Meridian Hills Cooperative Nursery School

Nestled in the heart of Indianapolis, Meridian Hills Cooperative Nursery School & Kindergarten has been fostering the potential of young minds since 1960. We are a unique community of parents and teachers working together to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, and physically.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a high-quality, developmentally appropriate early childhood education program that empowers young children to reach their full potential. We believe each child is a capable and curious learner, and we strive to cultivate their imagination, foster their social skills, and support their physical and emotional growth.

What We Offer

We offer a variety of programs for children aged 2-5, including:

• Finches (2 Year Olds): Explore the world through play-based activities and sensory exploration.
• Chickadees (3 Year Olds): Develop social and emotional skills alongside foundational learning in literacy and math.
• Robins (4 Year Olds): Hone their creativity and engage in hands-on learning through science, art, and dramatic play.
• Kinderbirds (5 Year Olds): Prepare for kindergarten with a balanced curriculum that emphasizes reading, writing, and math.

Our Approach

Our curriculum is guided by the latest research in early childhood education and focuses on:

• Individualized learning: We tailor our approach to meet each child's unique needs and learning styles.
• Play-based learning: We believe play is fundamental to learning and incorporate creative and engaging games, activities, and exploration opportunities.
• Positive reinforcement: We celebrate children's efforts and encourage them through positive reinforcement and encouragement.
• Collaboration: We encourage active parent involvement and foster open communication and collaboration between families and teachers.
