We love Fields of Fun but more importantly my son loves it!
We switched to Fields of Fun when my son was 18 months. He was having severe separation anxiety, at another daycare, to the point that he was vomiting. Within 2 weeks, at Fields of Fun, he started walking into his room and not even giving me a second look. Sometimes he cries when I pick him up to go home!!!
Also within a week of starting,, he was proficiently signing “more” and “all done” which we had been trying to do for months.
Can’t recommend Fields of Fun enough!

I have 3 children (8, 2, and 1) they have been attending since March 2023. my oldest LOVED the summer program! and my 2 and 1 year old have loved every teacher they've had so far, my youngest has been in both baby rooms, and is about to move into the older 1s. my daughter just moved from both 1 year old rooms into one of the 2 year old rooms, and I have been so happy with all of the staff.
I also work at fields of fun and I love coming to work every day. my co workers, my bosses, the children and parents all make every day worth coming to work!

I love FOF! My children have been going here since they were infants and I can honestly say that this place has contributed to their development tremendously! They help with potty training and teach colors, ABCs, and much more. The staff is phenomenal. Plus daily photos and communication
-Ally M.
Since the first day at Fields of Fun, our son has thrived. We get almost daily pictures and/or videos. Lots of art and creative ways for our son to express himself.
One of my favorite things about Fields of Fun, is all the fun things that are done. During holidays, there are weekly activities, art to come home, and festive things that parents can be involved in as well.

We have had a tough time finding good childcare since our son was born in 2020. Unfortunate events at our previous care lead me to pulling our son out of daycare. We were reluctant on trusting a daycare again. But we found Fields of Fun shortly after they opened and have been enrolled ever since. We love the staff. Our son is learning so much and we are so lucky to have found such a great, clean, safe place for our son to be cared for. Without question I would recommend Fields of Fun.

I was reaching out to a bunch of daycares in the area and fields of fun was the first and only daycare to reply the day I reached out. They were very easy to work with while setting up a tour to walk through the daycare and made everything very easy for us! A big reason I wanted a daycare center over an in home is because I wanted something structured to help my son learn and that’s exactly what fields of fun provides! My son has been there for over a year and he’s hitting all of his milestones for his age and they are even helping him potty train! I’m definitely thankful I found this place!
-Abby M.
I cant say enough about the Fields of Fun staff and team members. They do an amazing job of with the kids and are very outgoing with the families. The staff take the time to understand to learn each child's personalities and help them grow! Go Fields of Fun!

Fields of Fun Childcare is an amazing place to work, not only do I attend as an employee, but I have 3 children of my own that attend as well. Working in school districts/childcare for over 10 years, it is very hard as a parent to find a safe place, with safe people you can trust. I get an inside look first hand at that on a daily basis. I know my children are well taken care of, fed, and safe at all hours of the day, because I can check up on them and I get to know my fellow employees on a more personal connection getting to know their work ethics. If I didn’t feel this was a good place I would not be here but I’m already past my second year here and I love the support, commitment, and community that my fellow coworkers and management provide daily. It’s fair pricing both as an employee and as a parent compared to most and has the best staff to trust with your children!!! I truly don’t recommend any other place besides FOF!

I sent my son for the school age summer program here, and they did a magnificent job caring for him. Natalie is amazing in the school age room, always coming up with fun activities for the kids and alternatives for field trips if the weather is bad. Coming in and out of the daycare all summer, I did not see one person on their personal phones. This daycare is also up to DHS standard. I can tell this daycare has very high standards which is much appreciated, and honestly a rare gem to find in society these days. Thanks so much Fields of Fun, Natalie and Taryn!

Fields of fun is a great daycare with caring staff! They taught my daughter so much and always kept us informed on everything.
-Kyle V.
Fields of Fun has an excellent summer care program for school aged children, with many activities and field trips, and wonderful staff and owner. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place for their children to go. The facility is very clean and nicely equipped with toys, playgrounds, and healthy good food. They also have a great security system in place and easy to use technology for checking in and out. If I had younger children at this time, I would certainly also take them there. Top notch place!
-Kristin B.
Great daycare. Clean facility and very friendly staff.
-Jacob
My daughter goes here and she’s always excited to get dropped off to her class. Since starting she has learned to crawl on her hands and knees instead of her army crawl.
-Brittaney W.
Fields of Fun is an excellent child care center! Our toddler has received care here since he was 12 weeks old. The teachers treat the kids like their own. My child lights up when he sees them. They are great at communicating via Brightwheel. Receiving daily pictures has been such a blessing as a working mom. Our play room is covered in art created at FOF! The facility is clean and updated. Our child had a potential medical emergency (breath holding spell - no fault of FOF) at one point and FOF responded appropriately. I can't recommend them enough. If I had to list all the great people who work here, I'd run out of characters. :)

Fields of Fun staff and team members are wonderful! They do an amazing with the kids, communication, and they are very clean! I 10/10 recommend Fields of Fun for anyone looking for care.
-Michelle R.
My daughter is in the Summer Program here, and she absolutely loves it! The facility is very nice, clean, and you're always surrounded by smiling faces and warm welcomes! Two fields trips each week, and a water day at the center. Couldn't have asked for a better summer experience for my 6-year-old, she is already asking if she gets to return next summer, that's a yes for sure! Thank you for all you do!

Worked here a year and feel so at home and accepted. Treat me fairly and kindly. I love working here!

Our building has a secure entrance that requires a fingerprint scan for entry. Our main office has a viewing window into our entry as well as security cameras, allowing us to monitor who is entering and leaving.
We know how difficult it is to bring your child to a new care setting, knowing that all rooms are monitored to ensure safe practices are being carried out can help ease some of your worry.
Private areas are available for mothers to nurse. Mothers are encouraged to take advantage of this option as we know the importance and benefits of breastfeeding. We want to help make nursing as convenient as possible.
Not only do we encourage parent-teacher interaction during drop off and pick up but we also utilize Brightwheel. With the use of the Brightwheel App, our teachers can interact with parents throughout the day via comments, pictures, and noting when a child has eaten, pottied, or any other activities.
While curriculum is very important, character building is just as important and crucial to learn early on. We introduce and incorporate the importance of being kind, compassionate, and polite every day. We partner with Grant Wood AEA to ensure all social, educational, and behavioral needs are met.
It can be difficult to navigate through parenting and we are here to help in any way possible. We invite any questions on any matter and will do what we can to assist you and all your child care needs.
There is no doubt that having structure in a child’s day is essential, no matter the age. We provide structure and age appropriate curriculum in all of our classrooms. In our infant rooms, we work with the families to ensure at-home schedules are met throughout the day. We use Creative Curriculum™, a comprehensive and research-based curriculum that features hands-on, project-based investigations as a pathway to learning.
We know how important quality care is to you, and to provide the best child care you have to have the best staff! At Fields of Fun we do our best to ensure a great work environment which leads to great care providers. All staff are required to complete the following trainings:
