At JTots Childcare and Preschool, we strive to provide a safe, stable and stimulating environment for your child. Here are what just some of our parents have to say about JTots:
I just wanted to write a note to say that Jeff and I have been so happy bringing Matthew to JTots. Maggie provides such a loving, environment for Matthew and the other infants in the crib room. I feel such relief at work knowing that my son is receiving excellent care while I am away.
Thank You, Jacqueline
JTots was recommended to us by a neighbor and we were impressed by the staff and facility, so we decided to enroll our children with some trepidation and the expectation that there would be a difficult transition period and lots of tears.
We were pleasantly surprised that not only did the children respond positively, but the transition was very smooth. JTots staff worked hard to ensure that we felt comfortable when we left and picked up or sons.
We rapidly grew found of the staff and continue to be impressed by their dedication and nurturing environment they provide. The low turn over rate of the staff also speaks highly to the commitment of the owner/management and the positive work environment. We would highly recommend JTots to anyone considering daycare.

I am writing to let you know how much we appreciate Kelly and the care she provides to George and Elyse. Although neither George nor Elyse is in Toddler One any longer, they visit Kelly each evening. Choosing a child care provider as a new mother is a very daunting responsibility, however if one is fortunate enough to find one that provides a loving and nurturing environment, it provides a mother with tremendous comfort and relief knowing that her child will flourish even in her absence. I recognize that I was fortunate to find JTots.

When I think of the many providers who have cared for my children at JTots over the years, it brings back so many fond memories. It always amazes anyone when I tell them that there are a number of the same people who cared for RJ starting back in 1996 still at JTots taking care of Bridget (2009).

It will be with a heavy heart that we leave JTots this fall. Logan will truly miss all of his teachers there, especially Maureen and Felicia. I do know, however, that the education and support he has received there will give him the jump start for Kindergarten. We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful facility you provide for kids and all the amazing staff! Without question, you are the BEST!
Kristin
We just wanted to say "thank you" for being such a good caregiver for Lily. As new parents, we were very anxious about leaving our baby with strangers. It was hard for me to go back to work, but we quickly saw how wonderful you are with Lily. You have such an important job and you do it amazingly!
Aaron and Sara
We would like to thank you and the staff for providing a quality, well run, safe and fun preschool/daycare. We appreciate your flexibility with scheduling and won't hesitate to recommend JTots in the future.
Don and Sheryl
Thank you for making Darin's day so much fun. In a few days, Darin was able to go from being upset at the morning drop-offs to being very excited about all of his daily experiences. From sharing with his friends to playing Lucky Ducks to learning his colors and shapes, our little "Jabberwocky" has learned so much from PS1. Thanks for all the wonderful experience.

Dear Students, Staff, and Parents:
It is my pleasure to acknowledge the proceeds from the Kate Nagle Princess Fundraiser. What a thoughtful event to honor Kate.
When I heard about the fundraiser at JTots my first thought was how is Kate doing? How is her family? I soon realized that through your creativity and thoughtfulness, Kate and her family know that each one of you cares and that each student, staff, and parent wished to make a difference in the lives of other cancer patients by participating in this fundraiser. Your event proceeds to the Pediatric Cancer Program will help us better understand genetic mechanisms underlying neuroblastoma, acute leukemia, and brain tumors.
We are honored to receive your support. On behalf of all of us at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, please share our sincere thank you and appreciation to all who made the Kate Nagel Princess Fundraiser a success.
With gratitude,
Debra L. Griffith
Director of Development

Thank you very much for everything you did in helping us in the growth and education of our daughter Giulia. She has grown so much and has learned so many things. Please, extend this BIG thank you to all the teachers who have worked with Kelly (T1) for the growth and education of Giulia.
We strongly appreciate your work!!
Sincerely, Francesa and Marco
Thank You so much for working with us this year and last. Things have been up and down and it's been extremely comforting to know that our children's childcare schedule has remained consistent. Both Ashlee and Mason love their providers at JTots and the growth we have seen in both of them has been amazing. Please know how much we appreciate you working with us! You guys are the Best!!

Kyler has thoroughly enjoyed his time at JTots and we have enjoyed his being there. It was a pleasure watching him progress through the different classes and to see the different teaching styles. We have and will continue to recommend JTots to other parents. We wish you continued success.
Thank You,

I am sorry that we have been so slow in communicating with you. With all of the care that Kate requires, the days just seem to get away from me. I can't believe that six months have already passed since she was diagnosed.
I wanted to reach out and let you know how much all of the notes, gifts and posts from you mean to us. Thanks for taking the time to brighten Kate's day. This has hands down been the most difficult year we have ever faced. Thank you for all of your support, wishes and prayers. They have helped us out during some of the toughest moments. During the process Kate has gone from being such a socialized kid to being so very sheltered and isolated from the world. She very much misses her JTots friends and teachers. Thank you for showing Kate that she is still remembered and missed.
The good news is that she is responding very well to treatments and is now considered to be close to remission. We still have many hurdles to clear in her treatment but for now are feeling positive about Kate's progress. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
Love to All
Karin
Dear Paul and Alexis
This is just a note to let you know how happy we are with Lily's progress lately. Kelly has done an amazing job working with Lily on her speech and language development and we are so happy with how far she has come. She is learning so many new words, songs, concepts, and skills and we really appreciate all of the care and attention Kelly and Lisa have given her. She loves coming to school and sometimes doesn't want to go home and that along with everything she is learning about the world and socializing with others is wonderful!
Thank you to you and your staff!

Dear Paul:
I want to thank you for all the years of quality care that Lauryn has received.
During her Kindergarten orientation she really impressed the teachers with her knowledge of letters and numbers as well as her handwriting, speaking and social skills. I contribute her success to her years at JTOTS.
Again, I want to thank everyone at JTOTS for all the attention and care Lauryn has received.
Warmest Regards,
Erin
Dear Laura, Teresa and Kelly
We just wanted to send you a thank you note saying how much we appreciate the care you give our son Gabriele.
On March 22nd when we walked in with Gabe, we were worried seeing him cry his heart out. Today you guys have done miracles with him. He loves to go to JTOTS everyday and spend the day with all of you. He has also learned a lot of good things like good manners, eating good and lot other good things.
Thanks you for all the help in raising our son Gabe. We would also like to thank all the staff who take turns in toddler two.
Sincerely, Jude and Neeraja
Laura and Teresa
We'd like to thank you so much for making Niklas' Daycare days to real special days for him. He'd loved coming to JTots and especially to Toddler 2. We can't count the days when we picked him up and he cried in the car "More Daycare!". He'll really miss his friends and Miss "Lola" and Teresa. You did a great job! Thank you so much and all the best for you.

I do want to take this time to thank you. Jackson has grown so much in the last year at JTots. He came to you so shy and now he has come into his own with confidence and has met many friends. He now even, at times, can be too outgoing and rambunctious. We treasure the songs he comes home singing that he has learned in his classroom. I also want to thank you for being so willing o work with us and being flexible with Jackson's condition. This was a major concern when we were searching for a daycare. You and your staff were very open to learning the ways to care for Jackson specifically, and I can't that you enough. You have my deep appreciation.
Our family is expecting a new addition at the end of February. We are hoping that our new little one will attend JTots in the fall.
Best wishes to you and your family. Have a wonderful year! Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Tammy H.

To: All of our Teachers/Friends at J-Tots Childcare and Preschool
From: The Warner Family
After 11 years, and 4 children who've moved from the Crib Room through Pre-School 3, it is a bittersweet moment to say good bye to you all at J-Tots. We are excited to see Sabrina enter Kindergarten (and to no longer write a monthly tuition payment!). We are also sad to be leaving all of you who have been so much a part of the life of our family.
You have earned our confidence and respect with your organization, professionalism, patience, cleanliness, frankness, receptiveness, and joy in teaching our children. Our children have enjoyed coming to J-Tots, learning, and making friends. With our busy life we appreciate being able to count on you!
We value the stability of J-Tots teachers and staff and consider ourselves very lucky that many of the homeroom teachers have been there the entire time that we have: Maggie in the Crib Room, to Maureen in Pre-School 3, to Angie in the Kitchen, and many others in between.
Our three older children were very will prepared for Kindergarten and beyond (we believe our fourth has been as well), with all the skills and knowledge they obtained at J-Tots, for which we Thank You!
We look back fondly on many of our favorite things:
Halloween Costume Party, Mothers Day Ice Cream Social, Father's Day Breakfast, WATER DAYS!, Sledding in the snow, Ground Hog Day Projects, Butterfly experiment, Computers on Tuesday, Focal Point Photos taken on-site, and Graduation.
You've also worked with us on the things all kids must learn (i.e. Potty training).
We've been a reference for years, and are happy to have you share this note with other families considering J-Tots for their children.
We will miss you!
Maureen, Mike, Olivia, Ana, Zach and Sabrina

It is not possible to fully express my appreciation for the care you provide for Billy at JTOTS. I am grateful that my son has such a warm/nurturing environment in which to grow, while away from home. It is also absolutely wonderful knowing that he is so well-cared for and safe, so I can focus on school while he is with you! I genuinely hope that your holiday season is blessed with God's love and light.
Thank you so much!
Dawn and Billy
Kelly,
We wanted to thank you for all the love and care you've given to our family over the years, and espically to Ryan over the last few months. Both Anna and Ryan flourished so much in your room, and it's obvious to us how much fun they had along with all of the learning and growth. It can be a tough age, and we wonder how you can manage a whole room of them :) We really love all of the art projects Ryan has brought home, and the memory book you gave us at Christmas is wonderful. We will treasure it more and more as Ryan gets older. You've been a special part of our time at JTots, and certainly a reason we trust our kids there! Thanks for everything and I'm sure we'll be back to say hi!
Ryan, Anna, Stephanie and Mike
Dear Paul and Alexis,
This year at Jtots were special in Matias and Manuel lifes. For sure we will think of you very often. Whenever you plan some vacation to Europe you know where to stay..in Germany.
Thanks!
Pablo, Matias, Brenda and Manuel.
Paul, Alexis and the entire JTots Staff
We just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the wonderful care you have provided for our son throughout the years. Logan has absolutely loved every day he has spent at JTots and actually had tears in his eyes as we drove home after his last day. He has loved all of his teachers and all of the friends he has made and has come away with an abundance of knowledge. You provide parents with total peace of mind, which is a priceless gift. Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work. We wish all of you the best!
Sincerely, Jessica and Rick
Paul, Alexis and the entire J-Tots Staff,
It is very bittersweet as we leave J-Tots today. The girls have been taken care of wonderfully the past two and a half years by you all. You've shown them lots of love and taught them so many things. We appreciate all your hard work. We hate to be leaving, but feel it's important for Juliet to begin building relationships with her future schoolmates. Hopefully, we'll be able to stop by on occasions so you can see the girls.
Thank you again!
Sharon, Jeff, Juliet and Kate
Dear Paul and Alexis June 28, 2011
We wanted to thank you and your staff for keeping both Ryan and Julia safe during their respective times at JTots. We cannot tell you how much we've appreciated your patience, understanding, and genuine caring for our children. In addition, the instruction that Julia and Ryan both recieved from your outstanding teachers better prepared them for kindergarten and Hillside Elementary. In fact, Julia, who will be the fourth grade in the fall, still sings songs and remembers games and events that she participated in at JTots.
We are planning to attend the ceremony for JTots "graduates" in August. Although it is sad to leave, we know that Julia and Ryan's lives have been enhanced by their experience at your school. We truly appreciate the years that we have been a part of the JTots "family."
Thanks Again, John and Ellen
Paul and Alexis August 2011
Thank you for the gift certifictae to Focal Point. We went and had Alison and Sam's Picture taken and they turned out great! I asked Ann to bring in your copy of Alison's picture. I hope you guys are doing well. We certainly miss JTots, because we started there with Alison we didn't appreciate how much better it is then all the rest. Thanks again for eveything!
Dawn and Denny
Dear Paul, Alexis, and Therese, 11/1/2011
Although we are so excited about our upcoming adventure, we are also so sad that we cannot take JTots wherever we go! It took viewing 12 different centers before we found JTots, and we are so glad that we did! David has had nothing but good times at JTots, and we love how he heads home singing new songs and counting higher all the time. We feel JTots is such a perfect balance of education, fun, and love! Please feel free to use our family as a reference if ever needed-we have nothing but good things to say about David's times at JTots.
Sincerely, Charlene and David
Follow-up from Charlene and David: January 24, 2012
Greetings from California, we finally made it here! We are in the process of getting settled at this point, but things are going well :) We had David in school in Chicago and now one here...but nothing compares to the love and quality care he recieved at JTots-we were so blessed to have spent time with you all! We will surely bring David by when we are in town next!
