Philosophy

Day Early Learning’s Theory of Teaching and Learning believes every child is competent & capable, learns through relationships with adults and peers, constructs knowledge from diverse experiences, learns and develops at a unique and individual pace, and is constantly learning. As a result of these core beliefs, we are committed to ensuring every child has access to the educational resources they need to thrive.

About our program

Day Early Learning Federal Building is in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. Located within the Minton Capehart Federal Building and open to the public, the center has an urban atmosphere but is small with a family feel. Because of the location, the children are able to go on walking field trips to the main library, the farmers market at City Market and the holiday parades on Pennsylvania Street.

At Day Early Learning Federal Building your child will learn and grow in a safe environment. This center has six spacious classrooms, an indoor gross motor area and an outdoor urban playground. Classrooms are designed to provide a fun learning environment and are outfitted with developmentally appropriate learning materials that allow your child to explore and learn.
