You probably wouldn't see this preschool-K12 math & reading learning center hidden among a small…read moreshopping complex between Allisonville Rd. & 116th St. I used to be a former Kumon student and almost 20 years later - I am thankful for going through this program (even though I pretty much sucked in math when I was younger). Now I'm a math whiz - although my word problem, intermediate algebra, & calculus days are long forgotten. This location has just changed ownership, but it was great from the startup. After almost 20 years of working there, the previous owners were a wonderful couple who definitely showed passion in teaching - not based on business aspect. Under new management, the new owner is keeping Kumon's previous model. He is very organized and provides good feedback to students and parents as well. He tailors his/her own curriculum based on a student's achievement. They have a wonderful early learning teaching assistants as well as math & reading staff who take pride in grading material and helping students with any questions they may have. Because this tutoring center is based on self-motivation, students must work try to work independently to understand concepts. The instructor will guide them if they cannot figure out the problem. From what I understand, prospective parents schedule an appointment with the instructor take their child(ren) in for a free placement test to evaluate their child(ren)'s understanding. From there, if the parent decides to enroll their child(ren), they will need to register their child(ren). I'm not sure what the pricing is now (due to inflation), but I'm estimating around $95/mo per subject. I don't have any kids yet, but I would trust this instructor to tutor my child - perhaps in the future so they can be ahead in school like I was!

This is going to sound overly dramatic, but it aint no lie: Enrolling my child into this school has probably been one of the best decisions I've made since moving to Indiana. We just finished the 4s class, which was our first foray into any type of schooling. Meridian Hills Cooperative is play-based, which means that the kids learn through exploring, building, creating, moving their bodies, and just plain being kids. The teachers do not push the kids to do anything (as in, they aren't receiving formal lessons in the 4s class) -- instead, the teacher invites each child to participate, and lets them join in whenever they feel comfortable. Each child is valued for whatever stage they're at in life. Similarly, each type of personality -- from super shy guys to boisterous kids to everything in between -- is cherished and respected. A huge plus about the school is that they value playing outdoors. They will tell you straight up when you go for a tour: We play outside in all types of weather! The only time the kids won't play outside is if the weather is dangerous, such as during thunderstorms, or if the windchill is in the single digits. Otherwise, kids bring their snow clothes, rain boots and other outdoor gear because they know they'll be playing outside, rain or shine! Meridian Hills Cooperative is a co-op, which means that parents participate in the classes on a rotating basis. I love this aspect of the school because you really get to know your child's classmates, and in turn, the other parents really get to know YOUR child very well. It's very much like an extended family, with everyone invested in each other's well being. One of the most unique aspects of Meridian Hills is the Kindergarten class. This school is one of the only in the Indianapolis area that offers a part-time Kindergarten. (It meets Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.) On Thursdays, the class spends all day outdoors in the "forest Kindergarten" area, which is basically set up to be an outdoor classroom. So the kids get to learn while feeling the cool breeze, hearing the birds chirping and feeling the earth under their feet. It is such an amazing space, and an amazing way for kids to learn. I feel like I could go on and on about Meridian Hills, but it's just one of those things you have to check out yourself. I'm probably the most jaded and cynical person I know, but whenever I talk to people about this school, I get super mushy and emotional recounting all the ways I love this school and how much my child has grown and blossomed because of it. It's truly been a blessing in our lives.

I searched high and low (aka Noblesville to downtown Indy) looking for a nondenominational,…read moreplay-based preschool for my daughter. After looking at multiple Montessori schools and not finding many other options, I was delighted to find MHCNS. As soon as I arrived, I knew I had found something special. The spacious outdoor playground is like no other I've seen in the area (and there are hiking trails, too!). Once inside, I was impressed by the "block room" full of wooden toys for building, the "art room" with easels set up and a table full of homemade play dough, and a third room where the children were enjoying board games and reading in little groups. And then I met the teachers. There are three, and they are all amazing. They have history with the school, an easy rapport with the children, and they believe in the power of play. I was also impressed that this school has a half-day kindergarten available. As a cooperative (and member of Indiana Council of Preschool Cooperatives), this preschool is run by parents. One of your child's caregivers will help out in the classroom once or twice a month and take on a "job" within the school. Your job could be anything from organizing the Fall Picnic to ordering the art supplies for your child's classroom or caring for the class pet. My daughter loves seeing me in her classroom, and it really gives me a better sense of what she is experiencing and what I can do to help her grow. MHCNS offers parent education nights and a two day training workshop. Since all of the parents are so involved with the school, you really get to know the other families and create lasting friendships. Overall, I feel that being part of this school has not only been beneficial to my daughter, it has also made me a better parent.

I've been here for basketball games before and most recently, this was the host for the GIAC…read moretournament that happened on Valentine's Day. The first game for us was at 10am and if we won, the championship game was at 2pm. The parking lot for this school is very small making it challenging. The school is across the street from a church which I noticed overflow parking there and also people parked on the street. They don't have a label on the doors for the gym entrance, so I just followed the flow of people going inside. The concession stand is right after the entrance and then the gym is on the right. The cost of admission was $5 for me and $3 for my son (student discount). They take card and cash for admission. They did not have a printout sheet of the teams with player names for this tournament. It's a small gym, and seating is limited to two sides of the gym. Restrooms were upstairs because the teams were using the downstairs restrooms as their locker rooms. You can use card or cash to purchase items from concessions. My son tried to purchase hotdogs for us, but they said it wasn't ready, so I got a can of coke and he got a Hersey bar for $3. I also purchased a cookie which was $3 that I found out was another business selling them here. My son went back after some time to get a hotdog, and it was $2. He asked if they were beef and they told him yes. My son's team made it to the championship game, and since we had plenty of time in between games, I left the building to run some errands. The lady taking money for admissions had us write our names down so we didn't have to repay to get back in. When we came back for the championship game, a loose dog was following my son and I to the gym. We were nervous at first, but it didn't seem like it was going to harm us. Knowing where we were going, the dog waited by the door, so I thought maybe his owner was inside. The dog came inside, ran on the court, and everyone looked shocked, and I asked if anyone knew the owner. The athletic director came out to escort the dog back outside, stating it was a neighborhood dog and luckily it was friendly. First time that's happened to me lol. My husband was at work for the 1st game, but was able to attend the 2nd game. He purchased a hotdog from concession, but I told him it didn't look like the one our son had from earlier so he went back to ask if it was beef or pork, but they told him they didn't know, he doesn't eat pork so he asked if he could get something else. At first they were hesitant but they switched it with nachos. He was upset about it, and he said all of the cheese for the nachos was at the bottom which he didn't like. My son's team became the 2026 GIAC champs this day!!!
