Wish zero stars was an option. The director of this daycare, Maggie Headd, is one of the most…read moreunpleasant and unfriendly people I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. Not once did she ever greet me or my child during drop off/ pick up. The turnover rate in this facility is so high that week to week I never knew who was going to be caring for my child. This definitely raised some red flags for my family. There were several occasions I did not like the behavior of the teachers that I saw on camera, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. It does seem like the teachers are trying their best, but leadership starts at the top and if Maggie is their leader, I can see why the turnover rate is as high as it is. There is hardly any interaction between the teachers and children other than reading to them occasionally. I have heard this complaint from several other parents in passing during drop offs and pick ups. Ultimately we decided to pull our child from the daycare after securing childcare at a much higher rated facility in the city. In my time at this location, Maggie had sent out several requests for 5 star reviews of this facility. I would recommend instead of soliciting 5 star reviews, you listen to some constructive criticism from the current reviews you have on this page. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Cheap childcare with terrible management. I would recommend looking anywhere else for childcare.

My child has been treated with trauma for longer than I will really know. When you say anything, you're met with excuses. When you finally say something has to be done, nothing. When you get to the point of anger, you are the one with the problem. No accountability to be had at this place. If you're looking to spend your money to have your child tormented all day, by all means. You have to allow this behavior or you won't have daycare.

This is the worst place in Grand Rapids! Their staff does not enforce basic rules like NO HITTING!…read more It got to the point where my grandson was being hit every day by the same boy, and we reported it to the director and the teacher over and over with the promise that it was being "handled" and they would not tolerate this bad and constant behavior from one of the kids. My grandson cried every time we brought him to that place, and we finally had to pull him from that school because, after 8 months, nothing was done and I was a witness to the same boy taking his closed fist and hitting another child in the face RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! I actually should have filed a police report at the time because the school was knowingly allowing these incidences to occur in their classrooms with no repercussions. By the way, I called the Regional Director of The Learning Experience and she assured me that the owner of that location would be calling me to discuss this. It's been over 2 years and still no phone call or message!!!

The staff is warm, attentive, and truly invested in the children. The teachers create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment, and we always felt confident leaving our son in their care.

We highly recommend TLE Cascade to any family looking for high-quality childcare.

While all the staff has been great, my son loved having Mandy and Grace as his teachers. He also really enjoys Ikram and she's been so great with our daughter too. Lucy has been so sweet with both of our kids - even though she's primarily a teacher for our daughter, she always takes time to say hi to our son and ask about his day. We are thankful to see Samantha's smiling face at the desk each morning and my son always loves what Bobbi cooks up for him! Overall it's been a good experience.

We LOVE Appletree! Our two kids go there (currently 1 and 3) and really love school. I am amazed at…read morethe things my children learned even as infants. Even with the youngest children, the teachers were always willing to help in anyway possible and giving tips and tricks to help get my kids to eat better and sleep better. I love that they teach sign language but also encourage my toddler to use her words. My three year old loves going there so much and talks about his teachers as his friends. He knows they care about him and that is very important to us. We get daily feedback on both of our children when we pick up our kids. It's so nice to hear a positive thing everyday, even if it is just a small thing like "He really loved singing today". The environment in the building is very welcoming. Teachers in other rooms smile and say hi to my kids even if they aren't in their rooms during the day. We recommend ACLC to friends all the time!

When I came from a different child care center with a very bad experience. They showed compassion and empathy. My child is happy every day that I pick them up.

Thank you all that you do for our family!!

From day one, the staff has been nothing short of amazing: caring, warm, attentive, and truly invested in each child's well-being. It's clear they build genuine relationships with every family. The teachers know our children by name, treat them with kindness and respect, and consistently go above and beyond to keep us connected--whether it's through real-time updates or their handy mobile app SproutAbout. It brings us so much peace of mind to see photos or videos of our kids learning, playing, and thriving throughout the day Their programs are a perfect fit--for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and even school-age children. They've also supported us through summer camp ("Wondercamp"), offering endless fun, active play, engaging hands-on activities, field trips, and more. Every age group has something exciting and enriching to look forward to. Safety is clearly prioritized here. The secure facility requires unique entry codes and visitor sign-in, giving us confidence that our kids are well cared for all day long. If you're looking for a nurturing, educational, and fun place for your child, we cannot recommend Tutor Time on Grand Ridge Drive enough. It's felt like a second home for our kids--and we're so grateful to the entire team for their devotion to our family.
