Ms. Lonna with Little Hands Discovery Center holds a very special place in my husband and I'd hearts. When pregnant with our first child, finding a facility who we could trust to love on and care for our baby was our number one priority, and felt impossible and completely daunting at the time. However, as soon as we met with Ms. Lonna we felt instant relief, and so comforted by her warmth, care, and knowledge. Ms. Lonna provides not only excellent care for our (now two) children, but has also been a huge support to my husband and I in our parenting journey. Numerous times when we would share a concern or a question, Ms. Lonna had a recommendation or idea for us to try or think on. Her encouragement and support has been absolutely invaluable to us. It is a wonderful thing to see your child learn and grow, and we owe a lot of that to Ms. Lonna. Even through the uncertainties of living in a COVID world, Ms. Lonna was and is always very proactive and very cautious, keeping the health and safety of the children in her care a top priority. We would recommend Little Hands Discovery Center, and Ms. Lonna to anyone who is looking for a small and loving in-home daycare.

My husband and I couldn't of asked for someone better than Miss Lonna to look after our three littles. She is a kind, patient, and loving person. I knew that when my littles were with her they would be learning, having lots of fun, and being well cared after. She truly became part of our family and it was a heartbreaking day when we said our last goodbye.

Finding Ms. Lonna was the best thing that happened to me and my daughter. I was seeking a small setting with great care for my child while I went to work and we found it at Little Hands Discovery Center! We were there for 5+ years. Lonna is so warm, inviting, caring and so good to children. She reads books and sings songs with them. And she plays the ukulele! Also, after my child started preschool, she would take her on days that school was out or days that I just needed her! I could not have made it through those early years without Lonna! We just love her!

Our two children were under Miss Lonna's care at Little Hands Discovery Center for approximately 7-8 years, in total. When we were initially seeking a childcare provider, we interviewed a few, but as soon as we met Lonna she immediately felt like an extension of our family. And that's exactly what she became over the years. Lonna has a calm, soothing demeanor and truly loves your kids as her own. She takes this work seriously and makes handling multiple children (no more than 5, though!) look easy. Lonna has so much experience that she was often one step ahead of us in terms of our children's development and knowing what they needed to learn next. We loved that Little Hands Discovery Center focused on reading, music, nature and child-led discovery and learning. We were so fortunate to have found this gem of a childcare in Indianapolis and recommend it, without reservation, to anyone seeking a trusted childcare provider.
