I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Children were often allowed to do anything they want. Children hit one another with no consequences. Showed discriminatory hiring practices.

I love Ms. Jacki's childcare. She is fair to all the children with good attention on all. Very reasonable rates and flexibility.

This is by far the best childcare facility! They are more than fair when it comes to the children and their disapline is age appropriate. The workers are so kind and generous. I'm not sure how the responder before could say bullying...it's hard to say a 2 or 3 year old is a bully. It's a developmental thing. This facility loves each and every child as if they were their own. I would and have recommended this daycare to ANYONE...as long as you want a loving environment for your child ;)

This is the worst daycare in Chesterton. Children are treated unfairly. Discipline policy nonexistent and what discipline does occur is not consistent. Children are treated differently. Bullying occurs frequently--owner and workers do nothing. Infants are put in back room where it is cold, so their extremities become too cold. Horrible place. Bullies are allowed to bully.
