The following is what I ran across. Does anyone have any information that is contradictory? In the state of Indiana, a daycare is exactly that, a daycare. Indiana state law classifies a daycare as an establishment that provides care for children 6 yrs and younger. even if the center follows a curriculum, it is not a school. A "daycare" operated by a church, is almost always a childcare ministry, not a day care, and therefore is not required to be licensed by the state, nor is it a an actual daycare or a school. To be such, it would have to be licensed as such. So the answer to your question is no its not.
As clarification, pre-school is not actually a school either, it is a descriptive term under indiana state law and does not require any licensing or regulation, unless they recieve state or federal funding. It is a very convoluted sytem to say the least.
So what does all of this mean ? Basically, a daycare is neither a public nor private school in any sense of the word school, nor is it a parochial school even if it is run by a church. Therefore, concealed carry would be no different than carrying at walmart.
