As both a mother of a child that attended Weston school, and an employee of Weston school, I could…read morenever recommend this establishment to anyone. Understaffing is a severe issue because they treat their employees like trash, which means the children get shuffled endlessly around to different rooms, even during meals/snacks they are forced to move from room to room, often having to bring their plates of food with them. The children are so disregulated and bored there is frequent fighting and massive behavioral issues that teachers try to quell, but with limited success due to the frequency and severity and the amount of students with issues like hitting, throwing hard objects and biting and attacking staff. My daughter started out loving coming to school but by a few weeks in she would cry every day and beg me not to make her go. She frequently shook, cried, and clung to myself and her father as she entered a classroom full of behaviors like screaming and tackling. There is a mold issue in the school that is not addressed, there are very little supplies, and almost nothing available to implement the curriculum. The burden of fighting for these items is placed squarely on the shoulders of teachers. We're frequently forced to come in sick, a coworker was even forced to come in actively vomiting, having to carry around grocery bags to vomit into in case she could not be relieved from the classroom to vomit privately in time. The cost is astronomical when you consider that the curriculum is not implemented in most classrooms, children play with the same bins of toys day in and day out with little variance while also being shuffled along in a hyper-structured formulaic day. The food is BAD quality. I frequently had to serve green bananas, spoiled celery, grayish hotdogs etc, and children never receive a full bun, only half! We were literally required to serve every "sandwich" or hot dog open faced or with a half bun because of serving size requirements. It was pathetic and every new teacher who came in had issues with the portion sizes. We also gave children water unfiltered directly from the tap. No filtration system for the water. I was prompted to hide refilling the water pitcher from parents because they KNOW it's wrong. Toxic environment for children and staff, stay away from The Weston School. Everything is a facade to look good for NAEYC meanwhile the children suffer for the school to look good on paper. Sad.

In my personal experience, The Weston School in Noblesville was one of the most discouraging and…read moretoxic work environments I have ever been part of. I went in excited, motivated, and ready to build relationships with the children and families, and they truly were the best part of every single day. The parents, the students, their smiles, their joy... those moments were the only thing that made showing up worth it. Unfortunately, everything else was overshadowed by management practices that, in my opinion, drained teacher morale faster than I have ever seen in any school or childcare setting. From day one, I noticed inconsistent treatment among staff. I was written up for things other teachers did daily and far louder than I ever was, yet nothing seemed to happen when they did the exact same things. It quickly became clear that concerns were only heard when your voice was loud unless someone in management did not like who you were. Rules were different depending on the person, and it created an environment of fear and distrust. Teacher turnover is unbelievably high, and not because the job is hard, but because many of us felt there was no trust, no respect, and no support coming from management. Several staff members shared their discomfort with being pressured to work while sick, even when clearly not well enough to care for children. Disagreeing with management on even small things often led to threats of write ups or termination. It felt less like a workplace and more like walking on eggshells every single day. During my first month, I used a simple educational song during curriculum time, something I have used in multiple previous centers with no issue. Instead of receiving guidance or feedback, I was told that using an iPad for teaching was unacceptable and that if I did it again, I would be pulled into the office. That moment alone showed me how little creativity or flexibility was allowed, even though so many teachers there hold associates, bachelors, or even masters degrees. Hearing leadership say that our education does not mean anything without a short term certificate was, in my opinion, incredibly disrespectful to the hard work educators put into their training. As a teacher and a parent, I found the lack of consistent behavior support and classroom management deeply concerning. When children were being consistently harmed by peers, I often saw little being done to address repeated behaviors. Incidents were minimized or brushed aside, leaving teachers feeling powerless and families unknowingly trusting that everything was being handled properly. It is heartbreaking seeing children go home with injuries and knowing nothing is truly being done to prevent it from happening again. I know for a fact that more than a dozen teachers have left or are looking for new jobs, not because they do not love teaching, but because their confidence, self worth, and passion were worn down day after day. These were floaters, lead teachers, assistants, people from every part of the building. When so many educators from so many roles all feel the same way, that should say something. If you are a current family, I strongly encourage you to pay attention, ask questions, and trust your instincts. If you are a parent searching for a daycare, please know there are many other options nearby that treat both teachers and children with the respect, support, and care they deserve. I wish I had known before accepting a job and before trusting this place with children. I hope sharing my personal experience helps someone else avoid the same mistake.

