* Foot Note for July 29, 2014 *
Over the next few days the transformation of the entire site will be amazing. Our Contractors and the Little Feet Staff have been working inside and out, night and day.
This is going to be incredible, the residents of Carmel and the whole of Putnam County are watching us and supporting us. We are proud to be bringing this much needed Childcare Center to OUR COMMUNITY.
Parking Lots and Roadway Resurfacing are scheduled for next week. Personal Tours are on going day, night and weekends. If you would be interested please contact us, our classrooms are filling up quickly. Our waiting list for expecting parents in early 2015 has been started.
Grass is growing in our playground and once our fencing is installed we can get set to play!
As of today, Water is running and Security Systems have been installed. Asphalt work has begun, roadways will be paved with a week. Concrete walkways will begin as well.
Exterior lighting is in progress and will allow the building to be seen clear across Lake Gleneida.
We have authorized full construction of our Outdoor Playground. Within this 2000 Sq Ft Area we will be providing a variety of surfaces for the children to explore. For Ride on Toys and Sidewalk Chalk Writing we will have a wonderful Hardscape of Asphalt for play. A dual Softscape will exist with approximately 1000 Sq Ft of Grass for the children to play surrounding an area with Wood Chips filled with toys for playtime and fun.

To date, Little Feet Childcare Center is now registered at 48% of our capacity with both our Administrative and Teacher staff in place for our Grand Opening.

We are now conducting Private Individual Tours of the Center, Once you have viewed our facility, rest assured, you will not want to leave!!!
It has been determined that all of our curbing within the entire site will be paved with Belgium Block. This along with the stone walls which have been built by our masons are going to be an amazing addition to site.
At that time you will receive an exclusive tour of your new Center and the surrounding site. This will also be an opportunity to meet each other all of the children along with our entire staff, Administration, Teachers and Assistant Teachers.
Everyone in town is talking about us and we look forward to meeting everyone at that time.

We have been working until dark every night working out the most incredible floor design for the Center. Upon entering our atrium, the colors, the patterns, the detail that you will experience is nothing less than breath taking. These patterns flow into the lobby and thru the hallways of both our north and south wings in order to draw the children into each classroom. And once you enter the rooms, the combination of wall colors and floor patterns, we promise will make even the parents want to stay all day.
Our Kitchen Cabinets and Counter Tops have been installed along with our Class Room Cabinetry
