Starting Line Preschool
S tarting Line preschool

Carmel, IN 46o32
My name is Diane Atkins, I have lived in Carmel since 1972 and for the last 17 years have owned and
operated the Starting Line Pre School here in town. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the building we
are in being sold, I am going to have to move the Starting Line and that is what brings me before you
today. We will be moving, if approved, from our current location at 575 W. Carmel Dr. to our new home
at 110 3rd Ave NE. This is a house that will need some renovation to accommodate our needs as a
school. A few of the changes that will need to be made that will be visible from the outside are the
installation of a circle drive to facilitate pick up and drop off. We would also be fencing in the back and
side yard to give us a secure and safe play area for the children and I would like to place a sign in the
front corner of the lot so it would face both 1 street and 3 avenue.
We have classes 5 days a week from 9 to 11:30am for children ages 2 -5.
The 2 years olds meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9- 11:30am
The 3 year olds meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9- 11:30am
The 4/5 year olds meet on Monday thru Thursday from 9- 11:30am
There is also an enrichment class and a Pre -K class offered Monday thru Thursday 11:30 -2
For more information on the school or any of the programs offered please visit our website;
www.startinglinepreschool.com. If you cannot find the answers to your questions there please feel free
to contact me directly by email dkatkins22@msn.com or on my cell phone at 317 753 -6148.
I look forward to meeting with you and the future of The Starting Line Preschool here in Carmel.
Statement of Support
The Starting Line Preschool has been in the Carmel Community
for that past 17 years. We focus on getting young children off to
the right start in their educational journey. Due to our current
location being sold, we have to find another home. After finding
this location at the edge of a cozy neighborhood that is kid
friendly, I think it will be perfect and we are close to other
educational facilities. The house has all the amenities that our
preschool requires. The traffic and parking needs are also met at
this location.
