Welcome to Handicare

At Handicare, we believe that all children deserve the opportunity to grow and develop in a nurturing environment that encourages their full participation, a philosophy that’s reflected throughout our infant, toddler, preschool and school-complement programs.

We’re proud of our 30+ year history of caring for kids from diverse backgrounds, including those with special needs.  That higher standard of care means every Handicare child receives specialized attention.

Parents appreciate our commitment to quality, our professionally trained staff, and high staff-to-child ratio. We offer flexible hours and a convenient location, part-time billing options, and a host of “extras” at no charge.

We invite you to join the Handicare family.

Handicare is a child care facility licensed by the State of Iowa and follows all the rules and regulations as outlined by the Child Care Licensing Standards. A copy of these standards is available by request or can be found on the DHS website as Chapter 109 of the administrative rules. Many of the policies and procedures in the manual were taken directly from Caring for Our Children, Health and Safety Standards, third edition.
