Children's Village West

The Children’s Village at Hoover opened its doors for students in August of 1998. It began as an early learning center licensed for 80 children, ages six weeks to five years of age. In the fall of 2003, three new classrooms were constructed adding room for 38 new students. This program currently offers one full day classroom for birth to two-year olds, one full day classroom for two-year olds, two full day self-contained special education classrooms, two full day classrooms for three-year olds, two full day classrooms for four-year olds, one morning only classroom for four-year olds, one morning only classroom for three-year olds, and two afternoon only classrooms for four-year olds. Also in 2003, The Children’s Village at Hayes was opened. This program currently provides one full day three-year old program, and one full day four-year old program. In the fall of 2004, due to the demand and need of our families in our community, Children’s Village West was added to the early learning programs. This program currently offers one full day classroom for infants, one full day classroom for one-year olds, one full day classrooms for two-year olds, four full day self-contained special education classrooms, two full day classrooms for three-year olds, three full day classrooms for four-year olds, two morning only classrooms for three-year olds, one afternoon only classroom for three year olds, one morning only classroom for four-year olds, two afternoon only classrooms for four year olds. In response to community input, the Children’s Villages has also started partnering with the elementary schools to provide Statewide Voluntary Preschool Services. The SWVPP – 4 Year Old Program is taught by a teacher certified in early childhood and special education and follows the same standards and benchmarks, curriculum and assessment schedule as the Children’s Village Preschool Program. The children attending this program must be a resident of the State of Iowa, and turn four either on or before September 15th of the current school year.

Our mission is to provide young children and their families with a high quality educational experience that ensures all children are ready for kindergarten.
