Rapid City's Best Childhood Development Center

Our Philosophy

At Imagination Station we strive to encourage a love for learning while also developing readiness skills and promoting family involvement in the learning process. The first five years of a child’s life are vital to this process. During these years, the emotions a child feels, along with what a child hears, sees and experiences are ingredients for strong brain development.

Throughout these very important years, we as caregivers are provided with the unique opportunity to impact a child’s future education. With an understanding of how children learn, we can expand the opportunities we offer to our children to acquire knowledge and understand concepts. We work with the family to monitor the developmental milestones of all children in our care so we can best prepare them for Kindergarten. When the content of the curriculum is taught with the child’s developmental stage in mind, the child is more likely to be a successful learner who will feel excited about and challenged by what they are learning. We believe that children thrive on using their imaginations, are creative in their thinking and learn best through hands-on activities.

As our name suggests, we believe that enhancing a child’s imagination provides them with the key to experiencing the world around them. Children learn through discovery and exploration; therefore, what better way to discover the world than to explore it with our imaginations.

When your child joins our center, you become family.

My daughter attended Imagination Station from the time she was 7 weeks through 3 years, when I moved away. Not only was the staff beyond amazing, but they treated us like family. I took comfort in knowing she was always safe and very, VERY loved!!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better support system or loving, caring and AMAZING staff and owner. I’m so thankful that they shaped my little girl in her years there and couldn’t have asked for a better center and am so very thankful for all they did for my daughter and my family!!!!

I worked at this daycare for 5 years. I started here not knowing much about children and not really wanting any of my own. Over the course of working here, I bonded with the children and their families in ways I never would have anticipated, and the staff here became the most important and stable part of my college career.
The families that entrust their children to Imaginations Station are often multi-generational and recommend it to their own immediate family. I was able to experience working with cousins, siblings, and family friend situations. I loved the community aspect that was part of every corner of Imagination Station. I went to birthdays, baby showers, weddings, and any other manner of family events, simply because I was part of the tribe raising the children.
If you want your kids to become part of an even bigger family, this is the place for you. They will love your children, defend your children, and work for your children in every way they are able to. They will become your family.

We have been going here for seven years! we love them and can't imagine going anywhere else! They're always so caring to the kids and the parents. Because of their amazing preschool my kiddo was very prepared for kindergarten! They're are very creative and make learning fun! Love them so much!

My son has been at Imagination Station for 5 years now. The staff and the owner have become a second family to us. They love our son like their own and provide him with a safe, nurturing, and educational environment. He has learned so much there and loves going each day. I can't say enough good things about these amazing women!

My twins went here for 4+ years! They were so well cared for the entire time! I never once doubted the care my infants/toddlers received! They truly loved my kids as their own and I felt like family! We were so sad when we moved, no one has even come close in comparison!

This is an amazing place to send your children. Knowledgeable and caring staff, lots if interactive learning for children. I felt like my children were safe and well cared for. I sent my children there for approximately 8 years, as a day care, preschool and before and after school care. Not sure what the one negative review is about...I never had any issues at tax time or any account issues.

Me and my girls LOVED this daycare. They Were always excited to go and loved all the staff members and kids. Never had a bad experience. And was sad to leave the daycare when we moved.

The staff is so knowledgeable and personable. Both of my boys went there and loved going every day. My youngest spiked a fever and they knew exactly who to call and what to do when he went into a seizure. Very great staff. Still friends with all of them to this day!!!!

The owner and staff of this daycare/preschool are amazing people and caregivers. I've personally witnessed how they go above and beyond for their children and families. A wonderful place for your children to spend time, learn skills, and interact with others.

This daycare is full of such caring wonderful people. The kids are so will taken care of. You can tell that the staff truly loves each and every child in their care. They go above and beyond.

My children have been going here for years! Best daycare in the area. Always keeping my kiddos busy. Very compassionate and caring

The staff is absolutely amazing. I can not Express just how much my boys loved going there every day. My kids still talk about missing the staff. I would reccomend them 100%.

Both my boys attend this daycare and we couldn’t ask for better place to leave our kids! The ladies that work there are amazing and I know that my boys are always well taken care of!

It has been some time since my children went here but they gave my children the best care and are part of our lives still today.

As a first time Mom sending my child to daycare I was really nervous. When we toured the place I was so impressed and comforted by how personable, knowledgeable and thorough Sammi was when answering our questions. To add to my comfort, almost all the staff there has their own children who attend (including the owners!) so you know they all have a stake in making sure the place is a great environment. I could go on forever but I have nothing but great things to say. Thank you so much to everyone there for making this Mom feel so great about leaving her son there every day and for providing my son with the place he needed to grow and thrive.

I toured a handful of daycares when I was pregnant with my son, and was so anxious everywhere, but Imagination Station. The minute I toured, I knew my son had to go there. Nearly 5 years later, not only do I stand by my choice to come to Imagination Station, but have learned to love all the care givers, the atmospheres, and the relationships I now have.
