We have had a very positive experience with our daughter here over the past year. She is excited to see her teachers and friends at drop off, and is always smiling when we pick her up.
I was having trouble with my other daycare and reached out to Kindercare to look at options. Within twenty minutes of submitting the e-mail, the director, Gina, was calling me to give me all the information I requested. 24 hours later, I was given a tour of the place. It didn't escape me that during the tour kids could break away to come say hi or give her a hug, nor that Gina was able to name every child by name and clearly had more than a surface relationship with them. The next day my son went for a trial day, but before I left, I had already started filling out the admission paperwork.
All of the staff are great with the children and can keep up with their energy levels. I've never seen them get frustrated or angry with anyone misbehaving, and they are committed to changing their approach to find what works right for you child, not just a single way that should work for everyone. The building is always kept neat and clean, even during events like the holiday concert and the valentine's day dance. They clearly and effectively communicate about things in advance and are always willing to talk in depth about the type of day your child had during pickup.
The three staff that I want to specifically shout out are Ms. Nessa, who in addition to being my son's absolute favorite, also has some child whispering ability that can normally turn a crying drop off into a smile. She is phenomenal and can't give her enough praise. Mr. Nick and Mr. Nate are also wonderful, they have a great way with the kids and are always on the move. They work in little inside connections with the kids, from high-fives and daps, to little jokes. All the other staff have always been helpful and kind, although I have less interaction with them.
If you are on the fence, do yourself a favor, call and talk to Gina, go for a quick visit, you will be sold before you walk out the door.

I’ve really noticed a positive change at the center lately — the classroom my kid is in has been so much cleaner and more organized! I wanted to give a big shout-out to the blonde woman who’s been clearly putting effort into creating a clean, welcoming space for our kids. She’s also spent time working with the children, and you can tell right away she has a genuine passion for what she does. I actually learned she’s a teacher, but I didn’t catch her name — she absolutely deserves recognition, as many of us parents have noticed and appreciated her hard work!

I can’t say enough good things about Waunakee Kindercare! Both of my daughters attend, and from the very first day, it felt like we were joining a family. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely love what they do. My girls are always excited to go in the morning and come home happy. They even talk about the staff over the weekends, as they are a part of our family now!
What means the most to me is how much I trust them—I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving my children with anyone else. They treat my girls like their own, with so much love, patience, and encouragement. It’s such a relief to know they’re in a safe, nurturing, and positive environment every single day. Gina, the director, has been a constant, loving presence in their lives from the very beginning, and has even seen many of my daughters' "firsts". Gina has grown an incredible staff and holds them to high expectations. This is seen in how much my girls have grown socially, emotionally, and academically.
Waunakee Kindercare has given me peace of mind, love, and support through every stage, and I am so grateful. If you’re looking for a place where your children will be treated like one of their own, this is it.

Waunakee Kindercare has been a wonderful place for our daughter to grow and learn! She always comes home happy and looks forward to seeing her favorite teachers and friends everyday. They are very professional and have been excellent at accommodating certain issues such as dietary restrictions and coordinating efficient drop off and pickup during Covid 19. I would highly recommend waunakee kindercare to anyone in the area!
