We had the best experience at AAHCDC. The teachers and staff are incredible- warm, caring, knowledgeable and regularly go the extra mile. I was surprised at what my 4 yo knew at the end of his one year there. Our only regret is that we didn't find this school sooner. They will always have a special place in our heart.

I have to say I used Romelle's name and quote in my Father of the Bride toast this past Saturday. My 24 year old high power Detroit lawyer, graduate of Notre Dame and U of M Law married Saturday. I quoted Romelle telling me once that raising a child is the process of letting go, and she pointed out I would struggle with that my whole life. She was correct. The Zebra room didn't teach topics as much as it taught success. Acedemiuc success is a feeling and a process that has to be present from the beginning. AAHCDC instills that pride as a basis to all the life successes that follow. You cant do better, send you kids

Sending our kids to AAHCDC was probably the best decision we have made for them in their young lives. The teachers and staff are truly committed to helping the whole child develop, academically, emotionally, and socially. As a parent, you feel that the teachers and all who work at AAHCDC are truly a part of your 'team' in helping your child to grow. Our children see their teachers as a part of their extended family and feel comfortable and confident each day they walk through the door. If it 'takes a village' to raise a child, then this is the village that I would choose, hands down.

I highly recommend Ann Arbor Hills Child Development Center to any parent who is trying to find a wonderful school for their child. AAHCDC's Directors: Ramelle Alexander and Beth Randall truly understand early child development and appropriate pedagogy to nurture growth and education for each child. I toured and visited other preschools, and once I visited AAHCDC, I knew that this school was one of the best in town. My child has learned so much in her one year of preschool here, which has prepped her for Kindergarten immensely. Her preschool class interweaves fun, kinesthetic, multi-sensory learning experiences in every single aspect of the day, so that while she is learning, she is having fun and truly engaging with knowledge and memorable experiences. She has developed an excitement and positivity about learning, and the capability to try new learning experiences with enthusiasm. She has a knowledge of numbers, the alphabet letter names and alphabet letter sounds, as well as handwriting and intuitive spelling. Her classroom provides daily pretend and play centers, art centers, science/experiment centers, and recess. The teacher to student ratio is ideal, so she received tons of personal attention. She had two lead teachers in her classroom who always kept me in the loop as to her development and engagement with the classroom. In addition, the music teacher Mr. Alexander is so creative and fun with the kids they have a blast. My child has also begun speaking Spanish due to their full-time Spanish teacher, Ms. Rojo, who visits each classroom. AAHCDC has various fun events for the students, like the Halloween Parade or the Graduation/End of Year Picnic. The teachers who work here have been here for many years (over 10 years), which tells you something about how they are treated. I personally love when my childs teachers are happy and treated well, because happy, well-treated teachers make a positive learning environment for students! The schools scheduling is incredibly flexible in terms of days and length of the day, so you can make the schedule work for your familys needs. AAHCDC teaches children from Age 2.5 through 2nd Grade. Every single staff member is incredibly positive every single interaction each phone call and every drop off and pick up was immensely positive. My child was so excited to attend school each morning. I felt very proud to send my child to such a wonderful school where she has made friends with her classmates and feels a part of a community. I highly recommend any parent who is searching for a school for their child, to call and schedule a tour, to meet the Directors and teachers and see this amazing school. Best of luck on your search!
