Here at Kids Junction, we realize that Madison is a hub for hard-working families who desire high-quality infant care.
That’s why we don’t just see ourselves as a daycare, but a place where your infant or toddler can be nurtured like family. We want them to grow into the person they’re created to be. Your infants and toddlers are treasured members of our Kids Junction family before they can even speak!

Infant & Toddler Curriculum
In our infant and toddler program, teachers support developmental milestones with your child as they learn and grow through their first year and toddlerhood. After safety, our priority for each day is creating a unique and stimulating environment of play, music, and language repetition, including the use of stories, blocks, table toys, music and movement as well as outside activities and playtime. We take advantage of the natural environment to encourage learning and independence as your child explores using their senses and abilities.
In order to determine the individual needs of your child, we consult the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) which allows us to create goals catered to your child’s particular developmental stages. We also utilize Frog Street Infant curriculum to plan activities which nurture the cognitive growth of your child.
