A good number of you have responded with your favorite preschools... here's what you said:
-We love Noah's Ark preschool at Dutton Christian School!
-I'm sending my son to Immanuel Saint James Preschool this coming year and am super excited. The teacher is wonderful and I have several friends who have sent their children there and recommend it. They are also one of the lowest-priced preschools in the area for a parochial school. -Michelle
- Enchanted Forest: It is 3yr old pre-k program that allows kids to wear pull-ups. The ladies there are amazing, like dropping your kids off at grandmas! They also have play groups & drop-in day care. We love them!
-St. Mark Lutheran School & Preschool: They have a 3yr, 4yr & young 5’s program. The staff is also amazing.
-Oakdale Christian School has an AMAZING preschool program taught by certified Christian teachers. They offer a ton of different options - all day every day, half days, full days but just a few days a week, etc. They have WONDERFUL teachers who implement best practices in early childhood education and do wonderful projects and field trips with the kids! -Liz

- I always recommend this little known 3 year old preschool, Enchanted Forest, to all parents. I came across this little gem one day driving by the Spectrum Health South location, at 68th and Division. They have a suite located on the main floor. First of all, you may also want to include it on your site as a licensed drop in daycare spot. They are available for you to use them for a few hours if you have a Dr appt (on, or off site), and sometimes other small errands if they aren’t busy. Because they are licensed for that, they have the facility to change diapers. So they offer 3 year old preschool also (kids don’t need to be potty trained to attend) that offers your regular 3 yr old curriculum and basic social skills. They even have an outdoor, fenced playground area. They have the most nuturing, loving staff of women (whom are all Grandmas themselves). My oldest 2 boys have both attended and we have used the drop in care also. I highly recommend, and will plan on sending my 3rd son there when the time comes.
-I also Duncan Lake Early Childhood Center in Caledonia, we have only used for 4 yr old preschool per above but both boy have attended here as well. - Donna
