Meet Our Director
Hello, 2 For U families!
My name is Jen Parscal, and I am thrilled to join 2ForU Childcare Center as your new Center Director. I studied Elementary Education at Regis University in Denver, CO and bring more that 20 years of experience in the early childhood education field.
Although I’ve spent the past 25 years living in North Carolina and Montana, I am originally from the greater Des Moines area and am excited to be back home in Iowa. My husband and I have been married for 20 years and have three children, two in college and one who will be entering 8th grade this fall. As both an educator and a parent, I know how important it is to find a place where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. That’s why I am so excited to be part of the 2 For U family.
I look forward to getting to know all of our wonderful children and families and partnering with you to help every child learn, grow, and thrive. Thank you for welcoming me. I can’t wait to meet you!
