Polly Panda Preschool 2944 East 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46220

"Our daughter's experience at Polly Panda has been excellent. We chose "Polly" in part because we had several close friends whose children loved their time here. We also appreciated the flexible pickup and dropoff schedule when needed (early mornings and pickup by 6pm). For a preschool, an industry with a ton of turnover, we really like how experienced and committed the staff is. The result is a no nonsense, well-established preschool that is very smoothly run with a 39 year history. Shannon and Tammy do a good job of communicating important information and are quick to answer questions. Days are reasonably structured with plenty of open playtime, but also regular arts & crafts activities, playground time, group reading times, optional martial arts, etc. Most importantly, our daughter looks forward to going to Polly to see her teachers Ms. Carmen and Ms. April and her friends. We feel comfortable knowing that she is in a safe and nurturing environment."

"Both Polly Panda and Bridgeford Kindergarten were the safe and comfortable home of learning that became the foundation for my very successful sons. They look back twenty-five years ago and remember the cozy home environment, the fantastic back deck, front yard play ground, the Little 500 tradition, the alphabet wedding of Q and U, and ohhh so many story books that became favorites that had to be read over and over... Our family cannot thank Marsha and her staff family for giving us all such wonderful, loving, caring, positive memories!!!"

"We have sent both of our kids to Polly Panda, one from 2 years old onward, and the other from 12 weeks till the present. The staff is friendly and responsive, and many of them have been there for a very long time. I really feel like there is good oversight over the entire daycare: they've made the effort to be part of the Paths to Quality program, and get audited each year. We are proud to be part of the Polly Panda family."

"Everything was fine with this daycare until covid started in March last year. They sent an email asking if you can keep your child at home the better, but they still want to charge you when your child is not going there at all! How is that possible? We try to work with them and even offer to pay a fee to save our daughter's spot in the daycare, but that wasn't enough. Unfortunately if you want a money hungry daycare for your kid this is the place to go."

"We’ve only been at Polly Panda a short time, but I am so glad we found this school. The teachers are caring, experienced, and well qualified. My son loves it there!"
