I never write reviews, but I have to recommend this school. I have trusted them with both of my children and have been continually delighted with the experience they provide. Want kids who love to learn and are emotionally resilient? Send them here. The programs that they have for parent support, community-building, art, and music are all wonderful. The family consultant program is something you wont find anywhere else. The staff at Allen Creek helped us identify a learning disorder in my son that allowed us to get intervention much earlier than we ever would have on our own. I am forever grateful.

Allen Creek is a gift to the Ann Arbor community. Both of our children attended for multiple years and had wonderful, rewarding experiences. The teachers and staff are extremely dedicated and offer many years of expertise and knowledge. The school interacts with children in a way that is developmentally appropriate, rather than simply talking to them like little adults (or worse, like big babies). We made many friends at Allen Creek, who we continue to enjoy well after our kids have left. What a great group of people and families!

This is our daughters second year at Allen Creek, and we are all loving it! I was a little nervous about sending her to preschool because shed been at home with me since birth, but the teachers at Allen Creek facilitated a thoughtful, caring transition for our whole family. I really appreciate the respect that is given to children and parents, the family oriented atmosphere, and the sensitivities to the changing needs of each child as they learn and grow. I clearly see the positive influence on my daughters emotional, social, and intellectual development. And its so comforting to know that if she is going through a struggle, the teachers are right there by her side to help her work it out in a communicative, empathic manner. I highly recommend this school!

Allen Creek is an amazing school. Teachers are experienced and truly gifted and the school rigorously supports their professional development. The family consultant program is unique and positively changed our lives. My husband and I learned to better understand our childrens development, and became more effective, joyful parents. Our children were challenged intellectually and emotionally. They learned the fun of self-reliance and mastery, and that its worth working for.

Great school!
