Best preschool in the entire Cedar Valley. It's very clean, very well organized, has cameras for extra security, and the staff is just amazing with children. Both of my kids have been going here for years and I would not want them in anyone else's care. I highly recommend this center to anyone searching for childcare.

One of the best preschools around. After we moved out of Waterloo we still kept our kids enrolled here and drove out of our way every day to drop them off because we liked it so much.

Hate this preschool. The staff is rude and they don’t teach the kids anything. They had a big lice outbreak and instead of telling parents so that way they were aware of the situation ronni argued with parents and told them she didn’t have to with a smile on her face. Shouldn’t matter if she has to or not it’s basic human decency.

This preschool is awesome! My son is going here and he is learning so much. The school learns through play and STEAM activities.

Staff is nice. But have had multiple problems with Ronni the head of the preschool. She’s very unprofessional and has a bad attitude.
