Discover what makes The Indy Lab feel like home for families.

Our Mission

At The Indy Lab, we believe that our mission is to set up a child for later school success. A child’s first educational experience is paramount to their first few years in elementary school. It is during these early years that educators and specialists can inform parents on aspects of their child’s development to help them grow into independent and capable little people. We believe that having educators and specialists working together means we have the trained and skilled capacity to expertly exercise areas of development in each of our students. Through our play-based and gentle approach, we scaffold lessons by providing more or less assistance and making lessons more or less complex so that we can reach every single child at their individual capacity.

Our Core Values

Communication, Community & Collaboration

At The Indy Lab, we prioritize transparency, collaboration, and community. We believe students and families thrive in an environment of friendship, play, and care.

Playful Learning

Playful Learning combines free play, where students develop social-emotional skills, with guided play that deepens their understanding of the world and complex topics through teacher-led insights and resources.

Child-Led

Preschool children thrive with a balance of patience, guidance, and child-led opportunities. Activities like leading circle time or storytelling help them develop autonomy, independence, and confidence.

Individualized Approach

At The Indy Lab, we personalize both development and education to support each child’s learning journey. If extra support is needed, we create tailored plans and collaborate with families on classroom accommodations.

Our Educational Philosophy

At The Indy Lab, we see a child’s behaviors as a window into their development. By understanding why they do what they do, we can bridge the gap between their current abilities and future growth, fostering learning and independence. We believe that curiosity about a child’s development leads to deeper insights, allowing us to better support and teach each student.
