Greenacres Learning Center

We’ve been with College4Kids in Des Moines since the end of July, and it’s been such a wonderful experience for my baby and me. The teachers are truly loving and attentive Ms. Angi is the absolute best infant teacher I have came across, you can tell everyone in center genuinely cares about every child. My little one has grown and learned so much in such a short time, and I always felt confident knowing he was in the best hands with his teacher and other staff members. Communication with everyone in the front office was great, the environment was clean and nurturing, and every day my baby came home happy and loved. We’re so sad about our move, but incredibly thankful for all the care and warmth we’ve received. Highly recommend this amazing team!

I have such wonderful things to say about this center! My daughter has been attending for 5 months after transferring from another facility. They are always fully staffed with very professional, caring, and friendly educators. They have an impressive developmental curriculum, healthy meals and well organized routine. My daughter is thriving with the Spanish immersion and seems very comfortable. She is always so happy in the pictures they send throughout the day. So many fun activities too. I really like the part-time tuition options. Great communication all around. We are so grateful we made the transition here and recommended other families to check it out!

I absolutely love this daycare! The women are amazing and always welcoming. I have two kids (6 & 11mo) and they’re always excited to go. I love that it’s a bilingual daycare and they’re learning to speak and understand Spanish! My baby absolutely adores the infant teachers. He’s always happy & well taken care of. The daycare is always well kept and clean. They have a great app that provides a daily summary and log for my baby. I know when diaper changes were done and the times my baby ate and napped. I always enjoy and look forward to the photos I receive at work of my kids during the day. I strongly recommend for any age.

We are in constant awe of our daughter's language, social, emotional, and educational development these last 1.5 years at the center (infant to toddler). Teachers and staff are extremely caring, attentive to her and our needs, and communicate often and well with us. Some salient points: --Spanish is the main language spoken at the daycare. Our daughter understands it well and can speak words and phrases in combination with English. We speak mainly English at home. --Snacks and meals are well-timed, diverse, and healthy. --The center is very clean and organized. --Lessons and activities are thoughtfully planned, targeting all aspects of child development. --10-15 picture/video updates are sent informing us of how and what she's doing --Parent-teacher conferences are administered quarterly so we can both provide/receive feedback and address any concerns or upcoming milestones (i.e. transition to the next age group room). --There are events outside of school hours for cultural and seasonal community celebrations. --Staff have been very flexible and helpful with potty training. Our daughter does very well at home but does have a hard time at the center (which is expected since it's a new environment). --All teachers and staff know her by name, strength, and need and she always happily waves and says hello and good-bye to them. Overall, we are very happy with her and our experience with College for Kids and definitely recommend the center to any family.

Let me start off by saying I Love this place and the staff this is the only child care I have ever used for both my boys started at Federal way location when my oldest was 2 now he’s 10 and him and his brother both attended. Love the daily updates and pictures throughout a stressful work days brings me so much peace. My 1 year old understands English and Spanish which is also a double plus. I could go on and on. Overall I would recommend any one of my friends this center it feels like we are all one big family!
