Who We Are at All Star Daycare and Preschool

Committed to Caring for Des Moines Children Since 2005

All Star Daycare and Preschool began with one simple mission — to provide a safe, enriching, and reliable child care experience for families in the Des Moines area. Since opening our doors in 2005, we’ve been proud to support children from infancy through their preschool years with personalized care, early education, and a focus on emotional and social growth.


As a licensed facility with capacity for 75 children, we understand that each family’s needs are unique. Our team works closely with parents to ensure every child thrives, feels secure, and is excited to learn each day.


Our Philosophy

We believe early childhood is a critical time for development. At All Star Daycare and Preschool, we focus on creating an environment where children are free to explore, play, ask questions, and engage with their surroundings under the guidance of trained, compassionate caregivers.


We encourage curiosity, celebrate milestones, and help children build the social and academic skills that lay the foundation for lifelong learning.

Our Team

Our staff members are not only experienced in early childhood education but also dedicated to forming strong, nurturing relationships with every child in their care. We require all team members to complete regular training and certifications in child development, health, and safety to maintain our high standard of care.
