Testimonials

We believe our strongest supporters are all of the children and their families with which we have bonded with. Below is just a sampling of some of the things you will hear our clients speak about us.

"Prior to coming to Koalaty Time my husband and I had tried other daycare options and toured several different daycare facilities. As new parents we thought maybe our expectations were unrealistic and that we would have to settle for something that we viewed as less than perfect, but when we toured Koalaty Time we were instantly comforted and knew we had found the perfect place for our daughter.
Koalaty Time is clean, the teachers, directors and staff are all so friendly and caring and I really appreciate the focus they have on child development.
Now that Charlotte is approaching 2 years old it's been so much fun to see what new thing she's learned at "school" that day and to see how proud she is of her art projects and other daily accomplishments. I know that Charlotte is safe, loved and happy at Koalaty Time and that feeling is absolutely priceless."

"Our children have attended several daycares in the Des Moines area. Each of the previous locations left us feeling our children were not getting the best care available. That is no longer the case. We finally found Koalaty Time and we are thrilled!
The owner, directors, teachers and care givers all have the same priority and that is the safety, nurturing and development of our children. Koalaty Time is not just another daycare; they truly are a child development center. Their child to teacher ratio is unmatched and the class sizes are reasonable. The curriculum for each classroom is consistent and thoughtful. The teachers provide superior childcare in a safe, clean, structured and positive environment.
Since starting at Koalaty Time my children have blossomed! They have fun and they enjoy learning. Koalaty Time introduces our children to a vast array of knowledge through reading, music, games and interactive events. This is the best learning facility for early childhood development.
Koalaty Time is the first daycare that I felt partnered with parents. They feel like family. I love them! And best of all, I know my children are safe and well cared for. I never worry about them when they are in Koalaty Time's care. It's like dropping my children off with their grandparents. Absolutely priceless!"

"As a first time mom, I was nervous about leaving my little one in the hands of strangers. The staff at Koalaty Time was reassuring and insisted I call or come in whenever I wanted. The first week was hard but I knew my daughter was being cared for by kind and loving people. The projects she makes and the notes she brings home everyday that tell me what she did are very special. When I walk in the door every morning my little girl is greeted by name at the front desk and leaves in the evenings with a good bye. And they can always get a smile on her face."

"As do most parents, I have high expectations for the care my children receive throughout their youth. Daycare plays a critical role in this process by ensuring they are kept as safe & happy as possible when I can't be with them. Koalaty Time recently had a center-wide transition for the new school year. Both of my kids (ages 1 and 3) moved rooms and because change is not easy for anyone, there were some questions and concerns that I had. I addressed them with Jan and she immediately guided me through the process and has made myself and my children comfortable with the move. Jan took the time to explain to me what she has learned through her research and time in the business and I now know that these different stages in a daycare center are crucial in a child's development. As hard as it is to see your baby cry because she isn't familiar with her surroundings, it is really teaching her to be a stronger individual and to venture out to bigger and better things. I put a lot of trust in Koalaty Time and have grown attached to the caring, nurturing teachers that have, in a sense, helped me raise my kids. From potty training to manners to creative art, I believe the opportunities are endless."

"We have been with Koalaty Time since my son was 3 months old. For the last 2 1/2 years we have been so pleased with how the entire center has grown to know, not only my son, but also my husband and I. It feels like an extended family! The staff at Koalaty Time is always cheerful, friendly and loving.
Their expertise in child development is very impressive! They have created the perfect mix of fun and learning in each day's activities. Their Daily Grams are the first thing we look at to see a detailed summary of the amazing things he has done for the day. The art projects are terrific, they do things you would NEVER think of or NEVER want to attempt at home!
Communication is also strength of the center. As a working parent, I want to know about Noah's development and what they are observing each day. Whether it be positive or a challenge area (as we are living the 'terrific' twos and threes) the staff keeps the lines of communication open to celebrate a milestone or to support a challenge. They are always in tuned to support you as a parent.
I recommend Koalaty Time with very high regard. It is the BEST!
