I thought someone already gave you this one but here is my vote!
Discovery School at Smithfield Methodist Church.
I live in Saginaw and it is not far for me. You live closer than I do. My husband is in education and I was a preschool teacher for the last three years. I am pretty hard to please. After a month of research, I narrowed it down to a list of about 10 preschools. My husband and I looked toured six different highly recommended programs in the area off our list and really liked this one the most. My daughter is four but did not turn 4 until December 3, so she is in one of the three year old classes.
I did not want day care. I did not want just Mothers Day Out. I did not want to pay a 200.00 a WEEK for a few days of real preschool. I wanted something affordable but I also wanted everything the unaffordable schools offered.
Discovery School is a Christian Preschool accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. NAEYC is the largest and most respected early childhood organization in the nation. I felt at home the minute I met the director and my daughter left a wonderful program so it had to be special. She loves it. I am impressed and very happy with my choice.
