From the beginning the staff at la petite were very helpful and informative. My son had a bad first week to where he wasn't eating or napping and not used to his new schedule. His teachers reassured me this was normal and it would get better. Thankfully it did and Ms tawnie and ms destiny were so great with him. He absolutely loves them! He runs into daycare now and loves all the teachers there. I love the app they have and we can track his whole day. They let me know when he eats, goes to the bathroom and posts pictures of him as well. We love it!

My husband and I attended a production of "Legally Blonde" The Musical at Mt. Vernon high school…read more The play was well produced, and the actors and singers were great. It was hard for us to believe that we were watching a High School play. Some of the talent compared to those that play at Footlite. Some characters made us laugh out loud. Especially the UPS driver. Too funny. The high school on a whole was in great shape. Clean, good signage, parents and family members, students, were polite and welcoming. I had never been in this school, but the facility seemed to have it all. Game fields, tennis courts, marching band practice, theatre auditorium was comfortable and able to hear. We praise the staff involved in this presentation; you made your school proud.

I was a nervous first time mom and decided to take my child to daycare and was extremely sad to leave my little one (LO)! When I dropped her off they sent me videos and pictures to ease my nerves. I am able to nurse my LO during breaks and in the morning at the facilities. They also take my breast milk during the day so that my LO can continue with mommies milk. This daycare is HUGE on education and that is what eventually sold us. Ms. Pam (owner) is wonderful and is passionate about taking care of the kids! This daycare is a Level four on The FSSA Paths to Quality. The health & safety needs of the kids are met, it is an environment that supports the child's learning, there is planned curriculum that guides the child's development & school readiness and they are nationally accredited! There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for the awesome childcare my LO has. We can rest easy at work while our LO is safe and in a learning environment.

I've had the opportunity to collaborate with co-founder Kelly Dawn Jones several times and have…read morewitnessed firsthand her dedication to educating young children and her passion for making sure that early childhood education is quality, loving, evidence-based, and empowering. L.O.V.E., as she primarily refers to her program, is founded upon: Learning Opportunities Valuing Education She believes that the classroom is wherever a child may be. They're always learning. L.O.V.E. primarily uses the Reggio Emilia approach, developed by Loris Malaguzzi in Reggio Emilia, Italy. L.O.V.E. is dedicated to each child's ability to think critically to solve almost any problem given an attentive teacher, a prepared environment, and supported by a community that sees the whole individual child as significant and valuable to the world before him or her. They utilize movement, music, art, nature, investigation, and discovery to facilitate developmentally appropriate learning physically, cognitively, emotionally & socially. There are two L.O.V.E. locations - both are on the Southeast side of Indy with this location being the main location and corporate office. L.O.V.E. offers sliding scale and accepts CCDF, On My Way Pre-K, and Indy PSP. L.O.V.E. has been around for 9 years. In addition to its services specifically with children, L.O.V.E. co-founder (with her now retired mother) is a constant advocate for the children she serves and for early childhood education. You can find her following legislation impacting children (how I met her) and attending rallies on behalf of teachers. L.O.V.E. also trains and certifies a pool of substitute teachers who are then available citywide to early childhood centers in need. L.O.V.E. has a deep desire to positively impact Indy's Southeastside and has creatively adjusted to meet the needs of parents during the current pandemic. They are open Monday-Friday with hours adjusted according to the needs of the children they teach. Jones does remarkable work and her enthusiasm is contagious. She passes that on to the teachers she teaches and, in turn, they pass it on to the children. A wonderful gem on Indy's Southeastside, L.O.V.E. is an under-recognized option for early childhood education and the more I've learned about it the more I've been impressed.

It's sad when someone who has been entrusted with your child's care for almost 5 years violates…read moreyour child's privacy by putting them on the 5 o'clock news without your permission because their fight for equitable pay is more important than ensuring your child's safety! On top of that continually questions your parental authority! Enough was enough! Kelly-sole proprietor of Love Your Child's Care Childcare, LLC invited the news and didn't inform parents until less than an hour before it occurred then wasn't responsible enough to be on site to ensure kiddos privacy was maintained allowing WTHR-TV to then put unedited videos featuring my children on the news and web without any parental permission! They also put the sign in sheet with names of some of the children on said video as well! Now did they get it taken down as soon as possible, yes, but was the damage and the trust already broken......definitely! Then when all the parents are expressing their anger at her for allowing this to happen in the FB group chat she uses, I express my outrage and say she should have been there or should have rescheduled to ensure the kids were protected, and that it wasn't her teachers responsibility but hers as she's the one who scheduled the interview in the first place! So instead of taking the Criticism for her mistake in stride, she removes me and other parents from the chat because she doesn't like what we're saying! She then calls an impromptu emergency parent meeting at 10pm that night AFTER a parent earlier in the week had already requested one for other concerns (changing the hours with less than a weeks notice) which had been ignored and cries the entire time and instead of apologizing, goes on and on about why she's fighting so hard with Childcare Changemakers for childcare workers rights & wages, but I'm sorry, not at the expense of my child's rights or the rights of other children or their parents! I get it I do, but Not at the expense of the kids! Now Why didn't I immediately pull them? Well let's see, I don't have to answer that but for personal reasons! Partially though because Kelly does mainly behind the scenes now and doesn't do a lot of direct care anymore, she pays others to do that, so I still trusted those staff! But I did inform them immediately that I was searching for alternative care! Then today I get a message asking if their last day was Thursday! I'm like uh, no! I only informed you I was looking, not if a date we were leaving! Then it goes on about how they want to give my daughter a 'graduation' although they've been informed multiple times that although I'm trying to get her into kindergarten, there's no guarantee as she misses the cut off! I don't want to get her hopes up! So I ask, for multiple reasons, for them to do something private between her and them and to also write her a letter that I can put in her keepsake box to read when she's older! Instead of saying ok we will respect your request as parent, I'm questioned and completely & rudely told they don't accept that, that as her teachers for the last 5 years they have the right to celebrate her how they want! Well, sorry, you're not! I know im knew at this whole parenting thing as I just adopted my kids, BUT, questioning me every time I exert my parental authority, sorry that doesn't work for me! I don't care how much experience you have, it does not mean you know better than me for my own child! I will note we've had ongoing issue for about the last year and a half as was discussed during the recent emergency meeting. This was just the breaking point! This is on top of us making every sacrifice to NOT move them as these kiddos have had enough trauma in their lives and paying exorbitant fees on top of having CCDF! So sad to say our relationship with Love came to a sad end today and I had to immediately pull my children! Especially since none of the teachers want to talk to me and have apparently blocked me, a parent, on their main form of communication! Then Kelly wants to message me and has her settings so parent can't respond! Let's just say, Love & it's care is totally not what it used to be! I do NOT sadly recommend this program at this time! So many happy memories and such a sad ending! Those are the facts....you do with them what you will! So not only have my kids lost their teachers they love, they lost their godmom Kelly! This mom is just so devastated by the recent turn of events in our life! I wish the best for Kelly and staff!
