MCC is simply the best. We have taken our two children there for seven years as have had nothing…read morebut an incredible experience. MCC is like family to us! It's so wonderful having a place we completely trust and are thankful to send our kids to. I love the Montessori philosophy and inquiry based learning methods. They do such a great job supporting children's natural curiosity while also teaching independence, responsibility and important life skills. I've been so impressed with how's much my kids have learned and how's much fun they have! They love their teachers, they do so many fun activities and never seem to get bored. I'm also impressed with how often the activities in the room change, and all the cool arts projects they bring home! The owner and all the teachers are truly the best people; kind, nurturing, patient with a solid sense of humor. We're so lucky to have MCC in our lives!

Overall I like this daycare. I've taken my son here since he turned 2 and plan on continuing until…read morehe has to enter Kindergarten. While, they're not as strict as other Montessori daycares, I find that a good approach. Children are meant to be children and they discover with play. Applying strict rules to everything restricts kids imagination but that doesn't mean that they are not given structure. As far as I've seen, they keep the kids active during the summer, and whenever weather permits during the winter. I like that they don't have TV and their playground is great. They are right across from a park so they go there during the summer sometimes. The only thing Im not too happy about is when I've called to let them know about something, I feel like i'm always rushed by the person at the other end.

My kids have gone here for several years and we always feel we are listened to about their needs…read more They have a multi purpose room that the kids can go in if it's too cold or raining outside. The open door policy is great and you can pick up or drop off anytime needed. The kids' teachers are always willing to chat and let us know about how my kids' day went.

My sister got bitten 3 times with one scar on the back of the arm still there , no one care when is…read morebleeding and not take any action or serious about it. She is lucky she don't have any infection for it and they don't tell my mom about it The manager just says it's her day off every time, and even your kids have problems as for talking to owner and the owner is so busy cause I call the owner and solve problems, good luck put your kids here .if I could give zero stars I would.They have new silly Policy only from there daycare in whole town have it no one else you will hear it that if you bring 360 diaper pull up they wont let you and they say it's because take 2-3 more minutes ( reason from owner because wasted time for kids to learn activities) so funny if your kids not comfortable how they can learn but they did not care, anyway make sure you know before sign up for your kids they just care for your money , fast and convenient for there employees not for kids not even put kids on first priority, not sure what your kids will learn from them if they don't have any patience for it.

You will not regret investing in your child's education and most important their safety at Cadence…read moreAcademy located in Clive. I do firmly believe that this school offers high quality education, and this school shines so bright because its NAEYC accredited. This school facilitates a unique curriculum called Ascend, which has been carefully and expertly prepared by early education professionals to enhance your child's learning experience. Children are respected, nurtured, and challenged. Every student has ongoing opportunities to learn important skills, knowledge, and dispositions. Educators guide children to make meaningful decisions throughout the day. Differences are celebrated at this school, children's home language and culture are respected, appreciated and incorporated into the curriculum and the classroom. Educators offer children learning opportunities by carefully preparing individual, small-group, and large-group activities. The Ascend curriculum provides young children the opportunity to learn basic school readiness skills. Inside of the classrooms, there are positive relationships between teachers and children. All classrooms are well-equipped, with sufficient materials and toys. Communication occurs throughout the day, with mutual listening, talking/responding, and encouragement to use reasoning and problem-solving. Educators will provide opportunities for art, music/movement, science, math, block play, sand, water, and dramatic play are provided daily. There are materials and activities to promote understanding and acceptance of diversity. (Parents are encouraged to be involved in all aspects of the program!) Another important benefit this school provides is kindness. Your child will feel loved, nurtured and learn how to develop (kind) and meaningful relationships through the Kindness Curriculum that is yet another unique piece integrated into your child's experience. I highly recommend visiting this school, engaging with the educators and inquiring on any classroom openings! 515-987-2137.

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!
