Worst daycare ever. Thank god that they had cameras for me to watch, because if I didn't, my…read moredaughter, who's 3, would have stayed there and I would have hated myself for it. Long story short, My daughter was not given any attention even though she was new, the teacher was giving things for all the other kids but not my daughter. Another thing is that they were all getting ready for naps and my daughter almost slept on someone else's bed sheet instead of the one that I sent with her all because they didn't know which backpack was my daughters. For kids that age, all the kids' baba should be labeled for which child is each bag for. The room was kept messy and disgusting and was not organized at all. The whole place was so blunt and boring, it didn't even look like a kids place. So glad I found a better place for my kids. If you want a good place to go to, take your kids to The Learning Experience! Amazing and such a cute place!!

A little back story: My 1.5 year old daughter started at…read moreABC'S & 123'S exactly 1 month ago. Prior to this daycare, she had been to 2 other in home daycares with other children, and there were never ANY issues. For the most part, my daughter is pretty good and well mannered as much as a 1.5 year old can be. She's used to being with other people, at different homes, and she has never shown any signs of separation anxiety, missing me, etc. When we started at ABC'S & 123'S, there was an initial 2 week "trial period" to make sure the child is a good fit and thriving in the environment. Makes sense-totally understandable. In these last 4 weeks that my daughter has been enrolled in Linda's daycare, there were zero conversations had about my daughters behavior, no inclination that there had been any issues, nothing. I was under the impression that things were going smoothly. In fact, I received texts from Linda in the beginning of May stating VERBATIM 'she's a happy little girl' and 'all was great today, we have no concerns.' Fast forward to yesterday. I picked my daughter up from one of Linda's workers, Kathy, and instantaneously noticed red marks on my daughter's face and neck. Literally any person who has eyes would be able to notice them right away. Thinking that it might just be food, markers etc., and also being on the phone at the time, I didn't say anything to Kathy at pick up, however, once we got home, I noticed that my daughter had CUTS and SCRATCHES, some that even DREW BLOOD on her neck, chin, arm, and face. I immediately reached out to Linda and asked what happened, and she advised me that HER NOR KATHY knew what had happened, nor did they EVEN NOTICE THE MARKS ON HER. I'M SORRY- WHAT?! My daughter has distinct fingernail marks in her neck and arm and you're telling me you HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED? HOW?! THIS IS LITERALLY YOUR ONLY JOB!!!! After taking ZERO accountability, not even an apology, we hang up, and about an hour later, she sends me a text message stating that my daughter has been, and I quote, 'struggling to join comfortably into our program' and 'we feel it is in her best interest to discontinue enrollment into the program.' She then had the audacity to tell me that all of my daughters belongings will be outside ON HER PORCH for me to come pick it up!!!!!! She has since been unresponsive. This is not the only concern I've had with Linda's daycare. Just last week, I picked my daughter up from daycare, and shortly after, she started dry heaving and throwing up water/clear liquid in the car. NOTHING else came up besides water/clear liquid!! My daughter had ZERO food in her stomach!! NOTHING!! Hence the highly likely reason as to why she threw up in the first place!!!! When I reached out to Linda regarding if my daughter had eaten, she claimed that she had....OK. Then it wasn't enough. My daughter was so hungry, and I have never seen a 1.5 year old eat fast enough. Based on these 2 situations, I feel that either a) Linda and Kathy are not being forthcoming and honest about what is actually going on, OR b) Linda and her staff are not being as attentive to some of the younger children, and they are suffering because of it. Everyone really needs to be cautious when selecting a daycare, especially when your child cannot speak. The way Linda handled our situation was despicable and inhumane. My daughter and I have never been treated so poorly. For someone that prides themselves in being one of the only "5 star daycares" in Macomb, you'd think they'd treat us with a little more respect and care, but we did not receive that. Update: I texted Linda today, 5/24, to collect my daughter's belongings, and she sent me a text saying, 'it's on the sidewalk.' I get there, and she put my DAUGHTER'S STUFF IN THE ROAD!!!!!!

