About Us
Our mission is to provide safe, affordable, and high-quality childcare for families in the Ankeny and surrounding communities.
We strive to be a home away from home for all children in our care. Our goal is to support children’s desire to be life-long learners by providing them with age-appropriate education throughout their preschool years. We truly believe the future of the world is in our center!
Meet the Team
Our learning academy is only as strong as our teachers. Our entire team here at Ankeny Lil Tots embodies our mission to provide safe, affordable, and high-quality childcare for families.
Center Directors
Keyara Adams & Erica Abbott
Keyara and Erica have been with Lil' Tots since the doors opened in June 2014. Keyara and Erica have both worked in childcare centers since the age of 16. Their passion for working with kids extended beyond high school and led them to AS Early Childhood Education degrees. Being parents themselves, they recognize the type of quality care all children deserve. They want every child that enters the door to be excited to come to school and see their teachers and friends. Keyara & Erica see the need for a well-rounded center that provides a fun and nurturing environment with meaningful educational experiences.
On-Site Supervisor
Rachel Sheeks
Rachel has been with Ankeny Lil' Tots since January 2015. Rachel has her degree in Elementary Education and loves putting that to use as a leader in our Preschool Program. As a mother of two, Rachel decided to take on the role of preschool teacher so that she could come to work each day with her kiddos. Rachel is one of our on-site supervisors whose daily tasks include teaching our preschool program, office filing, and center tours.
On-Site Supervisor
Cassie Lee
Cassie has been with Ankeny Lil' Tots since October 2015. Cassie's years of childcare experience made her a great addition to our toddler team at Lil' Tots. After a few years at Lil' Tots, Cassie expressed interest in helping out with a few managerial tasks. While Cassie still remains part of our toddler team, you can find her at the front desk overseeing the center on Friday's.
