The Discovery Center 775 South Maple Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48103

"My child has gone to the Discovery Center since she was first able to and will be moving on to kindergarten in a few weeks. She has grown and developed so much here thanks to her teachers. I've never had a problem with communication (as older reviews have mentioned); everyone (from the director to the teachers) has always been open and available to talk. I have been completely happy with our experience, and I highly recommend TDC! From the teachers to the classrooms to the playground, nature area, and rainbow room, this has been a very positive and nurturing environment."

"The Discovery Center is a well-known very well regarded early childhood preschool. The facility is extremely well designed with multiple outdoor play spaces and spacious classrooms. The staff is exceptionally qualified. You will be extremely happy if you choose to place your child in their care."

"The facility is lovely. We wanted to like it. Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience. Throughout the two months we were at DC, we were disappointed in the teachers' communication with us. They rarely shared information about the day's activities and we felt like they always had something negative to say about our son--and they would say it right in front of him and his friends. When he was physically punished in a way that we find completely unacceptable--and it was reported to us by another concerned parent--we withdrew him immediately."

"This had been a wonderful place for both our children. Our daughter went here for about a year, but when her brother needed to start day care because of work schedules, he was too young for their program, and we took her out and put them elsewhere. It was nowhere near as professional, caring or feedback rich as the discovery center. As soon as he was old enough we went back and have been amazed by the difference in our kids attitude to leaving in the morning. I pick up simulated, happy and well fed children each time they are there. The teachers feedback is not scolding, as someone else wrote here, it's helpful, instructive and insightful advice from professional educators with years of experience. The ability to see your child interact without them seeing you to affect their behavior is wonderful. This place is great from design to staff to the obvious love and care my children are treated with. It's the best."

"This is an incredible school for my son! My husband and I have been floored by the consistency and high level of professionalism that the center offers. We moved our son over last year, when he was 2 1/2 and it has been nothing short of AMAZING. He is in the Blue Room with extraordinary teachers. The Discovery Center exceeds ALL expectations!"
