Child Care and Preschool

• We offer full-time and part-time rates and sibling discounts.

• We are part of the Iowa Quality Rating System through the state.
• We participate in the Child and Adult care food program, which enables us to provide healthy meals, at no additional cost to our families.

Mission

Our mission is to offer high-quality child care services for children 6 weeks to 12 years of age. Our ultimate goal is to provide an atmosphere that encourages a child’s self-esteem and confidence in order for them to be better prepared for life experiences and become life-long learners.

We believe that together, parents, families, teachers and child care providers create an environment that allows a child to grow, learn and develop a positive self-concept. We promote the development of the whole child's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual well-being.

3 Year Old Preschool

We also strive to offer a high-quality preschool educational experience in our preschool program .

Our preschool program spans 34 weeks of the year from September to May. We hold preschool from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday-Friday each week. Our preschool incorporates team teaching, which offers a wide variety of educational experiences for the children. We currently use one of the state-chosen curricula: Creative Curriculum.

We are also in a partnership with Van Buren County Community School District, which allows the school to house their 4 Year Pre-K in our building. This makes for an easy transition from 3 Year Preschool to 4 Year Pre-K.
