University Community Childcare INC

Wonderful teachers and staff members! Teachers go above and beyond their responsibilities and tasks. My kiddo had a rough first Iowa winter in 2023, but teachers (especially Steph) took the best care of my kid. Unfortunately, we had to move; otherwise would never leave UCC. I appreciate your professionalism and genuine care and love for the kids! From one of the many (forever) grateful parents.

When I first moved to Iowa, I was very nervous about having my son transition to a new school in a new state. Within a week, he warmed up very quickly to the kind and friendly teachers in the Jumping Monkeys room and has made some great friends who I see are very happy, smart, and outgoing. The classes are also very clean and well equipped, which is not something I expected from a daycare center with such affordable tuition rates, but I learned they are a non-profit organization which is another plus. Everyone in this center is very friendly and accommodating, (especially with my son's food allergies). I've been able to sit in and spend some time with him in his class to observe and even join for meals (w/ advanced notice) and I'm glad that I was able to get him in just in time before Fall semester starts.

With caring personnel, numerous guests (cake decorator, magician, firefighters...) and fun field trips, UCC is one of the best day care facilities in Ames. Highly recommend.

Wonderful staff, friendly environment and staff. I highly trust them. I like their class rooms.

My two girls loves Cheerful Cheetahs classroom and teachers.
