Crittenton Center Programs

SHELTERING, EDUCATING, & EMPOWERING

children, individuals, and families

Crittenton Center has been serving northwest Iowa since 1895. We have grown into a multi-service organization providing childcare and preschool programs, family development, parenting and support services, and life skills training and homelessness prevention.

Child Development

Affordable childcare and preschool
for children - birth to age 6

We provide high-quality, educational childcare and preschool. Most of our parents receive some type of financial assistance and have jobs or are attending school. We use a sliding scale fee based on income and family size to determine pricing for daycare and preschool.

Life Skills Training

Preventing homelessness. More than a roof over their heads… a ray of hope.

Supervised Apartment Living (SAL) is a foster care program for teens ages 16½ to 19, who are working on completing their high school diploma/GED/High School Equivalency Test (HiSet) and is partially funded by the Iowa Department of Human Services. Project Help is a HUD-Funded Permanent Supportive Housing Program for chronically homeless individuals and families with a disability.
