Allie and Erin are like family to us now. They have provided amazing care for our two daughters. My oldest daughter (2 years old) asks about going to go daycare over the weekend because she loves Allie and Erin so much. She provides a safe, clean and playful enviroment that my kids have thrived in. I give them a lot of credit for my two year old having such a good vocabulary and her ability to manage her emotions. It's a smaller daycare so they are able to give the kids a lot of attention. They both were teachers before opening the daycare so they truly care about the kids learning and developing skills that will help once they go to school. Allie is also very understanding about needing a flexible schedule at times and is easy to communicate with. One of my favorite things is that they use the brightwheel app so I can check in on how my girls are doing throughout the day. If you're looking for a in-home daycare in Ankeny - I recommend reaching out to Allie!
