Request InfoWelcome to Lionheart Early Learning Center
At Lionheart Early Learning Center in Iowa City, Iowa, we understand what families want most: a safe, loving environment where children are truly known and cared for. That’s why we provide exceptional childcare for children from infants to school-age, all in one convenient location designed with families in mind.
Our experienced team is dedicated to helping your child thrive at every stage. In our infant program, babies are cared for by consistent, loving caregivers who focus on comfort, routine, and developmental support. As your child grows, they’ll transition into our toddler program, where age-appropriate learning and play spark confidence, independence, and curiosity.
For older children, we offer after-school programs and exciting summer camps that blend learning and fun through enriching activities, homework support, and plenty of time to connect with friends.
Located in the heart of Iowa City, our center makes it easy for busy families to access trusted, high-quality care. Join our childcare community and experience the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is in a place where they can grow, learn, and shine with confidence.

My name is Emily Brandenburg, and I am the Director of Lionheart Early Learning in Iowa City, IA. I have 12 years of experience in childcare and hold a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education with an emphasis on early childhood leadership. My passion for education was ignited at a young age by an inspiring Kindergarten teacher, and it has continued to drive me throughout my career.
I reside in North Liberty with my husband. We have two children and two dogs, all of whom keep us joyfully busy. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, swimming, and spending time outdoors.
