My 4-year-old son attended Morgan's Early Learning Center for almost 3 years and it's always been a…read morepositive experience. Recently, I made the unfortunate decision at the start of the 2019-2020 preschool year to try out Stepanski Early Childhood Center across the street. I cannot tell you what a huge mistake I made by doing that. I qualified for the Oakland County's GSRP state-funded program based out of Stepanski, so free tuition. At Morgan's full tuition was paid. Like the other reviewer mentioned, sometimes you get exactly what you pay for when it's free or low-cost. (If you're interested in seeing photos of what can happen there, feel free to shoot me a private message. Posted my photos to Google believe they were flagged + my review was taken down.) Why the switch? Over the summer of 2019 Morgan's informed parents they were being bought out by another company. The timing was 'ideal' to try a new center. We all know how some corporate takeovers go...potential policy changes, staff turnover, and suchlike. My son was also set to transition into the preschool-level classroom there at the start of Fall 2019 *and* there was potential to save money at Stepanski. Everyone can stand to save a little more money, right? Well, not at the physical expense of your child. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. And no, I did not just stutter. ESPECIALLY if you have court / judgment-issued custody parameters that are not cut + dried (if you're divorcing, factor this in BIG TIME) and the potential of court officials who think your concerns do not hold water and your ex trapped you by design. 2 months of negative experiences at Stepanski will be ignored + trump nearly 3 years positive experience at Morgan's (or another center of your choosing). It makes no sense to me, but BE WARNED if you're in a similar situation. Let my mistake be your lesson. If you're the type of parent to freely invest in your child and are not a if-it's-free-it's-for-me individual, make that investment at Morgan's. The location on Hatchery Rd + Airport Rd should be on you daycare / child care center research list if you live in Waterford Township or nearby in Clarkston, Michigan. I have never felt that my son was in danger at Morgan's (and I am *always* on high-alert). You always get a heads up phone call if something has happened that they think you should know about or seems off (not some surprise on a piece of paper and on your kids' person at the end of the day). If you are running extra late, haven't called, and your child has not shown up by 10AM, they will reach out to you (gotta love a sincere welfare check). They also don't default to lazy app messaging use. But if one were used, I am sure Morgan's would be sensitive to how they should use them + triage the messaging accordingly. Staff make an effort to connect + know your name. I don't know if they are trained to say, "Hello!" or "Have a great day!" when passing parents in the hallway or upon leaving as a condition of employment, but it's always a bright and cheery scene 95% of the time. AMENITIES: They have a large outdoor play space that is sectioned off for younger kids and older kids with plenty of space to roam, summer Splash Days, book fundraisers, pizza day, holiday party days, IdentiKid events + picture day. The classrooms are spacious, clean, and well-stocked with toys and educational items. You often see staff actively cleaning, too. But daycare is daycare and germs are germs - it's part of the territory. They "make" you store nap items in giant Ziplocs. Not like the Bad Place across the street that must throw them in a heap and hand them back to you loose at some point down the road. Morgan's allows you to customize scheduling within reason or availability: 1/2 days, p/t + f/t weeks. One area where Morgan's can use some work: their marketing. The 2000's-looking website and Facebook activity could use an upgrade and focused content creation plan (here's looking at you Corporate Takeover Company). One thing I don't think they are doing a good job at is letting everyone know how good they are + how much they offer. Maybe move onto Instagram, too (I know that I am barely on FB anymore). Being more active with posting holiday 'we're open / closed' notice updates and text or email reminders for events. I once showed up when they were legit closed. I recently asked about the type of "curriculum" they use (not that it's a bad one, my kid learned A LOT there), but knowing that a structured one is available is a sure vote of confidence for a prospective parent. Be advised that there are chunky late fees if you don't pay your tuition by [every] Weds (even if you get paid on Thursday or Friday that same week), so plan accordingly. Also, timely pickups are incentivized by a $4 per minute late pickup fee. Understandable, people want to go the 'H' home and the company needs to offset O/T. Sadly, I will not see my son graduate from Morgan's, but you sure can if you enroll your kid.

