If you are looking for daycare near Miller or Gary, the honest first fact is that The Meadow is in Hobart, at 939 S. Wisconsin St. That will not fit every family. For some, though, an eastward Hobart stop makes more sense than a city-only search, especially if early hours or infant availability are part of the decision.
The Meadow is opening this December for children ages 6 weeks to about 3 years old. We offer infant, toddler, and twos care with a full 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM day.
