The Childrens House, Inc.

The Children’s House uses a modified Montessori-based, hands-on approach with individualized instruction in a non-competitive environment, aiming to help each child discover unique talents and grow toward independence and self-actualization. Students learn in multi-age, ungraded groups where they can work at their own pace, with teachers guiding learning through observation rather than grades. The school emphasizes character development as strongly as academics, valuing responsibility, community contribution, and respect for each child as a whole person.

For the 2026–27 school year, families apply by completing The Children’s House online registration form (a separate form is required for each child) and paying the non-refundable registration fee via Zeffy. (thechildrenshouseindianapolis.com) Elementary registration is listed as open; preschool is listed as currently full, and families who register and pay the fee are placed on the preschool waitlist (the site notes the waitlist currently has 3 families, and the registration form states the fee must be paid for a child to be on the waitlist). (thechildrenshouseindianapolis.com) The posted registration fees are $100 for new students and $50 for returning students. (zeffy.com) Tours are available Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday from 10:30–11:30am when school is in session, and are scheduled by messaging the school with a requested date. (thechildrenshouseindianapolis.com) The website does not describe admissions priority categories or how the waitlist is prioritized, and it does not publish admissions deadlines/decision dates; the only explicit eligibility-type requirement posted is that preschool campers must be potty trained (noted for summer camp).
