Dena's Day Care Ctr

My Grandchildren go here and they are complaining to me about staff holding them down while others hit them. My grandson said he is getting pinched and hit by a staff member that is only 18 they tell me. I have reported them to the authorities and am waiting on a reply from them as I speak. I told them to tell the staff that I was going to the athorities for the stafff to tell them that I couldn't do that and for them to shut up. How professional is this place, not very. I am told that other children have been removed due to poor behavior of the staff. I was also told that some staff have disorders of their own. My daughter is on welfare and was told to come here for where she lives. They may not be in business much longer after they are investigated. more

The State of Indiana requires that each staff member has a background check. In fact, it is one of the first things they look for, when they makes their physical checks of any licensed day care center. So no, a convicted felon could never work at any licensed child care center in Indiana. Nevertheless, after 30 years of caring for tens of thousands of children, they must be doing something right. In fact, i think that is the longest serving daycare in the city. As i went there when it first opened in 1974, and my daughter now takes my granddaughter there. Pros: family feel, everybody knows everybody Cons: older building more

I have been taking my son to Dena's for 2 weeks now. They have been nothing but wonderful to my son. I asked them about the previous review and was told what I already figured. They monitor my son closely and always know what is going on with him during the day. He is always happy to be dropped off and I have a hard time getting him to leave. I think that says more than anything else I could put into words. He hugs the teachers and they treat him with genuine affection. They are always glad to see him. I would recommend this daycare to any of my friends and family. Pros: variable hours Cons: must pay weekly instead of biweekly more
