Who We Are
A faith-based learning center in Waverly, Iowa
Faith
All decisions are made based on our deeply-rooted faith. It is our mission to help families develop deeper connections by providing the highest quality childcare and support services, based on Christian principles.
Family
Family is the most important aspect of all our lives. We value being deeply connected to the families in our care and want to maintain a family feel in each classroom.
Fun
We incorporate fun into our program every day by encouraging the children to explore, imagine, and create new things!
Future
The formative years of children from birth to five make the biggest impact on their future. Instilling in them the educational components of math, literacy, science and technology, as well as social and emotional skills, sets them out well-prepared on the path for kindergarten.

Testimonials
What our parents say
"We love Families First Center! It has been such a blessing for our family to have a safe and fun environment for our younger children to spend a part of their day at while I focus on homeschooling our older children."
“Our 2 yr old is eager to go to "school" each day to see her friends and teachers. She is loved, well taken care of, and brings home new skills and interests all the time. Families First is not just childcare, but a wonderful part of our child's life."
"After struggling to find a good fit daycare for our daughter, we landed at Families First and haven’t looked back since! This place is where our daughter is loved, happy, and always having fun.”
