Welcome to Children’s Garden

The mission of The Children’s Garden is to serve as a nonprofit parent cooperative. We are committed to providing a high-quality childcare program in a stable and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of young children from all races, creeds, and national origins, while responding to the needs of the family.

We’re here to help your children learn, grow, and thrive. We aren’t here to make a profit.

Children’s Garden is the only nonprofit parent cooperative childcare organization currently operating in the state of Iowa. That means that our operations are governed and operated by our parent membership. Our parental involvement provides a higher level of transparency and engagement than anywhere else.

For more than 75 years, Children’s Garden has helped our community’s children grow and learn. We’re proud of our history and look forward to helping your child prepare for the future.
