<div><strong>Small Patterns. Big Futures.</strong>
</div>
<div>High-quality child care is one of the greatest challenges facing Indiana families—and one of the greatest opportunities to strengthen our communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Indiana consistently ranks among the most challenging states for families seeking affordable, high-quality child care. Across Marion County, the demand for care continues to outpace availability, especially for infants and toddlers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Only about half of children ages 0–3 have access to high-quality early learning opportunities.
</li>
<li>Child care costs consume far more than the recommended share of many families' household budgets.
</li>
<li>Thousands of infants and toddlers lack access to the care their families need.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The effects reach far beyond young children. When families can't find or afford quality child care, parents delay returning to work, businesses struggle to retain employees, and communities lose opportunities to thrive. High-quality early learning isn't simply a family issue—it's essential community infrastructure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Expanding Child Care Opportunities in Midtown</strong>
</div>
<div>These statewide challenges are felt every day in Midtown Indianapolis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As our neighborhood continues to grow, so does the need for high-quality early learning opportunities for young children. Midtown families often face long waitlists and limited availability while searching for full-time, year-round care close to home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's why we're building <a href="https://patternsindy.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patterns Early Learning Center</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Opening in Fall 2027 at 46th &amp; Illinois, Patterns will be a nonprofit early learning center designed to serve Midtown families during the years that matter most. More than a childcare center, Patterns will be a place where children develop lifelong patterns of confidence, curiosity, creativity, and belonging through meaningful relationships, hands-on learning, and joyful exploration.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because the patterns formed in early childhood can shape a lifetime.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Patterns?</strong>
</div>
<div>Our vision is to create a high-quality early learning community that welcomes families from every income level. Through scholarships, need-based tuition assistance, and CCDF support, our goal is to build classrooms where children from all backgrounds learn, play and grow together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because every child deserves an incredible beginning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Community Partnership</strong>
</div>
<div>Patterns is possible because of the extraordinary generosity of Common Ground Christian Church. This remarkable partnership allows us to invest more resources where they'll make the greatest impact: exceptional teachers, inspiring learning environments, meaningful experiences for children and expanded access for families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we're inviting our community to help bring this vision to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Goal: $65,000 in Seed Funding</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help us:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Hire our founding executive director
</li>
<li>Complete licensing and startup expenses
</li>
<li>Furnish classrooms with high-quality learning materials
</li>
<li>Recruit and invest in exceptional teachers
</li>
<li>Build a sustainable scholarship fund
</li>
<li>Prepare every detail to welcome our first students in Fall 2027
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you give $25 or $2,500, every contribution helps lay the foundation for a place that will serve Midtown children and families for generations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Join Us</strong>
</div>
<div>When you support Patterns, you're building more than an early learning center.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You're investing in children. You're strengthening families. You're helping employers and our local economy. And you're creating a place where every child has the opportunity to build lifelong patterns of confidence, curiosity, creativity and connection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we're building a stronger Midtown. One small pattern at a time.
</div>

</div>
<div>Contributions to this fundraiser directly benefit Patterns, a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity organized under the laws of the State of Indiana. Patterns is a nonprofit early learning center whose principal office is located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations made to this official campaign are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by federal law. Because this fundraiser is hosted online and accessible across state lines, out-of-state donors should note that individual state tax-deductibility regulations, definitions of charitable organizations, or local filing rules may vary depending on your state of residence. Consulting a local tax advisor is recommended for specific state-level deductions. Your gift is securely processed and distributed by GoFundMe's platform partner(s) (the PayPal Giving Fund), and an official federal tax receipt will be automatically generated and emailed to you immediately following your contribution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No goods or services are provided by Patterns in exchange for your financial contribution. While GoFundMe platform tipping is entirely optional and can be adjusted to $0 at checkout, standard credit card transaction processing fees are deducted by the payment gateway before reaching our programs. We fundraise directly through our own internal team, board, and volunteers; no professional solicitors or third-party fundraising consultants are paid or compensated from these campaign proceeds.
