My first born started going there since 13months old and we never looked back. We recently moved to Urbandale and don't care for the drive because we love it so much for our son. It's a Spanish Immersion program that really helped my son developed his Spanish skills. I trust all the ladies that work there and the best part is that they cook the lunch for them. They have a little kitchen to do this everyday for the kiddos! It's awesome ! They do activities with the kids and have themes throughout the calendar year. I truly love it. I'm already on the waiting list for my yet to be born second child. Highly recommend it !

You will feel such a positive environment from the moment you walk in the building and the smell of homemade food every morning will make you want to stay with your child to enjoy lunch (Parent's should be invited for home made lunch once a year ;). Lupita, the owner is very active with everything that has to do with her Daycare and her teachers are amazing with all of the kids. I completely recommend Mundo Pequeño. -Viri R.

I've sent both of my children to this daycare and preschool starting from the age of 3-months to 5…read moreyears! This means that I've been been working with the Director and Asst. Director at Cadence for the past 13 years! They are 2 professionals that know their business and do a great job with the kids, teachers, and parents! That leadership  tenure is so important- and they both do a great job. There are also a good amount of teachers that have been at this daycare for 5, 10, 15, and 20+ years...which is serious retention! That tells me that these teachers want to be there! Things are organized and ran very well. It's always been a great feeling to be able to walk down the hall and the teachers know me and my kids, and all of the teachers and leaders are conversational and happy! I've been very pleased with the school's curriculum! They offer centers for rotation and variety and cover the important development areas of: gross motor skills, socialization, independence, counting- math, speech, reading, writing, shapes, colors, interactive/imaginative play, outdoor play, working with others/team work, music, arts and crafts, and more! I've never had to worry about my children getting bored- and they have fun...they want to go to school everyday! Finally, the food they offer for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack is quality and very healthy! I've appreciated the great variety that they put into their menu, which promotes the kids to always be trying new things and to eat what you get! This daycare and preschool has remained my #1 choice for 13 years! I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants their kids to have fun and variety, in an excellent educational environment, with strong teachers who are positive and loving! I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else!

I believe my kids are safe at Koalaty Time and I think they're getting a great Pre-K education…read more Both of our kids go there. The teachers are great they have good attitudes. Jan is the owner and she knows everything there is to know about modern daycare safety, curriculum, education, the works. When my kids are good, they're praised, and when they're bad, they get in trouble instead of being coddled. My kids are constantly coming home with new knowledge and skills that I would not expect for their age level - Spanish, reading, geography, etc. They are good with potty training too - they will go as fast as you want but won't push you.

I cannot say enough about Laura, the center director. She is so hands on and very caring. Her approach is tailored to each child individually. Mrs. Lee in the infant room is one of those people just made to care for children and you can see the genuine joy she gets from it. Abi has been a great addition to the center, bringing activities and structure, very detail oriented and the kids just love her. These 3 will whole-heartedly love your children from baby to adult. Several of the children who attend the center have parents who attended the center when THEY were children. A++++ highly recommend! I read the previous post from 2012 and all I can say is you get out of Wonder Years what you give. They are reasonable but they are not door mats. The center is older but it is always clean and safe. What you might be missing in glitz and glamour (and by the way, you PAY for that overhead elsewhere) you get in love and genuine fun for your kids. Any issue I ever had (and they were FEW) Laura always listened to and addressed to my full satisfaction.
