Our Space


Outdoor Classroom

The center of learning and life at Indianola Children's Center is our outdoor classroom. Featuring natural materials, bridges, climbing structures, toys for imaginary play, vegetable and flower gardens, a 550-gallon rain barrel and river for water play. This is the only Certified Nature Explore Outdoor classroom in Columbus.


Indoor Classrooms

The Indianola Children's Center classrooms are designed to help children explore and integrate a variety of play experiences. All of the programs offer spaces for sensory play, block building and construction play, dress-up and dramatic play, sorting, counting, and design work, book reading and other literacy work, quiet alone time, and more. In addition, all of the programs may use the downstairs Youth Room area during the fall, winter and spring for indoor movement games and active play.
