Description: My name is Kathy Velicer and I am the proud director, here at KinderCare Learning Center. Our experts designed our classrooms and curriculum to help prepare your child to succeed in school and beyond. One of the first things I would like to share with you about my center is how amazing and dedicated the teachers are. I have found throughout the years how to motivate and train staff to ensure a positive learning environment for your child. All staff members are First Aid and CPR certified and most have either an associates or Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood. Plus we are all members of the Wisconsin Registry. Our center has received the highest rating through the Young Star program of Wisconsin. Having a 5 Star program enables our parents to receive the highest quality of care and for those who require assistance, an additional percentage of county coverage.
Additional Information: 5 stars. Initial License Date: 6/17/1997. Open Jan - Dec.Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
