Choosing the right preschool for your family can be overwhelming, and a very personal preference…read more If you are looking for a small community feel, Mayfair is a great preschool option. It is a co-operative, so every family is a member of the school and has a vote on how the preschool operates, and well as the opportunity to attend their child's class as a volunteer! The families who look for cooperative preschool want to give their time and efforts to create a close knit school environment. Our children loved their time at Mayfair, and I was really happy with the sweet family-like environment. The parent board made decisions that were in the best interest of both families and school. The teacher was top notch, she really cares about child development and the kids adore her!

I adore Mayfair & honestly cannot say enough good things about the school and the staff. It is a…read moreCo-Op preschool so it's run by the parents. Each parent gets a job within the school & works scheduled days in the classroom & nursery. This is actually one of the main reasons why I chose Mayfair. I love being in the classroom with my daughter to see how she interacts with her friends & get a glimpse at what her school days are like. I also love working in the nursery, it gives me a chance to get to know the siblings of Mayfair. Ms. Amanda is an amazing teacher. The way she interacts with the children is thoughtful and respectful. She gives the children a variety of options to explore and create through play and activities. Our family moved to Michigan 2 years ago and the hunt for a preschool was on. At the time I was 6 months pregnant so having a free on-site nursery for siblings in the Threes and Fours classes was a big plus for me! My eldest daughter is currently in the 3's class and loves every minute of it! I am very excited for her to start her pre-K journey in the 4's class & to participate in the parent & tot class with my littlest.

We were searching around and weren't sure where to enroll her. She walked us around various classrooms/activity areas/yard etc. while one of the instructors interacted with our daughter. We really loved it and we got the feeling they really cared and knew what they were talking about. Lot of places may say they do Montessori, but do they? It was a plus to be super close to the school. I also think for the quality education and life skills our daughter gets, price is more than fair. We already see positive changes in our daughter. She is more curious and she loves going to school. She has also less reliant on her teddy than before. I give them 10/10 as we are very satisfied with them. Recommending them to another parent is not hard for me.

That evening, he was in severe pain, and we took him to the ER. Thankfully no fracture, but he is still in pain days later. What's most disappointing is the lack of empathy and compassion shown afterward. Instead of proactive care and follow-up, the response felt dismissive and indifferent. Parents trust schools to not only ensure safety, but also to treat children with genuine concern when accidents happen. Sadly, that trust was broken in this case.

I'm not sure why the previous post states that staffers are not allowed to talk to parents because I can't shut up and probably spend about 10 minutes each morning talking to both my kids teachers and find myself running late for work. Twice I have odd work hours and stopped in to see my kids on my lunch, spending at least 30 minutes there and find the whole staff to be very friendly and know me and my husband by name. My kids are greeted each morning with a smile. I love this place and feel confident that my children are getting care in a loving and nurturing environment! It may not have all the bells and whistles, but I am most concerned about the relationships and care they are giving. My daughter is well taken care of in the infant room, rocked to sleep at each nap, and given a lot of attention. She is feed exactly how I have asked and her diapers are always changed. I always see the care givers in this room on the floor playing and talking with the babies, they do not just manage the babies, but interact with them. My son comes home happy each day and tells me all about the fun stuff they did in his preK class. I love all the special projects they bring in for his class and tons of art projects. He is a smart kid and comes home each day with something new he has learned. I know at the facility is newer and many of the caregivers have been there since it opened, but when I toured the other, older one, down the street, some staff had been there for 8-15 years. Before moving, we were with a home daycare for 5 years and I was used to my kids being in a very small group setting with a ton of individual care. I was nervous about coming to a center, but I am so happy with this facility and look forward to being here for years to come.
