Our story

Twenty years of big hearts and little hands.

We started with one location and a simple belief: every child deserves a warm, nurturing place to learn, laugh, and grow — right in their own neighborhood.

A neighborhood program built around childhood, not convenience.

A Child's World was founded to give Indianapolis families an affordable, genuinely caring option — one that felt like an extension of home, not a drop-off service.

Over two decades later, that spirit lives in every room. Teachers know children by name, families feel like partners, and the focus stays on the child — not the bottom line. We accept CCDF childcare vouchers because we believe every family deserves access to quality care.

My child has been here two years and I couldn't be happier. The staff genuinely care, the environment is welcoming, and my little one absolutely loves going every day.
