Preschool
The Discovery Center has been located on the west side of Ann Arbor since its founding in 1974. Jacki Miller began her dream of providing high-quality early childhood programs at the center s original location on North Maple Road. In 1984, the center moved to its current facility on South Maple Road that was designed and built to house our programs. The new building gave us the opportunity to expand the center s offerings to three full-day preschool classrooms, a half-day preschool program, and a new kindergarten program. In 2003, we renovated and further expanded our facilities with the addition of a new large motor/gym space, basement storage area, larger parking lot, and fourth full-day preschool classroom. The Discovery Center has been an accredited program through the National Association for the Education of Young Children since 1993. The Miller family continues to own and operate The Discovery Center in collaboration with the administrative and teaching staff of the center.The mission of The Discovery Center is to provide a high-quality early childhood experience for young children. In order to achieve this, The Discovery Center strives to provide an environment where each child is able to approach optimum physical, social, emotional, aesthetic, and intellectual growth. The classroom environment encourages each child to explore "discovery centers" set up by the staff and to participate in a full range of activities occurring throughout the day. The program is enhanced by outside specialists who provide Spanish, music, and story telling enrichment activities. Our curriculum has been developed by our staff of professional educators to be consistent with the center s philosophy. Some areas of the curriculum stressed by The Discovery Center are dramatic play, creative art, music, science and nature, math activities, stories and books, self-help skills, world awareness, communication skills, creative movement, social/emotional skills, and outdoor play. Within this framework, the staff works toward providing an optimum amount of attention, affection, stimulation, independence, novelty, and choice of activities for each child. We offer both half day and full day preschool programs and young 5 program options.

Good Start Home Child Care

2150 Tessmer Rd. Ann Arbor, MI

< 1 mi

I am an active grandmother who recently retired early to help care for my 3-year-old granddaughter in my home. I would love to have another child or two for her to play with, as I believe social interaction is just as vital to a child's development as education. I have completed classes in education while working on my Bachelor's degree, and am CPR/First Aid certified. I provide snacks and lunch. I provide a comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment that encourages exploration and discovery as well as routine and structure, while fostering individual expression and development. My daughter is a certified teacher (pre-K and elementary), and will be collaborating with me to ensure a rich and individualized educational experience. I believe that learning is best achieved through play and exploration. At this age, I feel kids should be allowed to be kids. I truly enjoy children, and have raised 2 lovely children of my own. I would love the opportunity to be a part of your child's life!

May's Chinese/English Child Development House Mastering multiple languages is becoming more and more important in this very competitive and ever-globalizing world. Since China has the fastest growing economy in the world, the Chinese language has become one of the fastest growing foreign languages here. Learning a new language is much easier for kids than it is for adults. So, that's why we open a Chinese/English bilingual day care to help young children build brighter futures. Although Chinese language learning is the focus of the program, we offer a developmentally age-appropriate balanced curriculum (approved by college professors), which incorporates speaking, reading, mathematical, and critical thinking skills. The character building activities enhance your child's self-esteem and encourage good moral habits. By providing high-quality child care, May and her assistant teachers will well prepare your child for entering kindergarten and future successes. This is a group child care, which is located in a quiet, safe, and nice neighborhood with spacious living and yard/play areas. We welcome children from all ethnic families, including full/part timers, and before/after school kids. May's Profile: * Bachelor degree in education. * Master degree candidate of the EMU early childhood education program. * A professional Chinese school language teacher and an experienced child care provider with more than 17 years teaching and child care providing experience. * Certificates of CPR/AED and First Aid. * One of the Chinese version editors for "Safer Sleep for Infants" program video of Washtenaw Area Council for Children. * Member of NAFCC (National Association for Family Child Care) and NABE (National Association for Bilingual Education).

Other facts: * We have adequate, varied, and age-appropriate equipment and materials for playing and educational activities * Our snacks and lunches conform with the regulation of USDA food program * Teacher-child ratios: 1:2 - 1:6. Small group sizes and low children-staff ratios mean lots of individual attention * Hours: 6:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. * We have a big, shaded, and organic (we never use chemicals there) backyard. * We often use a very powerful steam cleaner (MRY7910 Royal Procision Carpet Shampooer and Extractor) to clean the floor. * Mallets Creek Public Library, Cobble Stone Farm, Buhr Park, Rose Park, and County Farm Park are all within five minutes walking distance. When the weather is good, we can often go to attend the library's preschool events, visit the famous farm, and have field trips in the parks. We bought a six-seat stroller just for this purpose. * Location: SE of Ann Arbor (near the intersection of Packard St. and E. Eisenhower Pky), area code: 48104 Thank you for your time!
