, the facility is beautiful and well kept and the administrative staff are responsive and professional. They do a great job of collaborating with outside entities to provide additional activities and classes. My kids are are excited about their school and are always smiling and having fun when I arrive to pick them up!

Our child is has been at Annas Bananas for almost 7 months and overall we are happy with our experience. The staff is caring and responsive, and our child is learning a lot. I also love the Daily Connect app they use so I can see pictures of our child throughout the day and can see what they are doing and learning. And in the south metro, Annas has the best pricing for a daycare center.

Love this place and highly recommend! We no longer attend because my husbands job transferred us out of state but we were so sad to leave! The staff all became family to us. Please bring Annas Bananas to Michigan! Miss you all!

We love Annas!My daughter has been going to Annas since she was 9 months old and she loves it!!! They have teachers that care and love my daughter! My daughter loves Ms Amanda and Ms Shelby. They are awesome teachers that teach my daughter so much.My daughter only goes 3 days a week and they are very flexible with our schedule.Ms Jasmine the director is so amazing!!! She is always friendly and just care so much for all the kids that go to Annas.Highly recommend Annas!!!Jess

We love having our son at Annas! All of the teachers are amazing and our son has learned so much while attending Annas. He really loves going to daycare and has a ton of fun while there. We know that he is in good hands when we drop him off every day.

We adore Annas Bananas - Lakeville West. Not only is it conveniently located near 35W for downtown commuters but the teachers and the staff are amazing! The facility is super clean and the special holiday celebrations are something kids dont get elsewhere. A major bonus is the music, soccer and dance programs that they bring onsite. A++ to Miss Marisa and The Little Dance Studio.

We LOVE Annas Bananas daycare at the Lakeville West location! Weve had the luxury of their care for two years now. ABs provides the stability of a center, yet the look and feel of a family home, which is the best of both worlds! ABs is kept very clean, staffed with wonderful teachers, provides healthy meals (including breakfast, snacks, and lunch), and great pre-school curriculum, and very fun summer program! Overall, Id recommend ABs to anyone looking for great childcare and at an unbeatable financial investment.

My Husband and I couldn’t be happier with having our two children at Anna’s Bananas Daycare. We moved to MN about one week prior to me having to go back to work with our first child. It was a stressful time having to scramble and look for the best daycare option for our family. We were lucky to find Anna’s in Apple Valley and what sealed the deal was that we learned our hometown friends sent their Daughter there too. We knew instantly that this was the place for our family. Fast forward a year or so and Anna’s Bananas Lakeville West opened – YAY! Only 1.5 miles from our home! The transition from Apple Valley to Lakeville West was so easy and seamless. Fast forward another year and we now have our two littles going there  We cannot say enough good things about the staff. Not only do our children absolutely love them, we do too! We couldn’t be happier knowing our children are having fun, learning and growing each and every day. It’s amazing all the things our three year old is learning and it’s so wonderful to see her grow and be so excited for the new things she is learning through their Preschool program there. My Husband and I absolutely love having the ability to check in on our children throughout the day too. Using their Daily Connect app allows us to follow along with what they are currently learning for the day, what they had for lunch, how long they napped for, and we even get to see pictures! It helps our days go by fast and again makes us so happy to see how well our children are being taken care of. I would also like to note that within the first year or so for BOTH of our girls attending Anna’s Bananas, they each went through some scary medical challenges. A couple of the instances happened to be while they were there. We cannot thank the staff enough for their support and love to help us get through those scary situations. It’s so comforting knowing how much they truly care for our children.

I have been bringing my daughter to Anna’s Bananas since she was 10 weeks old. She is now 4. As a first-time mother, I shopped around the Farmington Area and looked at several daycare centers. When I first walked inside the Farmington location I was astonished at how clean and quiet this facility was. The teachers loved my daughter since day 1 and I’ve become close friends with a few of those teachers. I’ve always been a fan of Daily Connect and receiving my daughter’s pictures and updates throughout the day. I loved that they schedule photo shoots every year, and offer dance and soccer classes, so naturally (being Italian) I put her in the soccer program. She loved it! After 3 years I moved to Shakopee and had to transfer my daughter from that location over to the Lakeville West location. (The closest, but yet so far) I didn’t like the change at first, but I always felt welcomed there and now I’m finding consistency in the type of people they hire and absolutely love this center as well. Unfortunately, I had found another job in Chanhassen and didn’t want to commute from Shakopee to Lakeville and back again to Chanhassen, so I took my daughter with me at the daycare I was working at. That lasted 9 months. Recently I found another job in St. Louis Park and when I called the Director over at the Lakeville location, they welcomed her back with open arms! I love the care and attention she gets from all of the staff and they know her sassy little self as she makes herself known like she owns the place. She is constantly happy to go, even with all the changes that were happening in our lives. I am still wishing for a new center to open up in Savage! I will continue to stay with Anna’s family until this Fall, when she will continue her Education in her new Elementary School. I will always be thankful of the education my daughter received and will miss everyone when that time comes.
