If you are an out-of-district resident, Tiger Cubs Preschool is now open to families with children eligible for 4-year-old preschool beyond our district boundaries! We are enrolling students within our district too.
Tiger Cubs is the West Des Moines Community Schools preschool program located in WDMCS buildings. It provides opportunities for children to develop readiness skills for kindergarten. This application is for 4-year-old preschool at Clive Learning Academy, Crestview School of Inquiry, Fairmeadows, Hillside, Jordan Creek, Learning Resource Center, Western Hills, and Westridge elementary schools. A request form is required for each child in your family who is applying for Tiger Cubs Preschool placement (i.e. multiples).
Cost: Monthly tuition is paid for by the Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program (SWVPP). Low-income families may also apply for priority placement.
Please fill out all of the following information to request a 2020-21 Tiger Cubs placement. You will be contacted within 5 business days of your enrollment if your child has a spot in a Tiger Cubs preschool. If your child has spot, you will receive a date and time we need you to confirm your spot. If placed on the waiting list, you will be contacted again only if a placement has become available for your child.
If you have questions, please contact Alyssa Welling, Teaching and Learning/Learning Resource Center Secretary at 515-633-5065 or
