Your child’s educational journey at Dolce Early Learning Center in Fishers, Indiana.

At Dolce Early Learning Center located in Fishers, Indiana, we understand what families want most: a safe, loving environment where children are truly known and cared for. That’s why we provide exceptional childcare for children from infants to school-age, all in one convenient location designed with families in mind.

Our experienced team is dedicated to helping your child thrive at every stage. In our infant program, babies are cared for by consistent, loving caregivers who focus on comfort, routine, and developmental support. As your child grows, they’ll transition into our toddler program, where age-appropriate learning and play spark confidence, independence, and curiosity.

For older children, we offer after-school programs and exciting summer camps that blend learning and fun through enriching activities, homework support, and plenty of time to connect with friends.

Located in the heart of Fishers, our center makes it easy for busy families to access trusted, high-quality care. Join our childcare community and experience the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is in a place where they can grow, learn, and shine with confidence.

Meet Our Director

My name is Marlene Watkins, and I am honored to serve as the Center Director at Dolce Early Learning Center. With more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education, my journey has taken me from classroom teacher to team lead, education specialist, assistant director, and, for the past 13 years, center director. These roles have given me a deep understanding of what it takes to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can truly flourish.

I grew up in Starkville, Mississippi, as one of seven siblings, and today I am blessed with four children and a large extended family. My upbringing taught me the value of connection, compassion, and community—principles I carry into my work every day.

I believe strongly in the power of unity. It takes a village to raise a child, and I am committed to helping build the strong roots every child needs to thrive. At Dolce, I am excited to partner with families and staff to create a community where every child feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.
