Request InfoDaycare, Preschool, and School-Age Care in Ankeny, IA
Welcome to 2forU Childcare and Preschool on SW Ankeny Road in Ankeny, Iowa. We care for children from 6 weeks through school age, Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Families tell us our team is polite, warm, and welcoming, and that our school feels like a small family.
Many of our teachers have been with us for a very long time, so children see familiar faces year after year, and families build real relationships with the people who care for their kids. Children also enjoy weekly enrichment like Tippy Toes dance, Soccer Shots, and music class for our youngest learners.
What Makes Us Different
- Before and After School Care: A safe, fun place for school-age children before and after school, with homework help and time to play.
- School Breaks and Summer Care: Full-day care on school-out days and all summer long, with weekly themes and field trips for school-agers.
- Fresh, In-House Meals: Nutritious meals cooked daily in our own kitchen, giving children comforting, home-style food they enjoy.
- Community Choice Award 2025 Winner: A recognition of the trust and love families have for our school.
