Gifted and Talented East is the best daycare my children have been to since I moved to Indiana in 2017. My kids actually learn and don’t play all day like other facilities. They actually have a curriculum, parent teacher conferences, and give them homework. It helps them prepare for actual school. Ms. Tamika, Ms. Jazmyn, Ms. Dee Dee, and Mr. Charles have made their mark in my children’s lives and I’m forever grateful. All the staff are AMAZING, but they have a special place in my heart how they love on my babies. Thank you 🙏🏽.

I love gifted and talented for the patient and how excited the teachers get when they talk about educating the kids! The politeness and how they greet everyone when you walk in you can feel the family connection you have with them. I love how much they are involved and well driven they are wanting to see my child grow. Thank you for seeing us and including us with everything that is plan out for us! Sincerely Wilkerson family
