Quality Child Care Program

A quality child care program gives children a strong start as they grow and prepare for school. In my play-based program, children build confidence, independence, and social skills through everyday experiences and relationships.

Quality Child Care for All Ages

I want to help you nurture your child's healthy development. My high quality child care program enables children of all ages to learn and grow at their own pace in a supportive environment.

Highlights of Quality Child Care

• Small group size that fosters strong friendships, develops social skills, and provides lots of individual attention.
• An experienced caregiver with a strong understanding of child development.
• Warm and responsive interactions which enable the development of secure attachments and build a foundation for learning.
• Mixed age grouping where children experience different roles in a family, build self-help skills, and learn how to get along with others.
• Daily activities that support development through play and exploration.
• A play-based approach that supports learning through hands-on experiences and relationships.
• Delicious, nutritious meals that exceed Federal standards and children enjoy.
• Strong health and safety practices that support health, prevent the spread of germs, and keep children safe while at child care.
• A certified Eco-Healthy program that reduces exposure to toxics and other environmental hazards through natural "green" strategies.
• Wellness practices that exceed licensing standards and help development of lifelong healthy habits.
• Large, fenced-in outdoor classroom with engaging activity areas and plenty of room for children to run, play, and move their whole body.

Quality That Goes Above and Beyond

In Wisconsin, child care programs can be state licensed, county certified, or unregulated. I choose to be state licensed because I believe licensing promotes high-quality care for children. A licensing specialist regularly makes unannounced visits to evaluate my program, and the results of these visits are available publicly.

I’ve also taken the extra step of becoming accredited through the Satellite Family Child Care System and earning a 5-Star rating from YoungStar, Wisconsin’s quality rating system. This reflects lower adult-to-child ratios, stronger health and safety practices, richer learning experiences, and ongoing professional development, all above minimum licensing requirements.
