About Us
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our goal at Children’s Day Center is to provide a nurturing, safe and stimulating environment that embraces learning through play to promote the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of our students.
Partners in parenting
We believe that it takes a village to raise a child, and the childcare provider is part of a family’s village. Parent involvement is encouraged at Children’s Day Center. Together with parents, we foster a community of support by having open and regular communication between teachers and parents. We hope to build this support system through monthly parent meetings, family events and volunteer opportunities.
Learning through play
We believe children learn best by “doing,” and encourage creativity, curiosity and exploration. Given opportunities to explore the world around them, young children become active, involved learners. Children’s Day Center is a place where they can be successful and discover that learning is fun.
the history of children's day center and preschool
Children’s Day Center and Preschool is the oldest group childcare center in Baraboo, Wisconsin. It was established in 1975 by parents and teachers who wanted quality, convenient group child care in a neighborhood setting, and has remained as such through the present time. It is operated by People Care, Inc., a non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of parents and community members. The center has the capacity to serve 50 children, from 6-weeks-old to 11-years-old, with an infant room, a toddler room, a preschool classroom, a Baraboo Early Learning Cooperative classroom in partnership with the Baraboo School District, and a 4K wrap around classroom.
