The men running this place are money hungry and are only in an "urban" environment for the vouchers.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Education depot is a little patch of Heaven in the Indianapolis area. One of the main things that stands out about them is their compassion, not only for the kiddos, but for the parents as well. I have had my fair share of troubles this year and they've not only been helpful, but have also held out their hand, their ear, and advice. My son does not cry when I drop him off, he actually will grab my hand and want me to sit with him and enjoy the activities that he does daily too, he is eager to share his experience with mommy! I absolutely love both his teachers and they genuinely love Noah too. I feed him breakfast every morning before we drop off and if he comes in asking to eat they still feed him their own breakfast as well. When Noah first started he was barely saying 20 words, now he is speaking in sentences and is so much more outgoing than he was before! They constantly do artwork with them, there is outside play everyday, there is free time, circle time, and something I love so much is that they encourage the parents to be a part of their children's time at Education Depot. They encourage you to stop in for lunch and water day, they throw parties for mommies and daddies on their holiday, there is active parent participation that is encouraged on a daily basis. I have also noticed that each teacher knows every single child whether they're in their class or not, as well as their health and nutrition needs. Noah is to only drink Almond milk and it seems like every teacher/employee knows this and I love that! Education Depot also has an amazing security system that they watch around the clock and address any safety concerns right away as and if they come along. Another cool feature is that they have a camera system set up for parents that allows you to check in on your child throughout the day that has sound, so you can listen to your child laugh and play with his/her friends, it's a joy especially during a rather stressful day at work. Education Depot has been outstanding and I am so happy that we were able to find a place that really cared not only for Noah but for myself as the parent and my needs as well, they listen, they care and they're amazing (the entire staff). Couldn't ask for better child care. Special Thanks to Glenn, Autumn, Ms. Diane, and Ms. Sabrina.
