The program is very reasonable IF you don't need extra hours (regular hours are only 10-4). After extra hours and add on extracurriculars for 2 kids, I end up spending about $2400 for 7 weeks. Meals are not provided. Kids are split into age appropriate groups. Sports and other activities are offered.

PLEASE DO YOUR SELF AND YOUR CHILD A FAVOR AND DON NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS PLACE…read more My daughter attended pre-k for a total of 7-8months and it was the worst decision I could've ever made in my entire life, she was physically hurt, by other students multiple times, which I understand kids are going to be kids, but my issue was the adults "in charge" did not do anything to address the BULLYING that happened on a daily basis, the aggression was outrageous and not handled properly by the teachers or director Amber. She was also yelled at very aggressively by a grown man, the teacher assistant Mr.Joey on her second day, mind you she was 3 going on 4 at the time and it was her first time being away from her parents, HE needs to be fired and investigated because he's a very aggressive person, i witnessed him yelling at kids and I also saw him on the cameras pulling kids by the arm he should NOT be around kids, I let this incident go and try to give the school a second change, but things got worst, they change teachers about 3 times or more, there's no structure, the kids are out of control, there's VERY poor sanitation, expect your kid to be sick on the daily basis, because THEY DO NOT CARE TO KEEP A CLEAN SANITIZE AREA for the kids. NOW, the school director Amber Wussow DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, she's very under qualify, all of our incidents were reported to her (which I hope she still have them on file) And she was no help, the most we got from her was a "Sorry". I truly hope someone higher up reads this and does something about the school and the school staff. It's very sad that parents are leaving their kids in the hand of people that's not qualified enough to be around children. PLEASE IF YOU DO SEND YOUR KID HERE PLEASE CHECK THE CAMERAS DAILY EVERY SECOND IF POSSIBLE, I PROMISE YOU'LL SEE THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE YOU WITHDRAW YOUR CHILD IMMEDIATELY.

The coaches are very young but sweet girls and I'm sure they are excellent VB players but they don't know how to coach and develop players. They are emotionless on the sidelines and tend to focus on just one or two players. I honestly think my daughter grew and learned more from her middle school teachers than she did at MI Elite. As an organization, I would have hoped MI Elite staff would have seen that our team struggled all season to win games - we barely won any and typically lost our matches In 2 games. Why didn't our coach get some help?. It was an expensive and disappointing season across the board :(

My daughter unfortunately was put on Justine Wests team. She is an experienced coach. She makes a…read morepoor attempt at coaching just because she has "played since she was 5". But that doesn't make you a coach. Stonefaced, what she lacks in personality she compensates in passive aggressive manipulation. The girls have no respect for her because she talks to them like they are Kindergarteners. She doesnt teach technique because she is too busy practicing dance moves on the court. Tournaments are poorly coordinated because there is little to no communication as to the schedule, timing, location etc. Parking and seating is non-existant Attemping to communicate with the club is impossible. Reeder (the Wixom coordinator) is too busy sleeping in the office. The facilities are dirty and smell like BO! To sum up our experience... sad. Will not be back and i do not recommend to anyone. For the exorbitant price, i expected much much more.

It is obvious he feels comfortable and is happy each day when dropped off and picked up. Both the owner, Sandeep, and director, Amee, are extremely personable.

Our little one is crawling and beginning to want to walk, so he will be moving to the First Steps room in the next few weeks. We expect to feel just as confident in his new teacher and for him to continue learning and developing as he has. We would definitely suggest The Goddard School to anyone!

Not a real Montessori school, demonstrates blatant disregard for student well-being. Your money…read morewon't go towards your child's education here. We withdrew after 7 weeks. Where to start... When my older son was so riddled with anxiety one day he refused to get out of the car at drop-off I knew I had to spend some time in the classrooms to see first-hand what was going on. Up until this point we had heard stories from the kids, were suspicious of the lack of work being done, and had already had a meeting with the headmaster over a separate safety issue that was going on at school. What I found when I visited the classrooms was virtually no academic work being done, the core components of a Montessori program not being delivered, and a hazardously frigid cold building. HAZARDOUS SCHOOL BUILDING. At $17k+ tuition, you'd think a school would have basic necessities like heat. I've attached a photo of the thermostat from inside my 2nd graders classroom on the day we pulled him out of this place. 52 degrees in the 3rd week of October. I was told it was "too early" to turn on the heat. See attached violation from the City of Pontiac building department for no heat and not maintaining a temperature of 68 degrees. This citation was a week after we left. Let that sink in that another week went by before they corrected the issue of freezing cold classrooms. FALSE CLAIMS TO BE A MONTESSORI PROGRAM. This school claims to be "fully accredited" and we were told (in writing) that they were a member of AMS (The American Montessori Society), yet when I verified their membership status (see attached letter from AMS) I found out they haven't even been members since 2020. NO INDIVIDUALIZED OR CHILD LED LEARNING (i.e. not Montessori). Kids had same lessons assigned. The Upper Elementary and Middle School are grouped together under the same lead teacher (we were not told this when we signed up). Montessori should have a 3 year age range, not 5. I observed my 4th grader and my 7th grader working on the same materials, and that work was way below even the 4th grade level. The teacher (Ms. Carey) admitted to giving my 7th grader the wrong math and science work for the previous 7 weeks. Ms. Carey admitted that our kids at 7 weeks into the program did not have the materials or the adult support to work on anything beyond what was setup for the classroom for the start of the school year. CHAOTIC STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT. A Montessori learning environment is supposed to provide a peaceful and quiet environment where students can work uninterrupted for long periods of time. This environment was so chaotic and full of constant interruptions (including flying sharp objects being thrown across the room and other safety issues) that my kids were nervous wrecks. My older son's friend was hit in the face with a pair of scissors that someone threw. DOCUMENTED LEARNING LOSS. In the 7 weeks we attended this school, my kids went from having great grades and high scores on their academic testing from the end of the previous school year in Math, to failing the math placement tests for the school they attended last year. We now are paying for weekly private tutoring to get caught up. This is all well documented.

I'm writing this in relation to their Troy After School program. I'm not a client, but I'm writing…read moreas a concerned mom. My kiddos and I have visited Jaycee park twice while their summer program kids were there, and I'm truly writing as a warning to parents because I would be heartbroken if I had my kids here given what was going on behind the scenes. The number of kids running around screaming curse words and calling each other derogatory names was honestly a bit shocking. I notified one of the girls who seemed to be in charge, because one of the boys was being bullied and I felt for him. I was just told he was new and they knew he was a problem. As I left the park, one of the kids that was being loaded into their van screamed "suck it lady." The driver and girls didn't seem to flinch. The second day, there were no less than 20 kids (some as young as 5 years old because I heard them talking) and 1 girl in charge who couldn't be much older than 18. I've worked at many childcare centers and am a teacher. That child to adult ratio is absolutely not acceptable. Please raise your standard as a childcare establishment and parents please be aware.
