Cuddle Creek Childcare is a diverse, family owned business providing a nurturing environment for children ages 6 weeks and up. We understand the challenge of finding trusted care for your child while you areaway; we also value the importance of a comfortable, home-like setting-where established routines are key and everyone learns through the human experience. We believe play is a child’s work, we believe in respect for all and a child’s right to be included, and we believe that all children can be successful members of society in some fashion. Our family is a myriad of diversity: inter-racial adoption, domestic partnership, special needs, rescue pets, etc. We feel strongly that our unique home-life is a true representation of the world around us, on a micro-level. In addition to the typical child care experiences such as learning to share, achieving developmental milestones, problem solving, teamwork, etc., at Cuddle Creek, your child will witness and practice tolerance, acceptance, kindness, compassion, personal responsibility, self-affirmation, and a host of other invaluable life-skills.
Cuddle Creek Child Care uses the Attachment Theory in our practices with all children. We do not use time-outs or punitive consequences at any time. Our staff have found that redirection and adult support is the most successful approach to encouraging appropriate behaviors in older infants, toddlers, and preschool aged children. In our Infant program, we strive to emulate the routines and schedule you have set as parents, to nurture, protect, and build a secure relationship with your child. With over 35+ combined years of experience, we have come to know that a safe, trusting relationship between caregiver and child must be the foundation to all learning.

Local

Fairy doors have become iconic in Ann Arbor and surrounding smaller towns such as Dexter, where the village’s first fairy door and portal are located. Local children leave gifts in the hope that real fairies will receive them. Some of the gifts left at the door include pennies and nickels, drawings, tiny packages, candy, and glittery rocks. Some doors, such as the one at Sweetwater, have guest books where visitors can write reflections, stories, paint fairies, and ask questions. Sometimes a “fairy” answers questions from magazines. The general attitude towards fairy doors is mysticism and childlike adoration.

The Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce and some magic door businesses distribute cards and sell copies of Jonathan B. Wright’s book. Who is behind the doors of the fairies? and posters showing each door and its location. Many articles have been published about doors, including local and national ones. At Michigan Daily , the University of Michigan Student Newspaper ran an article titled “The Busiest Carpenters of Real Life Fairies A2?” [8] October 12, 2010 Washington Post April 23, 2006 published an article titled “Ann Arbor Proudly Presents: Doors.” [4]

Fairy gates also appeared in neighboring towns. An Ypsilanti woman found a magic door at the base of a tree on the front lawn. [9] Saline solution in the southwest was “Treasure hunt at the door of the fairies.” [10] event in the spring of 2010. Nearby, Dexter held a Fairy Doors exhibition and competition around the same time, and plans to hold them annually. [11]

Goblin Door is the “sinister” variant of fairy doors and is slightly taller than them. It is located in Ann Arbor between the Ark and Seyfried Jewelers on South Main Street. As of July 2012, a Vogel’s locksmith in downtown Ann Arbor has placed a mass of keys forming the word “Fairy Door”, hinting that a new fairy door may be coming. As of May 29, 2014, there were 14 residential courtyard doors in the Ypsilanti area of ​​Normal Park.
