“Ms.Laura from the Elkhart location 5s class is the best teacher and very engaged with my kid. She’s learned a lot of curriculum from being in her class and getting kindergarten level education, and always a step ahead of other teachers. We love her and growing kids”
“Our family temporarily relocated to South Bend this past year with our now 5- and 3-year-old children, and to be honest, we were incredibly anxious about how the transition would impact them. We feel so unbelievably fortunate to have found East Bank Learning Center—it quickly became a second home for our kids and a source of comfort and reassurance for us as parents.
From day one, the teachers and staff at EBLC showed such kindness, patience, and understanding. Our children have unique needs, and the team was always available, supportive, and willing to meet them where they were. It made all the difference. We also felt welcomed by the broader EBLC community—other parents and children who made us feel like we belonged.
Leaving South Bend was incredibly emotional but Lisa and the entire EBLC team not only gave our children everything they needed during this important stage of their lives—they also made our transition back home a little easier by sending us off with love and care.
We are truly grateful for the warmth, dedication, and support you showed our family. Thank you for being such a bright light in our lives during this chapter. We will never forget it!”

“We have been with them for about 6 months and they have been encouraging and professional in the care of our child. Indoor gym time when the weather is bad is a huge plus for energetic kids. Would recommend 100%”
“Tom has been an awesome wealth of knowledge and a HUGE help in training, and overcoming some behavioral issues our German Shepherd has. We like the fact that classes are one on one, rather than a group setting, which would not work well for our dog.We can’t recommend Tom and TLC Canine enough! His wife Darlene is also a pleasure to talk to on the phone whenever I’ve had to call. ?”
“Daughter has been going there for a couple month's, she seems to enjoy it. Thanks to main street and playing outside, they say summer are really fun. Get to play in the water, she'll love it even more.”

“I went and had my hair cut by Tori a couple months ago and she is the sweetest girl ever we talked about everything and I love my hair cut I went back today for a perm and yes I requested Tori and and just as before we had a very long talk my hair is down to my waist and she did an awesome job with the perm it turned out perfect I'm sad that she only has 3 weeks left of her schooling before graduation and then she will be in 3 rivers to far for me to travel but I wish her well in her career keep up the good job and good luck. Never be nervous because you got this.”

“I am a parent who has been terrified of sending my children to a daycare instead of a sitter that I personally know and my kids know... I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and this is their second day...This place is one of the most amazing places with a great staff around the board...they use an app that keeps you updated ALL day from potty breaks to snack time to recess and nap time...one of my favorite things is they will take pictures and post them to your account as well so you can see the fun your kids are having and give you a piece of mind to know they are in good hands...I would give this place more stars if they would let me because they exceeded my expectations by far...Want to be at ease with where your children are at while your at work then this is the place... My kids didn't cry their first day and today they couldn't get out of the car fast enough...they love it and so do i”
“I absolutely love La Petite! All of my children have attended this daycare at one point or another and I wouldn’t want them anywhere else. Ms. Dawn and Ms. Sue are two of my favorites, always providing me with daily updates and also loving my child like their very own. I appreciate all of the wonderful ladies in the daycare as they all play an important role in my child’s care and safety. The pictures throughout the day and the live footage are a plus as well! I highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Friends Early Learning Center. Clara Stalvey, the owner is a caring and very approachable person. Dani Lawrence as the new Director, is always present and very supportive of her staff, the children, and their families. She is a welcome addition! Congratulations to the great staff at Friends on maintaining the highest, Level 4, Paths to Quality rating.”
“All 3 of our children have gone through this school. I always say our children are our biggest investment and this is an investment I am proud of. Our kids who have graduated still run in and give Mr. BJ a hug. Highly recommend!”
