“My sons first week at KinderCare has been amazing! I really appreciate all of the updates I get on the ap during the day. The staff are so friendly and answer all of my (many) questions. As a first time mom putting her son in childcare during the pandemic, I've definitely felt anxious. My son is already gaining really good skills from being at KinderCare and its only been a week! I am very happy with his progress and am excited to see him continue to grow and learn. He's trying new foods, getting good sleep, and learning new things! I would recommend this facility to any parent.”

“It's heart breaking to see the negative reviews on here directed towards this center. I have had nothing but a wonderful experience with Learning Ladder. The staff is so incredibly personable and they genuinely care for the children. Along with the outstanding playground space they provide for the various age groups, the classrooms are all very well supplied with activities, toys, and crafts for indoor play as well. One of the most structured centers I have been to.”

“My kids loved going to Teddy's Place! The teachers/owners were awesome and my kids received great care there. They really care about the health and safety of the kids, as well as helping prepare them for school. If you're looking for quality child care/preschooling, this is one of the best in the area.”

“I had the best experience here!! The instructors and students are so thoughtful of the clients. I felt welcomed and pampered the entire time I was there. Aside from the excellent service I received from them, I'm so in love with how my mani and pedi turned out. I felt that everything was completed in a perfect amount of time. Even though students provide the service, it did not take nearly as long as I thought it would. I 100% recommend and will be returning.”

“Great daycare! My daughter excited to go their everyday! I am happy with curriculum, food and other activities they provide at BH. Recommended to my friends and people I know, and will continue to do that! Thank you, BH!”

“We LOVE this daycare. We've been going here for a few weeks and I get pictures nearly every day, plus all kinds of updates about my son throughout the day, and I can peek in and watch him during daycare with their video access. The activities they do with the kids look so fun, plus they take them on walks when they can. Diapers and food/milk are included with the cost so I'm just blown away with the value of care he's receiving, it's amazing. We love his teachers and all the staff there.”

“When looking at daycares, I wasn’t sure if the Goddard School was in our budget, given their well respected programming. After doing our research, we found the cost to be comparable but the value to be exponentially greater than other local options.Since day 1 of starting at Goddard School, our expectations have been exceeded. The teachers in each of the 3 classrooms our child has been in are kind, caring and passionate, and they truly connect with my child. They are responsive to my child’s unique needs, and they work alongside parents to help foster development, including working through age appropriate behavior issues. I am amazed at what my child is learning at such a young age, and he is very clearly ahead of the curve compared to other kids his age at other daycares.My child looks forward to going to “school” each day, and he barely realizes I’m leaving at drop off because he’s already playing with friends. He even lists off the names of his teachers and friends on the way home each day.We couldn’t be more happy with our experience this far, and we look forward to our future child attending Goddard as well.”

““Mom, I love my school!” I frequently hear this when I pick my son up after his school day. It is music to my ears! I ask him why he loves IHM so much. His top responses include: how much fun he has during the day, how the teachers, principal and priest are all so kind, and how he is friends with all the kids in his class along with kids in other classes. IHM encourages friendships across all the grades which creates a great sense of community and family at IHM.Another comment I hear often from my son is “hot lunch at school is so yummy!” My son raves about the fresh fruit/salad bar options that he has with his fresh meal. IHM’s lunch program is phenomenal. The school chef prepares the school lunches fresh and from scratch daily.”

“Our experience with KinderCare in Monona absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we enrolled our child, we knew we had made the right choice.The staff is incredible – they are not only professional but also warm and caring. It's evident that they genuinely love what they do. Our child has formed strong bonds with the caregivers, and it's heartwarming to see the genuine affection they have for each other.The facility is well-maintained, ensuring a safe and clean environment for the children.Communication through the daily app and in person with the staff is seamles. They are always available to discuss our child's progress and any concerns we may have. The regular updates keep us in the loop, making us feel like an integral part of our child's daycare experience.”

“We love MGNS! Great teachers all around, caring compassionate and open-minded staff. Also great parents to meet and get to know! A co-op so parents are very involved, our daughter absolutely loves school there and we plan to continue using MGNS for our younger daughter!”

“My infant started at this Kindercare summer 2023. I’ve been very grateful for the care received in the infant room. Miss Tona and Miss Kamiyah are so kind and gentle and take great care of my baby. The new center director, Miss Michelle, is also responsive and proactive in ensuring that there is a safe environment for the babies.”

“Every day when I come to pick up our daughter, I see her smiling and laughing with her teacher through the classroom window and get a little misty eyed. It means the world to us to know she is surrounded by a team that loves her and is as excited to see her each day as we are. Thank you, TLE!”

“As an employee, I truly enjoy working for this company. I have worked at the Sun Prairie location for four years. I enjoy the friendly atmosphere in the center. The moment I walk in the door, my director greets me with a smile on her face. I love the fact that they give you the opportunity to work with all of the different age groups when you start and will place you in the classroom that suits you the best. I also enjoy working with all of the other employees. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. I'm so glad that I have the opportunity to work for Play Haven.”

“We love this center. Our son, 2 and a half, has been attending since right after his 1st birthday. The center itself has seen some administrative changes in the last year or so, but we are happy to have stuck it out.The teachers are wonderful. They truly love and challenge the kids. If we miss a day for whatever reason, I feel like he is missing out on something, which is actually really an amazing feeling.The app that they have for parents is GREAT. You can keep track of schedules, get photos, direct message the teachers and stay up to date on their daily activities.I would recommend this center to anyone looking for care for their children!”

“Placing our child in daycare for the first time was undoubtedly nerve-wracking. Fortunately, JFM has proven to be a stellar choice, putting our worries to rest. The provision of snacks and the director's thoughtful practice of taking the kids for a park stroll in the summer, weather permitting, has added a delightful dimension to our child's experience.Benny, the resident rabbit, has become a cherished companion for our child. Despite his usually reserved nature, Benny is open to the occasional petting, adding to the warm and inviting ambiance of JFM.Despite the converted house setting, the layout at JFM ensures that each child has their own dedicated space. Our child particularly cherished the upstairs area with its own loft, expressing disappointment at outgrowing the age for play there.The convenience of the van service for student pickup from nearby schools is a noteworthy perk. While picking up our child can be a bit hectic due to limited parking, I've always managed to find a suitable spot without much trouble. Despite what other reviews say, our child has expressed that they can chatter all they want when they are being transported to JFM location.Addressing security concerns, the personalized pin system, where parents create their own entry code, instills confidence. I've never felt my child to be unsafe during her time at JFM.Furthermore, the director's willingness to work with us for flexible drop-off arrangements on certain days has been a tremendous relief. We are genuinely grateful for the positive experiences JFM has provided for our child thus far. I wholeheartedly recommend JFM to other parents seeking a reliable and accommodating daycare option for their children.”

“My girls (2&3) have been going here for about a month and a half and absolutely love it. Their vocabulary is expanding daily and are always learning new things each week. They do so many projects and keep the kids busy and interactive. Coloring, painting, water days, scavenger hunts, walks, games, learning about each holiday that comes up and the meaning behind them. Their app is amazing as well as I can see what they are doing during the day. Super happy.”
