Gilden Woods Portage
Private
Wondercamp is the full-day summer camp run at Gilden Woods Portage, a licensed Michigan childcare and preschool center operated by AppleTree & Gilden Woods (Learning Care Group). The camp runs 15 weeks across the summer with a new theme each week — invention, water, sports, music, art, nature — alongside daily outdoor play, arts and crafts, and healthy meals and snacks; school-age campers also take local field trips. It is open to toddlers, preschoolers and school-age children up to age 12, enrolled by the week at the Portage center. Care is available full-time, part-time or drop-in through the same center year-round.

★★★★★Kara SpiethWe absolutely love this daycare! From day one, the teachers and staff have made our family feel so welcomed and cared for. It truly feels like a second home—everyone knows both of our kids by name, which means so much to us. The team goes above and beyond with engaging activities and a thoughtful daily curriculum. We’ve seen our kids learn and grow in so many ways, and it’s clear how much effort and heart the staff puts into what they do every day. We’re so grateful to have found such a nurturing, supportive environment for our children. Highly recommend to any family looking for a place where their kids will be loved and encouraged to thrive!
★★★★★Julia BuckWe love Gilden Woods! Developmental curriculums for each age and stage support language development and early childhood milestones. The teachers are well-qualified and so kind. Each teacher knows every child’s name, even if they are not usually in that classroom. Communication from the school leadership is consistent and reliable, as are the school hours. Mr. Jaquann and Miss Whitney, Miss Tianna, Miss Rebekah, and all the teachers are all amazing!
★★★★★Steven JordanMy kids have been going here for 6 years. They love it and we love it. The front desk team does an amazing job making everyone feel welcome and you can tell they love each kid like their own. They have fun programs for the kids to learn music or sports. If there is ever a problem they are quick to respond and find solutions. I would 10/10 recommend this daycare to anyone looking.
★★★★★Abby BondWe have had nothing but a positive experience with Gilden Woods since our girls started attending. Our girls love their teachers, are constantly learning new things, and we love getting pictures and videos of them throughout the day. I can tell all the teachers and staff really care about the kids which makes such a difference!! Specifically the staff in infant 1 and Faris are outstanding!! Would recommend to anyone looking for a safe place to take their children.
★★★★★Lindsey SchimpWe have 2 children at Gilden Woods, our oldest has been going there for over 3 years. We love the staff and feel that they learn so much when there. They offer many extracurriculars (Such as soccer and music)- which is great for busy parents. Communication with us is excellent and I truly feel that my children are in great hands!
