The teachers at Paradigm go above and beyond to make you, and especially your children, feel happy, healthy, and safe! People often marvel at, "how much my 3-year-old knows" or "how polite he is". While my husband and I work hard to ensure he STAYS that way, we know if our hearts that the teachers and staff at Paradigm are a HUGE part of why he IS that way!

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.

Questions of my character as a parent came into play instead of focusing on the needs of my child and effectively communicating concerns. Principal is unreasonable and took statements geared towards open discussion and escalated them instead of putting me at ease. Principal was not open to helping and was condescending. When looking at the parent's statement below who engaged an attorney to speak to the Principal, I am not not surprised and saddened I sent my child to this school after making such a financial sacrifice to do so. The school promises low class sizes but this is untrue. Lower grades can have as many as 26 children- making this comparable, or even more in numbers, to public school. As a Christian, I am grateful I won't be sending my child here again and that the truth of how the school operates was fully exposed to me. I would not recommend this school.

I had overwhelming feelings of anxiety and guilt, because, as a mother, the last thing you would want to do is trust your perfect tiny human with strangers. Ms. Ebonee, Ms. Mari, and Ms. Sara F may not know it, but they helped me step by step to work through my anxiety and guilt. Every morning I was greeted with smiles, by the staff. At first, it was rough on both my daughter and I during drop off, but as time went on, she would smile and as Ms. Ebonee calls it, dog whistle when we arrived at school. Every day at pick up, I get details on how my baby's day went, and what her teachers were working on with her throughout the day. My daughter was slowly becoming more comfortable with her teachers and was able to open up more at school. This helped me be at ease. Sure, there are still times when I have mom guilt take over, and I pick my daughter up early from school to spend a little extra time with her. But, I trust her teachers and the care they have provided for my daughter has been outstanding. Gilden Wood's Commerce is safe, reliable, and the hours work well for me. Another thing that I love about this school is that there is an app and they provide, in real time, updates on meals, naps, diaper changing, and they even send pictures and videos of my little one doing different activities. You can also send messages to the teachers and they are able to respond. There are also cameras in the classrooms and in the infant napping area, so I can check in at any time. I appreciate everyone who has been apart of providing care for my daughter this entire time, thank you!

It has been more than a couple of months since I removed my son from this daycare center, so I have…read moretaken a significant amount of time to gather my thoughts and concerns to write this review. When seeking a center for my 2-year old son I made a point to read the reviews for each center I considered. For that reason, I wanted to make sure that I wrote a clear review of my family's experience at this daycare center. First, let me begin with strongly cautioning any black families from trusting your little ones in their care. I say this because the last straw that caused me to remove my son was him being blatantly discriminated against and profiled by the teacher and I feel like the center staff as well. The first red flags were the teachers changing almost daily. My son had attended the daycare center for three weeks before I met his lead teacher. Then she was out for months due to a medical leave. My son only attended the center for 6 months and this was his first daycare center experience. Within the first 3 months he was hurt on the playground 3 times. After about the first month or two, I begin to receive behavioral incident notices at least twice per week and he only attended the center 3 days per week. At times they would call me to tell me about his behavior but neglect to mention to me that he had gotten hurt physically. These 'ouchies' were not simply scratches or scrapes that kids get all the time. Twice it was a split fingernail and then a busted limp. It happened so often that I made a point to do my best to pick him up before his teachers left for the day. I begin to feel this way because when I would pick him up he would be with other teachers that seemed really young and inexperienced. That brings me to another major issue - they were so short staffed at times that they would message parents on the morning of saying that they were shorthanded and were seeking volunteers to keep their child at home for the day. Then that escalated to messages/notifications on Fridays stating that specific classrooms would be closed on specific days due to their lack of staff. I met with the Director - Liz and her assistant Tori to establish a behavioral plan for my son. During that meeting, I expressed my concern that it seemed as if they were holding my 2-year-old to a higher standard than even their staff. I was told that they would make sure that the forgetting to notify me that he had gotten hurt would stop. Liz also assured me that he would not transition to a new class without notifying me. Within two weeks that is exactly what happened, also within a week of that meeting - Liz announced that she was leaving the center. Shortly after that we received a notice that both of his original teachers would no longer be working there. The notice came as a huge surprise. One day, I arrived to drop him off and was told that he would be visiting a different class. Next day they just moved him to the next class. In the meantime, when I would drop him off the teacher of the new class would call them to say that she was over ratio. This was of course concerning to me, so I waited until they adjusted the number of students before I left. On the last day, I brought him in and stayed for about 15 minutes to observe him in class and also speak with the teacher. She told me that he was a good boy and that most of the time his behavior was related to him defending his friends. When I got there I was given two incident reports - one due to his behavior and the other because he had fallen and gotten hurt the day before. Of course, this was frustrating. Then I read the behavioral incident. The teacher had written very disturbing things about my 2-year-old son. This was very hurtful and extremely contradictory to what we discussed in person. I told the regional director what happened. She apologized and told me that they would address the report with the teacher and agreed that the teacher should not have written the report in that manner. She also told me that they were in the process of onboarding a more experienced& appropriate teacher. I removed my son that following week. I just could not trust that he was not being mistreated. Parents, don't be fooled by the very nice facility. This center is not a stable, organized center that will be safe for your little ones.

After having a less than great time with another daycare down the road, we moved both of our sons here. They were 1.5 and 3 at the time, and have since stayed on for another 3 years. We have continually had amazing teachers who work incredibly hard to give 1:1 attention to kids that have different personalities, learning styles, and education levels. There are separate rooms for all different age groups, and they are constantly refreshing stations and activities while staying core to a rigorous and well-researched curriculum. The teachers keep track of the progress of each kid not just personally but through a digital tool that makes for some really productive parent teacher conferences twice a year. I feel spoiled. They love volunteers. They encourage parent feedback. They do science and art and reading and fun summer activities. They aren't just good, they are constantly looking for ways to improve, stay close to parents, keep the staff happy, and the kids excelling. They have flexible plans for payment and even shuttle before and after care to the local elementaries. Did I mention Parent's Night Out once a month, where they take your kids for a few extra hours so you can get a date night, while your kids watch movies in pajamas? Group trips to the local apple orchard? Breakfast with Santa? Water fun days in the summer? Ongoing classroom science experiments? I don't even know how to capture all the amazing in one review.
