We have had 2 kids at ES and it’s just wonderful! The teachers have all become part of our family and we have no reservations recommending it to anyone looking for a safe, reliable childcare facility that loves your child too.
I strongly recommend parents find a different daycare for their child. I've been in a lot of daycares as part of my job and I don't know how they have four keystone stars. The infant room and the young toddler room don't have windows. Not only is it sad that the children don't see any sunlight all day, it's also a fire hazard. This is supposed to be the daycare to send your kid to if they have any disabilities, in my observations, many of the teachers and aides don't know how to interact with disabled children and I could see the discomfort in their body language. It was disheartening. There had been some excellent teachers there in the past but they have left. The playground isn't very wheelchair accessible and is hard for kids with gait trainers and walkers to maneuver through. If you do send your child there, pack them a lunch. The food served does not appeal to children and definitely isn't nutritious. One good thing I have to say is the therapists there are phenomenal. If you want your kid in full time daycare and want to get the best therapists, the IU can pick them up and drop them off at your chosen daycare. My supervisor highly recommends Childspace (I do too, but I worked there for several years so I'm biased,) Hortz Woods and the Bennett center are also good and serve good food. I've also heard a lot of positive things about OLV, but haven't been in there.
I question anyone rating this place less than 5 stars...the most caring and loving facility around for kiddos. The lives of both us and our children have been made infinitely better thanks to the love and attention provided at Easter Seals Child Development Center. Kudos to you all!
My son goes here and he's made enormous strides since he attended. The people are great too and clearly care about the children on a one-on-one basis. I highly recommend this place.
My son started today my daughter loves her teachers very friendly and family oriented ... Adore this place. The love and care they provide is wonderful !
