The Weston School Story Since 1986

A Legacy of Early Childhood Education Across Central Indiana Since 1986

The Weston School story began in 1986, when Nazli Khan, a mother and banking professional, searched for high-quality childcare for her first child and saw a need for something better. What started as an at-home childcare service in Indianapolis was built on safety, education, health, nurture, and trust.

By 1989, the program became a licensed childcare company known as ABC’s and 123’s Learning Center. As the need for trusted early childhood education grew, the school expanded to Avon in 1996 and northwest Indianapolis in 1999, continuing to serve more families across Central Indiana.

In 2013, Nazli’s son, Omar Khan, joined the company and helped relaunch the organization as The Weston School alongside Dana Query. Since then, The Weston School has continued to grow through remodeled facilities, new Noblesville locations in 2017 and 2019, expanded space at the Indianapolis school in 2021, and the opening of The Weston School Speedway in 2025.

Today, The Weston School remains committed to providing safe, nurturing, education-focused childcare across Central Indiana. Through innovative curriculum, advanced safety technology, experienced educators, and strong family partnerships, The Weston School continues helping children build the foundation for success in school and in life.

Where Our Story Began

A Family’s Love. A Legacy of Learning. Since 1986.

It Started With a Mother’s Need.

In 1986, Nazli Khan was a young mother of two boys with a successful career in banking. When she searched for childcare for her own children, she wasn’t comfortable with what she found. So she decided to build something better.

Where It Began

Nazli opened a small childcare program inside her family’s 900-square-foot bungalow. There were no investors, no mentors, and no roadmap—just courage, sacrifice, and a deep commitment to children and families.

Built Together

Her husband, Mohsin Khan, believed in the dream too.

Together, they saved, sacrificed, and poured themselves into a place where children would be cared for like family.

‘I’ve Got You.’

Years after the Great Recession, Nazli and Mohsin faced losing their business and nearly everything One had spent their lives building One night, Omar found his mother crying and promised her, “I’ve got you.” He returned to rebuild the family business, determined to save everything his parents had worked so hard to create.

A Tradition of Building

When Weston needed a conference table it couldn’t afford, Omar built it by hand. His parents had taught him to find a way, do what it takes, and always give his best. That same determination lives in our Weston family—and in how we care for yours.

Where Learning Shapes a Lifetime

Today, nearly forty years later, The Weston School carries forward the belief that every child deserves an exceptional foundation for learning and life. Through purposeful education, hands-on discovery, and nurturing relationships, we help children develop the confidence, curiosity, independence, and character to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Everything we do is guided by one promise:

Success in School. Success in Life.
