About Imagination Station in Avon and Danville
We are a set of preschools in Hendricks County that follow Procare’s Learning Beyond Paper curriculum. We care for children from 6 weeks through 12 years and provide a range of age-appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join school.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on exploration and discovery. By creating a fun, child-centered environment that your child cannot wait to come to everyday, we are able to help children reach their developmental goals throughout all stages of life.
Who We Are
Imagination Station was founded in Avon in 2010 by Jessica Hampton. With over 20 years of experience, our director, Jessica got her start in early childhood education when she was just 17 and hasn’t looked back.
We decided to do things a bit differently at Imagination Station by creating a space which fosters early learning in a fun and safe environment where children from 6 weeks through 12 years can explore the world around them.
We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.

For Infants
The infant room in our preschool is a nurturing and safe haven designed specifically for our littlest learners, where developmental milestones can be reached with ease. It's a place where infants aged six weeks to one year can thrive, explore, and develop in a loving environment.
Here we focus on developmental milestones such as sitting, emotion and needs recognition, and crawling, with a view to walking. Because of this, the room is thoughtfully arranged to stimulate their senses and support their early development. The infant room is not just a place for childcare; it's the place where the foundations of a child's skills and education are laid, setting the stage for a lifetime of learning and growth.
For 12 to 24 Months
Our 12 to 24-month-old rooms are dynamic spaces designed to foster the rapid growth and development of our curious toddlers. In this engaging environment, children are encouraged to explore and discover the world around them. promoting sensory exploration, fine and gross motor skills, and early social interactions.
Our experienced and caring staff guide these toddlers through age-appropriate activities, encouraging language development, potty training, and early socialization skills. At this stage, we formally introduce our children to topics and concepts such as math, science, and reading readiness skills.
For Preschool
The preschool rooms in our centers are lively and engaging spaces tailored to the unique needs and interests of our spirited little ones. The rooms are thoughtfully equipped with a variety of age-appropriate toys and materials that promote imagination, creativity, and problem-solving; building essential skills for their early years.
Here we build on the skills learned in the 12-24 months room, such as reading and math concepts, and expand on them. These include but aren’t limited to, counting to ten, ABC recital, and name recognition, as well as opportunities to explore books independently. This is also where we introduce our children to daily worship, through music and bible stories.
For Pre-Kindergarten
The Pre-K rooms are dynamic and stimulating environments, specially designed to prepare our young learners for the exciting world of kindergarten and beyond. Here, children engage in a wide range of activities that encourage cognitive, social, and emotional growth. In Pre-K we lay the foundation for a love of learning, sparking curiosity and building confidence in our young learners as they prepare to take the next exciting educational steps.
Pre-K is where we see the groundwork of their early education begin to bloom. Here our experienced teachers provide structured lessons and play to ensure each child is well-equipped for the next phase of their educational journey. There are a great number of skills taught at this stage, including understanding sequences, letter reproduction via copying and recognizing and writing their own name.
For Junior Kindergarten
The Jr. Kindergarten rooms are bustling hubs of learning and discovery, tailored to children aged 5 to 6, as they take their first steps into formal education. These rooms not only prepare them academically but also emphasize social and emotional development, helping them build friendships, develop self-confidence, and navigate the world around them, setting the stage for a successful transition to elementary school and beyond.
It's a space filled with engaging materials and resources that foster essential skills such as reading, writing, math, and critical thinking. Here our little learners can master the skills that have been nurtured throughout their journey with Imagination Station.
