Every child is special
We’re more than caregivers — we’re partners in your child’s early learning journey.
Our policies are designed to protect, support, and nurture children in a safe, creative, and caring space.
Our Philosophy
Children learn best through play, exploration, and connection.
We provide a warm, home-like setting where curiosity is encouraged, questions are welcomed, and each child feels loved and respected.
We partner with parents as teammates — because when we work together, children shine brighter!

Health & Safety First
The health of your child is our top priority.
Illness Policy:
Children must stay home if they have a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, or any contagious illness.
They may return 24 hours after symptoms have cleared.
Medication:
We administer medication only with a signed authorization form and in its original labeled container.
Allergies:
Please inform us of any allergies or medical needs. We post discreet allergy alerts in classrooms to keep every child safe.
Clean & Secure:
Our classrooms are sanitized daily, and our building remains locked at all times.
Fire, weather, and lockdown drills are practiced regularly according to Iowa regulations.
Nap & Rest Time
After a morning full of fun, children enjoy a quiet rest time.
Each child has a personal cot or mat, and may bring a favorite blanket or small comfort item.
Teachers supervise all children throughout nap time for safety and comfort.
Positive Behavior Guidance
We guide children with kindness, patience, and understanding.
Our approach is based on positive reinforcement, redirection, and natural consequences.
We never use punishment, isolation, or harsh discipline.
If a child experiences ongoing challenges, we partner closely with families to support them in a consistent, loving way.
Emergencies & Preparedness
All staff members are trained in First Aid, CPR, and emergency procedures.
Our center follows Iowa emergency safety guidelines and conducts regular drills.
Parents are notified promptly if an emergency affects their child.
Evacuation plans are posted in every classroom.
Parent Communication
We love keeping you connected!
Families receive daily updates, photos, and notes through our parent app and monthly newsletter.
We also host family events, conferences, and open-door visits.
