Schools in Fort Dodge, IA

“Went to this place when I was younger and absolutely loved it. They always had fun things to do and the teacher were always so kind and would help you with anything you needed :)”

“Our grand daughter started in 3 yo preschool and then 4 yo preschool. We were so impressed that we registered our 6th grade daughter who had previously been homeschooled, as well as grand daughter now in K. Our daughter made honor roll all four quarters. They will be returning next year. The teachers are great and the school is small enough for easy access and everyone knows us. Would recommend to anyone.”

“This was for their annual Halloween pumpkin carving & trunk or treat event. I was so pleasantly surprised. This event is all you need to make a perfect Halloween experience for your family! They offered so much, and all free. Just bring your pumpkins and come in costume. It goes from about 3 pm to 7:30 pm. So when I first got there I was a little worried- it didn't look like much was happening. The parking lot looked completely empty and there were no signs. We drove to the back side and there were more cars there, but you should park off to the side bec that's where the trunk or treating happens. You carry in your pumpkins and it's like a community hall full of long tables. They provide a lot of carving tools but you should bring your own markers, paper towels, LED candles or lights, ziploc bags for your seeds if you want to keep them, props, and paper for design ideas. They have a jackolantern contest at the end, so come prepared with an idea. The one that got the most votes was a simply carved, smaller pumpkin kitty cat design dressed up with a bow tie and fuzzy cat ears. They have prizes for first & second place, too. Come on time so you have plenty of time to work on your pumpkin! After the carving, everyone heads outside for trunk or treat. That was a blast! All the cars are decorated and even my 18 year old participated, no questions asked. They were glad for every trick or treater and there was plenty of GOOD candy! Next, everyone headed in for free grilled hotdogs & soda. The little kiddos got to decorate their own Halloween cookies and play outside on the playground until dark. Then they counted all the votes for the pumpkins and gave out prizes. Our family wasn't able to participate in regular trick or treating, and this more than exceeded our expectations for a fantastic spooky holiday fun event for the whole family to enjoy. Highly recommend!”

“We have been attending Community for the last 9 years since my oldest was 6 weeks old, my kids love going to daycare and all the activities they do, the summer for school agers includes so many fun but yet educational activities with required reading time to keep up for next school year, learning about different career options this year with guest speakers and all kids favorite, field trips to the pool, movies,skating and bowling with picnics every Friday. The food is also healthy and delicious that my kids look forward to eating "Sara's food" and around holidays she makes fun names for the food for kids that makes it fun for the kids. I feel very comfortable going to teachers and directors about concerns and getting any issue addressed immediately! I love how holidays/mothers and fathers day are always made a big deal and the kids make gifts or special projects, the hand made gifts are something parents treasure! I have always felt my kids are safe at daycare and I am kept up to date on any issue/ concern through the day, if my kids had an off day as they acted different or didn't feel well. I would suggest Community to everyone as they are not just a child care facility but they also love all the children there as their own. My daughter is excited to some day work there, goes to show how much she loves it!”
