WELCOME to The Children’s Center! The mission of our non-profit childcare center, since it was established in 2005 as the Greene County Early Learning Center, has been to “provide quality care in a learning environment.” Thanks to many donors in our community including businesses, families, individuals and entities including Grow Greene County and the State of Iowa, we now have our own building at 306 South Vine in Jefferson.
Because “growth happens here,” we care for children two weeks of age up to 5th grade in a building that is especially designed for early childhood development and education in rooms that are created with each age in mind.
You want the best for your child and so do we. These early years are an important period of development and learning for your child. Childcare is a partnership: Parents know their child best and we know how children typically develop. When we share information, we build a bridge between home and childcare for your child.
"My children have been in several daycare centers and The Children's Center, by far, surpasses any of the other centers in attentiveness, passion for their work, dedication to each and every child and family, educational opportunities, and relationship building. I believe that any organization that works with children does not just simply babysit children, but must foster their academic, behavioral and social/emotional growth – THIS is what TCC does."
"The Children's Center has been an invaluable resource for our community, providing much needed child care services!"
"Had it not been for the availability of child care and the positive reputation of the the Children's Center, I ultimately would not have looked into making Jefferson our home."
"The Children's Center, an extremely valuable asset in our community, provides a safe, reliable childcare service to working parents."
Are you looking for a way to make a DIFFERENCE for kids? Donations are still needed for Phase 2 Playground and additional funding in the new building. If you can help, PLEASE let us know! THANK YOU!
