Traditions Children's Center 5783 Vista Drive, West Des Moines, IA 50266

"My daughter is in the two year old room and LOVES it there! The staff treats her like the little princess she is❤️ I have been insanely nervous about her going back to daycare because of mistreatment at another place in another town but they have gone above and beyond to put my mind at ease❤️"

"My almost 3 year old has been attending Tradition's Children's Center for a year now. We know the staff well and they are excellent. There has recently been some management changes and the center continues to improve all the time. My son started in the 2 year old room which he absolutely loved. He is now in the 3 year old room and gets a thrill every day going to "school" here. He is engaged in age appropriate activities all day. The new director, Megan is wonderful and truly cares about the staff and all of the children. My son will continue to attend Tradition's Children's Center for as long as possible. It is a loving, caring center that truly values parent input and nurturing each child."

"Horrendous place to send your children. There was recently a video posted from staff members holding a young child under a plastic tote outside. In the video you can hear her terrified screaming, and the people holding the tote down, and videoing the event, laughing as the child screams. I know this little girl personally. Being special needs, this goes above and beyond a 'joke' and is FAR from funny. Parents were not notified of this AT ALL. We only know because of the viral video. DHS and local police have been notified. I can only hope this is made right!! Absolutely sickening. DO NOT send your children here!"

"Traditions has been like a second family to us for the past 9 years. Both of our daughters have attended since they were 3 months old and the teachers at the center truly know and love our girls. The various programs (before-and after school care, preschool, summer) are very well-run but ultimately it's the teachers, and the wonderful director, who make this center what it is - they are the BEST. I'll be sad to say goodbye one day when our girls age out of the daycare system. Traditions has been one of the best parenting decisions we ever made."

"i absolutely love this place, both my children have come here since they were able to start daycare. The location is perfect. All staff is welcoming and understanding as can be alongside rules and regulations. My oldest is now in school and I love that they bus to most West Des Moines and Waukee schools! My kids will definitely be continuing daycare here until they're at the age they can no longer attend."
