Hendricks County, IN — July 25, 2025 — Imagination Station Learning Centers, a beloved pillar in the local community, is making international headlines. Founder and CEO, Jessica Hampton, has just returned from Childcare Business Growth Live (CBG Live) in Miami, one of the most influential gatherings of early childhood leaders in the world, where she was honored with the 7 Figure Business Owner Award and the Full and Thriving Award for excellence in leadership and innovation in childcare.

While open to the public, CBG Live is widely recognized as a premier event that attracts top-tier childcare entrepreneurs, directors, and thought leaders from across the globe. Hampton was one of only a handful of U.S. providers acknowledged on the main stage—earning international recognition for her contributions to the field.

“I was truly humbled to be in a room filled with changemakers from around the world,” said Hampton. “Bringing this award back to our team and our families is the highlight of my career. It’s a testament to the work we do every single day.”

The award specifically recognized Imagination Station’s commitment to innovation in early childhood education, development of future leaders into the field, and overall creating a healthy culture for both staff and families. Judges praised Hampton for “creating a model of excellence that centers around both children and community.”

Since opening its doors in 2010, Imagination Station has become known for its warm, inclusive environment and its dedication to high-quality learning experiences for children ages six weeks through twelve years old. The school serves over 200 local families and has earned accolades at the state and national level.

The recognition has already sparked excitement among parents and staff alike.

In the coming months, Hampton plans to share insights from the conference with other local providers and hopes to bring new global best practices into classrooms across Indiana.
