Our son just graduated from the STEM Pre-K program at CYC this past year. We were never less than…read morepleased with the quality of his care. His lead and assistant teachers were consistent throughout the year (no constant turnover and drama like we experienced at his previous center). The classrooms were spacious and well-equipped, and also serves as an instructional center for IUPUI students studying early education. We especially liked the STEM program as the class progressed through multi-week thematic units based on the children's current interests (e.g. simple machines, dinosaurs, castles, camping). Students use a blend of technology and tactile materials and toys, and our son was even able to read and comprehend short stories before leaving for kindergarten. There are a number of ways for parents to get involved as the classrooms go on numerous field trips and the center hosts family events and open houses. Class updates and pictures are provided via the Tadpoles app throughout the week. Parent conferences are held twice a year. The center is professionally managed by IUPUI and a friendly, new, hands-on director was just hired in spring of 2019. We would recommend the center to anyone working, studying, or living in the downtown area.

I would give this daycare zero stars if I could. I brought my 15 mo old son to this daycare for 2…read moredays as part of the drop-in option because I was traveling to Indianapolis for work. They are completely understaffed, in violation of the 5:1 ratio I was told they adhere to. And they had my 15 mo toddler in with the 2-3 year olds most of the time despite me being told when I booked that they had a separate toddler room and teacher. The second day I dropped him at 8:30 and there were 2 teachers for about 15 children total, all ages, not separated at all. Even though there are cameras, they were often out of view or not in the room. They were unresponsive to my messages on the app trying to check in. The food that was given was all processed garbage and I'm pretty sure my son didn't eat any of it either day. There were barely any toys in the 2-3s room and being understaffed with different ages, there's no way they were following the curriculum I was told they would be. The director was nowhere to be found either day and was sending all calls made from the main office line directly to voice mail when I was unable to get set up on the app by her AD on the first day. During drop-off and pick-up I observed older children being yelled at repeatedly and a few crying by themselves in corners with no adult comforting them or even checking on them. I cried dropping my son off both days but was stuck with no alternative childcare while out of town. What broke my heart was picking my son up around 2:30 pm on day two and he was just sitting in a chair clutching a teddy I had brought with him, just crying with no teacher paying attention to him at all, with a gross Kraft singles cheese slice sitting on the table in front of him. He was filthy and started sobbing when he saw me. I'm lucky my son didn't get hurt being put in with older children. He seems to have finally mostly recovered from the traumatic experience but for a week and a half after was having issues at my normal daycare at home in CT that he normally loves. I am STILL waiting on a call back from the district manager from when I called a week ago to voice my concerns. No one seems to care which is incredibly sad and disappointing. Do not bring your child here.

We came here for a tour on the recommendation of a colleague whose child was here from infancy through preschool. Like them, we have had a wonderful experience. The teachers and staff genuinely seem to care about the children, their well-being, and their development. My little one lights up when she realizes we're here in the morning and is always happy when I arrive to pick her up - what a gift for a parent! And the teachers are true partners with parents, working with the children on skills for their age and keeping parents informed about how their child is doing. If you are looking for a wonderful place to care for your child, this is a fabulous option!

I wouldn't recommend this Pre school to anybody looking for their child one to attend. My daughter…read morehas went here for 3 years of Pre school and the the last 2 have been the worst. She has been bullied and hurt by other kids and even hurt herself playing before and not once was I ever contacted about it and every time I would address the situation they would play it off and not take it seriously when their supposed to call and or leave a incident report in her backpack which was never done during the last 2 years the only teacher who would let you know was Mrs. Linda and shes the only one. They will ban you from their school if a parent complains on you for their kid putting hands on your kid. If you feel some type of way when some other kid keeps touching on your child and other children and you address it to them your word does not matter and they will not listen to your side of things & then they will get personal and argue with you about your personal life when that has nothing to do with school. They even had a child fall down a flight of stairs in their church and bled on their floor they did not even call that poor girl a ambulance they put her on a table to look at her and wait for the child's parent to contact the other when a ambulance should of been called they just don't want bad publicity on their school church.

Unfortunately, we had to move away, but she is always in my prayers of thanks for the foundation she laid with our family.
