Attended a two-day event here recently and wanted to share a small but meaningful moment that stood…read moreout. At the end of the event, only one restroom near the auditorium was left open. The others had been cleaned and locked since the venue was being prepped for the next day. The lines grew long, and with kids needing to go urgently, I approached one of the custodial staff to ask if any other restrooms were available. That's when I met Ana. She gently explained that everything else was closed but then took it upon herself to help. She contacted someone with the keys, walked all the way to another restroom, opened it up for us, and let in a few others as well. I knew it meant extra work and more cleaning, but she didn't hesitate. When I thanked her, she was so humble and simply said she was glad to help. These 5 stars are for you, Ana! You didn't expect anything in return, and you had no idea I'd write this review. I don't know if it'll ever reach you or make a difference, but this is my way of saying thank you for your quiet act of kindness. It truly meant a lot to us. Such kindness deserves to be appreciated. You're the best, Ana!

We have not had one negative experience & can't say enough nice things about this school. They teach kindness & respect as well as fun & creative lessons. My son loves going & is so happy & proud when I pick him up. They promote healthy eating & are very vigilant with food allergies. The classroom is a very happy, clean, creative, fun, & imaginative place. We enjoy the field trips that siblings are welcome to attend as well. They even spend a Saturday including the dads for a special Father's Day craft. They go above & beyond & I am so thankful my son get to attend this school. My son is currently attending the summer camp that they put on each summer for a week & is having a blast.

Please make sure to thoroughly research this place before sending your child here…read more We enrolled our children at this center with high hopes, but our experience was deeply concerning and ultimately disappointing. On our second day, our child sustained injuries (by a teacher) during a transition to outdoor play. According to the incident report and findings posted on Michigan's Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) website, a staff member lifted our child by one arm, resulting in a dislocated elbow. When the child fell, they were dragged by the ankle toward the door. This incident was formally documented and substantiated by state regulators. We also encountered issues with transparency and communication. Despite available space in the GSRP program, our application was ignored without explanation. At the same time, the center was actively promoting the program on social media and encouraging others to apply. Classroom ratios were another major concern. In the Infant 2 room, we personally observed up to seven children assigned to one teacher--well above the state-mandated 4:1 ratio. Although this was reported to the state, and temporarily addressed, the issue returned within weeks. We received multiple calls stating our child had a fever as high as 104°F. However, upon immediate arrival, we often found our child active and well. After bringing our own thermometer, we rarely confirmed a fever. This raised concerns about whether these calls were being used to reduce classroom numbers during staffing shortages. We also observed a pattern of retaliation after raising concerns. For example, our child received a write-up for questionable reasons. We witnessed management speaking harshly to both children and staff, at times causing staff members to become visibly upset. In one instance, our child was threatened by another student with violent language. Despite the center's stated zero-tolerance policy, the response was dismissive. We were left feeling that disciplinary standards were not applied consistently. Adding to our concern, we noticed that at least three of the five-star reviews on Google appear to have been written by current or former staff members. This raises questions about the accuracy of the center's overall rating and public image. We stayed longer than we should have, largely because of several wonderful teachers who truly cared about the children. Sadly, even those educators have begun to leave. The center does have potential, but meaningful change is needed--both at the local management level and within district leadership. We would like to return in the future, but only if that change occurs.

I'm looking for a Montessori school that goes beyond kinder like a lot do in this area. I called to get information about the school and to set a tour. I asked if they offer any financial aid for the 15k tuition and the Business Director Denise literally scoffed and snorted as if she was personally offended "Financial Aid?!? Financial Aid?? Our parents don't need Financial Aid!" She said this in the midst incredulous tone as if I'd personally offended her. She was so nasty that I cancelled my tour right away. I wouldn't send my child here with the risk of being ostracized or treated differently because I simply inquired about Financial Aid. If a school doesn't offer tuition assistance, fine but at least pretend that your school philosophy isn't to look down on those who ask.
