Meet the Team

Dedicated & Certified

Care Providers

We believe that at Ankeny Christian Child Care, our teachers are our greatest contributors to quality care. We make investing in our teachers a main priority. We participate in many additional programs to recruit and, more importantly, retain high-quality staff. We promote from within and provide many voluntary benefits to our teachers to minimize turnover. Consistency is critical to fostering long-lasting relationships between children and their care providers.
