I had an excellent career as an engineer, for a company in Michigan City. Then one day in July 2012, Wee Care Day Cares manager called me while I was on my way to work. She claimed that my daughter Jasmine had head lice. She insisted that I must immediately pick up my daughter. So I called my mother, and my sister; however, no family member was willing to deal with the head lice situation. Therefore I had no other choice but to call off work. I picked up my daughter, and immediately brought her to our family doctor. Both the doctor and nurse examined Jasmines hair and scalp, and concluded that Jasmine did not have head lice; SHE ONLY HAD DANDRUFF! Therefore, I brought my daughter back to the Wee Care Day Care, and presented the doctor note. The day care manager insisted that Jasmines doctor was wrong, and the manager re-examined my daughters hair! She then pointed out the dandruff flakes, and claimed that was HEAD LICE, AGAIN!!! This terrible situation cost me my job, and due to my job loss, and being a single parent (divorced) I had a struggle with paying my rent, and consequently we were evicted!!!

My family and I loved Wee Care Child development Center in Chesterton. My niece started going to Wee Care when she was 2 years old. The staff was amazing with her. They were friendly and loving and talked with her parents to find out what she was learning about. They worked with her as she transitioned from the twos to the threes. My niece bonded with all of the teachers and felt comfortable and loved. When her father was deployed, the teachers all reassured her that her daddy loved her and would be back to see her. When he did come home, they helped plan a surprise for her and made him feel welcomed! I have other nieces and nephews that will be attending as they are old enough. Thank you Wee Care!

This place is NAEYC-accredited, which made me want to try it out. The teachers are nice enough, but I never met or spoke with the director of the center, even after we withdrew from enrollment. Our causes for complaint mounted: toilets are consistently stinky; candy is given as reward for good behavior (and we were not informed of this until we saw it done); and videos were shown to the kids on other days than just Fridays as they claim. The center is a small building with no real partition between age groups --- the noise of one group can be heard by all groups. Now I feel that NAEYC-accreditation is not helpful to me in making a decision regarding whether to enroll my child.
