I heard an employee say to a child he was going to shove his face in the snow last winter. I've had my child's personal items thrown from across the room toward my husband and son per his report and a boot almost hit him. Not appropriate. Im sure there are some great caregivers there. But when one that is impatient and just doesn't manage the children's emotional crisis well is the dominant energy than others follow. I walked in the room several time to different children crying and during the whole time it took me to change my child from snow items to other clothes and gather his things the child had not been spoken to. There are other ways I've seen this handled at another care facility. I suggest using your best judgment if you just feel like someone is a little annoyed by the children more often times than not then don't take your child there. Bless all the bright sunshiny patient caregivers that are there. They really need you. Also, I qualified for some DHS benefits and felt like that wasn't totally transparent because what my caseworker was telling me and what they were charging me was two different things. watch the totals on that print out from the beginning.

I checked out quite a few facilities and read online reviews before deciding on The Breakie Bunch. My first phone call and in person tour of the facility went smoothly, Laura Breakie immediately squashed any reservations I had with her warm and welcoming attitude. She is a mom, so she knows how difficult it is to trust your children with others. I love that they use the Tadpoles app, and they provide so much detail! I can check in on the app any time of the day to see how the kids are doing. All parents/guests must check their child in on a computer in the lobby using their fingerprint.....I love the security offered! They have a monthly calendar to show you what the upcoming themes will be, visits from the librarian, exotic animal exhibits, field trips. The teachers are all so caring, you can tell that they actually enjoy being around and teaching children. I can pay online, call with as many questions as I can think of and even grab a quick cup of coffee on my mad morning dash through the lobby. Greatest thing of all is that my daughters are learning new things every day that they attend The Breakie Bunch. To kind of defend The Breakie Bunch against other yelp reviews.....their policy does state to give a 2 week notice for schedule changes, I assume this means cancelling attendance all together. We did receive bi-annual progress reports where we met with my daughters preschool teacher to see how far she had come throughout the year. We love The Breakie Bunch!

She has never once come home with bite marks, negative words (such as 'butts'; which was picked up at her stay at a private in home day care). The teachers here are very supportive, kind and firm. They have given me daily report cards of her activities during the ages she could not speak, which I found to be extremely helpful! The detail of these cards was helpful for me to continue the same schedule while she was at home and at school. My daughter is now entering the young 5's and she and I are both excited for this next journey. The teachers have told me she will be learning how to use computer skills, learning spanish, and reading and writing. She will also begin learning math. The owner of SFMB, Nanci, has been extremely supportive to me and my family, and has gone above and beyond what I would have ever expected from an owner of any business. I am a single parent, and this is a school that I am proud to say my daughter attends. It is well worth the value of your money spent.

    Morgan's Early Learning Center

    My 4-year-old son attended Morgan's Early Learning Center for almost 3 years and it's always been a…read morepositive experience. Recently, I made the unfortunate decision at the start of the 2019-2020 preschool year to try out Stepanski Early Childhood Center across the street. I cannot tell you what a huge mistake I made by doing that. I qualified for the Oakland County's GSRP state-funded program based out of Stepanski, so free tuition. At Morgan's full tuition was paid. Like the other reviewer mentioned, sometimes you get exactly what you pay for when it's free or low-cost. (If you're interested in seeing photos of what can happen there, feel free to shoot me a private message. Posted my photos to Google believe they were flagged + my review was taken down.) Why the switch? Over the summer of 2019 Morgan's informed parents they were being bought out by another company. The timing was 'ideal' to try a new center. We all know how some corporate takeovers go...potential policy changes, staff turnover, and suchlike. My son was also set to transition into the preschool-level classroom there at the start of Fall 2019 *and* there was potential to save money at Stepanski. Everyone can stand to save a little more money, right? Well, not at the physical expense of your child. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. And no, I did not just stutter. ESPECIALLY if you have court / judgment-issued custody parameters that are not cut + dried (if you're divorcing, factor this in BIG TIME) and the potential of court officials who think your concerns do not hold water and your ex trapped you by design. 2 months of negative experiences at Stepanski will be ignored + trump nearly 3 years positive experience at Morgan's (or another center of your choosing). It makes no sense to me, but BE WARNED if you're in a similar situation. Let my mistake be your lesson. If you're the type of parent to freely invest in your child and are not a if-it's-free-it's-for-me individual, make that investment at Morgan's. The location on Hatchery Rd + Airport Rd should be on you daycare / child care center research list if you live in Waterford Township or nearby in Clarkston, Michigan. I have never felt that my son was in danger at Morgan's (and I am *always* on high-alert). You always get a heads up phone call if something has happened that they think you should know about or seems off (not some surprise on a piece of paper and on your kids' person at the end of the day). If you are running extra late, haven't called, and your child has not shown up by 10AM, they will reach out to you (gotta love a sincere welfare check). They also don't default to lazy app messaging use. But if one were used, I am sure Morgan's would be sensitive to how they should use them + triage the messaging accordingly. Staff make an effort to connect + know your name. I don't know if they are trained to say, "Hello!" or "Have a great day!" when passing parents in the hallway or upon leaving as a condition of employment, but it's always a bright and cheery scene 95% of the time. AMENITIES: They have a large outdoor play space that is sectioned off for younger kids and older kids with plenty of space to roam, summer Splash Days, book fundraisers, pizza day, holiday party days, IdentiKid events + picture day. The classrooms are spacious, clean, and well-stocked with toys and educational items. You often see staff actively cleaning, too. But daycare is daycare and germs are germs - it's part of the territory. They "make" you store nap items in giant Ziplocs. Not like the Bad Place across the street that must throw them in a heap and hand them back to you loose at some point down the road. Morgan's allows you to customize scheduling within reason or availability: 1/2 days, p/t + f/t weeks. One area where Morgan's can use some work: their marketing. The 2000's-looking website and Facebook activity could use an upgrade and focused content creation plan (here's looking at you Corporate Takeover Company). One thing I don't think they are doing a good job at is letting everyone know how good they are + how much they offer. Maybe move onto Instagram, too (I know that I am barely on FB anymore). Being more active with posting holiday 'we're open / closed' notice updates and text or email reminders for events. I once showed up when they were legit closed. I recently asked about the type of "curriculum" they use (not that it's a bad one, my kid learned A LOT there), but knowing that a structured one is available is a sure vote of confidence for a prospective parent. Be advised that there are chunky late fees if you don't pay your tuition by [every] Weds (even if you get paid on Thursday or Friday that same week), so plan accordingly. Also, timely pickups are incentivized by a $4 per minute late pickup fee. Understandable, people want to go the 'H' home and the company needs to offset O/T. Sadly, I will not see my son graduate from Morgan's, but you sure can if you enroll your kid.
