Started in 1987 by our Founding Director, Ramelle Alexander, Ann Arbor Hills today remains a family owned and community focused Early Childhood Center with child-focused, developmentally appropriate classroom settings for children ages 16 months through the Kindergarten year. Our approach today is still true to our beginnings…

Child Focused

All children come to us with their own particular needs. Our individual approach makes it possible to provide for these needs. Every child also has a potential that must be recognized before it can be explored. Our staff are chosen for their sensitivity towards your children’s needs and potential.

One common educational need is a thorough grounding in the basic skills. At Ann Arbor Hills, we nurture and enrich each child’s inherent potential. We create an atmosphere of happiness, balance and sensitivity and keep alive the natural qualities of childhood.

Parent Informed

Our work at Ann Arbor Hills Child Development Center is built upon a full and deep understanding of each child. In order to understand your child better and therefore to be able to nurture your child along an individual path, we need to establish open and regular communication between home and school. We will always be happy to talk to you. Parents are encouraged to discuss their child’s achievements. This can happen informally, or in the more structured form of the parent-teacher conferences.

Children enjoy being able to present to parents aspects of their life at school so parents are invited to participate and share in varying ways throughout the school year. In this way we hope to build a close relationship with you during the time your child is with us.

Parents appreciate our warm approach to development and separation. We now have parents who were once students here at Ann Arbor Hills sending their children to this special space.
