Description: Lakeland's Little Learners is a state licensed child care center located in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. We are a non-profit organization. We serve children ages 2 weeks through 13 years. The center was originally established in 1985 at Lakeland Nursing Home with an enrollment of 12 children. As we continued to grow, we moved into our own building in the Elkhorn Business Park. We now provide child care for 228 families (407 children) from Elkhorn and surrounding communities.
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.

They take great care of my kids and I have no problems with their care. Their covid policy though is still a bit overboard 3 years after the pandemic began. I'm hoping it will be reevaluated now that the state of emergency has ended, but not likely.
My 5 month old son started attending Lakeland Little Learners when he was 11 weeks old. He is happy when we enter the building, and always smiles when he sees his daycare providers. He is always clean and happy when we pick him up, and they provide a note about his day, when he ate, when his diapers were changed (always frequently and as needed, not just every two-three hours) and his mood. Knowing he has a safe, fun, stimulating place to spend his day makes me feel better about going to work.
