First Steps is one of the programs provided in this building. Its a pity some people think that its just a place for dropping kids so they can learn. This is a place for parent involvement, kids can really enhance their skills WITH the assistance of parents by using a huge variety of resources that this preschool offers. First Steps classes are also full of interesting ideas and its a program constantly challenging itself. Just check Jump into Speech classes!, they are great for kids starting to talk. First Steps is far from an independent class and its not like a playgroup at the public library since its not driven by a storyteller in a open auditorium. The staff is quite good, professional. This building also host Early Childhood Special Education Classes, the Early-On program and regular preschool classes for low income families. Its true that kids are allowed to play even when its cold but my experience is that most of the kids keep themselves warm by running and jumping at the playground. These are Michigan kids! For most of the kids, gloves and warm clothes are provided while playing but many of them dont use them.

Took our toddler for a class there, WAY over priced for what you get.. all they do is play with toys in a room... which is what they can do in a free play group or those free classes at the library.. which honestly they will learn more in at the library. they get together for some songs at the end or quick story but very quick.. was hoping for more interaction.. teaching going on from teachers to help our children excel aside from what we teach at home. For the money we paid for him to take a class there. this is not a class, your just paying for a play group. stay clear of this place. Also when it was super freezing out my husband and I noticed they had the preschoolers out playing when it was way to cold to be outside, it was very windy and below 32 degrees out. I wouldnt want my child playing out in that.. We will not be putting him there for preschool either.
