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.

With learning and with our preschoolers just to keep them entertained and learning we have them on ABC mouse so we are like tutors and educators!

ABC Academy is a school. We do not like the words &quot;daycare&quot;. The main difference between ABC Academy and an elementary school is curriculum. We can't teach algebra to four year olds, nor can they sit that long to try. We have been in business for 14 years and educated well over a thousand children of this community. We specialize in education and socialization. We have degree teachers who have been with ABC for an average of 9 years. Some teachers since we opened the doors. We provide breakfast, lunch and two snacks daily, from the federal food program menu. All learning materials are covered by tuition. No hidden fees. Two large playground allows children to get out of their room twice everyday. There are video monitors recording all activities that can be viewed at any time. A parent can see what happened 10 minutes ago or ten days ago. That is peace of mind. A daily report card lets parents be involved everyday to what has happened at school. Reports are filled out for any incident or accident, no matter how minor. There is testing and parent - teacher conferences, just like in public school. We have holiday programs and class pictures. Never make an appointment for a tour just stop in. Located on hospital grounds at ST. Mary's medical campus.
