Description: Bethany Daycare & Preschool, a daycare in Indianapolis, is an outreach ministry of Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church. Our daycare in Indianapolis operates as a Registered Daycare Ministry authorized by the State of Indiana. We are proud to be a PATHS TO QUALITY – LEVEL 3 provider. We have been caring for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years since 1997.
Our goal is to provide for children a quality daycare in Indianapolis that has a loving, Christian atmosphere. We strive to prepare each child with a strong educational foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
