How It Started
Alphabet Academy began in 2014 as a small, in-home childcare program built on one simple belief: children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them.
Our founder, Krissie, always knew that caring for children would be an important part of her journey while raising her own family. What started as a way to combine motherhood with a passion for early childhood education quickly grew into something much bigger.
For more than five years, our in-home programs focused on providing child-centered care, meaningful learning experiences, and strong relationships with children and their families. As more families discovered our approach, demand continued to grow, eventually leading to the expansion of three separate in-home childcare locations.
With that growth came a new vision: to create a childcare center that would preserve the warmth and individualized attention of a family-based program while expanding opportunities for even more children.
That vision led to the creation of our newly renovated facility in Fishers. By bringing our programs together under one roof, we were able to expand our classrooms, enhance our learning environments, create beautiful outdoor spaces, create jobs within our community, and provide exceptional care to even more children and families.
Today, we’re growing again with the expansion of our west-side Fishers location. While our facilities continue to evolve, our mission remains unchanged: to create a place where children feel safe, families feel supported, and meaningful relationships flourish.
One of the things that makes us most proud is seeing the connections that continue long after children leave our classrooms. Families who first met at Alphabet Academy still gather together years later, even after their children have moved on to elementary school. Those lasting friendships remind us that we’ve built something much greater than a daycare.
We’ve created a community!
What We Believe
We believe early childhood education is about more than academics. It’s about building the social, emotional, and cognitive foundations that set children up for a lifetime of learning. Every decision we make from our teacher-to-child ratios to our daily routines starts with one question: what does this child need right now?
Small Groups
Intentionally low ratios so every child gets individual attention throughout the day.
Consistent Teachers
Our teachers stay in their classrooms long-term, building deep relationships with the children and families they serve.
Play-Based Learning
Hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities that make learning joyful and meaningful.
More Than a Daycare — A Community
More than a decade after opening our doors, we remain committed to the values that inspired us from the very beginning: nurturing curiosity, encouraging creativity, building confidence, and creating an environment where every child can learn, laugh, play, and grow.
Because at Alphabet Academy, we’re not just preparing children for kindergarten. We’re helping them build the foundation for a lifetime of learning and belonging.
