2 For U Childcare and Preschool

Being first time parents, we were very nervous about sending our daughter to a childcare center. 2 for U goes above and beyond our expectations. Not only do they provide a safe environment for learning but the staff is incredible. The love and care they show our daughter (and now our son) is what any parent would want for their child. I highly recommend 2 for U Childcare.

We've been part of the 2 for U family for over 4 years now. I feel confident and assured dropping my kiddos off each morning that they are safe and loved on, as well as learning new things every day.

There aren’t enough stars to express how much we have loved our 2forU fam. We even drive out of town 40 minutes round trip despite the fact we do have closer centers in town. The teachers of our girls have been completely wonderful and they are sooo fun! Miss Dani in the 2 year old room even braved the water slid so that our daughter would give it a try. It’s such a comfort knowing our daughters are so happy and loved while being cared for. This picture captured at daycare today says it all!

We started taking our daughter to 2 For U when she was an infant. We have now been there over a year and cannot say enough great things! From the management to the teachers to the helpers, I truly feel like my daughter is getting the absolute best care. They do a great job of sending updates and photos throughout the day. It truly means so much as a working parent to see her smiling face, her interacting with her friends and teachers, seeing all of the activities she gets to do and feel like I am not missing out on her learning and developing. I can say with total confidence she is very loved and cared for by her teachers and I would recommend everyone to choose 2 For U for their child. We love them!

Having our child go to 2 For U was a wonderful decision we made. Transitions can be hard for little ones, but the staff at 2ForU was always accommodating and did whatever they could to make it as easy as possible. My child just completed their preschool program and there is no question in my mind, that my child is more than ready for Kindergarten, thanks to the staff and teachers here. If you're looking for a great place for your child to grow, learn to be kind and have excellent kindergarten prep, there is no better choice in Ankeny.

There is not enough starts to give this daycare! Our child has been there since she was 10 weeks old, and is now in her last week before starting Kindergarten! Time flies! I have zero doubts that she is ready for Kindergarten, and we owe it all to 2 for U and their amazing staff!! They have all become like family to our family; teachers from the infant rooms still recognize us all and keep in touch! This center and the amazing staff have helped ease the guilt I had for being a working mom, and their communication is top notch! Our child has made SOOOO many friends, and such great relationships with the teachers! She has grown so much and learned so much in the 5 1/2 years being here. I literally could go on for days! We have LOVED our time at 2 for U and are not ready for this goodbye!

2 for U Childcare is definitely the best job I have ever worked at. Co-Workers are so friendly and passionate about there jobs, making sure the kids are learning something new everyday and keeping them busy throughout the day. The management is professional and understanding, they will help if you have any questions about anything and make sure the kids are learning and the center and rooms are being cleaned and sanitized throughout the day which is a big plus! I enjoy going work and seeing all the smiling faces of the Kiddos and how excited they are to come to daycare. They are so excited and engaged in the activities including the babies. I would 100% recommend 2 for U childcare if you are wanting a clean,friendly, encouraging , and growing environment for any age of child!

I have been working at 2 for U Ankeny for almost 4 years and can honestly say it’s the best center I’ve worked at! While working here I’ve met SO many new friends and have met tons of amazing families. Management is always willing to work with your schedule and is overall just great! I honestly consider this place my second home and actually love coming to work everyday! Highly, highly recommend!!

2 for U in Ankeny, IA has been such a blessing for our family! Our daughter will be starting Kindergarten in the fall and we are sincerely sad to be leaving such a great place where she has absolutely flourished socially and academically. She is fully prepared for Kindergarten, thanks to the staff at 2 for U! I cannot thank them enough for taking such great care of our girl.

I have two children that go here for daycare and am so happy with our experience! The staff are easy to communicate with and they utilize an app to keep parents up to date. They have cameras in the room that can be viewed from the lobby is there are concerns which is super helpful. The price is on the higher end for a center but I will gladly pay more with how great they have been to work with. Highly recommend.

For only being employed at 2 for U Childcare for a couple months now, this hand down is has been my favorite job by far. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. It’s a fun and comfortable feeling coming to work everyday!! The activities the kids get to do and opportunities to learn are awesome!! I would highly recommend 2 for U to anyone looking for safe and fun daycare for their children.

I have two boys that have attended 2 for U Childcare. We have been with this center for almost two years! Both my kids and myself love their teachers!!!! These wonderful ladies, and currently one gentleman, really make me feel comfortable leaving my babies in their care! The brand new center is just an added bonus... they were just as amazing in the old one!
With my oldest who is no longer in daycare (he attends school full time) we had numerous bad experiences with other providers, BUT my reservations were quickly put behind me as my one year old was pushing me out the door the SECOND day!!!!! He was so comfortable and so happy to be there!! And they were perfectly ok with me calling them like three times a day for the first week... :) I was kinda crazy... At this point we actually putting off moving out of state until our youngest will be able to attend school full time simply because we do not really feel comfortable leaving such a great environment and wonderful people for our babies! And that is saying A LOT!

I have loved being an employee at 2 for U Ankeny campus for almost 4 years now. I enjoy walking in in the morning to see all the smiling faces and friendly “hellos” from coworkers and parents alike. Getting to be apart of helping children learn, grow, and discover who they are is one of the most rewarding experiences and I’m lucky enough to do it every day. So thankful for my 2 for U family! ❤

My 3 year old daughter has gone here since she was an infant. Every teacher she's had truly loves and cares for her, and she has learned so much while going to 2 For U. The pictures and updates you get throughout the day are awesome. It's a nice peace of mind knowing she's in a great environment while my husband and I are at work. We love 2 For U!

I have worked at this daycare for a year and a half now. I love going to work and being able to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children. I work on a great team. There have been many new challenges brought on by the pandemic and the directors and staff have handled it with grace and grit. I have appreciated the transparency of the directors through it all. #worksomewhereyoulove

When I moved 30 miles away from Ankeny, Everyone asked why wouldn’t you find a job at another daycare closer to you? The answer was simple. I absolutely love coming into work everyday knowing that I will be surrounded by genuine, supportive, caring and fun loving staff and receiving unconditional love and endless fun from the children. I love knowing that I am learning something new about childcare everyday and will take it with me throughout life. I appreciate the flexibility and awesome work environment that 2 For U provides.

We absolutely love 2 for U! Both of our girls have gone there since they were infants and we have had a great experience! The teachers and staff truly care about the kids and it shows. It means so much to us to know our kids are in great hands while we have to work.

Where do I even begin! They send you tons of pictures of your infant throughout the day and in every picture she’s having fun and smiling. You have no idea how much this means to a working parent. To see your child love her daily routine while you are at work makes everything so much easier. I would highly recommend 2 for U if you’re wanting a center that allows your child to grow and learn while giving them individual love and attention equal to what you would give. They’re the best!!

My son & daughter both go here & we couldn't be more pleased with their care! They are challenged with a fun learning curriculum. The center has always been clean & organized & most importantly they are cared for & loved for the individuals they are. Any concerns we have for our children have always been addressed & dealt with in a very professional manner. We love 2 for U!

We have had our little one at 2 For U since she was 10wks old (now almost 5)! I have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say about this center; from the communication to the amazing things they’ve taught our daughter, to the “family” we have gained! She loves going to daycare, and that makes me love them even more!
