Children who turn four years old on or before September 15th and are Iowa residents are eligible to participate in Iowa's FREE Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program (SWVPP) right here at Kiddie Karrasel Academy, in partnership with the Pleasant Valley School District! Iowa's SWVPP provides four-year-olds with free access to a quality, school-readiness-focused pre-kindergarten program — and at Kiddie Karrasel, it's seamlessly built into your child's day, led by a licensed teacher in their own classroom. No extra transportation, no extra transitions, just uninterrupted learning in a place they already know and love. For families who need more than the 9–11:30 AM preschool hours, we offer full-day wraparound care that extends before and after the pre-kindergarten program. Your child gets the best of both worlds: the academic foundation of Iowa's state Pre-K program combined with the nurturing, enriched environment of Kiddie Karrasel Academy's full-day care — all in one place, with the teachers and friends they see every day.

We are committed to making your transition away from home natural and easy for both you and your child. In our calm, home-like, safe and secure environment, our teachers spend ample amounts of time rocking, cuddling and talking to your baby. Through thoughtful efforts, they will turn ordinary care-giving routines into teachable moments, based on your baby’s individual needs, developmental level and best practices. We respect and value you as a parent and your parenting style and partner with you to develop a schedule for your infant that will include ample playtime, cozy nap-times, and secure feeding times. We utilize this schedule as our guide to introduce activities that will stimulate both the brain and body and will focus on skills linked to cognitive, social, language, large and fine-motor development. We believe strongly in communication between parent and teacher/care-giver, therefore, we offer opportunities throughout your child's day to communicate through an app, email, in person or via phone. We keep you informed about your babies day from feeding, sleeping, diapering and learning activities, and we capture special moments with candid photos throughout the day and share them with you at the center or through our app. At Kiddie Karrasel Academy we provide your baby with an extraordinary environment filled with lots of nuturing, love and unlimited fun!! https://www.kiddiekarraselacademy.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Contact Us https://www.kiddiekarraselacademy.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-13 https://www.kiddiekarraselacademy.com/early-learners daily 0.75 2023-12-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74ffebc4808e25fd728afe/1584731604074-1CKOKSLQJRD99EJUAJMT/kristin-brown-3kBtYrZ0-hw-unsplash.jpg Early Learners - Early Learners (18 months -2.5 years) Early Learner Options: Full time care Part time care Drop in or back up care Preschool (2, 3 or 5 day option) All options are based on space availability Our Early Learners program will keep small hands busy and minds engaged through countless activities focusing on both educational fundamentals and social skill development. Our program supports primary care giving as well as continuity of care. This allows for a group of children and caregivers to remain together until the child transitions into PreKindergarten, eliminating transitions for young children and helping to establish strong relationships between the children, their families, and the caregivers. Our curriculum supports the Iowa early learning standards and the Creative Curriculum. Our classroom environment supports NAEYC's concept of developmentally appropriate practice with learning that enhances creative play, social and emotional development, language and literacy development, art, music, math, science, computer, fine and gross motor skills. Unlike many other programs, your child does not have to be potty trained. Children potty-train at their own pace, you and your child’s teacher will work together to provide the best environment for successfully reaching this milestone. https://www.kiddiekarraselacademy.com/pre-kindergarten daily 0.75 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74ffebc4808e25fd728afe/1584731604074-1CKOKSLQJRD99EJUAJMT/kristin-brown-3kBtYrZ0-hw-unsplash.jpg https://www.kiddiekarraselacademy.com/before-after-school daily 0.75 2020-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74ffebc4808e25fd728afe/1584731604074-1CKOKSLQJRD99EJUAJMT/kristin-brown-3kBtYrZ0-hw-unsplash.jpg Before & After School - Before & After School (K-12) Whether your need for care is before and after school hours, elementary school holidays or early dismissal days we offer a variety of options: Before school care After school care Holiday care Summer break care We carefully plan fun, hands-on lessons and activities to support the interest of each child, whether it is technology, sports, art, quiet reading, drama, organized games, cooking or science and our programs build in plenty of time for outdoor recreation and fun. https://www.kiddiekarraselacademy.com/careers daily 0.75 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74ffebc4808e25fd728afe/b8753771-6668-44ee-bcf8-ea7dce1c6b64/White+and+Purple+Minimalist+Hiring+Flyer+%283%29.png https://www.kiddiekarraselacademy.com/faq daily 0.75 2026-01-19
