University of Michigan-Flint Early Childhood Development Center

My daughter has been at the ECDC since she was about 5 months old. I am so, so happy with the facility in it's entirety. The teachers are warm, caring, compassionate----and exceedingly well educated about early childhood development. I love that the whole class "moves" up in the classrooms together so my daughter is with the same 10-12 kids for years, and goes through all transitions with them, and that they have the same teachers for the first 3 years. My kiddo tells me all of the time that her teachers are her "best friends," and she learns so much from them. By 2, she was counting to 20 and knew all of the written numbers, knew all of her letters, knew all of her colors, and knew all of her shapes. The program gives kids the independence to seek out activities they enjoy , and all learning is "play based," which I love. I was so nervous about sending my daughter to a program so young, but the ECDC has been wonderful. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to know that my child is well cared for, cared about, and happy when I can't be with her. I seriously cannot recommend them enough and I do frequently recommend them to friends and family.

2 year waitlist because faculty primarily utilizes the daycare. $240 a week so expensive anyways. Rude staff.

Just don't do it. Overpriced. They don't communicate anything at all levels. Sad used to be a great daycare from what I was told.
