I dont wish negative on people but to all my Indiana friends on here. Child Enrichment Center is not the place to enroll your kids. Within the 4 months i worked there all my kids were sick to the point of hospitalization for my youngest. The 1st day there was an accident because the teacher wouldnt let them potty. Then aurorah told me her teacher knocked over her blocks and laughed about it. Come to find out other teachers saw and told me as well. There was a child who was MIXED and have a condition. Well his hands were purple and the owner ignored because her WHITE hands were purple as well. There also was a child who starter peelinh the inside of his lip till the point he would bleed because he was told no. When discussed it was ignore and we were told his nose was bleeding ????????????????. The owner is very money hungry and will not tell the parents the truth about their kids behavior. There were 3 staff that i would trust with my kids the rest no. If your child gets hurt and theres no mark you wont know unless the teacher tells you because FRAN will not. Im not trying to run anything but i will let other parents know the truth. you are trusting them with your children's lifes
