West Des Moines KinderCare 865 South 51st Street, West Des Moines, IA 50265

"My son has been attending KinderCare since he's been two months old and I can't imagine going anywhere else. We've made lifelong friendships here. The teachers are incredible. The facility is clean and well-maintained. You're kept up-to-date with the daily photos and notifications. The entire staff is friendly and whenever I have a question it's answered almost immediately. The curriculum is engaging and age appropriate. Side note - I noticed a couple of negative reviews. Yes, the director did ask for reviews but only because it's a new facility and there were none. By no means did they say they had to be positive reviews! No one was "bribed". You simply entered into a drawing for $50 off tuition for leaving any type of review. (I just think it's important to know the facts about that.)"

"My autistic daughter was going here for about 3 weeks and it seemed like a good fit for the first week and a half but as the days kept going on. It was clear they didn't want to deal with her and the severity of her autism, after reassuring us over and over that this was a good fit for her. My daughter's mother and me paid a lot for her to go here to ensure that she would be taken care of and in good hands. However, she was not and my daughter's mother ended up losing her income because of their inconsistently not only did they refuse to refund the day she was sent home early and the days they wouldn't let her attend it was a hassle to get back what they owed after they expelled her from the program. Not only that they flat out refused at first. The fact that they have to bribe the parents for positive Google reviews speaks volumes. I strongly do not recommend this place to anybody who loves their special needs children."

"We have been with kindercare for over a year now. There has been some struggles with staffing issues but those have slowed down with the new staff. I can tell the teachers really do care about each child when they have something fun to share each day. My daughter can be shy with new people however she likes her teachers and friends. We've experienced the infant and troddler rooms and can't wait to continue our learning journey!"

"We have had wonderful experience at West Des Moines Kindercare! We love watching our daughter learn new things from school everyday. Teachers are kind, caring and supportive. My daughter really loves her teachers and that’s how we know they really take good care of her. They often communicate and update activities and photos through Kindercare app which is very user friendly. The facility is nice and clean."

"I have two kids that attend WDM Kindercare and I could not be happier with the level of care my children receive. The staff are friendly and truly care about the kids they care for. My daughter loves going to school and has learned so much during her time at this center. I love that Kindercare changes their learning curriculum on a regular basis to keep the kids interested and engaged. I also love that they offer a variety of healthy meals and snacks throughout the day. The staff updates the app regularly with meals, naps, bathroom breaks, photos and videos. I cannot imagine sending my kids anywhere else in the area. I trust the staff at this center and know they are doing a great job. Thank you WDM Kindercare!"
