Parent Reviews
Where do I even begin?! We have been bringing our children to Cathy for almost a decade, on and off, and we’re now on our THIRD child with her! I I think that alone should tell you how much we absolutely love this woman! Cathy is so much more than a daycare provider. She has become a dear friend and truly feels like part of our family. There is something incredibly special about dropping your children off and knowing, without a single doubt, that they are going to be loved, nurtured, protected, and cared for just as well as they would be at home. And honestly, some days I think she does a better job than I do! And they’re not just being babysat! Cathy makes sure the kids are learning, playing, creating, and doing activities that help them grow. I love knowing that my children are spending their days doing things that are fun, engaging, and educational while also learning how to interact with others, build friendships, and develop important life skills. She creates such a loving, welcoming environment where kids can truly be kids while learning along the way. One of the things I love most about Cathy is her heart. She is a woman of strong Christian faith, and while you certainly don’t have to share her beliefs to feel welcomed and loved in her home, her faith shines through in the way she treats people. She has prayed for me, my children, and our family through so many different seasons of life. That kind of genuine love and investment in a family goes so far beyond what anyone could ever expect from a childcare provider. Over the years, she has celebrated our children’s milestones, helped them learn and grow, loved them through all their different stages, and become someone we trust wholeheartedly with the people who mean the absolute most to us. I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about Cathy. Finding someone you trust to care for your children is one thing. Finding someone who teaches them, encourages them, loves them like they’re her own, and becomes a treasured friend nearly a decade later? That is something truly special. If you’re looking for someone to love your babies, help them learn and grow, and make them feel right at home while you can’t be there, I cannot recommend Cathy enough. We absolutely adore her, and I am so thankful God brought her into our lives!
We absolutely love Miss Cathy! She has been such a blessing to our family and we couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our 2 yr old son. She is so loving, patient, and genuinely cares about the kids she watches. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he is in such good hands every day. Her daycare truly feels like a second home to him, and that means everything to us as parents. We are so thankful for Miss Cathy and all the love and care she puts into what she does. We couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️
I truly loved my experience at this daycare. The small, intimate setting was perfect for my daughter, it felt like a second home. She is always happy to be there and even asks to stay longer at pickup. Miss Cathy is such a lovely and thoughtful teacher too, she genuinely cares for the kids. I also really appreciated the preschool curriculum she incorporates. My daughter learned so much, made friends, and grew in ways I’m forever grateful for. Highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and educational environment in Fishers!
Cathy is phenomenal and one of the most nurturing and caring individuals we’ve had the privilege to get to know. My oldest daughter attended Cathy’s daycare for over 2 years. She would’ve been there longer if it weren’t for our family having to move cities. After having my kids in various preschools/daycares after the move, I can confidently say Cathy’s was THE BEST experience for child and parent. Cathy is caring, nurturing, and provides a stimulating environment with engaging and various activities (indoor and outdoor, individual and group). She cares for and loves the kids as if they were her own. She provides a consistent routine, and always had such a positive, and caring attitude. The environment was clean, safe, and my daughter still remembers her wonderful cooking and meals! She became like family to us and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our child.
Cathy's Cottage was truly a blessing for our family. We moved here from out of state and walking into Cathy's home just felt right. I wanted my son to be in an environment that felt like home, where he would be loved and where he would thrive. Cathy taught him so much, he is now in kindergarten and is doing amazing and I believe it is because of Miss Cathy!
We are so grateful for our time at Cathy’s daycare. Cathy was such a gift to our family during our time in Fishers—her care, kindness, and patience truly come from the heart. Our children made wonderful friends and always felt loved and safe there. We are forever thankful for Cathy and the foundation she helped build for our children.
My 2 year old attends Cathy’s daycare and loves it. We appreciate Cathy so much.
My son who is now 11 was cared / pre schooled by Ms. Cathy since he was 2.5 to 5 years of age until he went to kindergarten. He was well FED which was important to me since he is vegetarian she met my requirements. House is clean and cleaner each time. She has vast knowledge about kids and their needs. She take cares of them like her own. Her Curriculum for Pre school also matches the standards for the school systems. Also, I am expecting new baby Due Dec 2025 and I am planning to send my baby once he or she is 6 months to 1 year old to Ms Cathy again.
All 3 of my kids went to Cathy’s. My oldest started when she was 2, and my younger 2 started as just babies when I returned to work from maternity leave. My youngest is now 8 and talks about how much she still loves and misses Miss Cathy! Cathy pours her love into her daycare kiddos! She definitely still holds a special place in our family and we couldn’t be more grateful for her loving on our kids!
If you’re looking for a safe, loving place for your babies, Cathy’s Cottage is the perfect choice! Both of my kids go here, and they absolutely love it. Every day feels like joining a big, happy family. Cathy has such a genuine love for the kids and takes the time to nurture their growth and confidence. We’ve seen such positive changes in our little ones since they started. We often say if we had known about Cathy when our oldest was little, he would have gone here too! We’re so grateful for the care, kindness, and love she pours into what she does.
