Welcome! Our team of teachers is dedicated to providing an enriching experience for all ages and stages. The STEM Lab is the perfect place to experiment and explore, and the Music Exploration Room encourages creativity and imaginative play. Our outdoor gardening boxes allow little hands to dig in and explore their environment, and the Growing Readers nook is a cozy place to foster a love of literacy. Unstructured downtime is also important, and our Movement Matters Zone and expansive playgrounds provide plenty of room to run, jump, and play.
Michelle - Center Director
Take a look inside MercyOne Child Development Center from the comfort of your own home! You’ll see our warm, welcoming environments, enriching classrooms, and inspiring spaces that spark independence, curiosity, and learning.
Your child’s safety and wellness is our top priority. We continue to monitor state and local public health guidelines, look to our medical expert, and use our considerable experience to guide our health and safety practices. Our centers take important steps to ensure the very best for every child, and the Health and Wellness portion of our World at Their Fingertips® curriculum incorporates lessons about these essential topics into every classroom, every day.
Our families come from nearby communities and organizations, including Downtown Des Moines, Mercy Hospital, and Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC.) Located near I-235 on 6th Ave., at a DART stop, we're easy to get to for drop-off and pick-up.