It's very quickly you realize after that it's not going to be the case. Don't send your child here unless you want to be nit-picked to death. Our FIRST problem started with a stye my son got on his eye and she made me bother the doctor for 3 doctors notes for, all saying the exact same thing with different wording, she just likes to make you jump thru hoops for her own fun. Next was my son not being fond of the taste of her tap water, and us making a simple request to send him with bottled water instead to which she told us we would then no longer get all of our snacks and meals included (which we pay for in the HEFTY monthly tuition) over WATER. I'm sorry for wanting to make sure our child is hydrated. You will be bombarded by emails miles long. She likes her "rules" one of those being not to take "too long" to say goodbye to your child. And by her standards in and out in her own "5 minutes time" simply is still too much time. Even tho you have a list of things they expect you as the parent to do before you may leave, answer 10 covid questions, temperature check, wash hands, take off coat but don't dare take a minute to say goodbye to your emotional 4 year old before you leave for the day. Apparently coming from a loving home is a punishment. That was our final straw. Oh and enjoy constantly having her throw up removing you for any and every LITTLE thing. This woman makes mountains out of mole hills. I'm convinced she only wants to keep security deposits and that's why she literally makes you want to leave the place. On our last day she ran down former employees making insane accusations about them. She ran down past parents (to which I'm sure we have joined the club) and set me up to "feel bad for her" so that I would be quiet and let go a situation that should've never happened in the first place. don't even get me started on how she kept our belongings for two weeks after we left instead of giving them to us on our last day. Again making you jump through the most absurd hoops. So parents beware. She is short staffed, and seems to be running a day care not a preschool since her toddler teacher has now left. So glad to be off this roller coaster and in a much kinder, considerate and compassionate place!

Rebecca's Learning Center (RLC) was a distasteful experience for me. One of the early red flags was…read morethe fact that, even though the parking is limited, there is a strict 10 minute drop off allowance. If you miss your assigned window, you were instructed to call RLC and you were given a new drop-off time frame after everyone else, which could be over an hour later. I have a 3 year old, who may not be as cooperative in the morning as an adult, and I work in the hospital setting; I can't be late... this was very stressful! Interaction with the owner Becky, also caused heightened stress. I felt I was always walking on eggshells with her and knew I had to agree with all new policies and procedures or my child would be removed. I felt as if I could never even engage in an open dialogue regarding any concern or issue. This included, when the staff wrongly communicated Michigan State law regarding children and their course of antibiotics. Another glaring red flag was/is the overall health policy that requires an absolute 24-hour symptom free child. Any little sneeze or cough required the child to be excluded from RLC; we are talking about toddlers and young children. More than once, we were instructed to pick our child up due to sniffles that had suddenly developed within the first hour of arrival at RLC. I expressed concern regarding the upcoming allergy season as my child suffers from seasonal allergies. During our time at RLC, there were many blatant red flags, I could go on for pages. The bombardment of paperwork that required initialing and or an email response indicating comprehension and agreement, was never ending. As a working parent, in all honesty, I did not have time to thoroughly read and question each new rule. I needed daycare for my child. There appears to me to be an underlying hostile interconnection with parents. In addition to the massive late night, chaotic emails which required careful reading and investigation to determine the actual purpose, our child was dismissed without cause hours before we expected RLC to provide daycare. There was no phone call from Becky. We were instructed to communicate through the attorney and not expect our personal property to be returned to us for 2 weeks, again through the attorney. My experience makes me wonder, if Rebecca's Learning Center is truly the caring, award winning environment it proclaims to be, shouldn't that carry over to parent relationships as well? I would stay far away from this daycare/preschool, this stress was overwhelming.

After having a less than great time with another daycare down the road, we moved both of our sons here. They were 1.5 and 3 at the time, and have since stayed on for another 3 years. We have continually had amazing teachers who work incredibly hard to give 1:1 attention to kids that have different personalities, learning styles, and education levels. There are separate rooms for all different age groups, and they are constantly refreshing stations and activities while staying core to a rigorous and well-researched curriculum. The teachers keep track of the progress of each kid not just personally but through a digital tool that makes for some really productive parent teacher conferences twice a year. I feel spoiled. They love volunteers. They encourage parent feedback. They do science and art and reading and fun summer activities. They aren't just good, they are constantly looking for ways to improve, stay close to parents, keep the staff happy, and the kids excelling. They have flexible plans for payment and even shuttle before and after care to the local elementaries. Did I mention Parent's Night Out once a month, where they take your kids for a few extra hours so you can get a date night, while your kids watch movies in pajamas? Group trips to the local apple orchard? Breakfast with Santa? Water fun days in the summer? Ongoing classroom science experiments? I don't even know how to capture all the amazing in one review.
