She built deep relationships with each teacher, every year- and they always treated her with love and respect. The leadership shines here with communication and availability- I don't know if they ever take a day off! We toured multiple daycares in the area and felt very confident that Tender Years was the best environment we could find for our little one- and that continued to prove to be the case every year. Our daughter has thrived and learned so much during her time here and I highly recommend Tender Years.

She has a unique way of making complex subjects accessible, which has led to incredible growth in my child's learning. In just two months, my child has mastered 22 sight words, learned basic math concepts, and even started picking up sentences and greetings in other languages! Her patience, creativity and genuine love for children are evident in everything she does. We are incredibly grateful for her positive impact in my kiddo's development and consider ourselves fortunate to have her as a teacher. Tender Years is truly lucky to have her!

They do arts and crafts, holiday projects, alphabet projects, structured learning, trivia day where the kids bring in their own trivia questions to try and stump their friends (and Ms. Diane) show and tell and play time. They learn these super cute songs (Hickety Pickety Bumblebee is one of our favorites). Also breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack for the kids is provided. They do letter of the week and also work with the younger kids with "word of the week" about how to spell common words we use everyday such as; the, am, I, see, they, have, play, and a lot more! My little one loves when her homework book comes home. She gets excited about telling me what word she has learned and what color she needs to be writing in her book to complete her assignment. The family that runs Home Away From Home are so incredibly nice and extremely qualified for the job. A whole portion of their house is dedicated to the daycare with bright fun colors on the walls, plenty of room for fun, games, and learning, lots of toys, and a big fenced in yard. They even have a toddler sized bathroom toilet that is low enough for my 3 year old to use on her own (which is making the process/transition of potty training extremely easy at home) and a small step stool is provided so she can reach the nobs of the sink. Since starting my daughter at HAFH almost a year ago, my little one has become extremely independent, curious and knowledgeable about her surroundings, she even started speaking more and more clearly while putting more and more words together in sentences. Attending this daycare has expanded her vocabulary and sentence structure beyond what I thought a 3 year old would be able to comprehend. The best part of my day is talking with my daughter while I make her dinner and she tells me everyone that she played with, all the things she did and learned, and how excited she is to go back the following day to see everyone again and have another fun learning adventure. This is such a wonderful place. I wouldn't want to send Squirt anywhere else.

I absolutely love this daycare. The director and staff are very involved and it's great to see the…read morestaff actually care not just for my children but about them. The down side is they have a large turn around rate which is why I gave 4 stars, but then again working with kids isn't for everyone.

I know this is long, but if you are looking for childcare for your children I would take the time…read moreto read it. Our boys were enrolled in Best Friends for three weeks and I am beyond relieved to have them removed and in another daycare. Prior to becoming an educator, I worked in an excellent childcare facility for ten years. I believe that a parent who has no experience in childcare may not notice issues or know any better, or may think some things are "normal" that are not. First, let me start by speaking to what I feel is the integrity of the child care director. After reading on their website that they have been given five stars in Great Start to Quality, and are the "highest ranked" program in Oakland County, I looked them up on the site to find they do not have any stars. After contacting GSTQ to ask why, I found that her in home daycare had been given five stars but her center has not been rated yet. Using her in home rating in order to get more parents into her child care center, which is currently not rated, is dishonest. They updated their site to state they were in their new location so certainly they could have edited the information about their star rating at the same time. If you browse the Google reviews of this childcare facility, you will see that, in response to a poor review, the director Tori violates parent/caregiver privacy by publicly stating discipline issues with the parent's child. This is highly unprofessional and demonstrates a lack of respect for the privacy of past clients. Publicly sharing discipline issues also violates FERPA which i believe extends to state licensed child care facilities. I would expect a professional to remain respectful of a child's privacy even when they receive a negative review, particularly on a public forum. The program director, Tori, is expected to facilitate learning for young people, particularly those in early literacy. However, when students are doing activities with directions on the white board, words are often misspelled and in speaking, poor grammar skills are used. This is an issue in parent communications as well, which concerns me when my children are learning how to speak properly from the adults they are around all day. In our three weeks at the facility, the daycare closed on several occasions. Two were the result of snow days, which I understood completely. However, two were due to it being cold outside. The director stated that the building furnace was unable to keep the building warm. This is not a weather issue, it is a building issue that needs to be remedied as we live in Michigan and it gets cold. However, she still charged parents for those days as if it were a weather issue or "act of god." Parents still have to work when it is cold, so buildings need to be capable of staying warm. If the building can not stay warm then the onus should fall on the director to bear the financial responsibility of closing. The infant room, where my two year old was, was very damp and smelled strongly of something like wet paint. Every day at pickup the smell would hit me as soon as I opened the door to that room. Also, I was told that they would assist my son in potty training by taking him to the bathroom every 15 minutes. This did not happen. My four year old was in the big kids room. The activities seemed developmentally appropriate for the younger kids; however I told them when we registered that my son was working on reading and kindergarten prep. They told me they would work with him and instead had him doing activities that were not scaffolded to his current ability level and were therefore too easy. The culmination of our frustration was in our final week there, when I arrived to find my son and another child standing in separate corners facing the wall, with their backs to their peers, apparently because they were not cleaning up. This consequence is not only archaic but also highly inappropriate. It shames the child, confines them and excludes them from the learning activities being completed. It is punishment, not a consequence, and I would expect individuals who are trained in child development to know how incredibly inappropriate this is. We began looking for new childcare immediately when this happened, but then were given a termination notice without reason. This, again, demonstrates the lack of professionalism of the owner, as a good program director would sit down with a parent to explain their reasoning. They would not just leave an envelope up front and hide from the parent at pickup. When I asked via email for her reason, she deflected and would not provide one. I suspect that her reason has to do with the fact that I know enough about daycare to know that they are not good at their jobs, whereas a typical parent may not know any better. I was fine with the termination as we were leaving anyway, but the lack of professionalism in how it was done is very unfortunate and indicative of how this facility is run.

My experience with tori was very stressful. I was going through a divorce and at the time my ex and…read moreI used tori as childcare. Ms. Tori was very biased towards my ex wife that, although my ex wife registered my son I, his legal/biological father am supposed to have full access to any and everything that is relative to my child. Ms. Tori refused me access to these documents stating that they belonged to my ex wife. I was consulting an attorney about this behavior by Ms. Tori and only because I snapped on this lady during pick up of my child, she covered herself by deleting/kicking my child out of her daycare. If I could give Ms. Tori negative numbers I would. VERY BIASED AND VERY ARROGANT. I just wanted to make sure people know what and who they're dealing with when you select this business.

When we had a broken leg (cast to the hip) and needed extra help some stepped up and went the "extra mile" so to speak, to help out with getting her in and in her wheelchair or help with getting them out to the car when it was time to go home as well. It's hard to get a small baby and a 3 yr old in the car at the same time when the 3 yr old can't walk and the 4yr old can't carry either of them. They also patiently worked with me when it come down to me just needing a little time while I got financial assistance. I do recommend Cura Bella and the staff because they'll take the time to be there for your child and keep the parent(s) updated as well.
