““Tamika and Ms. Jen are amazing! They’re always caring, patient, and go above and beyond for the kids. You can really tell they love what they do — they make the place feel like family. Highly recommend!””

“I started my daughter at Dolce at just 11 weeks old. She is now 5 months old, and I just love everyone there. Marlene and Lauren are amazing. We love Miss Haley. All of the teachers prove every day how much they truly love and care for the kiddos. It makes me feel better dropping her off every morning before work knowing she’s in good hands.”

“We have had such a wonderful experience with the one-year-old class at this daycare. Both of the Mariahs in the classroom are truly amazing. They are so kind, patient, and genuinely caring with the children. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in the way they interact with each child every day.

I also want to recognize Ms. Isabel and the other teachers who are always willing to jump in and help when needed. It really feels like a team environment where everyone cares about the kids.

One of the things that has impressed me the most is how much my daughter has developed while being here. She comes home singing new songs, saying so many new words, and showing me things she’s learned that we haven’t worked on at home yet. It’s incredible to see how much she is learning and growing, and I truly believe it’s because of the love, attention, and teaching she receives from her teachers here at la petite.

I am so grateful for the care and dedication this team puts into the children every day. While I’m a little sad that we’ll soon be leaving the one-year-old classroom, I’m also excited to continue watching my daughter grow and learn as she moves up to the next class.”

“My daughter has been with Goddard for the past almost two years. Every teacher treats her as their own. They truly care for the kids and this isn’t only the teachers but also the directors, owner and kitchen staff.

There have been days my daughter will arrive to school with her hair not in the best shape and when I pick her up they will have her with the cutest hairdos. And the days she doesn’t want to let go at drop off they will take the time to make her feel loved and reassure her I’ll be back to pick her up. We also are a two language household and they have gone out of their way to try and understand her if she isn’t saying an English word.

We love Goddard School and the staff. We are very grateful that we can drop off our daughter and know she is in a safe and loving environment.”

“Gifted and Talented academy is wonderful. My child has just recently had to transition over to their facility and I must say I have ZERO complaints. Staff is very welcoming and patient with my child, I also love the fact that my child is actually learning work at the age of 4 and not just being baby sat. They are preparing her to get ready for preschool and kindergarten and I love it a lot!!! She is actually catching on and learning her work and she loves the fact that she has homework like her older siblings. We love Gifted and Talented Academy and will recommend everyone to give them a try.!!!”

“Finding me now has been nothing short of amazing for my 2 children who currently still attend. My children are learning something new every single day. We enjoy the way they keep the families engaged in what's going on at the center. They have great communication and a staff that is top tier. Finding Me Now is hands down the best place for my children.”

“Hug A Bear has been an absolute blessing for my family! My 3-year-old daughter has flourished under their care. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and dedicated to each child’s development. I’ve seen so much growth in my daughter’s social skills, learning, and confidence since she started here.

The facility is clean, organized, and always feels warm and welcoming. It’s clear that the teachers and staff truly care about the children and their well-being. I’m so thankful for everything they do for my daughter and the peace of mind they give me as a parent. Hug A Bear is amazing, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality childcare!”

“This KinderCare location is outstanding! My one year old grandson receives excellent care from the amazing staff there. The level of engagement in activities and learning in my grandson class exceeds my expectations! I can go to work knowing my grandson is safe and in good hands.”

“I honestly couldn’t ask for a better place for my baby. The staff is super sweet and caring. From the moment we started, I felt comfortable and at peace knowing he was in good hands. They also keep me in the loop with pictures and updates, which I really appreciate. As a mom, it feels so good knowing he’s safe, loved, and actually enjoys being there. Thank you to the whole team—you guys are truly a blessing!”

“There are some places that come and go in your life, and then there are places that leave a permanent mark on your heart—this is one of those places for me.

For nearly five years, I’ve had the opportunity and privilege to have many of the same kids since they were infants. I’ve watched them learn to crawl, take their first steps, say their first words, learn how to make friends, and slowly grow into the confident, curious, and kind children they are today—now getting ready to take their next big step into kindergarten. Being part of those early years is something that stays with you forever.

This isn’t just a preschool. It’s a place where children are genuinely loved, where they are safe to grow, to learn, and to be themselves. It’s a place where teachers pour their hearts into what they do every single day.

I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of something so meaningful—and even luckier to have been a small part of these children’s beginnings.

To my class- I am beyond proud of you and know you will do great things in this world! I know you will be the kind little humans that this world needs!

To my Parents- thank you for trusting me with your kids, whether it was for 5 years or this was your first year with me. I do not take for granted the trust it takes and for the impact I can have on their little minds!

Future Parents- the administrative team- Lauren, Hannah, Caty, Sharon, Justin, and Mollyanne are all truly amazing people with the kindest hearts. They are hands on and genuinely want what is best for your children. Leafspring will be the best decision you will make for your little ones!”

“The people at the front desk when you enter the Benjamin Harrison YMCA are so friendly and happy to see you. The instructors for the water and gym classes are knowledgeable and upbeat and there is always someone in the area where the cardio and strength equipment is to help you. It's the employees at the Y that make it a great place to work out!”

“We have been very happy with the Goddard School (Brooks School Road). It is the staff that makes it great there. The teachers at each level have been so amazing! You can tell they truly care for the kids. The front staff has been wonderful as well. We can’t thank them enough for the teaching and care our children have received.”

