Our Facilities

Ames Community Preschool Center's main center in the heart of Ames, Iowa offers year-round daycare and preschool programming for children ages 6 weeks to pre-K. Located near downtown Ames, the main center has everything a child needs to reach their potential. The site includes eight spacious classrooms, an indoor gym, well-appointed library, three distinct playgrounds outfitted with equipment for different age groups, outdoor learning classroom, and a large green space. Kitchens, meeting space, and administrative offices round out the facilities. The center is also home to allergy-friendly pets including fish and snails as well as a vegetable garden grown by students with the help of staff, enriching their experience.

We are also proud to offer high quality on-site after-school care at each of the Ames elementary schools: Edwards, Fellows, Kate Mitchell, Meeker, and Sawyer. Our on-site school-age care allows children to extend their days at their elementary schools while receiving mentorship, educational activities, and outdoor time aiding their growth and development on school property.

Tours are available by appointment.
