Meet Our Director
Hello! My name is Misty Hiatt, and I am the Director at 2forU West Campus in West Des Moines. I have been in the early childhood field for many years. I started as a part-time teacher and worked my way to the Director role. I have been married for 30 years to my wonderful husband. We have a daughter, two grandchildren and a black Lab fur daughter. Children are the reason I do what I do.
I love hearing their laughter, seeing those wonderful “aha!” moments, and you just never know what they are going to say! It warms my heart when the children say good morning and good night to me. I am excited to be at 2 For U and look forward to getting to know all of our children and families.
