How does Kiddie Kare A’Kademie keep parents connected?

We know how hard it is to miss moments during your toddler’s day. Our Twiddle Bug Room teachers provide regular updates so you know what your child did, what they ate, and how their day went. You’ll never feel out of the loop.

At pickup, teachers share highlights from the day. You’ll hear about the songs your child sang, the art they made, and the new skills they’re working on. This daily communication builds a partnership between you and our Kenosha teaching staff that benefits your child.

What comes after the Twiddle Bug Room?

When your toddler is ready, they’ll move up to the Elmo Room (two-year-old daycare program), where they’ll begin more structured learning. Because your child already knows the center, the routines, and many of the teachers, the transition is smooth.

This is one of the biggest advantages of choosing Kiddie Kare A’Kademie in Kenosha. Your child doesn’t start over at a new center. They build on what they’ve already learned with teachers who already know them. View our tuition rates or learn about how to enroll.
