    The Down River Youth Performing Arts Center is a very nice venue. The lobby is well appointed and…read morepleasant to be in. The theater is a perfect size. It provides the theatrical experience as well as enabling a close connection between the audience and the performers. The equipment is in good condition and the theater itself is attractive and interesting. I enjoyed the masks that were contained in wall cabinets around the theater. When going to this theatre take some consideration for parking. It is in a mixed residential and commercial area. There is some parking in the commercial area but you may find it more convenient to park in the neighborhood. It is an easy walk to the theater from throughout the area. I enjoyed a performance of Willy Wonka. The sound system was very good. The lighting was a pleasure. All in all it was an enjoyable evening and I am looking forward to the next event at the Down River Youth Performing Arts Center.

    Just signed up for our first run at youth performing theatre. So far, the instructors are very…read morepatient, the front desk is organized, and the classes are not overfilled. I was very happy to see that the bathrooms are very well kept, especially with so many children running around. This theatre offers children's performing arts classes starting at 8/9 am until 4pm with a lunch break. The price is a little bit more then I expected, but the course runs for 6 weeks. I paid $185 for two 45 minute classes. At the end, the children perform their play on stage. Check out their website for both children's and adult performances and audition dates. It is a really cool environment for kids.

    I have taken my kids to the Gross Ile Campus for the better part of their entire lives thus far and…read moreit's been a positive experience for us (almost) all around. The facility, though this is shared with a church, is very clean and secure. A proxy card is provided to get you and your kids inside the building. There are four rooms that vary by age and quite a few workers to make sure there is a good ratio. The teachers sweat, cry, and bleed for these kids. As far as I can tell, they care as much for the kids they watch over as much as we do as parents - and THAT is a big deal. These people are incredible teachers, mentors, and friends to our kids. At 2 years old, my kids know the alphabet, their colors, and how to count to 20-ish (they mumble and skip sometimes, but the knowledge is in there!) and I believe they will be supremely prepared for school (whether it's public, private, or home): and it's the teachers' doing. I love these ladies and we feel so blessed to have them in or lives - I can't say enough good things about them. So: clean, safe, and a wonderfully loving and educational environment - what's the catch? Communication issues aren't constant, but every organization has them, and some of the times we are the culprit, but it's obviously not a dealbreaker. I would highly recommend this place for any kids. I can't wait to see what their education will look like because of Montessori's head start.

    Our 3 year daughter was enrolled at this Montessori school for a total of 35 minutes (yes, 35…read moreminutes), as we received a phone call on her 1st day to pick her up within 25 minutes of her arriving because she was throwing blocks. When my husband quickly arrived 10 minutes later (at that time our daughter was sitting in the circle next to the teacher), the assistant director handed her belongings to my husband and said she could not come back. We tried SEVERAL times throughout the day to contact the school to speak to Marie, the owner, to simply have a conversation, with NO response. Later in the day, our neighbor came to our front door with a letter in their mailbox stating it had our name on it. The owner dropped off a letter, including our daughter's medical records they had collected (ummm HIPPA?), and our returned deposit/tuition......TO THE WRONG ADDRESS. Marie was unable to have a simple and professional conversation, return our phone calls and decided on her own it was acceptable to just leave a letter/medical records/check in the WRONG mailbox with no phone call. This is completely unprofessional and un-excusable. My brother and I both went to a Montessori school growing up and had an amazing experience, which is even more reason to be thrilled to have one close by after our 4th child was born. This has COMPLETELY destroyed my (and my entire family's) taste of Montessori and everything they stand for. If they can give a 3 year old 25 minutes of their time to tell the parents their child can't come back, just think of the lack of patience, disrespect and judgement they will give your own child. And then to not return phone calls from a concerned parent? This is NOT acceptable behavior from an establishment that is to care for YOUR CHILD. My husband and I were both raised Downriver, we currently have 4 children (our 3 year old being our youngest), and know many generations of families here, particularly families with children. We will be giving our honest opinion to every single friend or acquaintance who asks us about our experience, because every parent and EVERY CHILD DESERVES BETTER. To every other parent reading this, please use our mistake to choose better for your child.....do your research and read these reviews. We need to be advocates for our children, and establishments like this NEED to be held accountable for their complete lack of care, communication, patience and compassion. Lastly, if Marie comments on this "negative" (but 100% honest and true) review, it will prove that she cares more about her image than contacting a parent directly to have a conversation about their child. Do better parents!
