Preschool & Childcare Center Serving Oakland County, Macomb County and all of Metro Detroit. Dr. Tamara's mom, Sue-Anne Hayes, lovingly known as Miss Sue, used to lead tours and was an integral part of the pre-K program. She motivated and inspired everyone from the children to team members and is sorely missed since she transitioned in 2018.
Founded by a naturopath doctor, your child's lifestyle habits are a priority and boost early learning. Your child runs, jumps, and plays with friends every day, strengthening muscles and social skills. A delicious vegetarian menu is all the rage regardless of at-home habits, giving your child the nutrition they need.
With dedicated and loyal teachers, your child sees the same faces throughout their pre-school journey and enjoys the security of being familiar and comfortable with their caregivers. An emphasis on health, safety, and security throughout the center allows your little one to play, learn, and thrive uninterrupted while you enjoy peace of mind, knowing they're in safe hands.

Good day all. My experience from the start with Joyful tots has been wonderful. Miss Traci and Dr Tammy are amazing. Everything is kid first period from proper nutrition to overall development. They take great care of my little girl . If I leave instructions regarding anything they listen and follow. They offer great information and instructions if you need anything. They are very quick to respond to you and they communicate whether it's ,procare text ,email etc. I would highly recommend this childcare facility .
Keep up the great work.

Since my daughter has been enrolled, the staff at Joyful Tots have been very helpful and informative. I can tell my daughter is very comfortable there because she'll literally rush me whenever its time to drop her off. They are professional, welcoming, and responsive. She's definitely going to be a Joyful graduate in a few years!

My son started here after my maternity leave at 3 months, currently still attends at 16 months. Joyful Tots has been a wonderful childcare experience for a new mom. The staff is wonderful, and really care about the growth and development of the children that attend. I am so happy we found joyful and I know my son is too.

My child has been going to Joyful Tots since they were 6 months old. I have always felt very comfortable leaving her in their hands while I had to work. The staff is amazing! You can tell that they truly care about all of the children in their care. They also emphasize clean eating and feed the children nutritious foods that the kids love! Dr. Tammy Jefferson, the director is always present and available. She truly is amazing. Joyful has been a blessing to our family and I am so glad we found it. I highly recommend to anyone!

We have been part of the Joyful family for over two years and we couldn't be happier. We love the structure, unique learning opportunities, family engagement, and experiences they provide. Dr. Tammy and the staff do everything than can to provide a rich and nurturing environment for the kids (and families!).
We are so glad we found Joyful! We will miss them when our son starts kindergarten in the fall.

My son absolutely loves attending Joyful Tots! He has grown so much since he was first enrolled. I would recommend Joyful to anyone looking for a quality childcare center. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the center is very clean. I’m very happy that my son has found a school he loves.

Joyful Tots provides a great learning environment for our child. As we met more parents, we were impressed that many had more than one child attend (older children had “graduated” from JT to primary school and younger siblings were now attending). This was a welcomed, unsolicited reference that eased our decision to move from home care to a childcare facility. The staff are helpful, professional and nurturing. They also treat the children with respect while balancing all of the personalities and emotions that come with caring for children.

Joyful Tots is a very clean and fragrant daycare facility. The healthy food and programming are dynamic. Ms. Tammy, the owner, is honest. I can appreciate her for that. She told us during our orientation that Joyful Tots is not for every family, which later became true for my family. Our son no longer attends this daycare, but I am grateful that we were able to try it out all the same.
We found a place that's just right for our family! Parenting certainly takes a community 🤗

I have known the owner, Tamara, for years. She is very professional and she has gone above and beyond to make sure the children are fed organic vegetarian meals that ingredients come from their garden. I have never seen a preschool put that much care into every aspect of a child’s environment. She has put so much effort into self development, is highly educated and highly respected in the business community. Do understand that due to the unique offerings of Joyful Tots there is usually a waiting list to get in. I highly recommend Joyful Tots to my clients. This place is a true asset to their
