I highly recommend Mayflower! I remember being so worried about choosing the right preschool for my…read morechildren...but now that they're done, I absolutely know I made the right choice when I chose Mayflower. My 2 kids were 4 years apart (had the same teacher) and they both LOVED it there. It was a great experience for them and for our whole family. This preschool is wonderful with experienced, kind teachers who truly care! They're not the newest, the biggest and they don't have a flashy new program or a theme, they just use old-fashioned teaching to prepare kids for kindergarten. Ask anyone who has sent their kids there to hear more rave reviews!

Such an amazing school! Both of our children did the 4's preschool and Young 5's at Maple Tree and…read moreit is such a phenomenal program. The teachers are incredible and loving and the academics are top notch. Our children are now in Kindergarten and 1st grade and are excelling. They learn memory verses, reading, math...even their phone number and address. A perfect mix of structure and open ended play. The Young 5's students have one on one time each week where they work specifically on the areas they need it from letter recognition to counting to reading. Perfect for kids with summer and fall and even winter birthdays who would benefit from the gift of an extra year before starting Kindergarten. Tuition is extremely reasonable and the optional "Scrambled Eggs" Fridays are a blast! Maple Tree is like a family! Also, they have small class sizes with two teachers who are genuinely happy to greet each child every day. They recognize every child for their unique gifts. When we brought our child to Kindergarten screening the screener mentioned that they have noticed that Maple Tree grads are especially well prepared. We felt that our son was not ready for full days yet so half days at Maple Tree was truly a gift.

We've been delighted with the quality of education our children have received since transferring…read morehere from a private school. The teachers all seem to be engaged and there are music and art activities available. There are a couple of drawbacks. Their campus is too small. There is not enough space for the children to play outside and getting in and out of the parking lot creates massive headaches for anyone travelling down 3 Mile Rd. Class size is relatively large. Communication with parents isn't the best. It seems like there should be more information such as upcoming events or news on their website and there is precious little available. I couldn't check up on an event my children informed about and couldn't remember the details.

What a beautiful facility! I went to a play this weekend by Grand Rapids Christian High School and…read morewas incredibly impressed by this facility. The fact that something so beautiful is available to high school students is truly a blessing. The stage is huge, the lighting is professional, and there is even a place for the orchestra. I never knew this facility was available, and couldn't believe its beauty. This community is truly blessed.

I've chosen Rugrats as my daycare provider for over 10 years now. I don't know what the other…read morereview was referring to in terms of race, as Rugrats has had a diverse group of both students in staff through the entire time we've gone there. Yes, it's hard to get into a daycare center. It's hard to get into any daycare center. Rugrats has been flexible with our ever-changing schedules, have done my daughter's hair better than I could, pretty much potty trained both my children, and have taught my children lifelong lessons. Some of my greatest friendships have come from that center! I love them dearly!

I went to Camp O'Malley many years ago. My main memory of Camp O'Malley is from a morning at…read morebreakfast. I have never written about this before. From that breakfast to the present it would serve me well to forget. The counselor for that breakfast-believe it or not was a young man that actually lived just down the street from where I lived. I didn't know him but knew where he lived and he was also quite older than me. Through the food line they would give you WHAT to eat. I asked that they not give me any oatmeal. But they said I didn't have a choice. Being from a low income family the counselors thought that I would make a GOOD example if they would FORCE me to eat that breakfast oatmeal. Well that was very mean and after I gagged up in the bowl they worked twice as hard to make me eat that oatmeal. I know back then Camp O'Malley was supported by Police Departments. So it was my thoughts back then that amp O'Malley was closer to a military camp than a leisure, fun camp. So after that I have never had another bowl of oatmeal to this day. And just because I came from a low income family was no reason to force their will on me at such a young age. Also after that I never went to another camp. If I could go for less than 1 star I surely would.
