  • We love Red Balloon Child Care! Both of our daughters attend and we couldn't ask for a more caring and supportive place for them to be. The teachers genuinely love the kids, and it shows how much they care about helping them learn and grow. Knowing our girls tell us they want to go to daycare and feel safe, happy, and well cared for by the staff is amazing and would recommend Red Balloon to any family looking for quality childcare.

  • I cannot recommend Red Balloon enough. We started taking our daughter here a little over a month ago. It was my first time leaving my daughter at a daycare and I was so nervous about how she would do. As any parent knows, it’s so hard leaving your child somewhere unknown. But seeing how well the staff did with her and how much they cared made it so much easier. I was amazing at the skills and abilities she had learned even just from a few weeks of being here. She runs to the staff when I drop her off now and I can tell how comfortable she is here. It’s also amazing to see how much the other older kids there love the staff, especially when they see Jenny! If you’re a first time parent worried about starting daycare, please check out Red Balloon and I’m sure you’ll fall in love even from the first walk through like I did.

  • I cannot say enough incredible things about Kari at Red Balloon Childcare. From the very beginning, she has shown a level of care, patience, and genuine love that goes far beyond what anyone could ever hope for in a teacher. Kari is truly the only person I have ever trusted — and will ever trust — with my child. As a parent, that kind of trust doesn’t come easily, and it isn’t given lightly. She has earned it completely through her consistency, warmth, attentiveness, and the deep bond she has built with my toddler. She treats every child as if they were her own, creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where they feel seen, valued, and loved. My child absolutely adores her, and I see firsthand how much confidence, happiness, and growth Kari brings out every single day. Knowing my child is with Kari gives me total peace of mind — something every parent hopes for but rarely finds. She is not just an exceptional teacher; she is a rare, special soul who makes a lifelong impact on the families she touches. Red Balloon Childcare is incredibly lucky to have her, and we are endlessly grateful. Kari is truly one of a kind. ❤️

  • I can’t say enough great things about Red Balloon! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by the most amazing staff who truly care about the kids and families they serve. Everyone is friendly, patient, and incredibly attentive. You can tell they genuinely love what they do. The management team is just as impressive — organized, supportive, and always going above and beyond to create a positive, safe, and nurturing environment. It’s clear that strong leadership sets the tone for the entire center. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be cared for by dedicated, compassionate professionals, Red Balloon in Becker is absolutely the best choice. Highly recommend!

  • Red Balloon Daycare is a warm and welcoming place to care for your children. The staff there is amazing! I know Amy Parker personally and her attention to detail in every aspect of her job is second to none. Very attentive and caring to not only the kids in her classroom, but all the kids in the center! 5 stars!

  • Red Balloon Daycare is an amazing place for children to learn and grow. The environment is warm, welcoming, and full of care. The staff truly love what they do, and it shows in the way they interact with the kids each day. Amy is a wonderful example of the quality caregivers at Red Balloon—she is incredibly attentive, gentle, and seems to genuinely care about each child. She creates a safe, nurturing, and happy environment that gives parents real peace of mind. Red Balloon is lucky to have someone like Amy—she makes a lasting, positive impact on both the children and families she works with.
