Mother Goose Inn Childcare is a family-owned and family-focused daycare provider that is conveniently located close to both I-35W and I-494 in Bloomington, MN. We have been in business since 1998. Many of our staff have been here since we opened and have or have had their children attend. We concentrate on keeping the center family-oriented. We welcome and encourage parent involvement throughout the Mother Goose Inn program. Classrooms and playgrounds are always open for observation and participation. You are always welcome to come to your child's daycare to observe anytime. Mother Goose Inn believes that a strong family environment is very important and is why we strive to meet each child's needs by providing a setting that both, parents and children, can relate to and feel comfortable with. The children are in a surrounding that is warm and caring, a place where learning is not a chore but rather a fun and positive experience. Because each child is special and unique, we listen to and care about their individual needs. By continuing to focus on the importance of family, your child will thrive and learn in a healthy, safe, and loving environment.

Our unique approach, perfected over fifty years, differs from simple daycare in several important ways. Ours is a child-centered philosophy and respect for the individual is a cornerstone of our approach. We provide individualized curriculum taking into account the fact that every child develops at his or her own pace and children learn through direct experience and active involvement. Self-direction is encouraged. Each child's progress is individually monitored and new task are introduced at the right moment of "readiness" of each child. Frustration is kept to a minimum and learning flourishes in a fun filled environment. Children form a habit of being successful one step at time, building a firm foundation for continued enthusiasm and lifelong quest for knowledge.
