Programs and daily structure

Our programs are organized by age group to match developmental needs and typical daily rhythms.

  • Infants (6 weeks – 12 months): Calm care routines, individual feeding and sleep schedules, and secure crib areas.
  • Toddlers (1–3 years): Short activity blocks that promote motor skills, language growth, and safe exploration.
  • Preschool (3–5 years): Play-based learning that builds social skills, early literacy, and numeracy readiness.
  • Before & after school care: Homework support, outdoor play, and structured quiet time for school-age children when available.

Safety, licensing, and staff

Safety is maintained through secure entry, daily health screenings, regular sanitation, and staff trained in first aid and pediatric CPR. All lead caregivers meet Iowa state licensing requirements and complete ongoing professional learning. We keep staff-to-child ratios below the allowed maximums so children receive close supervision throughout the day.

Curriculum and learning goals

Activities are planned to support language development, social interaction, problem solving, and early fine and gross motor skills. Classroom days include group circle time, guided play, sensory activities, creative art, and outdoor play when weather permits. Progress observations are shared regularly with families during check-ins and scheduled meetings.

Meals, allergies, and health

Meals and snacks follow state nutrition guidelines. Families are asked to provide accurate allergy and dietary information at enrollment. Staff maintain clear food-preparation procedures to reduce cross-contact and respond immediately if a child shows symptoms that require attention.

Enrollment and scheduling

Enrollment begins with a visit, an application, and a signed agreement outlining hours, fees, and policies. We offer full-time and part-time schedules with consistent weekly blocks to support family routines. Tuition and fees are provided at the time of inquiry and are billed monthly.

Family communication

Families receive daily summary notes for infants and toddlers and brief updates for older children. We encourage open communication and schedule periodic conferences to go over developmental progress and next steps.
