There is usually no parking at all and if the adjacent park is closed for the season I have no idea where you are suppose to put your car. This is the one major downside of this location. The facility themselves are quite clean albiet crowded at times on the weekend. There isn't too many places to sit down and wait for your kids to finish class. The pool itself is also smaller than other pools we have been to at other YMCA in Illinois. Overall I am happy we have not gotten a YMCA membership as it is not cheap and I can only imagine how it continues to be very crowded during the course of the week.

Haven't tried the new outdoor pool yet, but hope to make it before the summer is over.

This program failed my child. After enrolling my son, who has autism, I was informed that they…read morecould not accommodate him and he was removed. There was no clear explanation of what supports were attempted, nor any meaningful effort to collaborate with our family before making that decision. What made this experience even more upsetting was the behavior of the program's owner, Sharon. She was extremely unprofessional and spoke about my son, including making comments about his face, as if he were not present. As a parent, that was both disrespectful and deeply hurtful--especially considering my son's diagnosis. In addition, when I requested a written explanation outlining why my son was no longer allowed to attend, she refused to provide one. A program that claims to support children should be able to communicate clearly and respectfully with families, especially in situations like this. Families of children with additional needs deserve transparency, compassion, and a genuine commitment to inclusion. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. I strongly encourage other parents to ask detailed questions about how children with diverse needs are supported before enrolling.

She hired and nurtured teachers who understand the importance of consistency and structured learning. She also listens to parents and helps build an environment that fits the needs of your kids (we had a rough patch, and she, along with the teachers helped us through it!). If you want a preschool where your children are engaged, learning, happy, and excited to go to school every day, La Petite is the place to be! With these changes, my daughter has come out of her shell, and is excited to tell me about what she's learning in Ms. Sammi's class (also, my daughter's convinced Ms. Sammi's a princess and I have no reason to disagree!). The "new" La Petite is very much worth a visit!

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more This was our first foray into day care and my worst fears about being a working parent happened. From the get go things seemed fine, the Director was communicative and the virtual tour was fine. However, day one was horrendous. The center is not new which is fine, the workers are varying levels of engaged. Cleanliness is questionable... Concerns noted for some cooking equipment that was being blocked by a cart, chemicals in reach of kids, but then watching the cameras: the way they workers are swapped out and inconsistent treatment of children. My maternal senses knew something was off by the way my children were acting. Husband picked up our little guy who was off camera in a bathroom with a staff member. Son was screaming in pain. Came home to find markings on his back. Daughter had witnessed mistreatment (also advocated for her own mistreatment!) Case filed, did not return. Be aware.

So, when they get to the usual "school age", we all have to trust the teachers to continue the hard work that we have done since day 1. When I started looking into schools, I was very unimpressed by the selection that I had. I had toured 4 schools in the Fort Wayne area and not one stuck out to me. They were all the run of the mill, boring, mundane schools that focused on just getting through the day instead of really challenging the children... until I found Pine Hill. Just looking at their website got me excited! The amazing trips they went on, including meeting the mayor, visiting the historic Nickel Plate 765 steam engine, touring the art scene located in downtown Fort Wayne, all things I would LOVE to do as an adult! Every year they put on plays and many types of performances, which as SO dang cute and very well put together. Also, they are bilingual, all teachers are fluent in Spanish and they teach the children the children in both languages, making it so all the kids are fluent in both. Which is a GREAT skill to have (and great for resumes!) The student-teacher ratio is the best that I've come across in my search, making it so they get to know every student as an individual, which aides in their teaching style because they know what works and what doesn't for each student. Pine Hill is a great school, I am so grateful for the way they have helped my children grow and learn.

They lied about giving my daughter her Dr ordered medications. i would pick my daughter up and she would be so wheezy we'd spend the day/night in the ER. they lie about how much food your kid eats in a day.

This is not a place to send your infant. I noticed there were more bouncers/swings/walkers than…read morebabies. I nursed my daughter every day during my lunch break and I never saw her doing tummy time. It makes one question are they really doing as much tummy time that I am paying for? I was also concerned when I found her asleep on the bouncer one day. There is a lack of communication between management and staff members. On the first day, the teacher said that they did not know she was starting until 10pm the night before. That was the first red flag for me. I filled out the Indiana state form with her feeding schedule that she be fed every 3 hours which was not followed that first day as they fed her more than I asked. There is a lack of building partnership with new parents. Instead of coming alongside with parents to create partnership regarding goals of care for your individual baby, they like to dispense quick opinions/thoughts how to raise your child. For example, my daughter was going through a growth spurt and could have very well been wanting to cluster feed. Instead of calling me and asking if it is okay to use my frozen breast milk (as I had kindly written in front of the Ziploc bag and communicated beforehand in the Indiana state form for her feeding), they went ahead and made the decision to feed her anyway. They called me after they had already used my frozen breast milk. Then the following day, the same thing happened. They fed my 4-month-old daughter 8 ounces of breastmilk in less than a 2-hour time span without notifying me. I came there during my lunch break as usual to nurse her and noticed she was not hungry come to find she had no more bottles left for the afternoon. Per the teachers, they were following directions from the director to go ahead and feed her the second bottle because she had been crying for 2 hours when it sounded like she was simply overtired. I heard a different story from the director. Am I not paying for the skills to soothe her outside of feeding? Is feeding always the easiest resort? I expressed my concerns about my daughter being overfed via email and asked to meet in person to discuss further. I was told that there was no time for me to meet up that day and that they would look at their calendar. I gave her a week to look at her calendar and even sent another email to follow up. I never ended up getting an in-person meeting regarding my concerns. While I was told that there was no time for me to express my concerns, I was getting quick email responses that evening, being instructed as what's normal for my child. Maybe she meant it with good intention but I didn't feel I was being heard as a mother who knows her own child. Instead, the message that kept coming across is "I'm a mother of 4 and have breastfed all my children." along with her listing her credentials. As a first-time mom and breastfeeding, I did not appreciate the unwarranted advice about how I should expect my child to be growing/feeding nor the advice of increasing my milk supply. There was a lack of communication regarding billing and fees. As first-time parents, we would have appreciated a more thorough explanation about when to expect payment to be withdrawn, whether we could pay manually versus automatically withdrawn, and what are the actual fees/discounts applied. The paper given shows fees that are discounted for those who only use the daycare at certain time frames. That was not explained to us and we would not have known to ask because of how unclear the form was. This was another instance where we reached out, asking for an in-person meeting for the breakdown of fees. Again, we were told that there was no time to meet with us. Last but not least, the director is not readily available except via email. The director was either teaching a class or doing other work. There is no second person who is able to address administrative concerns or even parental concerns when she is unavailable. Communication is heavily reliant through their app or through email. Some matters are better communicated through in-person.