I wish I could give Linda more than five stars because she truly is the best. My two daughters went…read moreto Linda for four years and we could not have possibly had a better experience. Linda is consistently reliable, professional, kind, and an excellent communicator. We never had ANY kind of issue with Linda over the years and we feel truly fortunate to have found her wonderful daycare. I notice there's one very horrible one-star review on here that is clearly from a disgruntled mother. That review is outrageously ridiculous and entirely one-sided. It's difficult to even read through the review, knowing it lacks truth. It hurts my heart because Linda does NOT deserve these horrible things to be said about her. I strongly encourage anyone considering using Linda to speak with any of her long-term customers (parents) to get a true understanding of what to expect from her. Linda has dedicated 29 years of her life to providing exceptional care for children and I recommend her without hesitation.

We were initially excited to get our daughter back into a Montessori setting. Upon enrollment the…read moreschool tried to overcharge us on the tuition rate. I'm not sure why they would do that. We saw the amount of the tuition multiple times. They asked us to wait as they printed us a new paper with multiple errors and wrote a higher tuition amount. We almost agreed to it because our daughter is sad at her current school. But we gave the thought some more time and consideration. We spoke to the staff and they said they would adjust their information by end of March/April to reflect the new amount. We gave them a few months to update their info because something felt slightly off. It looks like they selected us to be the family to get overcharged.

I have two daughters that attend Montessori since they were infants. The oldest is now 7. This…read moreschool is amazing and the teachers really care about all of them. Small class sizes and immersive learning styles teach them how to be engaged in what they are doing. We recently were able to sit in on a class for an hour and it's so cute seeing them all get to work on projects that they decide to do and having a snack when they want to. The are very independent while getting valuable lessons. The style in which they teach reading and math has my oldest daughter reading in a much higher level and even doing multiplication and division. They still teach cursive which I believe is a fundamental lesson that is being lost in other places. The children are so much more independent and really show care and compassion towards their fellow classmates.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shelby University! I am so incredibly grateful that I…read morefound this daycare over five years ago. They say it takes a village to raise children and I feel extremely lucky to have Shelby U be a part of my village. They have become family to us! My son started coming here when he was 6 months old and is now in elementary school. He loves going back to the school age room during breaks to see his old teachers and friends. In fact, he ALWAYS begs me to attend extra days! My daughter is two and loves coming here. The teachers take great care of the kids. I drop my children off knowing that they are in wonderful care. The Owner, Kim and Director, April are very helpful, involved and always go above and beyond! The teachers are interactive and have great activities planned for the kids. The playground and gym have fun toys that the kids enjoy! My kids enjoy all the meals and snacks that are served. The whole facility is kept exceptionally clean. If you are looking for a daycare to take excellent care of your kids, I would suggest checking out Shelby University! :)

The teachers are all amazing, the activities/interaction are exactly what the kids want and need, the menus are perfect and it's being ran by the exact people you'd want running a business that has the children and their parents put first. Any negative reviews on this place just seem confusing to me. Makes me think that the people leaving them are the same ones who will never be able to be pleased regardless of any scenario. We're keeping our kids in this place as long as we can. I feel like it's the right place for them and feel that the negative reviews on this place should be overlooked. Bad news travels faster than good news which is wrong on many levels in the world on the internet we're in. The good people of Shelby University should not be judged off 2 "Karen's".

Although, there were some advantages to Childtime, like an app that allowed you to get real time updates (like baby connect), we have found the staff and particularly the administration to be far superior at NT Kindercare. We enjoy the staff so much we actually use one of his teachers as a babysitter. Also, the administration does a great job at communicating with parent, whether it be staff changes, safety notices, and simple requests. My wife and I went all the local child care places in the area and NT Kindercare stand above all of them, in our humble opinion.

The teachers and staff didn't just watch our girls. They knew them, loved them, and treated them like their own. You can't fake that kind of care, and when you're dropping your babies off every morning, it means everything. What really stood out to us was that the teachers and staff were always open to talk. Every day we could find out how our girls' days went, what they were up to, even how they behaved -- nothing was ever off limits. A lot of places feel like a black box once you drop your kids off, but never here. We always felt like we were truly part of our daughters' day even when we couldn't be there. We never once had to worry, because we knew our girls were loved, cared for, and that we were kept in the loop every step of the way. This place truly became family to us. Thank you Rebecca and team!
