For Parents and Guardians


Think smart.

Kids start learning from the moment they’re born. As young children, they’re having learning experiences everywhere—at home, in child care, or at school.

Finding the right care can be overwhelming, and we are here to support you in this important decision. We’ll provide you with the information, tools, and knowledge to help identify your care and early education options.

We partner with Parent Aware, Minnesota’s quality rating and improvement system that gives you the tools and information to find the best quality child care and early education for your child.

When you’re thinking smart, Think Small.
