Gilden Woods Commerce Twp

"I have two daughters who attend Gilden Woods, and they love it. The teachers are excellent, caring and communicative. I love that there is an app that is updated daily- with pictures of what they are doing throughout the day. I find it helpful to know how well my kids are eating, sleeping, etc… plus the teachers will discuss any important matters with you as well. Even though there were some staffing changes, I feel like it has always been well-organized and my kids are always well taken care of."

"My two daughters, ages 2 and 1 attend this daycare and we love it! The new staff and the improvements they've made have been awesome. The hours are very convenient and the tuition is affordable. The meals are healthy and have helped expand my daughters' palettes. The teachers are concerned about the childrens' growth and development. They offer lots of great activities for the children during school hours and opportunities for parents to get involved in special activities in celebration of holidays. I recommend this daycare."

"My daughter has attended this center for the last 4 years, the new leadership and consistency with staff has improved allowing for my daughters development to be more consistent. She is excited to do her ‘blue book’ at school and her pre-K teacher has done positive things to elevate her curriculum catering to what each of her students need. New leadership has also done a great job with planning events for the students each month(Valentine’s Day party, Halloween parties, grandparents in the center, grab and go snacks for parents, a holiday program, and providing a lobby station: whether it’s a sensory bin, Halloween treat table, reindeer dust for Christmas, etc. Much like the rest of the world over the last 3 years, staffing was difficult, there was a time when it was challenging and the communication wasn’t great from leadership regarding room closures, but this has since changed. They have hired a lot of teachers and the director is bringing fun to the children which in turn should help retain the teachers. I would recommend this center to others!"

"My husband and I are really happy with Gilden Woods. We love how clean the facility is and how friendly the staff is. Our son loves going to daycare here and talks about his friends and his teachers daily. We also love that the center offers family events in the evening. The app the center uses allows me to keep up to date with my son’s eating, toileting, and nap schedule and allows me to see what picture and activities he does throughout the day!"
