Tutor Time of Okemos, Okemos | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My daughter actually chose this place out of several that we visited when she was 3. She had quietly left the other schools that we visited but as we were leaving our Tutor Time tour she said “I want to come back here!” I enrolled her immediately, and she’s been there for four years now.

What I loved most was the clear enthusiasm of the directors and staff. The fact that even the preschool, preppers and pre-k classrooms had a curriculum was appealing and they offered a private kindergarten class that allowed her to start kindergarten before she was technically old enough to attend in the public school. Once she finished their kindergarten I got to decide whether to have her do public school kindergarten or first grade. After several meeting with school officials, it was determined that she was more than ready for first grade, which was what she wanted to do. She just finished second grade and is doing great! She goes to Tutor Time in the morning and they bus her to school and pick her up after school. They help her with her homework too.

She goes to Tutor Time full time in the summer for their summer camp program. They students get to go on two field trips each week to places like the planetarium, the veterinary school at the university and the children’s science museum. She’s really happy there and I can relax and work knowing that she is in good hands all year round.

I cannot say enough good things about Tutor Time Okemos. My son initially had Ms. Liza and Ms. Alison and then Ms. Mary and Ms. Mai and they are all WONDERFUL. It was the first time my son was in daycare and they made it super easy and comfortable for all of us this transition, specially in such a hard year such as 2020 has been. Every time my son was sad they would be kind to him and try to cheer him up, send us messages through the app asking how could they help him feel better, they understood and respected that at home we do not speak English with him in order to preserve our culture and they even tried to speak some words in Spanish to make him more comfortable while in their care. My son NEVER came home upset, dirty or looking like he was not taken care of. Quite the opposite, he always came home happy, excited, telling us about his day and things he learned.
Their app is amazing. It makes it very easy for us to communicate with the teachers throughout the day and vice versa. It updates parents on exactly everything that is happing during the day, how much kids ate, when they went potty, the activities and as a bonus they send super cute photos of the kids during play time.
Management is really good as well and does a great job answering all questions fast. Thank you Ms. Angela and Ms. Melissa for that.
Meals are well balanced and kids love it.
