Join the waitlist to be first in line.
About this campus
IGA is expanding into Kentucky.
Lexington is IGA's first campus outside Indiana. The reason is straightforward: the need we saw in the Indianapolis suburbs — families struggling to find quality infant and toddler care close to home — is just as real in central Kentucky.
The campus is new construction on Georgetown Road in northwest Lexington, minutes from New Circle Road and convenient to both I-64 and I-75, which keeps it reachable for families across Fayette County and from Nicholasville and Georgetown. Hours will match our other campuses: 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Kentucky regulates childcare through its own framework — the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Division of Child Care, with the Kentucky All STARS quality rating rather than Indiana's system — and our Lexington campus will meet those requirements in full. The programs themselves will be identical to our Indiana campuses: infants from six weeks through Pre-K, small class sizes, and degree-qualified lead teachers. Join the waitlist to hear first.
