"Our son has made incredible progress with all areas of his development in the short period that we have been at the center.  I have been amazed at what he has learned and what he is capable of doing with the right teacher in the right environment.  The best part of it all is that
 he has FUN while he is learning so much!"

The Larick Early Learning Center is a five star, full day preschool designed to serve three, four and five year olds.  The small class size and experienced certified teacher combine to make this preschool one you should definitely check out.

The preschool follows the West Des Moines Schools' calendar.  The school day starts at 9:15 am and ends at 3:30 pm. Drop off can be as early as 8 am and pick up as late as 4:15.

Organized into six learning centers which are filled with new books and learning materials, the classroom is designed to ensure developmentally appropriate experiences across all domains of learning. 

Large windows throughout let in lots of natural light and give us a view of the ever changing seasons.  The large fenced backyard has plenty of room to run and play and includes a play house, sandbox, and shade from mature trees.

​Why are quality early childhood 
experiences important?

Children who consistently have 
high quality early childhood experiences, 
like those at the Larick Early Learning Center, 
are more likely to be successful in school.

The opposite is also true. 

Children who lack consistent quality early childhood experiences are more likely to start school behind their peers,
and have a harder time catching up.
