I have spent a handful of time in this facility as I am a professional who sometimes serves children in the childcare setting. I would rate this daycare as one of the worse I have seen. I would NOT recommend it to anybody.

This daycare is HORRIBLE. My children have been seriously injured there. They completely started to refuse to go inside. I had to carry them in kicking and screaming. They do not adequately supervise these children. Go to www.in.gov and under the family and health search them in the childcare providers and READ the list of the things that the State of Indiana saw while they did their inspection. Those are the things caught on those days, now imagine what happens on the other days........
