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.

Anthony says "Finding the right place and person to watch over your children is crucial. The people over at Their First day have everything you could possibly ask for...
