My son went here for over two years before he transitioned to public school. He is on the high functioning spectrum, and they made every possible loving accommodation for him. I still stay in contact with some of the classroom teachers to this day. I can’t say enough good things about this daycare! 100% top notch. Nothing in the world is perfect, but these teachers are top of the line near perfection!!

I am so lucky to have my daughter attend Westlakes KinderCare. Everyone there is so welcoming. There is an overwhelming sense of teamwork at this center, and I know my daughter is well cared for. I am also impressed with their curriculum! She comes home and tells me new things every day. She has a lot of pride in her education, and friends, at Westlakes KinderCare.

10/10 recommend KinderCare West Lakes; the staff, director and assistant director are nothing but amazing! We started over 2 years ago here and have felt like family since day 1. Very caring, welcoming and all over a great facility. My kiddos absolutely love it here :)

Please do not listen to Lily’s review. She has already been called out multiple times on several different sites. She first posted the bad reviews on Facebook, and when asked and questioned about the accusations, she refused to have convections and just deleted the posts. She was fired from KinderCare due to her poor employment status, hence the lashing out on KinderCare. She 100% needs to be reported for slander. KinderCare is amazing, especially this one. It is very professional, and they take the time to spend quality time with each kiddo. They will blow your app up with the most adorable photos of your kiddo. And they are always grinning ear to ear.KinderCare is amazing ❤️

I am an Early Childhood Educator of 4 years. I have my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education. What I am about to say does not come from a place of ignorance. Westlakes Kindercare in West Des Moines has been allowed to operate while covering up abuse and neglect of children and staff. My daughter was hurt by a teacher there and nothing was done to the teacher. She was allowed to remain in the classroom with my daughter. I was physically assaulted by a coworker. After the investigation, I was called in to the office and fired because I would not "look the other way" and ignore basic regulations and Early Childhood Education Standards. IWD determined I was wrongfully terminated as well as other government agencies. I have emailed and called anyone I could on the Early Childhood Iowa Board. Parents at this center have called DHS with nothing changing. Infants are allowed to cry for hours on end on the floor to self soothe. Employees most days do not get breaks. Classrooms are consistently out of ratio. Teachers have lied on daily sheets sent home with children. Children are not safe in any way at this center. Please call licensing and if you have a child in this center or know of anyone that does advise them that their children are not safe and need to be removed immediately. I am not the only former staff member that has come forward to management about past issues.

We love our Westlakes Kindercare family! Our two year old has loved each room and comes home with something new he’s learned each day. We also have a 5 month old and couldn’t adore/trust the infant room teachers more. It has been a very positive experience for us over the past two years. Ms. Martha the center director is absolutely wonderful to work with as well!

Our experience has been wonderful at kindercare. Their teachers and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and overall excellent with our baby. Choosing childcare can be a tough decision, especially when it’s for your first child - I’m glad we chose the Westlakes kindercare, as it’s helped put us at ease while I’ve transitioned back to work.

The staff is very nice and helpful, very well thought-out curriculum for the children. Our little one loves the interaction. She has learned to share, as she is an only child.
