Our mission
A new pattern for early childhood care.
Our mission is to provide exceptional early learning that nurtures children's curiosity, supports families, and strengthens our community.
To accomplish that, we're committed to:
- Providing high-quality, year-round early learning for infants through three-year-olds.
- Creating classrooms where children from every background learn, play, and grow together.
- Expanding access to high-quality early education through scholarships, need-based tuition support and CCDF participation.
- Investing in exceptional educators with the resources and support they need to thrive.
- Fostering curiosity, creativity, confidence and a lifelong love of learning through a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach.
- Building lasting partnerships that help children, families and our neighborhood flourish.
Because when children thrive, families thrive. And when families thrive, our entire community grows stronger.
Love of Neighbor
Every child, every family, every educator — welcomed regardless of background, income or faith. We prioritize CCDF families and reserve seats for our closest neighbors.
Excellence in Care
Research-backed practices for the first three years of life, small ratios, and educators paid a living wage so they can stay, grow and know each child deeply.
Community Impact
A nonprofit rooted in the 46th & Illinois neighborhood — reinvesting every dollar to strengthen families and the wider Indianapolis community.