“To say I was overwhelmed and scared as a first time mom is an understatement. These ladies not only embraced my child, they also gave me a shoulder to lean on, and much needed laughs. Thank you ♥️”

“My 6month old goes here and she has the best care! It was a really hard transition going back to work but Tonya, Joann, and Olivia made it way easier. I would recommend this daycare to anyone. They treat your little one like family.”

“We transferred our kiddo from a different school last summer and the difference has been night and day! I can't say how truly happy we are at Primrose of Carmel. From the lesson plans to quality meal planning, we are so grateful to all the staff that make every day great!”

“Teddy Bear Day Care has been nothing short of an absolute gift to our family. The staff are warm, attentive, genuinely caring, and somehow manage to make every child feel deeply loved while also running an incredibly organized and thoughtful program.

The curriculum is beyond impressive ,engaging, age-appropriate, creative, and focused on helping kids truly grow socially, emotionally, and academically without losing the MAGIC of childhood. Every week we are amazed by what our children are learning and the confidence they are building.

One of the things we appreciate most is how practical and grounded their protocols are. Everything feels intentional, sensible, and centered around what is truly best for the children and families. Communication is clear, routines are consistent, and there’s such a strong sense of trust knowing our kids are in capable hands every single day.

Finding quality childcare can feel overwhelming, and honestly, discovering Teddy Bear Day Care feels like we won the lottery. We still have a couple more years here, and that makes us SO happy because this place has become such an important part of our family’s life.

To the entire staff: thank you for the love, patience, structure, laughter, and care you pour into these children every day. You are shaping little humans in the very best way, and we are endlessly grateful we found you. ❤️”

“We absolutely love Primrose School. From the moment we started, we’ve felt completely comfortable dropping off both our son and daughter each day. The teachers and staff are incredible, they create a warm, structured environment where our kids not only feel safe and loved but are also constantly learning and growing. We’re especially impressed by how they approach teaching and behavior. These early years are so important, and Primrose does an amazing job helping kids navigate big emotions, learn social skills, and become confident little individuals. They instill kindness, manners, and a real love of learning- all in a fun, age-appropriate way. The leadership and staff go above and beyond, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better daycare and early education experience. We’re so grateful to be part of the Primrose family!”

“My daughter has been going to this daycare since she was 6 weeks old and I can say I truly love the atmosphere. The teachers are very attentive and loving. I would recommend this center to anyone looking for childcare”

“Could not love IU health Day Early Learning more!!! We applied for the location as soon as I found out I was pregnant, and it’s been fantastic ever since our oldest started at 4 months (she is 5 now). The infant room teams really taught me so much about my babies because of all their years of experience. I am eternally grateful to all the staff there and all the teachers have a special place in my heart. If my kids are going to spend so much time with someone else, I wanted to make sure they felt like family. All the teachers and staff check that box. My girls have grown so much because of their time here and I can’t say enough good things about the center. They are so communicative, go above and beyond with their curriculums, and just love the kids in their care and take the role very seriously. Do not hesitate to join the family!!!”

“All the staff was amazing with my daughter. She was really nervous and she was scared when she first started going there. But all the staff made her feel comfortable and happy to be there. She loved going every single day. She would wake up early and get ready for school with no issues or any problems. She was always so excited about going to see the teachers and her friends. It was hard for her when she had to say goodbye to her friends and her teachers.
She has differently had flourished and came out of the shell she was in for sure. She talked about the staff all the time and how much they care for her. They were so supportive and caring and they all are amazing with the kids. I want to thank all of them for all of their hard work and dedication to all of the children. The compassion that you showed my daughter was amazing.
I want to Thank all of you for all that you do for the children, your amazing!!”

“We’ve had an amazing experience with this daycare! Evan and Brittany do such a great job creating a safe, welcoming, and caring environment for the kids and parents. Ms. Tessa and Ms. Shaneice are my kids favorite teacher! They are kind, patient, and truly care about every child. My kids love going every day, and I’m so grateful for the love and support our family has received here. My kids have been here for 3 years now and i cannot recommend this daycare enough to all of my friends and family!”

“We’ve had our children at North Indianapolis KinderCare for the past 2 years, and overall we are very happy with the experience. The teachers are kind, friendly, and truly caring toward the children. Our children always felt safe, happy, and loved there.

The environment is clean, safe, and well organized, with enough indoor space for learning and play, plus a nice outdoor playground for the kids to enjoy. Over the past two years, our children learned many new things, made wonderful memories, and genuinely loved spending time with the teachers.

One thing we were not fully satisfied with was that there were occasionally staffing shortages. However, we also noticed that the school worked hard to improve and manage the situation much better over time, which we really appreciated.

We especially want to thank all of the teachers for being so warm, patient, and loving with the kids. A special thank you to Miss Fran — such a sweet grandmotherly presence for the children. We truly loved having her around because it felt like the kids were able to spend their days close to a loving grandma figure, and that means a lot to our family.

Thank you again to everyone at KinderCare for taking such good care of our child over these past two years.”

“Ive been a COA parent for about 7 years and I have 3 children that attend. My kids love their teachers and have learned so much. We have built some awesome relationships throughout the years. I appreciate how they have worked with me through my daughter's behaviors and any concerns I have had, they were quickly addressed by the center director and corporate office. I feel that the staff care about the children and truly want the children to succeed. Huge shout out and thank you to Ms. Tori (director) Ms. Lekia, Ms Mariah, Ms. Tajah, Ms. Dyonna, Ms. Imani, Ms. Priscilla and Ms. D thank you for your love, patience and all that you do every single day❤️”
