Annie’s Children’s Center: Ann Arbor, Michigan

The place has a very high turnover rate. The poorly paid yound girls only work there for temp, so they do not show much care about the children.
They put kids outside in the early morning and late afternoon, only following the rule if temprature is between 30-90. They don’t care about individual kid’s physical situation or abnormal weather which may cause most kids are not dressed properly. Without exercise some common sense consideration, they will throw the kids out. Some kids got sick after such irresponsible activities.

this center is …a great learning enviorment filled with very loving teachers and caregivers. It is obvious each child is looked at as an individual and that child’s individual needs are met to the best of the center’s abilities.

this center is … the teachers are great but the place is managed poorly. Poor to no communication with parents and the directors. There is a core group of teachers that are great, dedicated and love children. The building is old, the owners are slowly improving things, but the bathrooms are disgusting and they aren’t in the child’s classroom so sometimes children will be in the bathroom by themselves because the staff is shorthanded. If my daughter and I love her current teacher, but I’m looking for a new school for her come January when she has to change classrooms.
