A thriving family life sometimes takes a village. Guiding Star Marshalltown seeks to honor the daily work and learning of women, men, and children with enriching support and family services in Marshalltown.
We serve Marshalltown families with:
- Drop-in child watch for families using our Guiding Star Center
- Family life classes
- Materials and family life resources

Child watch is a great service that offers a safe place for children to play while their parents visit Guiding Star to recharge and re-engage the sacred task of parenting.
