We partner with the Iowa City Community School District to offer a free, 2.5-hour preschool program taught by a licensed teacher, and we also incorporate elements of the curriculum into the rest of our childcare for 3-4-year old's. Our before-and-after school program and summer kids' club serve school-aged children in grades K-3.
