I am very disappointed at how responsive Debbie Thompson is. I called first and the lady sounded good but after I sent the paperwork there was no response whatsoever for months. I called again to confirm whether they got the paperwork but there was no response. How are you supposed to enroll your kid here if you can't get a hold of anybody? Obviously I'm not sending my kid here.

Amazing educators. I enrolled my child in a different daycare. He had an horrible experience and ended up hating even term daycare. Glad I pulled him out and enrolled here. It has been a lovely journey for him and us since then.

My girls have been going to this daycare for quite a while now. It is the most amazing place for my little ones, the staff are all amazing and welcoming. I love how inclusive they are. Perfect daycare for my family.

MSU has been amazing for our son the past 2+ years. We originally had him enrolled in another school and faced problem after problem. With MSU, they all disappeared due to the high quality of Debbie and her wonderful staff. They are invested in our son and want to see him have a great experience. A+

We started at another daycare and switched over to MSU when my son turned 18months. It’s been amazing. The instructors clearly love their jobs and they keep the kids busy all day. Lots of outdoor play. My son loves going to daycare now.
