We have had two kiddos at SNEL over the years 4 and recommend it highly. They care for and love the students. It’s truly an early learning center with fun and enriching activities!
Yes we love it here ! 😊
Our son spent 8 months in the Dolphin room (the infant room) and we were very satisfied with the care that he received at SNEL. His lead teacher in the Dolphin room, Veronica, was so great and really took time to get to know him. His teachers were always very attentive and sent us pictures several times a week. We are sad that we had to leave SNEL recently due to changes in our work schedule but would gladly send our son back to SNEL.
Our baby girl has been in the infant room for over 3 months now and gets excited the moment she gets dropped off. With having to make a switch in childcare on short notice, the director Kay was super helpful in helping us get a spot quickly and provided lots of helpful info on the phone to prepare for the transition. The teachers in the infant room (as well as the rest of the staff) are always very kind & caring, diligent at logging her activities on the app as well as responding to our messages. They also are to keen to notice and ask when something seems a bit off with her (extra fussy, might be getting sick, etc.) I love hearing recommendations of what toys she loves to play with and what books she is really interested in that week. They post cute photos of her several times a week on the app which is so precious. They are always diligent about feeding her at the right time intervals (based on when she last ate before drop off). Only caveat to other new parents is that our baby gal takes shorter/fewer naps at daycare compared to home, but I think that is common with daycare setting especially in infant rooms where all babies are on such different schedules and my gal is always eager to play.
I was initially interested in this daycare and was told there was availability on Tuesday November 12th. I provided my email & phone number for follow-up, understanding how busy things can get, but the director never reached out or answered my attempts to follow up. After a while, I stopped trying, as it felt like a red flag. If they can’t follow up during the initial stages, I’d worry about their responsiveness if an issue arose while my child was in their care. It also made me question whether they might be selective about the families they work with, which raises concerns about inclusivity.
Enjoyed Grandparent's Day and meeting all the littles in our granddaughter's class. What a group of cuties! Thank you Tamika, Miss Pam and Lurlee. Of course it doesn't happen without Miss Kay!
My child gets lots of love and play at St. Nicholas. The classroom and administrative staff are warm and approachable, and seem to enjoy their jobs. Inner-city Indianapolis has a limited number of early childhood options outside of in-home daycare (not that those can't be quality; they just aren't for everyone), and St. Nicholas has been high quality.
2nd home for my child - regular updates via an app - can't wait to send our 2nd here
We could not be more happy with the care our daughter receives at St. Nicholas Early Learning, Inc. She has been attending for almost a year and absolutely loves to go to her "school." All the staff know her and welcome her every morning - those who she spends time in her classroom with and those who are in other rooms. The older kid teacher is AMAZING - we cannot say enough about how much we love her. The director is always available if needed. It will be very hard for us to move her on to 4 year old preschool when the time comes. Thank you St. Nicholas staff!
St. Nicholas has been a wonderful early learning center for our little girl! She adores her teachers and has thrived in their nurturing and dynamic environment. It's a great place and I'm so grateful we've been able to have a child there.