Number one, Fran (the owner) is the…read moremost kind hearted person who wants to help people love the process of art no matter their financial situation or artistic ability. They offer a huge variety of classes for all ages. I've taken the resin painting class as well as a nails and crafting class. Our daughter took the Fairy and Unicorn Summer camp this past summer and it was her favorite camp out of 5 summer camps. Line+form will be moving to a new location downtown in September so they'll be more accessible to people from all over the city. Don't let the drive dissuade you though. We live on the north side of Fishers and will definitely be attending many more classes in the future.

StitchWorks is a nonprofit offering sewing classes and offering contract production services for…read moregarments as well as functional textile pieces. They have had previous locations, but relocated to the Stutz campus in 2024 and accordingly are close to other creative companies and some food and beverage spots. I came for their Industrial Sewing Skills 101 class. They offer a few classes each month and they usually sell out within a few days of being posted because the class sizes are small based on the number of stations. In addition to the 101 class, they offer an alterations basics class, and several upcycling focused classes. The 101 class is about 4-4.5 hours and costs $75. All materials are provided. They occasionally offer youth classes and more in-depth apprenticeship focused programs. The space has large windows offering lots of natural light. The door is on the north west of the "south Stutz" building on 10th Street. There is a combination of free street paring and metered parking nearby. In addition to their classes, they can do small batch production for fashion companies or companies that make functional pieces like tents, lawn chairs, etc. They also offer some prototyping support for clients looking to make custom textile pieces.

I have always wanted to try out the plant nights that I have seen. So I was browsing on Groupon and…read moreI came across the coupon for yay maker. The hostess was extremely friendly and she appeared to be very knowledgeable about the plans and how to take care of them. Not only did we get to make our own planter, but we also got to check out a new brewery or 'new to us' as We both had never been to Round Town brewery. The tender there was very courteous and offered samples and even suggested a really good mixture of their beers. For the actual event, it's pretty low-key and casual. You walk in and make sure you find whoever is hosting it so you can check in. Then you find the class that you want and sit there. Whomever is leading the event will walk you through every step of the way and answer any questions you have. The only thing that I felt was a little bit misleading about this event was that you pay for admission and then you also have to pay for a supplies fee on top of that. I feel like it would just be so much easier if you just clumped it all into one free.

I like the variety of their pictures as well as the location of their events. They travel to various restaurants to use as venues. Two of my visits have been to the Hard Rock Cafe downtown Indianapolis and one to the Spaghetti Factory since that is fairly close to my home. The restaurant staff tends to be very friendly and you get your choice of the entire menu and bar. So lots of variety, a big plus... but you also need to tip, a little downside... well I do tend to spend way too much on food and drink always... Generally the event is set up in a smaller private room, this way we can paint and follow the instructor without the usual restaurant/bar noises, which is a good thing. The instructors/artists tend to be funny or at least try... there are just so many jokes you can make and so if you go more often, you'll hear the same jokes again. They also try to entertain you with silly games while you wait for your paint to dry, because we all know, just watching the paint dry is not a highly rated activity. So far they have always been helpful if you need more paint, towels, help with the picture, repeat instructions cause you were running your mouth and not paying attention... And let's just mention that you really truly do NOT need any talent in order to paint a picture once the artists break it down for you into little easy to follow steps. And generally there are some discount codes flying around, I found a Groupon for my session and you can win a free event sometimes, and generally they give you a discount code to use for your next event.. that's how they keep you coming back ... a fun experience, a cool picture to brag with and a discount code...
