Welcome to Quality Child Care!
Amy & Kids Co. is a state licensed family child care center serving Appleton, WI, and the surrounding area. We offer a loving, structured early childhood program for infants to pre-school aged children. Our goal is to provide a high quality child care program by creating a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of your child and responds to the needs of your family. We partner with parents; working together to meet the needs of our children and to build a relationship of mutual trust and respect.
Philosophy of Quality Child Care
We believe that each child is a unique and special individual who has the right to safe, stimulating, and educational quality child care regardless of race, gender, color, religion, ability, economic background, national origin, or ancestry. We know how hard it is to leave your child in the care of others but please rest assured that your child will be cherished and kept safe while you are away.

Quality Child Care is State Licensed
In Wisconsin, child care providers can choose to be state licensed, county certified, or unregulated. We choose to be state licensed because we believe licensing promotes the highest quality child care by requiring minimum standards for the care and protection of children. At least twice yearly a state licensing specialist pays a surprise visit to evaluate our program with regard to health and safety, adult-child ratio, caregiver training, equipment, nutrition, behavior and guidance procedures, and other hallmarks of quality child care. The results of these visits are always available to the public. In addition, families enrolled in our licensed facility can take advantage of federal programs like the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), and Wisconsin Shares child care assistance program.
Low Group Size Enhances Quality Care
We are a home-based program because we believe that a low child-to-caregiver ratio provides the highest quality child care by allowing for each child's individual needs to be met easily. In addition, small group sizes promote the development of close friendships and the feeling of being a family. Amy & Kids Co. is licensed for a maximum eight children; our current group consists of one infant, two toddlers, and four three-year-olds. We anticipate our next opening to be in the summer of 2009.
