In early April, The Learning Experience Academy of Early Education will open at 1360 Bent Grass Lane in Fishers, providing parents of newborns to age 6 with an education-focused day care option.
Greenwood residents Dhaval Patel and his wife, Disha, said they wanted to open a child care facility in Fishers that focuses on the care and educational development of kids.
“This is not your standard pick-up and drop-off day care,” Patel said. “The day care will provide a unique educational experience for each age range, focusing on early education with a built-in curriculum geared towards early childhood development.”
The curriculum consists of new themes each month that focus on hands-on learning based on educational and early childhood development standards set by the state of Indiana. The facility will offer parents access to its ‘Show-N-Tell’ app, which helps parents plan and provides a dossier of their child’s learning plans and progress.
The Learning Experience’s nationwide franchises were recently recognized as one of the top education early childhood development day cares in the nation by Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500 rankings.
“We wanted to do something we would be passionate about, and that would involve us with the community,” Patel said. “Indiana is our home.”
