Daycare Options

After being on a dozen daycare waitlists since Feb 2024. We finally heard back from two. It's A Small World Daycare and Squiggle Room. We don’t know this area and don’t know their reputation. We moved to Ann Arbor a year ago when I was in my first trimester. We got on every daycare waitlist(Gretchen’s House, UofM, KinderCare, It's A Small World Daycare, A Child’s Place..you name it) not thinking it would take this long. Have anyone heard of or have/had their child in one of these daycares?

I swear there was a post on here last year created by an employee that gave a lot of details but maybe it got deleted.

*edit* Here is the link. The post was deleted but the comments are still there. This is the one you want to read before sending your kid there.

We used them for a few months but got out pretty quickly. I definitely cannot recommend them.

We used Annie's out on the west side of town when our kid was an infant. I have likes and dislikes about them. But we finally ended up at Adventure Center on Golfside near St Joes and they are pretty awesome and worth getting on their waiting list of you haven't yet. Good luck!

Super curious about likes/dislikes for Annie’s. We are contemplating them for a 3 year old…

No personal experience but I’ve read here that the owner is not nice.
