The 2,100-square-foot center is located at 7415 Dexter Pinckney Road.
The center — which is now accepting new enrollment — will provide all-day care for young children in addition to before and after school care, according to the report.
Honey Bee replaces the For Kid’s Sake Early Learning Center, which closed last year.
According to a real estate listing, the building was listed for lease for an annual $12-per-square-foot. The property also has a 16,000-square-foot fenced playground.

My childcare center is in the process of being licensed. I have a few final inspections next week then the state comes. The license number will not show online until after that, and even then it sometimes has a few weeks lag time. I currently do have a DC number (which is a child daycare center number). If it showed up online I would be open now :) As for Chelsea, I started this before they closed their center. This isn't and hasn't been a real estate office, at least in the last 20ish years. Its been a center. They probably stated Dexter because thats the mailing address. Yes I have been in a few articles, but I haven't contacted one person to be in them, they all came to me. This one I didn't even know about (Ive never spoke to anyone at annarbor.com)

Thanks, Melissa. This is an aggregation from Concentrate Media. The original article is linked to in the story and at the bottom, where it says, 'Read the full Concentrate report here.' Good luck with the opening!

Ms. Pangle deserves credit for getting the word out about her new business. I have seen this featured in another local publication as well. A quick search shows her license for her former home-based daycare in Saline, but not yet for this Center. Perhaps it is effective in September, or just not online yet? Either way, this is not exactly a hop, skip, and jump from Chelsea - unless you are traveling to/from Ann Arbor or Dexter and can stop here on the way. For those who desire care in Chelsea, THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS in the immediate area.

I believe the headline should read Dexter Township, not Dexter since this is not in Dexter.

It's the former Mary Wolter Real estate offices and her home.

I hope all the people in Chelsea that need child care see this article! There are more options available, even if in Dexter. And we won't have to see dunlap-hurden moan more about it!
