Hi, I'm La Tanya and I'm happy to be here at Care. I am a wife and mother of four almost grown boys. Child care has been a part of my life for more than ten years and I've loved being a part of budding young sprout's development. I had the opportunity to run and operate a child care center from my home in Hawaii over seen by the U.S. Military/Navy. I really enjoyed that experience and wanted to share what I learned so I wrote a book titled "Their First Day". Since then I've earned my Bachelors Degree in Fashion Design/Apparel, launched my own fashion line,traveled, Co taught in several local schools, dabbled in Interior Design with a well known Chicago Land Co. and all while taking care of my family. I am now at a more relaxed part in my life where I am ready to re-open my child care center earning my credentials from the State of Indiana, to begin more adventures and make more wonderful connections.

We are a family owned daycare with little or no turnover. We have been operating since 1981. Currently over 34 years. We used to be private to St. Margaret Mercy employees, but we have currently opened up some spots to the public. We strive in your child's well-being and education. Let the fun begin with your child at Tom Thumb Child Care. We have had many second generation children. Let us share in your child's care. The program we offer is a wide variety of experiences for each child, of course some will be more individualized than others, but all will be related to the child's day to day experiences as a member of a group. The children will learn that though each person is an individual and unique in his own way, people are a member of a group and have to operate and live their lives as a member of a group. We will provide for the individual playtime and crafts as well as activities which will require the team effort of many children. Physical as well as mental activities will be abundant throughout the center for each child. We want to provide a creative, constructive, safe and loving environment for the children in which they can grow, develop and learn within.
