  • Bottom line: They don’t seem to have enough staff to handle things We booked a tour here and the calls are handled through automated system and you don’t speak with a person. After several attempts, a person contacted us to schedule. We scheduled a tour with them only for us to wait for half an hour outside their first door where we rang the bell 10 times+ per the sign. While waiting, We get another phone call from the person who I believe was the scheduler. We then mentioned that we have been waiting outside the door with no response from their team, they finally sent one of the staff members to open the door and asked us to wait outside another door. We waited for about 15 minutes again to see if someone would greet us while we heard children scream crying through the door. we decided to leave after all the red flags. For others wanting to book with them, be aware of their processes using AI on phone calls for any questions and the staffing levels as they cannot seem to handle a basic tour that was scheduled 2 weeks before.

  • I'm so glad that I found Joyful Tots - Farmington. They are more than just a childcare facility... they are like family. Upon registering my daughter, I was nervous to leave her in the hands of someone I did not know. But after her first day there, I felt more at ease. And now, I'm totally in awe of how much my daughter has developed and blossomed by being in their care. At the start of each day she is excited about going to be with her teachers and friends. And at the end of each day, she loves to share the new things she has learned, explored and experienced. The staff at Joyful Tots - Farmington are caring, patient, and exhibit a high degree of professionalism. I can rest assured that my child is receiving high quality care, guidance, education, proper rest & nutrition, and most importantly love!

  • I'd give the Joyful team ten stars if I could. Our toddler son has been enrolled at the Farmington Hills location for over a year and is part of its inaugural class. The ultimate litmus test I use for the quality of a childcare center is a simple question: Is my kid happy to go to school? At Joyful, the answer is a resounding yes. I love that when I drop him off in the mornings, he dives right into playing with his friends as I recede into the background. His confidence and independence? I attribute that to the trifecta of personal attributes, hopeful parenting, and his stellar education at Joyful. From the start, the curriculum and care he receives from his teachers has contributed to his cognitive, motor, and socio-emotional skills blossoming beyond our expectations. Also worth noting is the beautiful and safe location of the center at the historic Nardin Park Church. You can count on Joyful for its expansive security and cleanliness measures. Other big plusses: the leadership's investment in staff's professional development as well as low turnover; the multitude of community events; healthy, vegetarian meal options; and a steady flow of resources for families across diverse affordability levels and backgrounds. If you're looking for childcare, I'm happy to recommend Joyful Tots.

  • We have been here since they have first opened this location and my child loves it here. He’s always excited to see his teachers & their class buddies.

  • We absolutely love this daycare center! From day one, we have felt incredibly supported and welcomed from the owner and all staff. The center is truly family-centered, focusing on building foundational life skills for our children. They emphasize health with a well-thought-out vegetarian diet that shows their genuine care for the well-being of the kids. Communication with the staff is always timely and stellar. We appreciate the energy and positivity we experience at both drop-off and pick-up times. The atmosphere is friendly and never feels rushed, making it a comfortable and reassuring place for our child to spend their day. Our child will be attending this daycare until they reach school age, as it truly feels like an extension of our family. We love receiving updates through the app, which keep us informed and connected. The center's diet plan is designed to support brain development, which is fantastic. The classrooms are small, ensuring that each child gets the attention and care they need. Sanitary and health practices are top-notch, with temperature checks and shoe removal policies in place. The staff is well-informed, educated, and genuinely dedicated to the development of the kids. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend this daycare center to any family looking for a supportive, health-focused, and caring environment for their children.
