Bora
Parent & Associate Teacher

"Neighborhood Centers was the first place to welcome me when I came here. They helped me and my children so much — I see their growth, and I know it’s a fruit of this place."

Valencia
Parent

“My kids have been part of Neighborhood Centers for 13 years. It’s more than a program — it’s been our anchor. Every family should have access to this kind of support.”

Jana
Early Childhood Director

"Early childhood education is one of the best ways to give children a strong start in life. In Iowa, affordable, high-quality child care is hard to find — and without the right funding, we can’t keep providing what our families need.”

Colleen
Lead Preschool Teacher

“We don’t just care for kids — we build learning environments based on what each child needs. When we meet them where they are, they thrive. That’s what high-quality early education should be.”
