If you're a parent, you understand that at this point in Winter, everyone in the house is probably going stir crazy and you need a change of scenery! It is located in a strip mall in Carmel. There is plenty of parking in front of the building. We do live on the Southside so it was a 35-40 minute drive to get here. And when you have a toddler, that could make it or break it before you even get there! But we made it thankfully. It was $16.00 per child for 2 hours and the adults were free. I do think that is a high price and was one of the reasons why I gave them 4 stars. The other reason was the drive. For us Southsiders, it is a far drive especially when you have a screaming toddler in the backseat who does not want to be strapped down any longer. They do have a lot for kids! When you walk in, there is a baby/toddler area with smaller toys. Then there is a little drawing area and off to the sides there are plenty of little rooms for different children's needs. Whether they just need a time out, there's a room for that, whether they just want to play music, there's a room for that, whether they just need a dark, quiet room due to sensory overload, yep you guessed it, there's a room for that too. We spent most of our time in the back area with the swings and large trampoline. I would definitely recommend trying this place out! We had a great time and wish we had something like this for kids on the Southside.

Oh the Rivy! I have such fond memories of coming here growing up. Great location , large pool,…read morecomfortable environment. I came here with a friend recently for a swim in the pool. And it's the same great big pool I remember from when I was a kid. The reception area looks the same as it did back when I was a kid. I was a bit disappointed to see the bottom of the pool was exposed concrete with many cracks having been repaired with white epoxy seams. There was crumbled bits of concrete on the floor of the pool that I accidentally stepped on and felt like I was walking on rocks (OUCH). The locker room was okay, somewhat maze like, and could use a face lift. I went to take a shower after my dip and it ran cold to scalding with no opportunity for adjustment in between. Such a great location and facility. With so many possibilities.

The staff are amazing and Mr. Steve and Miss Tracy care deeply about the children they serve. Our daughter looked forward to going to Goddard each day and while it was hard for me to leave her at times, she was always excited to go into her class and see her friends and teachers! As a working parent there is no greater comfort than seeing your children excited about learning and excited to go to school each day. Thank you Mr. Steve, Miss Tracy, and the whole Goddard team!

It's just an ordinary daycare. Nothing special that I found after 1.5 half years of experience. My…read moreson started at 3 years old. Pros- Hot breakfast ($3.00 - extra charge per day) Pros - They are involved in several community events/family events throughout the year. Pros - Many toys to play with. Pros - Nice playground. Cons - When the class goes out for a recess, your child HAS to go out regardless of their condition - For example, my son wasn't sick (no fever), but he wasn't at his best condition to go out in a cold weather. I asked if he can stay inside but they strictly said that if the child is not in a good condition, one has to stay at home. As a working mom who can only take the days off at a true emergency, I felt so bad and sorry for my son. Cons - The carpet smells when it's raining. Cons - The teacher at 4 years old room (Octopus room) never ties my son's shoe laces. I ALWAYS find it loose and tied it when I get there. This shows how careless the teachers were. Cons - Activities are just okay. Nothing special. At first, I thought the curriculum is well structured, but it is nothing more than just an "activity".

They offer a huge variety of classes for all ages. I've taken the resin painting class as well as a nails and crafting class. Our daughter took the Fairy and Unicorn Summer camp this past summer and it was her favorite camp out of 5 summer camps. Line+form will be moving to a new location downtown in September so they'll be more accessible to people from all over the city. Don't let the drive dissuade you though. We live on the north side of Fishers and will definitely be attending many more classes in the future.

Our son (7mo now) has been going since he was 3mo old and I have peace of mind knowing he's well cared for in the infant room. They don't just put your baby in a bouncer and call it a day. They interact with the babies and give them age appropriate activities to make sure they're hitting their milestones and giving them love and attention. My daughter has loved all of her teachers and even grown a special bond with one of the teachers she's gotten to have in her infant room and her toddler room. It's the sweetest! The toddler room seems so fun for our new 2 year old with lots of arts and crafts and learning activities (she learned how to count to five in what seemed like a week)! They also have a Spanish class every day which I love. The new gym they recently added on is really nice for the kids during gym time- it's just like an elementary size school gym so lots of room for kids to get rid of energy. The building is well kept and they've been doing upgrades as needed- they just got new floors. The staff has always been very kind and helpful! Krista the director has been amazing! We get weekly lesson plans and a monthly newsletter with everything that'll be happening. I'm so happy my babies are safe and happy here, we love it!

We did the 20 minute semi private and it was a perfect amount of time. We did 2-3 lessons per week for about a month. It has worked wonders! Eric knows not only how to teach swimming, but how to work with little kids. Out of all the $ we have ever spent on our children, I can honestly say this was the best investment we have ever made. We will continue these lessons throughout the year to keep them comfortable.

She's grown to love the water and love her swim lessons.
